A big freeze hits South America with the first snowfall in Buenos Aires in 89 years. Of course it’s winter in the southern hemisphere but apparently an unusually cold one. I guess global warming must be wandering about somewhere.

According to this article, U.S. Implicates Iran in January Attack, more proof that Iran is involved in a covert war against the United States and Iraq.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard operating inside of Iraq. The covert war against the United States continues. Atack against Iran - Impossible. Democrat attacks against the Commander in Chief - ongoing, continuous and relentless. Democrats aid and comfort to our enemy (aka treason) - Priceless.
Iranian forces crossed Iraqi border: report
Jimmy Carter is directly responsible for the Iranian revolution and the threat of worldwide Islamic domination. Not only did he allow the takeover of Iran by mad men, when our embassy in Tehran was attacked, (equivalent to attacking United States soil) he did nothing. Read this great editorial from Michael D. Evans and The Jerusalem Post.
Some quotes to ponder:
“Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint.” Andrew Young, ambassador to the UN
“Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure.” Carter’s ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan
Khomeini was not a mad mujahid, but a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty.” Carter advisor James Bill
“Who knows what sort of calamity he [Carter] may unleash on the world?” The Shah of Iran
According to this news release; Federal Deficit Sharply Lower, despite the spending on the war, earmarks and pork barrel spending the tax cuts initiated by Republicans have increased revenues to the Federal Government. The increase in economic expansion for business and lower unemployment have lowered the deficit 28.7 percent from the projected deficit. Just like John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, achieved incredible economic expansion during the 1960s with tax cuts it proves again if you let the American people keep more of their money the economy will surge and drive more revenues into the United States Treasury than higher taxes will.
Imagine what could be accomplished with controlled spending and a smaller Federal government. Oh wait! That used to be an idea that conservative Republicans embraced. Where are they now?
Saber rattling from Iran
An Iranian foreign ministry official said: “The objective would be to overwhelm US missile defence systems with dozens and maybe hundreds of missiles fired simultaneously at specific targets.”
Iran threatens Gulf blitz if US hits nuclear plants
From Scott Burns of The Boston Globe about something I support. The FairTax
Here’s a list of loopholes in the proposed immigration bill
from Senator Jeff Sessions office.
Some of the highlights:
Felons are allowed to stay.
Terrorist connections are allowed, good moral character not required.
Gang members are welcome.
Don’t have to learn English for 10 years, as in never.
Eligible for in state college tuition rates right away.
Taxpayer funded legal counsel
Earned Income Tax Credit to cost 20 Billion Dollars over 10 year period
All of these things are in place before enforcement is initiated. The loopholes are there to make this bill ineffective and useless. What we need to do is scrap this bill and enforce the laws that are already in existence. Seal off the border first, find out who is here and send them back home. The problem is our so called leaders don’t have the testicular fortitude to stand up to La Raza and the ACLU and enforce the rule of law.
We already know that the Democrats don’t believe in the rule of law unless it applies to Republicans. I am beginning to believe that Republicans don’t believe in the rule of law either. The United States Senate has completely sold out our country on immigration.
This is another reason that the 17th amendment to the United States Constitution should be repealed.
The Republican Implosion - Rove, Snow, Gingrich and DeLay
From the New Yorker by Jeffrey Goldberg
Iran has been waging a proxy war in Iraq against the United States and US troops for sometime now. Iran has been supplying, engineering and training the Islamic terrorists in Iraq on how to build and detonate powerful improvised explosive devices, (IED). These devices have killed hundreds of our soldiers and thousands of Iraqi civillans. (See US forces find Iranian money in Baghdad raid for the story)
Iran is directly interfering and undermining our mission and no one holds them accountable
Now the leader of Iran has declared, according to this story from ynet news, “Countdown to Israel’s destruction has begun.” Ahmadinejad also went on to include a vague reference to the United States in his rhetoric, “Israel is not the only nation about to collapse, The other “corrupt” nations will also give in to the Islamic republic’s strength and suffer the same fate.
I certainly hope that we have assured Ahmadinejad of the destruction his country would receive if he tries.
Iran wages war against the United States and the response of our leaders is to do nothing. Meanwhile the Democrat’s war against our President continues on a daily basis with no hope for cessation of hostilities. What an irony.
Apparently the Democrats don’t want you to know what they are going to spend on “Pork” projects. According to the Associated Press article, Democrats Hide Pet Projects From Voters “Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.” It goes on to say that, “Appropriations Committee members and staff have not had enough time to fully review the 36,000 earmark requests that have flooded the committee.” To me, it sounds like there are so many requests for pet projects the majority just goes along with them without question.
It’s business as usual in Washington DC. Billions after billions of our money being used by politicians to buy votes and stay elected. It never ends.

President Bush has it wrong on immigration. In his speech to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, GA, Bush Defends Immigration Deal.The President is accusing the conservative base of misunderstanding the bill and says about the bill that it, “makes it more likely we can enforce our border and at the same time uphold the great immigrant tradition of the United States of America.”
With all respect to the President this is a slap in the face for everyone that have gone through the process of legal immigration. We currently have immigration laws that are not enforced and a border that appears to be wide open. What I want and what America wants is enforcement of the Immigration laws on the books now. Just recently Rasmussen had a poll that indicated that Just 16% Believe Senate Bill Will Reduce Illegal Immigration.
As usual Washington politicians are going to ram this thing down our throats whether we like it or not. I agree with Peggy Noonan’s assessment in her article in the Wall Street Journal Too Bad - President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.
President Bush is wrong on this one. If he continues to go along with this it is going to be the equivalent of George Bush 41’s breaking the pledge on “read my lips, no new taxes.” I think the Democrats know this. They have President Bush right where they want him.
While shafting the American People by granting 20 million lawbreakers amnesty, the Chairman of the Republican Party, Florida Senator Mel, “Hanging with Teddy” Martinez gets a good laugh at our expense. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This one says it all.
If you look close at the sign on the wall it says “Quiet Please.” As demonstrated by the US Senators pictured here the rule does not apply to them. Whether it’s conversations in the capitol or the illegal alien invasion of our nation, the rule of law means nothing.
I have been a Republican all of my life. I have watched the Republican Party over the past few years lose its way. The concept of smaller government, less spending and lower taxes is a distant memory.
Where have the conservative politicians disappeared too? I can barely list Republican politicians who are true conservatives. Every election cycle it seems to be a choice of the lesser of two evils.
I have had a longtime belief that the Democrats, if left in power long enough, will destroy the Nation. Unfortunately if the Republicans continue to abandon their once conservative values they will destroy the Nation as well. It will just take them a little bit longer.
President George Bush was amazing in his response to 9/11 and he did what I would expect any President to do. Also, his policy on lower taxes was a great idea. It has undoubtedly strengthened the economic outlook of America. But! And there is a big but here, the rest of his domestic policies have brought more big government and bigger spending than any other president in my lifetime.
I feel that the current crop of politicians in Washington DC have abandoned the American people. Representative governance has given way to a government dictated to the people from Washington DC. Somehow in the rarefied air inside the beltway they know what’s best for America. At least, that’s what it looks like from here.
This is why I feel like I am an American political orphan. What happened to the Republican Party? What happened to my America? Where is the America that I grew up in? I can barely recognize it now.
It is my intent to write about the current state of America on these pages.

Orphaned!
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
I feel like an orphan.
An American Political Orphan.
