Mix It Up Poll backfires

2005-09-08T22:55:00.000-07:00

Tolerance.org's "Mix It Up" website may want to reconsider having a poll, when it currently does not read in their favor:

Will you mix it up with a new crew this year?

Yes. 12%

I will try hanging with some new people. 14%

I already move between groups. 10%

No. 66%

Once again, just goes to show that American youth will not allow the diversity thought police to control what they have to think and say. We have one thing to say to "tolerance".org: ONE NATION - ONE PEOPLE!

Additions to 'Corporate Nationalism'

2005-09-08T18:29:00.000-07:00

Newest addition to my 'Corporate Nationalism' economic policy:

Privatization

Ronald Reagan once said that, "Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem." As was witnessed in the Hurricane Katrina distaster (and many other instances before it), the government either does not have the ability or the will to act decisively and as one. Why? Because there is no true incentive for them to do so. In our society, we are driven by the financial bottom line, and the govenment does not have one. That is why many of the government's major agencies need to be privatized.

The government agencies that are to be made private or eliminated include (but are temporarily not limited to); the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUD), the National Emdowment for the Arts (NEA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the United States Postal Service (USPS), the African Development Foundation (ADF), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB), the Federal Labor Relations Committee (FLRC), the Federal Meditation & Conciliation Service (FMCS), the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (FMSHRC), the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC), the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC), the Postal Rate Commission (PRC), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), the United States Commission of Civil Rights (USCCR), and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC).

These are only a number of the countless government agencies and subdivisions that consume more than they produce every year. By either privatizing or eliminating them, our government will be leaner, more cost efficent, and less beaucratic. The privatized agencies will be handled by corporations whose best interest is providing quick, cheap, and effective service to its customers, the American people.

What Needs to Happen in Iraq

2005-09-06T14:47:00.000-07:00

Hindisght is indeed 20/20. While the second campaign of the War on Terror, the Iraq War, was a brilliant success, the aftermath has been a struggle, to say the least. The war was a spectactural victory, border to Baghdad in 21 days, a once thought impossible feat. But on May 1, 2003, our brilliant military victory ended, turning into a bloody, mismanaged occupation. All the lessons we learned from the occupations and rebuilding of Germany, Japan, and Italy were forgotten. We disbanded the Iraqi military, opened the borders, and let known foreign insurgants move from town to town, all while doing nothing about it.

Despite this, though, there were signs of hope; the transfer of power in June 2004, the elections in January 2005 (in which more people voted per capita than in the American 2004 election), and now (despite some set backs) the budding Iraqi Constitution. No matter what color lenses we look through at the Iraqi occupation, it does not reflect our best interests, or our best values. If we are to save face after this bungled occupation, we need to do it quick and we need to do it right.

Firstly; insurgants. We're handling them like someone would handle a basket of eggs; very gently. How hard is this to understand? They are the enemy: destroy them! We've had trouble with Islamic terror before, in the Philippines in 1911. Instead of announcing our offensive and waiting until our soldiers themselves were shot at, General John J. Pershing had another idea. After his soldiers rounded up 50 terrorists, he preceded to have them dig their own graves, then tied them to poles, firing squad style. But here's the twist, his soldiers covered the terrorists in pig's blood, a cardinal sin in the Muslim faith is to touch anything related to a pig. According to their religion, these soldiers of Allah were now doomed to hell. The American soldiers then covered their bullets in pig's blood and executed 49 out of 50 jihaids. They allowed the last one to run back to his village to tell his comrades what had happened. There wasn't another case of Muslim terror in the islands for 50 years.

But don't hold your breathe for any of this type of fighting, ie winning the war. The outcry from the "sensitives" would be deafening, and Bush isn't going to take any chances sacrificing the GOP's chances at the next election. The Presidency has become like a line of seat warmers, trying to keep it comfortable for the next party member to jump in. There is no longer a difference between the two major parties at the national level. I'd be writing this same essay if Kerry were at the helm.

The American people want to know your solution, Mr. Bush. I have supported both of your wars, and even your occupation, until now. The days of meekly defending the Iraqi occupation are over for me. Either you are going to win this war for us, of there will not be a Republican in office come '08.

Template Changes

2005-09-05T19:44:00.000-07:00

I start my junior year of high school tomorrow, my four classes including; Advanced Placement Comparative Politics, Accounting, Algebra II, & Current Communications. How's it gonna go? We're going to find out.

If you haven't noticed, I've just made some template changes, changing three of my links to more ideologically comprable sites, and changing the 'Our Hero' section from President Ronald Reagan to Reverend Pat Robertson. A reader of this blog was astute enough to point my economic differences with the greatest president of the 20th century, and besides, who doesn't like Rev. Robertson?

Corporate Nationalism

2005-09-04T14:40:00.000-07:00

As the Beast in the East continues to grow economically and militarily, its high time we started rethinking our economic policy towards China. While conservatives have long since prayed at the alter of free trade capitalism, this may eventually come back to haunt us down the road. We are increasingly more dependent on imported goods, which is not intune with what America was founded on; rugged individualism.
Our economy must undergo a transformation that will allow it, in time, to draw away from the teet of international trade, towards the goal of total self sufficency. Here is what needs to happen:

Trade

As our debt grows into the trillions of dollars, we can point the finger at one menace, Chinese trade. Over one fourth of all of our goods come from communist China, something which was unthinkable during the Cold War. Ending economic relations with communist China will be painful on our own economy and wallets, but it is a necessary sacrifice. China's labor laws encourage American outsourcing, taking our jobs and money elsewhere. To compete, employers must drive down wages, causing the American worker to bear the brunt of the new "global economy". We must seek to protect our compatriots, especially those most vulnerable in this situation, the America worker. To pull up the slack from ending trade with China, we can instead divert imports from India and Mexico, whose manufactors can do everything China once did, at the same price, without having to fuel the communist war machine.

Corporate Taxation

Outsourcing is taking away American jobs faster than insourcing or domestic job creation can produce them. Instead of imposing harsh penalties on American corporations and crippling our economic base (which has made us the most powerful country in the world), there is a better solution. American corporations leave for countries like the Caymen Islands because of their low tax levels. Like any industry, we must slash prices to stay competitive. We must lower our corporate taxes to a level that is either equal to, or better than the foreign nation where our corporations are headed. By doing so, we would create a perfect climate for companies to remain in America, keeping our jobs and currency inside our borders. Our low taxes would also be very tempting to international corporations, especially European ones. Instead of paying high taxes on everything in socialist Europe, they can come to the States, and be able to run their business away from the prying eyes of the European Union. This insourcing would generate extra American tax revenue and create new jobs in America, a win win scenrio.

Privatization

Ronald Reagan once said that, "Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem." As was witnessed in the Hurricane Katrina distaster (and many other instances before it), the government either does not have the ability or the will to act decisively and as one. Why?

New Orleans left to dead and dying/Rehnquist dies

2005-09-04T12:22:00.000-07:00

Sep 4, 7:20 AM (ET)

By ALLEN G. BREED

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - As the last weary refugees from the Superdome and convention center headed to shelters, New Orleans drew closer to dealing with its dead, a gruesome landscape of corpses expected to number in the thousands.
No one knows how many people were killed by Hurricane Katrina and how many more succumbed waiting to be rescued. But the bodies are everywhere: hidden in attics, floating in the ruined city, crumpled in wheelchairs, abandoned on highways.
Echoing the mayor's prediction, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Saturday she expected the death toll to reach the thousands. And Craig Vanderwagen, rear admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service, said one morgue alone, at a St. Gabriel prison, expected 1,000 to 2,000 bodies.
Touring an airport triage center, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a physician, said "a lot more than eight to 10 people are dying a day."

Most were those too sick or weak to survive. But not all.
Charles Womack, a 30-year-old roofer, said he saw one man beaten to death and another commit suicide at the Superdome. Womack was beaten with a pipe and treated at the airport center, where bodies were kept in a refrigerated truck.
"One guy jumped off a balcony. I saw him do it. He was talking to a lady about it. He said it reminded him of the war and he couldn't leave," he said.
Three babies died at the convention center from heat exhaustion, said Mark Kyle, a medical relief provider.
But some progress was evident. The last 300 refugees at the Superdome were evacuated Saturday evening, eliciting cheers from members of the Texas National Guard who had been standing watch over the facility for nearly a week as some 20,000 hurricane survivors waited for rescue.

On Sunday, utilities planned to send trucks into the city to assess storm damage for the first time since Katrina struck. Morgan Stewart, a spokesman for electricity provider Entergy Corp., said the National Guard would escort the company's vehicles.
The convention center was "almost empty" after 4,200 people were removed, according to Marty Bahamonde, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Earlier estimates of the crowd climbed as high as 25,000.
Thousands of refugees dragged their meager belongings to buses, the mood more numb than jubilant. Yolando Sanders, who had been stuck at the convention center for five days, was among those who filed past corpses to reach the buses.
"Anyplace is better than here," she said.
"People are dying over there."

Nearby, a woman lay dead in a wheelchair on the front steps. A man was covered in a black drape with a dry line of blood running to the gutter, where it had pooled. Another had lain on a chaise lounge for four days, his stocking feet peeking out from under a quilt.
By mid-afternoon, only pockets of stragglers remained in the streets around the convention center, and New Orleans paramedics began carting away the dead.
The exact number of dead won't be known for some time. Survivors were still being plucked from roofs and shattered highways across the city. President Bush ordered more than 7,000 active duty forces to the Gulf Coast on Saturday.
"There are people in apartments and hotels that you didn't know were there," Army Brig. Gen. Mark Graham said.
The overwhelming majority of those stranded in the post-Katrina chaos were those without the resources to escape - and, overwhelmingly, they were black.

