 NOW IT'S PARASITES-WITH-ATTORNEYS
 Here's your latest chapter on the FEMA threat to end the free ride for Katrina evacuees in hotels. Now it would seem that the evacuees have retained counsel. Yesterday attorneys were stepping up to demand that FEMA do nothing to end this comparative life-of-luxury for some displaced New Orleans residents. God forbid these people should actually leave their rooms to look for jobs so that they can take care of themselves.
OK ... now the "parasites-with-attorneys" bit is posted on the Nuze, and that makes it part of the Boortz lore. In the years to come "reporters" will quote that "parasites-with-attorneys" line to show that I am someone who should be ignored, if not reviled. But let's take a look at the definition of parasite from dictionary.com. "Parasite: One who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without making any useful return." Well, there you go! Could it be any more succinct? For many, not all --- but many of these evacuees living in these hotels has become a way of life. It doesn't matter whether it's tomorrow, next week, or two years from now, they will resist when the order comes for them to quit sponging off the American taxpayers and give self-sufficiency a try. TRY AGAIN, MR. PRESIDENT -- THOSE WERE EMPTY WORDS
 Yesterday, George W. Bush strode to a podium in Tucson, Arizona (I love Tucson!) and against a backdrop of law enforcement officers, announced his latest plan to crack down on illegal aliens. There was nothing in his speech we haven't heard before, and his new immigration policy is just as contradictory as the old one. Among the initiatives announced:
We should build more jail cells to hold illegal aliens. Good idea. The speeding up of deportations, a crackdown on fraudulent identity papers, and a hardening of the border with more surveillance. So far, so good. Then the nonsense started to flow. The president urged Congress to pass his guest-worker amnesty program and repeated the nonsense that the illegal aliens are here "to fill jobs that Americans will not do."
Same old, same old. It is impossible to stand there and say you're going to crack down on illegal immigration while at the same time say that you are going to reward people who broke our immigration laws. The president says it's not amnesty. Ok, now we've finally caught the president in a lie. OF COURSE it's amnesty! When you tell someone who has broken the law that you are not only going to ignore their illegal conduct, but you are actually going to reward them for it, then you have more than plain old garden variety amnesty, you have amnesty with perks!
As for the oft-repeated line that the illegal aliens fill jobs Americans won't, that's also a load. Companies may not be able to fill those jobs with Americans at the same low wages they pay Mexicans, but there are plenty of people in this country that would do the work at the right price. OK .. so the price of headless chickens, landscaping and construction might go up, but at least the people receiving those paychecks would be law-abiding residents of this country, most of whom would be citizens. There is something wrong with the idea of celebrating lower home prices when those lower prices are brought with disrespect for the laws of our country. It gets worse than that. We are threatening our very security by singing the praises of illegal aliens in our workforce. Just two weeks ago we were interviewing a Texas congressman who was telling us that U.S. intelligence agencies have knowledge that Al Qaeda terrorists have moved to Mexico, adopted Hispanic identities, learned the Spanish language, and then moved right into the United States across our porous borders. George Bush failed to address the problem appropriately yesterday, but this isn't strictly a George Bush issue. There is absolutely no willingness on the part of either political party to crack down on illegal immigration. There are simply too many votes to be had in the Hispanic community. So as a result, our security as a nation is threatened and our cities and states are overrun with illegal aliens.
I'm sure representatives of Al-Qaeda are preparing to apply for their guest-worker permits as we speak.
DUKE CUNNINGHAM
California Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham held a press conference yesterday and announced he would be resigning from Congress and he apologized for taking bribes from defense contractors. Apparently he thought nobody would notice his mansion, yacht and Rolls Royce on a $160,000 a year salary. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
He's facing a maximum of 10 years in the slammer with sentencing scheduled for February 27, but you can bet he'll do nowhere near that amount of time. He's obviously cut a deal and he'll get a reduced sentence. House Minority Leader and aging San Francisco hippie Nancy Pelosi immediately jumped all over the announcement, saying the whole thing "is just the latest example of the culture of corruption that pervades the Republican-controlled Congress, which ignores the needs of the American people to serve wealthy special interests and their cronies."
Oh really. Cunningham deserves to go straight to the slammer...but those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Are we supposed to believe there is no corruption on the other side of the aisle? Would Nancy Pelosi like for people to recount the Democratic scandals over the years? Just how many Clinton associates were convicted of corruption? What about the Clinton pardons? Do we need a refresher course on Whitewater and Casa Grande? How about James Traficant....the former Democratic congressman currently sitting in a prison cell for bribery, racketeering and tax evasion? There's plenty to go around.
And watch the media on this one. They will go out of their way to point out that Cunningham is a Republican, yet would bury the party affiliation were he a Democrat.
"See you in Tennessee" or something else? This woman should probably rethink this personalized plate. Sent in by Joe Crane.
MORE TED TURNER RANTS
Ted Turner is at it again. He took time out from flipping bison burgers the other day to regale us with his opinions on the war in Iraq. According to Ted, Iraq is not better off without Saddam Hussein. This should come as no surprise.
As we have since found out, Saddam Hussein was quite the buddy of CNN for a long time. The TV network that Ted started did their best to hide Saddam's atrocities in exchange for media access. With their sugar daddy sitting in prison, they no longer have the edge. But what has to be most depressing to Ted is that Iraqis are now living in freedom. They now have more clean water, electricity and schools than they did before the war. There have been elections. A Constitution has been drawn up. We have won the war.
I guess we should cut Ted a break.....he hasn't been this depressed since the Berlin wall fell and the Soviet Union broke up. Oh, and somebody should ask him if Iraqi women were better off being raped by the Fedayeen. Perhaps what Ted meant to say was that CNN was no better off now than it was when Saddam was in power. That might be quite a bit more accurate!

Too bad there aren't more Democrats in the Senate like Joe Lieberman. In this op-ed piece, he says we can't leave Iraq....because that would be abandoning 27 million Iraqis to 10,000 terrorists.
The Spanish weasels are selling military hardware to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, and the U.S. is threatening to block the deal. Time to put the screws on.
How about we put the Miami PD in charge of cracking down on illegal immigration. They're going to be staging surprise raids of hotels, banks and other places...looking for illegals.
The Liberal government in Canada has gotten the boot...elections will be held early next year. Looks like the conservative party could come to power. Imagine that!
The Poodle is up to his old tricks again. He's accusing the Speaker of the House of calling John Murtha a coward, which never took place.
London is gearing up to host the Olympics...and Mark Steyn explains to the city that they'll be paying for it for decades to come. Oh, and the Muslims are building a huge mosque next to the new Olympic stadium.

Democrats and the media continually push the idea that 'Bush lied' about the war in Iraq. Cal Thomas says that isn't so, but he does say the Bush administration is responsible for their own declining poll numbers.
George W. Bush recently met with the South Korean president to showcase our long-standing alliance with that country. South Korea responded by withdrawing its troops from Iraq. Doug Bandow calls South Korea a welfare queen on the State Department's payroll. The income tax is undermining the U.S. economy. So, why can't we get rid of it? Answer: Power. The income tax code is a power base for politicians and a gold mine for lobbyists. When are the people of the United States going to be heard? |
