There will be a Republican Texas straw poll event over the Labor Day weekend at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Details of the event can be found here. Ron Paul will be at the event, and it will be a great opportunity to meet with large numbers of other freedom-loving Ron Paul supporters. Many of the other Republican candidates have decided not to attend the event (probably fearing a poor showing in Texas). Ron Paul is the only Texan running in the 2008 primary so it will be interesting if the home state advantage will play a role.

The only negative is that only “party delegates” are allowed to vote, which could mean a bunch of party hacks. Still, the Labor Day event should be attended by all patriots who can drive out to the event. A strong turn out by Ron Paul supporters could potentially influence the delegates. The fact that Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Thompson and even Huckabee are snubbing this event should also influence the delegates, who want someone, who will represent the interests of Texas. And how representative is an east coast moderate, like Giuliani or Romney, who won’t even show up in Texas?

Mitt Romney may also be avoiding the Texas event because of the extremely embarrassing incident involving his campaign co-chairman Senator Larry Craig. An Idaho newspaper has recently published a report on Senator Craig’s long history of Gay behavior. The Idaho Statesmen reports “Rumors about the hidden life of Sen. Larry Craig had spread on the Web for months — including hints that a reporter for the Idaho Statesman was asking the same questions and was about to produce a shocking story at any moment. Today, after news emerged elsewhere of Craig’s June arrest in a men’s room in Minneapolis, the Statesman revealed its findings. ‘…a blogger accused Craig of homosexual sex in October. Over five months, the Statesman examined rumors about Craig dating to his college days and his 1982 pre-emptive denial that he had sex with underage congressional pages.’ The most serious finding by the Statesman was the report by a professional man with close ties to Republican officials. The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington’s Union Station, probably in 2004. The Statesman also spoke with a man who said Craig made a sexual advance toward him at the University of Idaho in 1967 and a man who said Craig ‘cruised’ him for sex in 1994 at the REI store in Boise. The Statesman also explored dozens of allegations that proved untrue, unclear or unverifiable.” (more…)

No pullout from Iraq while I’m president, declares George W. Bush.

On to Iran, declares Vice President Cheney.

Israel is a “peace-seeking state” that needs $30 billion of US taxpayers’ money for war, declares State Department official Nicholas Burns.

The Democratic Congress, if not fully behind the Iraqi war, at least no longer is in the way of it.

Nor are the Democrats in the way of the Bush regime’s build up for initiating war with Iran.

The Bush regime says it is going to designate part of Iran’s military – the Revolutionary Guards – a terrorist organization, whose bases and facilities Bush intends to bomb along with Iran’s nuclear energy sites. Three US aircraft carrier strike forces are deployed off Iran. B-2 Stealth Bombers are being fitted to carry 30,000 pound “bunker-buster” bombs to use against hardened sites. Politicized US generals assert that Iran is providing arms and aid to the Iraqi resistance to the US occupation. The media is feeding the US population the same propaganda about nonexistent Iranian weapons of mass destruction that they fed us about nonexistent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. A former CIA Middle East field officer, Robert Baer, has written in Time magazine that the Bush regime has decided to attack the Revolutionary Guards within the next 6 months. Remember the “cakewalk war”? Well, this time the neocons think that an attack on the Revolutionary Guards will free Iran from Islamic influence and cause Iranians to back the US against their own government.

Lies, unprovoked aggression, and delusional expectations – the same ingredients that produced the Iraq catastrophe – all over again. The entire Bush regime and both political parties are complicit, along with the media and US allies.

According to Baer, the Bush regime has given no consideration to whether Iran’s response to a US attack might be different than to welcome it as liberation. What if Iran really were to arm the Iraqi resistance and/or to sink our aircraft carriers? How can any government, even one as incompetent, delusional and unaccountable as the Bush regime, initiate war without any thought to the consequences? (more…)

ANOTHER major Republican has been arrested for lewd conduct in a public restroom. Breitbart News reports that: “Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho pleaded guilty this month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct after being arrested at the Minneapolis airport. A Hennepin County court docket showed Craig pleading guilty to the disorderly conduct charge Aug. 8, with the court dismissing a charge of gross misdemeanor interference to privacy.” Of course, they dismissed the major count. That would reveal what the illustrious Senator actually DID.

Shortly after this story got plastered all over the headline news, Senator Craig has announced publicly that he is not Gay and that there was nothing unseemly that went on in the airport restroom. (Cough, cough.)

Fox news reports “On June 11th, Craig entered an airport bathroom, and through a series of foot tappings, and hand waving under the stall divider, his arresting officer believed Craig was motioning for a sexual encounter.” The officer had gone into the restroom after receiving a complaint about lewd behavior. The officer took a seat inside a stall. The officer then saw a gray-haired man peeking into his stall before sitting down next to him and then making the Gay signals.