"The first few days were a natural disaster. The last four days were a man-made disaster," said Phillip Holt, 51, who was rescued from his home Saturday with his partner and three of their aging Chihuahuas. They left a fourth behind they couldn't grab in time.
Tens of thousands of people had been evacuated from the city, seeking safety in Texas, Tennessee and many other states.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned Saturday that his enormous state was running out of room, with more than 220,000 hurricane refugees camped out there and more coming. Emergency workers at the Astrodome were told to expect 10,000 new arrivals daily for the next three days.
In Washington, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta announced that more than 10,000 people had been flown out of New Orleans in what he called the largest airlift in history on U.S. soil. He said the flights would continue as long as needed.
Thousands of people remained at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, where officials turned a Delta Blue terminal into a triage unit. Officials said 3,000 to 5,000 people had been treated at the unit, but fewer than 200 remain. Others throughout the airport awaited transport out of the city.
"In the beginning it was like trying to lasso an octopus. When we got here it was overwhelming," said Jake Jacoby, a physician helping run the center.
Airport director Roy Williams said about 30 people had died, some of them elderly and ill. The bodies were being kept in refrigerated trucks as a temporary morgue.
At the convention center, people stumbled toward the helicopters, dehydrated and nearly passing out from exhaustion. Many had to be carried by National Guard troops and police on stretchers. And some were being pushed up the street on office chairs and on dollies.
Nita LaGarde, 105, was pushed down the street in her wheelchair as her nurse's 5-year-old granddaughter, Tanisha Blevin, held her hand. The pair spent two days in an attic, two days on an interstate island and the last four days on the pavement in front of the convention center.
"They're good to see," LaGarde said, with remarkable gusto as she waited to be loaded onto a gray Marine helicopter. She said they were sent by God. "Whatever he has for you, he'll take care of you. He'll sure take care of you."
LaGarde's nurse, Ernestine Dangerfield, 60, said LaGarde had not had a clean adult diaper in more than two days. "I just want to get somewhere where I can get her nice and clean," she said.
Around the corner, a motley fleet of luxury tour buses and yellow school buses lined up two deep to pick up some of the healthier refugees. National Guardsmen confiscated a gun, knives and letter openers from people before they got on the buses.
"It's been a long time coming," Derek Dabon, 29, said as he waited to pass through a guard checkpoint. "There's no way I'm coming back. To what? That don't make sense. I'm going to start a new life."
Hillary Snowton, 40, sat on the sidewalk outside with a piece of white sheet tied around his face like a bandanna as he stared at a body that had been lying on a chaise lounge for four days, its stocking feet peeking out from under a quilt.
"It's for the smell of the dead body," he said of the sheet. His brother-in-law, Octave Carter, 42, said it has been "every day, every morning, breakfast lunch and dinner looking at it."
When asked why he didn't move further away from the corpse, Carter replied, "it stinks everywhere."
Dan Craig, director of recovery at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said it could take up to six months to get the water out of New Orleans, and the city would then need to dry out, which could take up to three more months.
A Saks Fifth Avenue store billowed smoke Saturday, as did rows of warehouses on the east bank of the Mississippi River, where corrugated roofs buckled and tiny explosions erupted. Gunfire - almost two dozen shots - broke out in the French Quarter.
In the French Quarter, some residents refused or did not know how to get out. Some holed up with guns.
As the warehouse district burned, Ron Seitzer, 61, washed his dirty laundry in the even dirtier waters of the Mississippi River and said he didn't know how much longer he could stay without water or power, surrounded by looters.
"I've never even had a nightmare or a beautiful dream about this," he said as he watched the warehouses burn. "People are just not themselves."

Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies of Cancer
Sep 04 8:35 AM US/Eastern

By GINA HOLLAND
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who oversaw the high court's conservative shift and presided over the impeachment trial of President Clinton, died Saturday evening. He was 80 years old and had spent 33 years on the Supreme Court.

Rehnquist's death opens a rare second vacancy on the nation's highest court and gives President Bush, whose election Rehnquist helped decide, an opportunity shape the makeup of the court for years to come.

"The Chief Justice battled thyroid cancer since being diagnosed last October and continued to perform his duties on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days," court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in announcing his death.

Rehnquist was surrounded by his three children when he died at his home in suburban Arlington, Va. His wife died in 1991.

Rehnquist was appointed to the Supreme Court as an associate justice in 1971 by President Nixon and took his seat on Jan. 7, 1972. He was elevated to chief justice by President Reagan in 1986.

The death leaves Bush with his second court opening within four months and sets up what's expected to be an even more bruising Senate confirmation battle than that of John Roberts.

It was not immediately clear what impact Rehnquist's death would have on confirmation hearings for Roberts, scheduled to begin Tuesday.

The last time there were simultaneous vacancies at the court was 1971, when Justices Hugo Black and John Marshall Harlan retired in September, about a week apart. Rehnquist, then a Justice Department lawyer, urged the Nixon administration to move fast in replacing them and wound up being appointed to Harlan's seat himself.

Rehnquist presided over Clinton's impeachment trial in 1999, helped settle the 2000 presidential election in Bush's favor, and fashioned decisions over the years that diluted the powers of the federal government while strengthening those of the states.

Arberg said plans regarding funeral arrangements would be forthcoming.

Bush was notified of Rehnquist's death shortly before 11 p.m. EDT.

"President Bush and Mrs. Bush are deeply saddened by the news," said White House counselor Dan Bartlett. "It's a tremendous loss for our nation." The president was expected to make a personal statement about Rehnquist on Sunday.

Many court watchers had expected the ailing chief justice to step down over the summer, which would have given the Senate a chance to confirm his successor while the court was out of session. Instead Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement to spend time with her ill husband. Bush chose Roberts, a former Rehnquist clerk and friend, to replace O'Connor.

Rehnquist said on July 14 he would remain on the bench as long as his health allowed.

The president could elevate to chief justice one of the court's conservatives, such as Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, but it's more likely he will choose someone from outside the court.

Possible replacements include Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and federal courts of appeals judges J. Michael Luttig, Edith Clement, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Michael McConnell, Emilio Garza, and James Harvie Wilkinson III. Others mentioned are former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, lawyer Miguel Estrada and former deputy attorney general Larry Thompson.

Rehnquist could be an enigmatic man. Stern and cold on the bench, he had a deep throaty laugh and warm side away from it.

In his courtroom is was not uncommon for the chief judge to snap at lawyers who exceeded their time. Behind large glasses he would peer down from the bench, sometimes raising his eyebrows to an exaggerated arch at their responses.

But when he set aside his court robes, Rehnquist emerged as a family man and beloved boss who remembered even the tiniest of details about those who worked for him in his many years at the Supreme Court.

He was a lifelong sports fan, trivia buff and a student of history who spoke often to local historical societies.

Rehnquist, who loved to play tennis well into his 70s, announced last October that he had thyroid cancer. He had a trachea tube inserted to help him breathe and underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatments. He appeared frail at Bush's inauguration in January and missed five months of court sessions before returning to the bench in March.

On the court's final meeting day of the last term, June 27, Rehnquist appeared gaunt and had difficulty as he announced the last decision of the term _ an opinion he wrote upholding a Ten Commandments display in Texas. His breathing was labored, and he kept the explanation short.

He had no public appearances over the summer, although he was filmed by television crews in July as he left the hospital following two nights for treatment of a fever.

Rehnquist had an extraordinary career, with many historic milestones.

In 1999, he presided over Clinton's impeachment trial from the presiding officer's chair seat in the Senate, something only one other chief justice had done. A year later he was one of five Republican- nominated justices who voted to stop presidential ballot recounts in Florida, effectively deciding the election for Bush over Democrat Al Gore.

Rehnquist, who championed states' rights and helped speed up executions, is the only member still on the court who voted on Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion. He opposed that decision, writing: "Even today, when society's views on abortion are changing, the very existence of the debate is evidence that the `right' to an abortion is not so universally accepted as (Roe) would have us believe."

He believed there was a place for some religion in government. He wrote the 5-4 decision in 2002 that said parents may use public tax money to send their children to religious schools. Two years later, he was distressed when the court passed up a chance to declare that the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is constitutional.

"The phrase 'under God' in the pledge seems, as a historical matter, to sum up the attitude of the nation's leaders, and to manifest itself in many of our public observances," he wrote.

Rehnquist leaves without accomplishing the legal revolution he had hoped for as the nation's 16th chief justice. As Rehnquist read it, the Constitution lets states outlaw abortion and sponsor prayers in public schools but bars them from giving special, affirmative-action preferences to racial minorities and women. The court he led disagreed.

In 2003, for example, the court preserved affirmative action in college admissions and issued a landmark gay rights ruling that struck down laws criminalizing gay sex, both over Rehnquist's objections. And last year, Rehnquist disagreed when the court ruled that the government cannot indefinitely detain terrorism suspects and deny them access to courts

Rehnquist was somewhat of a surprise choice when Nixon nominated him to the court in 1971. He was a 47-year-old Justice Department lawyer with a reputation for brilliance and unbending conservative ideology when he was chosen to fill the seat of retiring Justice John Marshall Harlan. Rehnquist, who practiced law in Phoenix before moving to Washington, was the court's youngest member.

