DURBIN'S DREAM ACT LEGISLATION FAILS

This afternoon Republicans in the Senate once again banded together to defeat S.2205, the DREAM Act amnesty bill.

It's time to wake up to what Sen., Durbin and his pals such as Sen., Harry Reid are trying to do to American Voters. A few weeks ago another amnesty Bill was defeated in the Senate because an overwhelming number of Americans contacted their Senators and Representatives and demanded that they not pass such legislation.

Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin decided he knew better than the voters and contrived an "end run" around the defeat of the previous legislation and proposed something called the Dream Act. You can go to the following link to read the details of this "rip-off the taxpayer" legislation:

Those who do not want the country to continue to be flooded with illegal immigrants who continue to soak up ever increasing amounts of taxpayer dollars should consider ways to replace Illinois Sen. Durbin and his allies and friends in the Senate.

THE SCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING

Along with Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize has come a surge in attention to his favorite fund raising hogwash ... the claptrap of Global Warming.

AL'S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

I don't think I could write a more accurate description of Al Gore than the one in the following op/ed
from one of our friends across the pond:

What Has Al Gore Done for World Peace?
by Damian Thompson
The Daily Telegraph (U.K.)
October 12, 2007

So Al Gore is the joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Admittedly, he has to share it with the United Nations’ climate change panel - but, even so, I think we need to declare an international smugness alert.  The former U.S. Vice President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt ... on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?

More to the point, can you imagine how enormous his already massive carbon footprint will become once he starts jetting around the world bragging about his new title?

Just after Gore won an Oscar for his global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth - in which he asked American households to cut their use of electricity - the Tennessee Centre for Policy Research took a look at Al's energy bills.

It reckoned that his 20-room, eight-bathroom mansion in Nashville sometimes uses twice the energy in one month that the average American household gets through in a year. The combined energy and gas bills for his estate came to nearly $30,000 in 2006. Ah, say his defenders, but he uses rainwater to flush his lavatories. Is there enough rainwater in the world, I wonder?

There are so many reasons why Gore shouldn't have won the peace prize for his preachiness. Alas, it is too late to influence their decision, but I'd have liked to refer the judges to a ruling by Mr. Justice Burton, a High Court judge who has criticised the Government for sending out An Inconvenient Truth to schools without a health warning ... (there's more...)

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

As in all wars, there are famous personalities who "don't get it." The unfortunate difference between the Civil War and the present War on Terror is that most of the Democrat Party leadership is controlled by people who "don't get it!"

By their constant "speechmaking" and campaigning to demoralize our Armed Forces they are putting the country in great danger... Chuck