Back to Breitbart: “The court docket said the Republican senator was fined $1,000, plus $575 in fees. He was put on unsupervised probation for a year. A sentence of 10 days in the county workhouse was stayed. Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which first reported the case, said on its Web site Monday that Craig was arrested June 11 by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men’s restroom at the airport.” Arrested on June 11th, and we’re just hearing about it now? So much for equality before the law. (more…)

A recent opinion article reports “The US government is on a burning platform of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic health care underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon, the country’s top government inspector has warned…These include dramatic\ tax rises, slashed government services and the large-scale dumping by foreign governments of holdings of US debt…Current US policy on education, energy, the environment, immigration and Iraq also was on an unsustainable path.”

Sounds like some paranoid right-winger pounding on his computer keyboard, right? But actually, no. These comments appeared in the highly respected Financial Times of London, the British equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. And the man making these statements is David Walker, Comptroller General of the U.S. (Our head bureaucrat, so to speak.) The Financial Times tells us that Walker “…Issued the unusually downbeat assessment of his country’s future in a report that lays out what he called chilling long-term simulations….Drawing parallels with the end of the Roman empire, Mr Walker warned there were striking similarities between America’s current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government.” (more…)

Motorists driving by the San Francisco area were surprised to see traffic boards stating that the Bay Bridge would be closed from Friday through Tuesday. Was this the result of planned maintenance (and who would be thoughtless enough to shut down a major bridge on Labor Day weekend) or was this related to concerns about a terror attack in the area? According to Prisonplanet.com, “Chatter picked up by WMR’s sources in the nation’s capital and in California point to unusual events that could be a prelude to a 9/11-like false flag incident during the Labor Day weekend, possibly one focused on the San Francisco Bay Area.”

Prisonplanet tells us: “The FBI in Seattle, as well as the Washington Joint Analytical Center (WJAC), have asked for the public’s help in identifying two men spotted aboard Washington state ferries exhibiting unusual behavior. A number of ferry passengers have reported the two men showing strange behavior.” A car full of people sped off the ferry at Port Angeles dodging customs officers. Port Angeles is a small Washington town on the Olympic peninsula. There are only two roads out of town. You’d think they could set up road blocks and catch these guys especially since possible terrorists were spotted at Port Angeles before, but Homeland Security only seems good at doing things wrong, not right.

Back to Prisonplanet: “Two photos have been circulated showing two young Middle Eastern-looking men on board a ferry. The reluctance of the FBI to provide more details is reminiscent of the 2000 and 2001 closely-held government reports that a number of teams of between two… to six young male and female Israelis, all veteran or reserve Israeli Defense Force members, were spotted casing federal facilities, oil refineries, harbor areas, homes of federal law enforcement officials, office buildings — including the World Trade Center, bridges, tunnels, and military bases and airfields prior to and subsequent to the 9/11 attacks. The Israelis were described in a number of federal reports as Middle Eastern-looking in appearance. The FBI never sought to prosecute the Israelis, many of whom were using the intelligence covers of office and home furniture movers… and art students… (The FBI) merely turned them (the pre-911 Israeli spies) over to U.S. immigration authorities for deportation back to Israel. The code phrase “Middle Eastern-looking” is meant to make us think of Arabs, but our government isn’t shy about calling Arabs “Arabs.” There’s a good chance Israelis are plotting another false flag attack.

Their latest poll is either a huge blunder or outright fraud.

A political pollster plays a powerful role in an election. He can tell people Candidate C stands no chance while Candidates A and B are getting the lion’s share of the vote. He can encourage supporters of one candidate while demoralizing supporters of another. There is no criminal penalty for turning out a poll which is a complete pack of lies. The pollster can shirk his shoulders and claim he “made a mistake” picked the wrong “sampling population” while completely switching the numbers around in an opinion poll.

For a long time the media in America was controlled by far left liberals. Today it is controlled by a mix of liberals and neocons. If special interests would buy up the mass media to control the news, what are the chances that these same special interests would overlook the opportunity to buy up or infiltrate all the major polling agencies too?

The Rasmussen polling agency claims that Rudy Giuliani, a man who has repeatedly placed in the bottom four, in Republican straw polls, is really the Republican front-runner while Ron Paul who received 81 percent of the vote in the GOP Alabama straw poll and 72 percent in the GOP New Hampshire straw poll has only one percent support. A recent update from Rasmussen claims “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson on top of the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani earns 24% of the vote from Likely Republican Primary Voters while Thompson is at 22%. Mitt Romney and John McCain are each favored by 13% while Mike Huckabee tops the second tier at 5%.”