For years he was known as the "Lone Ranger" for his many dissents on a then-liberal court that left him ideologically isolated on the far right. Succeeding appointments of conservative justices and Rehnquist's elevation by President Reagan to the federal judiciary's top job in 1986 transformed his role into one of leading and nurturing an increasingly conservative Supreme Court.

Rehnquist was the force behind the court's push for greater states' rights. The chief justice has been the leader of five conservatives, sometimes called "the Rehnquist five," who generally advocate limited federal government interference.

Those five _ Rehnquist and O'Connor, Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Thomas _ have voted together to strike down federal laws intended to protect female victims of violent crime and keep guns away from schools, on grounds that those issues were better dealt with at the local level. They split, however, in a recent decision upholding the federal government's right to ban sick people from smoking marijuana even in states that have laws allowing the treatment.

The Rehnquist five were together in the Bush v. Gore decision, which critics predicted would tarnish the court's hard-won luster. The closing paragraph of a book Rehnquist wrote on the court's history may stand as his answer to criticism.

Rehnquist noted that the court makes "demonstrable errors" from time to time, but he added, "It and the country have survived these mistakes and the court as an institution has steadily grown in authority and prestige."

Rehnquist, a widower since 1991, dodged questions about his legacy in a March 2004 interview. He said that he tried to keep the court running smoothly and keep the peace among the justices.

Within the court, Rehnquist was a far more popular chief justice than his predecessor, Warren Burger. Liberal Justice John Paul Stevens said in 2002 that Rehnquist brought "efficiency, good humor and absolute impartiality" to the job. Some justices complained that Burger was heavy-handed and pompous.

Rehnquist's grandparents emigrated to the United States from Sweden in 1880 and settled in Chicago. His grandfather was a tailor, his grandmother a school teacher. Rehnquist grew up in Wisconsin, the son of paper salesman and a translator.

He at first had planned to be a college professor, but a test showed him suited to the legal field. In 1952, he graduated first in his class at Stanford University's law school, where he briefly dated O'Connor, the high court's first female justice.

Rehnquist caused great amusement when he departed from tradition by adding four shiny gold stripes to each sleeve of his black robe in The flourish was inspired by a costume in a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta.

Rehnquist has led a quiet social life outside the court. Until recently, he walked daily, as tonic for a chronic bad back, and played tennis with his law clerks. He enjoyed bridge, spending time with his eight grandchildren, charades and a monthly poker game with Scalia and a revolving cast of powerful Washington men. He liked beer, and smoked in private.

The only chief justice older than Rehnquist was Roger Taney, who presided over the high court in the mid-1800s until his death at 87. Rehnquist was also closing in on the record for longest-serving justice. Only four men were on the court 34 years or longer.

Thousands of Refugees Continue to Await Help

2005-09-03T15:44:00.000-07:00

Saturday, September 03, 2005

NEW ORLEANS — Planes, trains and buses delivered refugees to safety on Saturday as the evacuation of New Orleans finally appeared to pick up steam.

Buses had evacuated most people from the Superdome (search) by early morning. At the equally squalid convention center, thousands of people began pushing and dragging their belongings up the street to more than a dozen air-conditioned buses, the mood more numb than jubilant.

More than 50,000 people had been trapped for days at the two filthy, sweltering buildings, suffering from a lack of food, water or medical attention. Help came too late for a number of them — dead bodies were a common sight, in wheelchairs, wrapped in blankets or just abandoned.

Thousands of people were at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (search), where fewer than 200 remained in a medical triage unit where officials said 3,000 to 5,000 people had been treated since the beginning of the storm.

Since the cavalry arrived in New Orleans on Friday, more than 25,000 residents have been evacuated, Mike Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (search), said at a briefing Saturday morning in Baton Rouge.

Both the number of people left in the city and the death toll remained unknown, because people continued showing up at evacuation sites and dead bodies were still being counted, Brown said.

"There are people in apartments and hotels that you didn't know were there," Army Brig. Gen. Mark Graham said at the briefing.

Earlier this week, Mayor Ray Nagin (search) said he expected the death toll to reach the thousands. That figure was echoed Saturday by Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Craig Vanderwagen, read admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service, said one morgue alone, at a prison in St. Gabriel, expected to end up with 1,000 to 2,000 bodies.

At the convention center, Yolanda Sanders stood at a barricade clutching her cocker spaniel, Toto. She had been waiting to be evacuated for five days.

"I had faith that they'd come. I feel good that I know I can get to my family," she said. Sanders didn't know yet where they were taking her, but "anyplace is better than here. People are dying over there."

Refugees filed past corpses to get to the buses and left garbage bags and suitcases full of belongings at the side of the road because there was no room. National Guardsmen confiscated knives and letter openers from people before they got on the buses.

Helicopters were removing the sickest people from the center, and two of the city's most troubled hospitals were evacuated Friday after desperate doctors spent days making tough choices about which patients got dwindling supplies of food, water and medicines.

"We're just trying to ease their pain, give them a little bit of dignity and get them out of here," said Lt. Col. Connie McNabb.

At the south end of the convention center, hundreds of people stumbled toward helicopters, dehydrated and nearly passing out from exhaustion. Many had to be carried by National Guard troops and police on stretchers. And some were being pushed up the street on office chairs and dollies.

A Saks Fifth Avenue store billowed smoke Saturday, as did rows of warehouses on the east bank of the Mississippi River, where corrugated roofs buckled and tiny explosions erupted. Gunfire — almost two dozen shots — broke out in the French Quarter overnight.

As the warehouse district burned, Ron Seitzer, 61, washed his dirty laundry in the even dirtier waters of the Mississippi River and said he didn't know how much longer he could stay without water or power, surrounded by looters.

"I've never even had a nightmare or a beautiful dream about this," he said as he watched the warehouses burn. "People are just not themselves."

In what looked like a scene from a Third World country Friday, some outside the convention center threw their arms heavenward and others hollered profanities as camouflage-green vehicles and supply trucks finally rolled through axle-deep floodwaters into what remained of New Orleans.

National Guard Lt. Col. Jerry Crooks said troops had served more than 70,000 meals outside the convention center and had 130,000 more on hand. Watching the caravan, Leschia Radford sang the praises of a higher power.

"Lord, I thank you for getting us out of here!" Radford shrieked.

But on Saturday, hope was overtaken by frustration as people continued to wait. A dead man lay on sidewalk under a blanket with a stream of blood running down the pavement toward the gutter. People said he died violently.

"We're hurting out here, man. We got to get help. All we want is someone to feel our pain, that's all," said Tasheka Johnson, 24.

About a dozen people who headed down the street to look for food and water said they were turned back by a soldier who pulled a gun.

"We had to get something to eat. What are they doing pulling a gun?" said Richard Johnson, 28.

The soldiers' arrival-in-force came amid angry complaints from local officials that the federal government had bungled the relief effort and let people die in the streets for lack of food, water or medicine as the city was overtaken by looting, rape and arson.

"The people of our city are holding on by a thread," Nagin warned. "Time has run out. Can we survive another night? And who can we depend on? Only God knows."

The president took a land and air tour of hard-hit areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama on Friday, and admitted of the relief effort: "The results are not enough." Congress passed a $10.5 billion disaster aid package, and Bush quickly signed the measure.

Within minutes of the soldiers' arrival at the convention center, they set up six food and water lines. The crowd was for the most part orderly and grateful.

Diane Sylvester, 49, was the first person through the line. "Something is better than nothing," she said of her two bottles of water and pork rib meal. "I feel great to see the military here. I know I'm saved."

Cindy Sheehan exposed

Cindy Sheehan's Sinister Piffle
What's wrong with her Crawford protest.
By Christopher Hitchens
Posted Monday, Aug. 15, 2005, at 11:50 AM PT

Here is an unambivalent statement: "The moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute."

And, now, here's another:

Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation and this world were betrayed by George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agendas after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy … not for the real reason, because the Arab Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy.

Her knack for PR doesn't make her argument persuasive

The first statement comes from Maureen Dowd, in her New York Times column of Aug. 10. The second statement comes from Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq last year. It was sent to the editors of ABC's Nightline on March 15. In her article, Dowd was arguing that Sheehan's moral authority was absolute.

I am at a complete loss to see how these two positions can be made compatible. Sheehan has obviously taken a short course in the Michael Moore/Ramsey Clark school of Iraq analysis and has not succeeded in making it one atom more elegant or persuasive. I dare say that her "moral authority" to do this is indeed absolute, if we agree for a moment on the weird idea that moral authority is required to adopt overtly political positions, but then so is my "moral" right to say that she is spouting sinister piffle. Suppose I had lost a child in this war. Would any of my critics say that this gave me any extra authority? I certainly would not ask or expect them to do so. Why, then, should anyone grant them such a privilege?

Sheehan has met the president before and has favored us with two accounts of the meeting, one fairly warm and the other distinctly cold. I have no means of knowing which mood reflected her real state of mind, but she now thinks she is owed another session with him, presumably in order to tell him what she asserted to the Nightline team. In pursuit of this, she has set up camp near Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, and announced that she will not leave until she gets some more face-time with our chief executive. This qualifies her to be described by Dowd as "a 48-year-old Californian with a knack for P.R." Well, I think I have to concede that if Dowd says you have a knack for PR, you have acquired one even if you didn't have one before. (I am not entirely certain, for example, that the above letter to ABC News would count as a delicate illustration of the said "knack.")

