Insurgents Hey Main-Stream Media - I know you're listening out there - quit it with this "insurgents" word. You know as well as I do that these are 90% foreigners who snuck into Iraq to defeat freedom and to humiliate America. Only the MSM and Ward Churchill believe they are noble rebels. It's quite simple - the word is TERRORISTS. Or, if you prefer, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FOREIGN TERRORISTS. Got it?

More on Euristan I seem to be chasing our Barrister in posting on this issue today. Pete Du Pont here echoes what Steyn has been saying. Title says it all: Will EU chose collectivism over individualism? Will we? "But now (Czech) President Klaus sees an unsettling new challenge: the zeal of Old Europe--France, Germany, Brussels--to impose collective choices on New Europe--Poland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Ireland. "Ten years ago," Mr. Klaus writes, "the dominant slogan was: 'deregulate, liberalize, privatize.' Now the slogan is different; 'regulate . . . get rid of your sovereignty and put it in the hands of international institutions and organizations.' " Read entire: Click here: OpinionJournal - Outside the Box These folks will live to regret that they ever conceived of an EU.

Illegal immigration 500,000 per year and 10 million already here. I do not want to hear another word about terrorists crossing the Rio Grande, about "jobs Americans won't take", or about that phony euphemism "undocumented." It is called ILLEGAL. I suggest calling them "unarrested aliens." Hey, Washington - wake up - this is a PROBLEM, and surely Mr. Tancredo is not the only one who cares. This defies our borders, our sovereignty, the wishes of the people, and it laughs at American law. Is there another country on the planet that would stand for this nonsense? Just try moving to Canada (unless you're a Moslem). Anywhere else, this would be called an invasion. Guess what - it's not racist. It wouldn't matter if these folks were Canadians or French or whatever. Click here: AOL News - U.S. Undocumented Population Surges Also, check their poll. And if this bugs you as much as me, let your reps know: Click here: FirstGov: Federal Legislative Branch And let Bush know how you feel too, however you feel about it.

Thanks, Bird Dog Thanks so much, Bird Dog, for finally getting us all our own logging passwords, etc. We appreciate the trust. You did publish all of our stuff anyway. And thanks to CS for taking the time to set it all up. This way, Dog won't get blamed for all of our posts! "Too many of our colleagues seem to be unaware that they are not charged with saving the world and are, instead, commissioned officers of the President of the United States. If this keeps up, we'll be forced to implement the foreign policy of the United States." This from Click here: New Sisyphus who works in State Dept. This is an example of what drives us plutocrats crazy. It should drive everyone nuts. After all, we all pay for this crap.

Raise your hand if you knew that Krauthammer is a psychiatrist, is paraplegic, and is the best damn columnist in the US. In this piece, he argues for the relevance of my New First Commandment: "The international left's concern for human rights turns out to be nothing more than a useful weapon for its anti-Americanism. Jeane Kirkpatrick pointed out this selective concern for the victims of U.S. allies (like Chile) 25 years ago. After the Cold War, the hypocrisy continues. For which Arab people do European hearts burn? The Palestinians. Why? Because that permits the vilification of Israel -- an outpost of Western democracy and, even worse, a staunch U.S. ally. Championing suffering Iraqis, Syrians and Lebanese offers no such satisfaction. Hence, silence." Read entire: Click here: Charles Krauthammer: Vindicated

WW IV The best review of the history of the American role in the ME, by Bacevitch in the Wilson Quarterly. He contends that the seeds of our current World War IV were planted by FDR, that the war was declared by Carter, and reaches its full development now. And yes, it's about oil. And a pact with the devil - a pact not so much for oil itself as a pact for politically-necessary growth and prosperity.