Ron Paul got NINE PERCENT in the Iowa Straw Poll with its over 14,000 real, live Republican voters. This happened despite Paul being shut out of the debate in Iowa and despite a $35 per ticket charge to vote. Now this should be the absolute minimum, we should be willing to accept from these pollster/propaganda outlets. Meanwhile Rudy Giuliani got ONE PERCENT in the Iowa straw poll. Despite claims that Rudy did not campaign in Iowa, the truth is he spent 26 days touring Iowa in contrast to a mere 17 days by Ron Paul. Who looks like the most viable candidate based on those statistics??? (more…)

Fox News reports that “A federal jury awarded a white man $150,000 in a racial discrimination lawsuit Wednesday.” (Which is a drop in the bucket as such awards go. A black or Latino or woman would have received millions.) “Mark Pasternak, who is white, said he was dismissed from his state job helping troubled youths because he could not tolerate being called names like cracker, Polack and stupid white boy….A seven-member all-white jury found that Tommy Baines, who is black, discriminated against Pasternak and created a hostile work environment.” Gosh, I love to see that essentially meaningless phrase turned against the bastards!

Fox goes on: “Pasternak’s attorney, David Seeger, said his client took abuse from Baines for three years while the two men worked with an agency formerly known as the state Division for Youth. The facility is no longer in operation. Baines subjected Pasternak to race-based slurs, job sabotage and crude insults in front of co-workers, according to court papers and testimony… According to court records, the state investigated the racial allegations in 1998. Baines was fined $2,000 for his conduct, but he was allowed to continue working as a supervisor.”

Of course he was. Blacks don’t get fired from state employment for such minor matters. In fact, a black would practically have to kill someone -on the job- to get fired from state employment. The Fox article notes “[Pasternak] was dismissed by the state in 1999. The state later offered Pasternak his job, but he said he turned it down because the state refused to guarantee he wouldn’t be working under Baines again.” (more…)

Ann Coulter has written an excellent article on immigration entitled “One Down, 11,999,999 to Go”

by James Buchanan

The liberal media has been agonizing over the fate of one illegal alien woman, Elvira Arellano, famous for taking sanctuary in various churches before finally being arrested after making one too many public appearances. Ann Coulter has written an excellent article about this entitled “One Down, 11,999,999 to go.”

I smelled a pro-illegal publicity stunt from the first second they announced the deportation of this Latino woman. She is trying to become the “Mexican Rosa Parks.” Rosa Parks was a Black woman who violated an old segregation law in the South which kept Blacks in the back of the bus. The obvious implication is that immigration laws are “outdated and racist.”

What the liberals and Bush regime liars never address is the fact that the US would be literally flooded with Latinos AND Chinese AND Indians AND Muslims if we did away with the Immigration laws, which this Latino woman and some sick-minded liberals consider so “evil.”

For anyone, who is a bit delusional about what would happen if we stopped enforcing immigration law completely: One opinion poll taken in China asked the question “Would you immigrate to the United States if you could, and 99 percent said “Yes.” (more…)

It seems to be finally seeping into the thick skulls of the criminals and incompetents who rule us that the American people are enraged and on the verge of revolt over the issue of illegal immigration. Michael Chertoff, who heads the Department of Homeland Security, is trying to fool us into thinking the Bush regime might enforce the law. The government’s policy seems to be to LOOK like they’re doing something about the illegal invasion, while actually doing nothing at all to cut into capitalism’s supply of cheap Third World labor.

An Associated Press article reports “The Bush administration is planning new efforts to curb illegal immigration by raising fines and speeding up deployment of border agents after failing to push through legislation earlier this year. The proposals would raise civil fines on employers who hire undocumented immigrants by as much as 25 percent and overhaul temporary worker programs, according to a summary of the plans obtained by The Associated Press. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez planned to announce the changes in a news conference Friday. The administration also wants to expand the list of international gangs whose members are automatically denied admission to the U.S., reduce processing times for immigrant background checks, and install by the end of the year an exit system so the departure of foreigners from the country can be recorded at airports and seaports.”

In other words, having failed to give amnesty to 20 million illegals in this country, the administration now wants us to believe that they’re serious about enforcing the law. All very nice-sounding, assuming any of this would ever actually be implemented, which it won’t. (more…)

José Padilla’s conviction on terrorism charges on Aug. 16 was a victory, not for justice, but for the U.S. Justice (sic) Department’s theory that a U.S. citizen can be convicted, not for committing a terrorist act but for allegedly harboring aspirations to commit such an act. By agreeing with the Justice (sic) Department’s theory, the incompetent Padilla jury delivered a deadly blow to the rule of law and opened Pandora’s Box.

Anglo-American law is a human achievement 800 years in the making. Over centuries law was transformed from a weapon in the hands of government into a shield of the people from unaccountable power. The Padilla jury’s verdict turned law back into a weapon.

The jury, of course, had no idea of what was at stake. It was a patriotic jury that appeared in court with one row of jurors dressed in red, one in white, and one in blue (Peter Whoriskey, Washington Post, Aug. 17, 2007). It was a jury primed to be psychologically and emotionally manipulated by federal prosecutors desperate for a conviction for which there was little, if any, supporting evidence. For the jury, patriotism required that they strike a blow for America against terrorism. No member of this jury was going to return home to accusations of letting off a person who has been portrayed as a terrorist in the U.S. media for five years. (more…)