The president has compromised by sending his national-security adviser, Stephen Hadley, down that Crawford road to meet the PR-knackish Cindy. Not good enough, exclaims Dowd. Hadley was pro-war and has even been described as a neocon! Clearly, then, the Sheehan demand is liable to expand the more it is met. President Bush must either find a senior staff member who opposes the war and then send him or her down the track to see if that will do. Or else he must, like the Emperor Henry of old, stage his own Canossa and attend on her himself, abject apologies at the ready. After all, we mustn't forget that we are dealing—as was that emperor in his dispute with Pope Gregory—with "an absolute moral authority."

What dreary sentimental nonsense this all is, and how much space has been wasted on it. Most irritating is the snide idea that the president is "on vacation" and thus idly ignoring his suffering subjects, when the truth is that the members of the media—not known for their immunity to the charm of Martha's Vineyard or Cape Cod in the month of August—are themselves lazing away the season with a soft-centered nonstory that practically, as we like to say in the trade, "writes itself." Anyway, Sheehan now says that if need be she will "follow" the president "to Washington," so I don't think the holiday sneer has much life left in it.

There are, in fact, some principles involved here. Any citizen has the right to petition the president for redress of grievance, or for that matter to insult him to his face. But the potential number of such people is very large, and you don't have the right to cut in line by having so much free time that you can set up camp near his drive. Then there is the question of civilian control over the military, which is an authority that one could indeed say should be absolute. The military and its relatives have no extra claim on the chief executive's ear. Indeed, it might be said that they have less claim than the rest of us, since they have voluntarily sworn an oath to obey and carry out orders. Most presidents in time of war have made an exception in the case of the bereaved—Lincoln's letter to the mother of two dead Union soldiers (at the time, it was thought that she had lost five sons) is a famous instance—but the job there is one of comfort and reassurance, and this has already been discharged in the Sheehan case. If that stricken mother had been given an audience and had risen up to say that Lincoln had broken his past election pledges and sought a wider and more violent war with the Confederacy, his aides would have been quite right to show her the door and to tell her that she was out of order.

Finally, I think one must deny to anyone the right to ventriloquize the dead. Casey Sheehan joined up as a responsible adult volunteer. Are we so sure that he would have wanted to see his mother acquiring "a knack for P.R." and announcing that he was killed in a war for a Jewish cabal? (a claim that has brought David Duke flying to Ms. Sheehan's side.) This is just as objectionable, on logical as well as moral grounds, as the old pro-war argument that the dead "must not have died in vain." I distrust anyone who claims to speak for the fallen, and I distrust even more the hysterical noncombatants who exploit the grief of those who have to bury them.

Ohio: Teen Sex Capitol/Pro and Anti Bush-ers clash in Crawford

2005-08-23T17:56:00.000-07:00

CANTON, Ohio -- There are 490 female students at Timken High School, and 65 are pregnant, according to a recent report in the Canton Repository.
The article reported that some would say that movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents and lax discipline may all be to blame.
School officials are not sure what has caused so many pregnancies, but in response to them, the school is launching a three-prong educational program to address pregnancy, prevention and parenting.
The newspaper also reported that students will face mounting tensions created by unplanned child-rearing responsibilities, causing students to quit school and plan for a GED. This will make it difficult for the Canton City School District to shake its academic watch designation by the state.
According to the Canton Health Department, statistics through July show that 104 of the 586 babies born to Canton residents in Aultman Hospital and Mercy Medical Center had mothers between 11 and 19.
The newspaper reports that the non-Canton rate was 7 percent. Canton was 15 percent.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

Supporters of President Bush clashed with anti-war activists as they wound their way through California after rallying in the hometown of Cindy Sheehan, the mother who started a protest camp outside Bush's Texas ranch.

Conservative activists and military families embarked on the tour Monday, calling it "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" A verbal confrontation erupted when the caravan arrived in Sacramento and was met by anti-war protesters chanting for Bush to bring home the troops.

Sheehan supporter Dan Elliott, 71, confronted caravan members by waving a sign reading "Death is not support" and heckling one of the tour's organizers as she addressed the crowd.

"You are ruining the morale over there," responded Greg Parkinson, a Bush supporter.

Sheehan began her protest vigil Aug. 6 on the road leading to Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, an act that has encouraged anti-war activists to join her and prompted peace vigils nationwide. Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq.

The pro-Bush caravan planned rallies in several California cities before heading to Crawford, where Sheehan opponents have formed their own camp.

"It's time to lay down the anger. We need to continue to uphold those people over there, to uphold those men and women with their boots on the ground," said Deborah Johns of the Northern California Marine Moms, who helped organize the caravan and addressed supporters outside the Vacaville Reporter newspaper in Sheehan's hometown.

Some caravan members called the anti-war protesters communists and said they were "aiding and abetting the enemy." Those comments enraged Sheehan supporter Dee Ann Heath, who said she has two sons serving in Iraq and another preparing to leave.

"I don't support the war, but I support my sons," she said. "I simply want them to come home."

In Vacaville, Toni Colip, 50, said her son, David, went to high school with Casey Sheehan and is now in the Army, although not in Iraq. Colip said her son opposes Cindy Sheehan's activities and has asked her to support his military service even if he is injured or killed.

"He said, 'Don't dishonor me; don't walk on my grave,'" Colip said.

Sheehan vowed to remain in Texas until Bush agreed to meet with her or until his monthlong vacation ended Sept. 3, but she flew to Los Angeles last week after her 74-year-old mother had a stroke. She is expected to return to Texas in a few days.

On Monday, Bush was in Salt Lake City, where he spoke to a national veterans group to rally support for the war. Bush has said he sympathizes with Sheehan, but a White House spokeswoman said he did not plan to change his schedule and meet with her. She and other families met with Bush about two months after Casey died, before she became a vocal opponent of the war.

Protest Warrior

2005-08-21T11:16:00.000-07:00

About 10 PWs showed up to protest the continued anti-war chants of the Left. This event, however, had a little different twist with a candle light vigil in support of Cindy Sheehan. Mrs. Sheehan, of course, is the woman who lost her son, Casey, last year in Iraq. She has made National headlines by camping out near President Bush's ranch demanding a second meeting with him.

The crowd at the Lake St/Marshall Avenue Bridge featured about 700 anti-war kooks, lead by Women Against Military Madness (WAMM). The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported 1,000-1,200 folks showed up. Apparently the Star Trib was using the "Million Mom March" calculator.

No matter, since Truth always triumphs!

One of the highlights of the evening was when we were gathering to march toward the bridge. A middle-aged man saw our arsenal of signs and asked if he could carry one. We obliged, and he picked out one he thought was an absolute winner: SAY NO TO WAR....unless a Democrat is President. He stood with us for about 45 minutes until one of his Lefty cohorts spotted him. The lady inquired why this man was standing with “Counter Protestors”. He then read the sign a little more carefully, thought for a few seconds, and then dropped it and walked away in disgust. What does that say? He really does believe war is OK when a Democrat is in the White House!!

While we were not there to take issue with Cindy Sheehan, we were certainly repulsed and outraged at the shameful exploitation displayed by Moveon.org, the organizers of this protest. We were there, however, to honor Casey Sheehan and others like him who paid the ultimate price to preserve Liberty.

God Bless our troops!!

Solving the Race Crisis

2005-08-17T11:59:00.000-07:00

Multi-culti-ism, race mixing, and "diversity" are taking their toll on America. What does the future hold for White America? Read on:

From the Council of Conservative Citizens

Ending the Race Crisis in the 21st Century

by James Owens

America in year 2000 has emerged as the sole superpower of the world. This may change in the next century. America's Euro-white historical race identity and its unique tradition of self-reliant freedoms, which created our national strength, are now being torn out at the roots: America is rapidly plunging into central-control statism and a mainly nonwhite nation. Our still-strong economy and welfare benefits attract the world's poor or oppressed as never before, millions immigrating annually - mainly from non-white lands. With federal laws firmly enforcing racial integration, America's races mix workably with each other's conflicting cultures. Or so it seems as portrayed in Government propaganda and the liberal media such as TV's cleverly-crafted programs exuding harmonious race mixing. This rich racial diversity is today unquestioned Government dogma.

But beneath America's complacent veneer are raw realities: out-of-control non-white immigration, rising racial friction, rampant black and Latino gang crime, violent and dumbed-down schools, unwed welfare mothers, widespread social dysfunctions and an ever-mushrooming national debt. Much of this is studiously kept unreported in the major media. For example, a rare attack by a deranged "white supremacist" is dramatized for many hours on TV (reinforcing white "racist" shame); but unreported are Justice Department statistics proving black-on-white violence 50 times more frequent than white-on-black. Unwed mothers, living in promiscuity and on Government welfare, are portrayed as "disadvantaged" rather than a moral scandal. Our bankrupting national debt of $5 trillion pays for social disorders such as gun violence in schools and illegitimacy that didn't even exist a few decades ago.1 Skillfully indoctrinated by ceaseless media slant, the public is deluged with and absorbs massive misinformation. Driven by misinformation and Government-enforced racial integration, Euro-whites are rapidly surrendering their country to alien cultures.

The U.S. race crisis will explode — or somehow be defused — in the 21st century. Examined here are our current racial conditions and probable scenarios to evolve in the next century.

The Race Crisis of 2000

All major American cities were white in the 1950s. Today most are mainly non-white. Eastern and central cities such as Baltimore, Detroit and Washington are predominantly black, run by black mayors and officials. The Washington, D.C. area, mainly black, includes also 600,000 Hispanics and Asians along with 300,000 Islamic Muslims - and has the look-and-feel of a foreign capital. A white, in line at a bank or store, hears mainly foreign languages spoken among clerks and customers; he, not they, feels like the foreigner. Entire regions of the southwest, especially California, are mainly Hispanic. So also is Spanish-speaking Miami. Many cities are forced into bilingual, Babel-like and often error-prone communications.

Despite Government mandating of racial integration and school bussing of exhausted children to enforce it, white flight from non-white areas keeps on accelerating. Most whites yearn to live with their own kind and culture in white neighborhoods and schools. They dare not say so openly for fear of being branded "racist," thus jeopardizing careers in a punishing regulatory web where even renting only to tenants of one's choice violates anti-discrimination "fair housing" laws. So do all questions about the racial makeup of a neighborhood when house-hunting (mere mention of such is taboo, so many whites just do "drive by" surveying secretively, and often, before buying). Thus whites quietly abandon the cities and the uncomfortable maze of third- world languages, customs, rap music, alien cultures and the anxiety of kaleidoscopic multiculturalism. Increasingly even the suburbs of many cities are now non-white (such as Prince Georges county adjacent to Washington D.C.). As whites are driven away into ever more remote suburbs, racial friction in cities like Los Angeles is now mainly non-white, a four-way conflict, often of bloody violence, among blacks, Hispanics, Asians and non-white immigrants (especially new illegals).

"Deconstructing" Western Tradition

The Euro-white tradition of values, customs and culture that built America (the "dead white men") is routinely denounced and "deconstructed" in public schools and universities. This is textbook cultural Marxism: first revolution, to smash traditional ideology; then replace it with egalitarian (socialist) statism.2 History is revised to shame the "white oppressor." Designedly ignored is the historical reality that all races have sinned equally as oppressors in distant history but whites were the first to abolish slavery. Ironically, while any hint of "hate speech" against minorities is prosecuted vigorously, the book-length Hating Whitey documents widespread anti-white speech by professors in class openly smearing whites as "the scourge of mankind." All "racism" is evil — unless it's anti-white.

Hollywood churns out cascades of high-imagery movies demonizing white oppressors, dramatizing the plight of non-whites and extolling their peaceful cultures. TV "histories" such as "Roots" (grossly falsified) and equally emotional programs daily shape the public mind, especially the naive young. Floods of prime time TV and commercials subtly portray a flawless balance of races by quota, all merged happily in playgrounds, parties or homes. As a humorous example, Roger McGrath, history consultant for TV's Pony Express series "The Young Riders," recounts in his satirical Chronicles article (March 1999) how historical accuracy about the all-white Pony Express was discarded; it comes to the screen with a saintly all-perfect black rider, Noah, along with Mexican heroes, these in marked contrast with some avaricious or downright mean whites. Such vivid white-bashing and race-mixing images are crammed into American brains ceaselessly and reshape attitudes. But the more fundamental assaults against Western culture &e led by the public school teachers' unions and most universities' departments of English, Literature, History, Philosophy and the Social Sciences.

Race-mixed Nations: Path to Collapse

As succinctly demonstrated in the book-length Demographic Struggle for Power, "demography is. destiny." Ethnic and racial identity — and the urge to preserve it — have endured throughout history as the central fact of human nature and among the most powerful forces on Earth.3 When the glue of a unifying racial and cultural identity is lost, a nation collapses into a chaotic collection of conflicting tribal breeds and cultures. Such clashing of races and cultures is inherently destabilizing, always ending in a nation's collapse. Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is the epic example of demographic conquest by shortsighted policies of importing foreigners for cheap labor and mercenary armies. Historians of the future will marvel at America's mindless policy shifts of the 1960s, its reckless social experimenting, ignorant of irreversible consequences. Nothing ranks as more surely Euro-white suicide than whites' tolerance of non-white immigration.

A Nation of Non-white Immigrants

The anti-white immigration law of 1965, spawned amid that decade's race riots, psychedelic drugs and chaotic anarchy, launched a flood of non-whites into America. Euro-whites, who were the majority 90% of the U.S. population in 1950, will in 2050 be only 50% of the population. From 2000 to 2050, based on Census Bureau statistics, 90% of U.S. population growth will be non-whites.4

Over the past thirty years, immigration (mainly non-white) sky-rocketed into unprecedented numbers and rates. Since 1990, levels of immigration are quadruple pre-1970 rates. Compared to traditional rates of 200,000 per year (mainly Euro-white and rapidly assimilated into American culture), today's immigration into the U.S. averages over 1 million every year, 35 million since 1970. Mainly non-white and contemptuous of assimilation, many new immigrants expand their own alien cultures, languages and religions throughout America while exploiting its full range of welfare housing, Medicaid, food stamps and other benefits. Their attitude is clearly not to adopt American culture or language but instead that America assimilate to theirs.5

"Chain migration" provides the basic tactic for U.S. citizenship: naive laws declare anyone born in the U.S. a citizen, including infants of mothers sneaking into America just before birthing - and automatically grant citizenship to the mother after the birth. Immigrants then exploit rights to import most of their relatives (who then import theirs).

Most have instant claim to the broad range of entitlement welfare support.

Add also the waves of illegal aliens. Each year 275,000 (border-control officials estimate it closer to 1 million) sneak into the U.S., buy forged documentation and settle permanently, a current total of 5.7 million now residing in the U.S. Illegal aliens claim rights to and routinely acquire welfare and public services such as enrollment in public schools and free medical care.

The simplistic solution, championed by many conservatives, is just to revise immigration laws and enforce border control, aiming at zero-immigration. That minimum remedy should be begun but won't halt the inevitable non-white tide. Because it's already here; 25 million blacks and 31 million Hispanics and other non-white immigrants are now in America as of 1999 — and multiplying at twice the rate of Euro-whites. As bizarre irony, white career women avoid marriage or pregnancies to compete in the job market while paying tax money for welfare support of high-birth-rate non-whites. The demographic math is plainly undeniable: after several generations of exponential growth, even with zero immigration (this itself unrealistic), non-whites and their alien cultures will become the overwhelming majority in America.

Thus, focusing here upon the goal of Euro-white preservation in America; we must examine other options for realistic solutions. These will probably play out in the 21st century as one, or some combination of, the following four scenarios (the first simply abandoning any serious effort for any solution at all): (1) Unresisting acquiescence to nonwhite dominance; (2) Whites' take-back of their country; (3) Secession of states from the U.S.; and (4) Racial separatism within the current U.S. Republic.6

Scenario 1 - Acquiescence and Surrender

Scenario 1 (whites' acceptance of a non-white America) is the most probable future because it is already the officially enforced and unquestioned orthodoxy of the nation. Despite talk-show skirmishing over minor degrees of social spending, taxes and racial policy, the Republican party today is a carbon copy of the Democratic party. Both fully endorse the core concept of racial integration along with the big-government welfare state to support it. No Republican or Democrat dares question this now-established doctrine. Both alike condemn as "racist" any white resistance to this four-decade-old dogma. Liberal Democrats have always championed non-white immigration broaden their base; Republicans now copy-cat the same tactics (candidate G.W. Bush blatantly courting the Hispanic vote). Politicians have long since ceased being constitutional statesmen; they cling ever to their own foremost priority, reelection by any means including non-white voting blocs — no matter the long-range consequences for their country.7

Euro-white Apathy

Strangely, or eerily, Euro-whites don't resist this sure path to their own racial extinction, accepting it meekly without a whimper. Indeed, many champion the racial integration policies which guarantee their own demise. Why such apathy when facing one's own racial suicide? First of all, such a fate seems remote, abstract, affecting only unborn far-future grandchildren. Secondly, massive white-fight still protects their own all-white suburban lives and cultural identity. A head-in-the-sand blot-out of remote futures is safe insulation from far-away consequences. Secluded in all-white suburbia for the present, whites can bask in self-righteous atonement for long-ago slavery and noble advocacy of non-white advances - but at a comfortable (or hypocritical) distance. Third is the daily media propaganda of white evil. Naively buying into misinformation and shamed as "oppressors," whites atone with self-sacrificing "Christian" altruism, voting with kind heart and altruistic sentimentality for every non-white agenda (immigration, minority rights, welfare, integration). Historians of the future will dub it the "great white folly" of the 21st century.

In one word, "altruism" is the Euro-white "Achilles heel" - its fatal "hamartia."8 The warm heart blinds the cool head. America's original "age of reason" slides into our new "age of sentimentality." Among the contributing factors are a soft "feminizing" of America, wild excesses of new "constitutional rights" and high-tech media indoctrination. For a half century people have been absorbing their information from daily floods of sensation-rich TV images and slogans instead of books and in-depth thought. Feeling and emotion overpower intellect and thinking. In an image-mad media world, logic is smothered, slogans replace substance. The ironic result: whites, only 8% of the world's population and shrinking, let their altruism run wild in helping non-white races overwhelm their own everywhere. (In 1920, whites were 35% of world population!)

The apathy of many Euro-whites is merely daily rat-race busyness, too distracted by demanding careers, earning a livelihood and paying unprecedented taxes to the welfare state. No time to analyze America's suicidal racial transformation. And nightly TV, with its constant racial-diversity propaganda, lulls them into comfortable acquiescence.

A final reason for white apathy; appeasement to angry non-white activists seems a slight price for peace and security. Many remember and fear the enraged race rioting of blacks in the 1960s1 burning entire areas of major cities including the downtown heart of the U.S. capital. And, recently, a black activist to a non-white crowd with open arrogance: "Remember, soon there'll be more of us than them;" and California Hispanic leader Mario Obledo: "California will be a Hispanic state, anyone who doesn't like it should leave;" and, at the university brainwashing level, Harvard lecturer and white-liberal Noel Ignatiev widely urging (as in Insight, November 1999) the need to "abolish the white race by any means necessary."

Although Euro-whites are still America's majority race in the year 2000 and could reverse the suicidal trend if they chose to (see Scenarios 2, 3 and 4 below), they probably won't. Or wake up from apathy to their altruistic blunder much too late. By mid-century, two generations of Euro-white young will be fully indoctrinated into Government centralized power and racial dogma. If Euro-whites fail to awaken in time to change the nation's course, the following details of Scenario 1 are logical and readily anticipated projections deep into the next century.

"Big Brother" and Compassionate Martial Law

Well before 2050 the gradual reinterpretation and deconstruction of the Constitution will be completed, totally opposite its original meaning and principles. Centralized Government power and cultural Marxism will be firmly in control of every state, community and individual in America. Court rulings and presidential Executive Orders (EOs), already in 2000 authorizing martial law in Government-defined emergencies, will proliferate into a police-state web. The crime waves, school shootings, terrorist bombings, racial tensions and drug trafficking, rampant in the 1990s, provide the pretense for accelerated Government police operations - and the usual tax hikes to finance them. For efficient law enforcement and its central coordination, the U.S. armed services will expand to control, then later replace, civilian police nationwide. This de facto repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 (amplifying the 4th Amendment to protect citizens from federal armed might) began in the late 1980s, then accelerated by presidential EOs into a U.S. "protective" police state.9

Federal data bases, especially at the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), will record every detail of private lives, all subject to Government scrutiny as federal protection of the people requires. Federal agents, powered with high-technology electronics and satellites, will routinely monitor e-mail and Web sites, search homes and businesses for evidence of criminal or seditious activity (as defined by Government), especially computer hard disks. The "Human Genome" project, completed in early century, will soon fill government files with the complete genetic DNA code of all citizens, linked to their social security numbers, IRS and FBI files. Encryption in all private communication is outlawed. Tiny video cameras monitor everyone in offices, factories, agencies and targeted private homes suspected of criminal or seditious activity. As dramatized in the Orwellian world of 1984, suspects include everybody.

The creepy feeling of being watched fades into an accepted way of life. The evolution of the nation into benign statism is so gradual, by so small and seemingly do-good increments, that it's scarcely noticed. People slowly "get used to" the harmless trade-off of personal freedoms for universal Government security and protection. Few even recognize the radical transformation unfolding; then everyone is inadvertently a part of it. In this crawling and novel form of statism, chipping away slowly at liberties (best termed "totalitarian democracy" as voters support a "Big Brother" savior), early group-think mind training of the young in Government schools embeds a trusting love for the all-caring, paternalistic "Uncle Sam, protector of the people."10

With private ownership of firearms long ago outlawed and prompt prosecution of "enemies of the state" routine, crime rates will decrease sharply as will all other dangerous behavior, especially political dissent. Government-controlled media and propaganda in schools condition the public to accept regimentation as protection against crime and sedition.

But Government never ignores the need of people, even if not truly free, to at least feel free. Thus superficial but satisfying illusions of freedom and choice satiate this need in well-stocked malls, food stores, welfare perks and non-stop escapist entertainment, especially high-hyped TV sports specials and musical extravaganzas. Even long-entrenched sexual freedoms since the 1990s are tolerated in a wide variety of "alternative lifestyles" (a citizen's preoccupation with his pornography, fetishes or a "gay" marriage is no threat to core Government doctrine and a convenient distraction from its central goals). However, genuine and core freedoms, such as political dissent, can not be tolerated. All such are incompatible with a safe and stable nation - and are ended. Especially freedom of speech.

Freedom of Speech Muted

"Hate-crime" laws of the 1990s expand into "hate-speech" laws punishing all "politically incorrect" criticism of core Government policies, especially its civil-rights and racial-integration dogmas. "Racist," defined by federal laws, broadens to include any reference to "white rights" of any sort or resistance to anti-discrimination norms (for example, a white father discouraging white-black dating is instantly a racist suspect; so is his daughter for declining the date). The many traditional groups of the 1990s, arguing for fair pro-white solutions such as peaceable separation of the races, will be harshly equated with "white supremacists" and similarly criminalized. The more vocal and leading dissidents will be assigned by Government doctors to psychiatric wards for rehabilitation as "mental health victims" (a benign version of the former USSR's Gulag). Any talking or speech perceived by Government as "racist," even in one's own home, is outlawed. Such speech became criminalized in Britain and parts of Europe as far back as the 1990s.11

Freedom of speech and thought will disappear into a public atmosphere more sophisticated but identical in effect to the 17th-century Salem witch hunts when fear of prohibited words or associations silenced everyone into doctrinal uniformity. No one dared speak up to defend an accused witch (fearful of being branded a witch himself). In 21st-century America, no one will defend anyone branded a "racist" for fear he will be so branded himself and lose his career — or worse. School children will routinely be coaxed in "patriotism" sessions to report any "un-American" talk heard at home (children in Salem often indicted their own parents by merely and grimly pointing at them). In a labyrinthine web of surveillance and intimidation, countless civil-rights compliance units will monitor all citizens and organizations to detect and purge any political deviance.

Government as Parent and Teacher

Early in the next century most parents and adults, male and female, will be full-time in the workforce. This becomes Government policy aimed at national economic strength, enhanced tax revenue and generously subsidized prosperity for citizens. A nationwide federal system of day-care centers and K-12 schools fills the parenting void, training the young in "political correctness" and the skills needed for the economy. Behavior modification methods and mental-health screening, initiated in the 1990s, insure orthodox thinking.12 Home schooling, soaring exponentially about 2005, is banned as disguised teaching of early-age discrimination, meritocracy and racial inequality. Private schools disappear except for a select few Government-approved and closely monitored.

The original right to equal opportunity for academic or economic success and social status is converted into the right to actual egalitarian outcome (equality of results, all citizens provided equal standards of living in a non-discriminating society). Government civil-rights policy continues to be reinforced lifelong by mandatory diversity and sensitivity training courses in all work places.

Many Hues of Brown

The most drastic transformation of America in Scenario I is its population. By century's end, America will be a non-white nation, Euro-whites relatively few — or none.

America in the 1950s was 90% Euro-white. Demographic experts agree on the following projections and future look of America. In 2025 62% will be Euro-white, 38% non-white. Of non-whites, Hispanics (18% of the U.S.) with high immigration and birth rates will outpace blacks (13%) and Asians (6%). By 2050 whites will fade to about 50% of the population. At century's end the process of racial reversal will be completed, the U.S. a fully non-white nation. 13

By subtle indoctrination (such as black-boy-white-girl intimacies increasingly woven into TV sit-corns and constant commercials), interracial marriage and partnerships will become the norm. Whites discard the age-old natural instinct to marry within one's own race and the desire to have children that look like themselves. Most children will be neither black nor white but, as in Brazil hundreds of shades of brown. Commenting on the mishmash of languages and third-world cultures in the border states, Rep. Reyes (D-TX) says "if people want to see what the country is eventually going to look like, they should come to the border." The same is true today of fully multiracial areas like New York City and Washington, D.C.14

Even today, throughout mainstream America, a common sight in stores and malls is white mothers with their brown children; in 1999 10% of blacks were married to non-blacks; 30% of Hispanics and Asians marry outside their race or ethnic group. As every non-white marriage to a white produces brown and genetically altered offspring, the Euro-white gene pool will disappear in America. It will vanish worldwide as well. Today, whites are only 8% of Earth's population, non-whites an overwhelming 92%. With race-mixing patterns normalized worldwide, the white gene pool will continue to disappear — or become entirely extinct.15

Scenario 2- Euro-whites Take Back Their Country

The first, and most probable, scenario projects a new non-white U.S. with little or no resistance by Euro-whites to the eventual phasing-out of their race and culture. But many whites do resist it vehemently and the three strategies of their resistance become Scenarios 2 3 and 4. (Major space in this article has been devoted to Scenario 1 since it can be projected from current trends already firmly in place. The last three scenarios, as sharp changes in course, can be outlined only as general but definite directions.)

Scenario 2, the "take-back' strategy, envisions an abrupt wake-up of Euro-whites to their grim future, especially their grandchildren's in a non-white America. As the extremes of Scenario I unfold (as above), the stark reality of U.S. statism and non-white proliferation is finally unmasked as ominous and intolerable. The silent white majority becomes shocked into awareness, then acutely awake, alarmed, vocal, galvanized into action.

The pro-white movement is spearheaded by a persistent but loose coalition of conservative groups ranging from moderate political activists and theoretical think tanks to the overt hostility of white supremacists and militias. There were over 500 of these groups in 1999 which by early century expand into the nucleus of a viable third political party. 16 A turning point in its surge to power is the growing number of white millionaires aiming their donations toward the critical mission of white preservation in America. Amply financed, the groups suppress their differences and organize into the fast-growing "white preservation" party focused on a single goal: elevate and arouse white consciousness to action and restore the country to its original Euro-white dominance.

Euro-whites are not yet a marginalized minority as they will be in 2050. They still remain the majority, about 65% of the nation. They recognize also that blacks and Hispanics, with merely primitive achievements in their own lands, are dominating America only by white apathy permitting it. If aroused and the will to survive awakened, the white race that built the modern world and still sustains it has the genius of mind to overpower any predatory rival. White-advocacy messages, cascading into the media, enliven this once quiet majority of 200 million. Avalanches of media, TV, e-mail and Web-page information-campaigns sharply unravel the menacing subterfuge of Government tyranny and its race-doctrine propaganda. A short-lived Government crackdown, including the jailing of several high-profile white leaders, backfires. Now martyrs for white preservation, the crackdown tactics fill the media with free publicity. White apathy flares into zeal and mobilized action. White preservationists, first a controlling third-party swing-vote, rapidly become America's major political party.

Taboo in speech for decades, the non-white population excesses and cultures in America are broadcast and challenged openly. So are the core civil-rights doctrines of racial integration and anti-discrimination. The major media, once extolling the glories of multiculturalism, now expose its evils. Intelligence (IQ) differences among the races are fully publicized along with alien cultural patterns such as illegitimacy, vulgar "rap" music, street gangs and primitive third-world languages. No longer hidden from the public eye are alarming crime statistics of the Justice Department (33% of African-American men in their twenties are in prison, jail, on probation or parole). Especially driven into the white-public mind is the sinister aim of race-mixing, the meltdown of the white gene pool and its extinction. In sharp contrast to primitive African and Hispanic histories, all media, especially TV documentaries and biographies, reeducate the public mind about the long ignored genius of Euro-white civilization - from Homer, Aristotle, Plato and Cicero to Galileo, Newton, Locke, Einstein and thousands of others in the arts, literature and science. Euro-whites are awakened to the irony of abandoning their uniquely rich tradition and replacing it with primitive, third-world cultures.

The white backlash unfolds in powerful waves of political action. Not only against the mushrooming non-white population but even more so against the liberal-left superstate responsible for it. And against the IRS, the most enslaving money-gathering machine in history whereby one man's money earned is taken and given to another (a basic form of slavery). Streams of pro-white laws flow out of the preservationist majority in Congress and the state legislatures. Core Government policies and institutions, almost a century old, including the IRS, are systematically reversed.

The pro-white party becomes fully dominant by mid-century. The 10th Amendment sovereignty of the states is restored as the federal government is scaled back to its original minimum functions such as national defense. Civil-rights laws of the past century are repealed. Non-white immigration is halted and all illegal aliens deported while immigration of professional and skilled Europeans is promoted. A major deployment of the Army becomes zero-immigration control of the Mexican border.

While non-whites remain tolerated and retain all protections of the law, often migrating into their more comfortable cultural areas, whites take back and control the power centers of government, industry, the media and the courts.

As Euro-whites regain power, they are ever aware of its volatile risks. Their white preservationist campaign is inevitably confrontational, one race can only win through some loss by the others. As the white race regains dominance, non-whites must become submissive and accept minority status without hostility. Thus the new laws include ample non-white benefits to minimize resentment. For example, public food programs guarantee satisfying nutrition, laws require racially separate but equal schools. The white media and TV daily ingrain soothing perspective, contrasting the limited but far superior lifestyle of America's non-whites with their starving cousins in third-world wastelands. A delicate balance is forever fine-tuned to sustain Euro-white dominance while avoiding repression of the non-white minorities — or their rebellion.

Civil War?

A grim, but possible, variation of Scenario 2 is the breakup of the U.S. in a gigantic civil war among the American races. As pro-white backlash reclaims the country, nonwhites refuse to accept their reduced status. They bitterly resent the repeal of civil rights, loss of affirmative action and federal supports. They are a minority, but a huge one-third of the population, including 40 million blacks and 50 million Hispanics increasingly resentful of the 200 million whites. The white vision of delicately balancing white dominance with non-white submission is scorned - and collapses. Congress sinks into a powerless arena of racial outbursts and denunciations. As danger-signs mount, citizens of every race stockpile guns, survival-supplies and home-security systems. Clashes over race issues and incidents mount, all dramatized by TV media clutching for viewer market share. Tensions boil into raw anger, then open violence and race war.

Race riots, like the localized outbreaks of the 1960s, intensify into bloody city-wide conquests, then occupation of entire regions by a dominant race. California, for example, quickly becomes an Hispanic stronghold. Most cities remain black as whites flee for safety to far-out suburbs. Complex military and administrative functions of the federal government are paralyzed into confusion and inaction as multiracial personnel choose sides, crash computers, disrupt command centers, disable infrastructure systems and deluge the nation's decision-makers with disinformation. No one can predict the outcome - except a bloody race war of unimaginable scope in deaths and structural ruins, followed by a massive breakup of the former U.S. into new nations - provided no opportunistic foreign powers exploit the shattered U.S. lands to win territory for themselves.17

The Civil-War-Two scenario is a desperate extreme for all the American races and must (hopefully) be rated as unlikely. But, as historians warn convincingly, every multiracial empire in history ultimately collapsed, usually in bloody conflict. The specter of a similar fate for the U.S. should mobilize public removal of its root cause, racial mixing (which become Scenarios 3 and/or 4).

Scenario 3 - States Secede from the U.S.

A Euro-white attitude totally different from Scenario 2 drives the last two scenarios: racial separatism instead of supremacism. But the prelude to the separatist scenarios is the same. Early in the 21st century overwhelming non-white expansion awakens Euro-whites to danger and provokes their harsh backlash. However, wise realists recognize it's much too late for whites (or any single race) to "take back" "their" country. With populations of each race now massive and mighty (100 million non-whites and 200 million whites), the totally destabilizing political strife would be as suicidal as an unthinkable Civil War Two. Thus, with all the races on a fatal collision course, the solution of separatism as a core policy becomes the mutually beneficial doctrine. Let's not fight a hopeless "win-lose" war, winner take all - or only ruins. Instead, a "win-win" course. Let the races separate peaceably, migrating into different areas of America.

One, of many, ways this evolves would be in the northwest. Many leaders in these mainly white states mobilize to preserve their white race and culture. They develop a complex, but feasible, plan to secede from the U.S., declare their independence and form a new nation. 18 The plan includes northern California (the southwest is already de facto Hispanic). These states combined contain an enterprising population and economic power superior to many nations of Europe. Despite intimidating threats by the federal giant, the secession plan unfolds, the northwest secedes and soon becomes recognized as an independent nation.

The U.S. dares not crush or impede the new nation in an age dominated by U.N. and its own U.S. precedents sanctifying human rights, especially self-determination and free independence of ethnic peoples. Unlike the 1860s, when Lincoln's imperialism defied the Constitution and smashed Southern independence, self-determination is the sacred principle of the 21st century. For many decades the U.N. and the U.S. have supported the basic human right of distinct peoples to achieve their own self-determined independence and freedom. Landmark examples began in the 1990s in areas such as the former U.S.S.R., Kosovo, Chechnya, Bosnia, Quebec, E. Timor and Hawaii's independence movement. The legal and moral legitimacy of secession as a political right originated with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Now it is established as worldwide doctrine; no regime would dare try to violate it (its leaders would be indictable by the U.N. war-crimes tribunal).19

Soon after the formation of the white nation, the entire southwest of the U.S. forms a new nation of Spanish-speaking Americans declaring its independence. Blacks and Asians carve out similar territories as their own. Each race and nation, powered by first-rate minds trained for generations in U.S. colleges, manages its own institutions, develops effective executives and builds prosperous economies of its own. As each new nation establishes strict immigration controls and policies favoring its own race, the young of each race gradually for decades migrate to the nation of their own kind with its enhanced practical opportunities for maximum prosperity and familiar relationships with their own people. The old and resistant, misplaced but reluctant to migrate, just die away with no effect on the general immigration patterns of the young.

Freed from the labyrinthine shackles of U.S. government regulations and its racial integration, each new nation surges forward in its own way with its own kind. "Racial diversity" was always a hollow myth in the multicultural U.S., all races melting into brown by interracial breeding; now diversity becomes real and permanent in the new nations. The new nations discourage or outlaw interracial breeding and enforce strict border controls; genuine diversity of the races, their gene pools and cultures prevail. For example, the Southwest nation makes Spanish its official language, most of its TV newscasters are Hispanic. It also chooses to become a frankly socialist welfare state. The white nation reinstates its original Constitution, reasserts freedom-of-association rights and capitalist self-reliance (moderated by antitrust laws), dismantles its welfare system and the income tax. The U.S., mainly east-coast states, remains a highly centralized and multicultural "rainbow" nation, basically similar to its 1990s.

Late in the century, separatism firmly established as national policy in all the new nations, each American race lives with mutual respect for the others, linked in cross-border economic cooperation, treaties, a common "dollar" currency and mutual defense which form a special "American Union" similar to Europe's. But finally the races live separate, now permitted to progress as truly distinct cultures, rescued from the racial meltdown and "Brazilianizing" of the U.S. 14,20

Scenario 4- Racial Separatism within the U.S.

As the Scenario-3 strategy for secession gains unstoppable momentum and develops into a detailed and "doable" practical plan, the serious threat of breakup of the historic U.S. creates a revolutionary sea change in U.S. politics. Old liberal allegiances unravel into massive rethinking of national policy options. Non-white and liberal-party leaders no longer doubt that Euro-whites are formidably mobilized and determined to protect their culture (by any means including secession). They change course sharply in search for realistic compromises to save the union - and their own prosperity, dependent upon Euro-white talent and support. For almost a decade, candid debate over the rights of the various American races and realistic compromises pervades Congress, state legislatures, university faculties, think tanks, business groups nationwide — and nonstop TV and radio talk shows.18 Seeking practical solutions that work, all sides abandon meaningless bumper-sticker slogans and "curse words" ("racist," "victims of slavery," "supremacism," "IQ superiority," "evils of discrimination" and the like). Euro-whites harbor no desires to dominate any race, only to live separate with their own kind and culture. They long ago purged their ranks of white supremacists bent upon domination, advocating instead peaceable separation of the races, each respecting the rights of the others. Responsible leaders of each race shed the self-defeating conflict of the past and now seek peaceful "win-win" cooperation toward a common-sense solution. Unlike the 1990s, when propaganda falsely equated "separatism" with "racist white supremacism," that critical distinction is now clarified, accepted and no longer distorted.

In the debates leading to Scenario 4, all sides adopt a spirit of genuine compromise. Euro-whites focus solely upon three imperatives: repeal all federal anti-discrimination laws, fully restore 10th Amendment powers to the states and slash federal spending (except for national defense and paying down the national debt), shifting tax revenue and spending options back to the states. Central federal control of local communities is to be abolished along with regulatory agencies such as the Department of Education, Housing and Urban Development and the like. Schools are to be run by the states and local communities. Private schools and Home schooling are to flourish. As major concessions, whites support the principle of equal Opportunity not outcome) for all, specifically separate but equal schools. New laws, while permitting all-white or all-black or all-Hispanic schools, require every state to provide equal funds per student of any race to all schools. So, similarly, for allocation of public funds for other public services such as neighborhood hospitals, playgrounds and transportation facilities. 21

The spirit of the nation returns to equality of opportunity, self-reliance and personal pride. Scaled down sharply are Government-controlled equal outcomes and welfare dependency. There are, to be sure, severe adjustment problems and growing pains for decades as power shifts from the federal government to the newly-sovereign states — and as people migrate into communities of their choice, earn their own niche and new race relations replace the old civil-rights bureaucracies.

But an entire structure of new laws emerges, states' powers and freedom of association are restored. Euro-whites and every race regain the right to form communities, neighborhoods, schools, private clubs and associations of their "own kind" (or mixed "rainbow" areas if they wish) without Orwellian charges of discrimination. Unlike the ultimate meltdown of the races into a single hybrid, the inevitable consequence of the old forced-integration folly, genuine racial diversity is now preserved in the diversified states and communities.

With the l0th Amendment fully revived and thriving as originally intended, the states become a multitude of "social laboratories," testing and fine-tuning a rich variety of community policies, laws and practices. Those which work in one state are imitated and modified to work in others. Those which don't are discarded. Never again does the U.S. collapse into a federal monolith enforcing unquestioned but wrongheaded and unworkable ideas throughout the entire nation. The U.S., newly resurrecting the profoundly wise principles etched into its founders' Constitution, evolves into an ever stronger and united Republic of locally governed states, each race free to prosper in its own way, with its own kind, by its own choice.

Conclusion

Hard, real-world examination of the four scenarios (or combinations of them) strips away quickly all illusions of simplistic solutions. Especially the details of each scenario, certain to be awkward, traumatic, transforming every individual, neighborhood, school and institution. Our daily lives will be profoundly altered - even our basic identities at our roots about "who" and "what" we are. Every one of the four scenarios inflicts transformations upon American life with disruptions and pain akin to the eight-year Revolutionary War of the 1770s or the long aftermath of the Civil War. But, no matter how shattering the impact, America's racial clash is unavoidable, bound to climax in the next century with vast rearrangements of its structure, populations, laws and culture. Racial tension has been smoldering in America for more than two centuries; its waiting explosion is far overdue, much like a volcano flaring warnings of its inevitable catastrophic eruption.

The nation's founders struggled with this multiracial dilemma two centuries ago, warning often that "this nation cannot exist both black and white." They attempted for fifty years to free and repatriate blacks back to their African homelands.22 Lincoln's desperate (and unconstitutional) civil war not only set the nation's course toward a federal superstate but, despite 600,000 dead, merely shifted the racial tension from one intolerable form of racial conflict to another. And so it has festered since, under political band-aids ever avoiding painful but full-cure surgery. For a hundred years the white majority continued to curb tensions by reluctant, incremental, then sweeping, concessions to non-whites. Unless whites mobilize to reverse current trends, the balance of power will soon become drastically inverted: non-whites finally the majority, in full control of the nation. In the 21st century, America will be transformed into a non-white nation. So will the once white nations of Europe.15

Band-aid temporizing and delays are now exhausted. Procrastinating a final settlement of our centuries-old racial dilemma is no longer possible. It will end, soon - one way or another. One, or a combination of the four scenarios, will happen in America's 21st century. The unalterable reality of history will prevail, that "race matters" - profoundly. Each race, by its inner nature, by eons of genetic and cultural formation, becomes deeply programmed at its roots to favor its own kind, to defend with primal force against all alien threats. Those with superior self-preservation traits, skills and pride of race endure; the weak die away.

The natural laws of history demonstrate that peace, stability and progress in any nation are possible only when one racial group absorbs the other (Scenario 1) - or dominates it (Scenario 2) - or they manage to peaceably separate from each other (Scenarios 3 or 4). These are the options. One will triumph in the next century.

The Euro-white race, with its unparalleled achievements of mind and innovation throughout history, still contains the unmatched capability to preserve its race and culture if the will for it can be revived. But, by pathological apathy and altruism, whites are fast abandoning that essential will. And, as all history proves, that is the ultimate determinant for survival — in war or peace.

If Euro-whites judge their ultimate extinction an evil outcome, as surely they should, then Edmund Burke's insight into the ultimate consequences of apathy is gravely apt: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Historic Gaza Pull Out Begins

2005-08-15T08:05:00.000-07:00

NEVE DEKALIM, Gaza Strip -- Israeli troops on Monday began handing out eviction notices to settlers of the Gaza Strip at the start of a historic withdrawal that will end its 38-year occupation of the coastal territory. Defiant settlers blocked the gates of their communities and vowed to prevent troops from delivering the notices.

In Nissanit, soldiers delivered the first eviction notice to a young couple who invited the soldiers into their home and offered a drink of water. Troops encountered no resistance in Nissanit, unlike in several other Gaza settlements.

In the largest settlement, Neve Dekalim, dozens of men wrapped in white prayer shawls held roadside morning prayers, while teens _ many sporting orange ribbons, the color of defiance _ danced in circles.

Troops fanned out across Jewish settlements to deliver the notices house to house. Settlers were to be told they have one last chance, until midnight Tuesday, to leave voluntarily. Those ignoring that final deadline will lose up to one-third of their compensation.

In Neve Dekalim and in several other settlements, though, there were few signs that residents would cooperate.

Dozens of Orthodox Jews held morning prayers outside Neve Dekalim's gate, hoping that divine intervention would somehow prevent the plan from going forward. "Who dares to do battle with God," read one protester's T-shirt. "Brother, don't expel me," said another.

Under the pullout plan, Israel will remove all 21 Jewish settlements from Gaza as well as four enclaves in the West Bank. While many of Gaza's 8,500 residents have already left, the army estimates that several thousand people remain, including extremists who infiltrated Gaza.

Settler leaders have promised to resist without resorting to violence, though security officials fear extremists might violate that pledge.

The withdrawal marks the first time Israel would dismantle settlements in areas captured in the 1967 Mideast War and claimed by the Palestinians for their future state. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon believes the withdrawal will improve Israeli security by reducing friction with the Palestinians.

"It's a painful and difficult day, but it's a historic day," Israel's defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, told Army Radio.

Anti war mom promises not to pay taxes/NARAL chief resigns

2005-08-14T11:13:00.000-07:00

This is rich.

Cindy Sheehan, whose son tragically died in Iraq in 2004, has now pledge to not pay taxes and calls for 'Israel out of Palestine'. Are you honestly going to tell me that politik is not at work here? Sheehan is now calling for Bush's impeachment and promises that if the IRS comes for her taxes, "we'll put this war on trial". I'm sure the ACLU would love to jump in on this one.

David E. Seldin, who worked as the NARAL Pro-Choice America's communications director, has resigned over the controversy from the Anti John Roberts ad NARAL ran recently. It's good to see he has some common sense. Right after the Thursday night annoucement that the ad was pulled, Seldin sent emails to his comrades and family, telling them that he "was leaving the job immediately".

Welcome to the Front

2005-08-13T22:53:00.000-07:00

August 13, 2005.

I know that, looking back, I will remember this date as the day I transfered my war with liberalism from the forums to the blog-o-sphere. I've been politically involved with the American culture war online since November 2003, starting out on an online forum called www.globalteen.net. Since the first time I logged on to etch my place among the Not So Silent Majority, I have come to realize the nature of the liberal beast. What we're dealing with is a political machine built on ideas. The Liberal Political Political (or War, as the case may be) Machine is built on noise. That's what they create; noise. They take the same ideologies and repackage them in wrapping. Communism in the 50s became the sexual liberation movement in the 60s. The sexual liberation movement in the 60s became the New Age movement of the 70s. The New Age movement of the 70s became the welfare stateism of the 80s. The welfare stateism of the 80s became the anti-globalization movement of the 90s. The anti-globalization of the 90s has become the pacifist movement of the 00s.

Many of these people have never had an original thought in their lives, constantly waiting to know what to think from the Big Three; the American Bashing Corporation (ABC), the Communist Broadcasting System (CBS), and Nothing But Crap (NBC). But those times are gone. On October 7, 1996 the first seeds of a media revolution were spread; the launching of the Fox News Corporation. By 2002, FOX became the most watched news channel in the nation. The first to break the news on Slick Willy's escapades was not the Old Guard, but Matt Drudge, of the drudgereport.com. Blogs are now one of the top three most used news sources in America.

What's next for the right side of the culture war? That remains to be seen. But as long as we stay on the right side of the United States & the Almighty Father, and remain true to the principles of conservatism, I promise it will not be dark.
