Taylor St., police said.&lt;br /&gt;Investigators said two people inside the vehicle were asked to get out and that's when the passenger, Aaron Baca Lopez, opened fire.&lt;br /&gt;The bullet struck Moore in the finger before lodging in her protective chest vest, Phoenix Police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill said.&lt;br /&gt;Ippel returned fire and pursued Lopez as he fled on foot, Hill said.&lt;br /&gt;The driver of the suspect vehicle was taken into custody.&lt;br /&gt;Moore was taken to the hospital by fellow officers where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the vest probably saved her life.&lt;br /&gt;Around midnight, police said Lopez forced his way into an apartment in the 2100 block of E. Fillmore and took a man hostage.&lt;br /&gt;"He just came in knocking at the door," said Cesar Patricio. "He pushed my dad and put a gun to his head."&lt;br /&gt;Patricio said the intruder was a complete surprise.&lt;br /&gt;"The guy just said, 'I just shot a police lady and I just run away from it and i'm just here to hide,'" Patricio said.&lt;br /&gt;The victim was able to escape and called police.&lt;br /&gt;"When the guy was finally asleep, my dad just ran out the door," Patricio said. "He saw the police on the street and started talking to the police."&lt;br /&gt;After hours of negotiations, Lopez surrendered without incident about 4:40 a.m., Hill said.&lt;br /&gt;Lopez was booked in the county jail for aggravated assault on a police officer and aggravated assault and kidnapping.&lt;br /&gt;Moore is a patrol officer from Central City precinct. She's been an officer for just under a year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-8306999654476369864?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.kpho.com/news/16740309/detail.html' title='And the beat goes on....'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/8306999654476369864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=8306999654476369864&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/8306999654476369864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/8306999654476369864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2008/06/and-beat-goes-on.html' title='And the beat goes on....'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-7601731237178995732</id><published>2008-01-20T09:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T11:29:52.770-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Jews</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.760kfmb.com/rick_blog/imglib/traitors.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.760kfmb.com/rick_blog/imglib/traitors.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The Jewish population has been the focal point of a lot of blame for all kinds of maladies, for 20 centuries.&lt;br /&gt;A given reason was that they had crucified Christ, and this made them a little less than human.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Medieval&lt;/span&gt; Europe, Jews were prohibited from owning property or businesses. So, they turned to handling money and making loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since any venture has to be financed, they soon became suspect as making money at the expense of the country they lived in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adolph Hitler touted  himself by telling the German people that the Jews had sold Germany out during World War I, in which he was an Army Corporal. He added another ingredient, Ethnic Cleansing, to further dehumanize them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business in the United States went from craftsmen who made needed goods to mass production.&lt;br /&gt;Mass production introduced Big Business [BB]to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal of BB became to show a profit to the Stockholders. Two factors interfered with this goal: Unions and Government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To counter these detriments, BB sent factories overseas. Another counter is the employing of Illegal Aliens. Since they are Illegal, Big Business can get away with paying them a third of what an American Worker must have to subsist .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, in the process, Big Business is giving all the benefits of our country away. They are giving away our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;sovereignty&lt;/span&gt;, to get a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;better&lt;/span&gt; "Bottom Line"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of the Jews, much was simply fantasy, but since Jews had been blamed for anything bad for two thousand years--it was easy. I the case of Big Business, the usual accusers are Liberal Democrats, accusing them of Greed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wit until some other groups who depend on Government assistance finds out Big Business gave theirs to Illegal Aliens.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-7601731237178995732?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/7601731237178995732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=7601731237178995732&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/7601731237178995732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/7601731237178995732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-jews.html' title='The New Jews'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-2550210189902044745</id><published>2007-09-22T05:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-22T05:09:04.556-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OUR little world</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://courtneyphillips.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/distracted-driving-texting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://courtneyphillips.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/distracted-driving-texting.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/97943"&gt;http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/97943&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cell industry crafts law to override text ban&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Howard Fischer, Capitol Media Services&lt;br /&gt;Arizona’s cell phone industry was shaken up by Phoenix’s new law banning texting while driving and is crafting its own state law that could override local ordinances.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One state legislator called the industry’s proposal “completely disingenuous.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Susan Bitter Smith, lobbyist for the Arizona Competitive Telecommunications Association, said the new Phoenix law unfairly targets cell phone texting by motorists as a cause of accidents. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That ordinance, which took effect this week, provides fines up to $100 for drivers who send or receive text messages on cell phones and other handheld devices while their vehicle is moving.The penalty is $250 if there is an accident. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The move came over the objections of the cellular industry, which earlier this year beat back a similar proposal by Rep. Steve Farley, D-Tucson, for a statewide ban on texting while driving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bitter Smith said attorneys are researching whether cities have the legal right to impose their own texting laws. But Bitter Smith said a simpler way to resolve the issue is a statewide law, one that covers all issues of distracted driving. She said that could include not just texting but other activities that can be dangerous, ranging from eating while behind the wheel to turning around to yell at the kids in the back seat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Farley said Bitter Smith’s legislation is a sham.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A demonstration folks, about how people put themselves first, and the rest of the world be damned.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So you see, these selfish a-holes are willing to put everyone around their 3000 pound ride at risk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, yes, I bet they march for illegal aliens and those undergoing genoicide in Darfur&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-2550210189902044745?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/2550210189902044745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=2550210189902044745&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/2550210189902044745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/2550210189902044745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/09/our-little-world.html' title='OUR little world'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-2585260884470779865</id><published>2007-09-16T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-16T14:38:08.918-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just another thing to piss you off!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.fototime.com/2EB396ACD0A4D2B/orig.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.fototime.com/2EB396ACD0A4D2B/orig.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you go to &lt;a href="http://www.anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/"&gt;http://www.anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Look for &lt;em&gt;SEPT 16, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lt.

About 60% are cars with Baja Calif Plates. You would think the School administrators would be outraged. Nope--They don't care. Why? Because every kid in that school gets them more money. They just count the kids. Where they come from is "Don't ask-Don't tell".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In California, if you start a business, the Dept of Insurance watches. You must provide a Worker's Compensation Insurance Policy, which is VERY expensive. Worker's Comp Insurance is like your car insurance--Have a crash, and your premium goes up. Have a worker get hurt, and your premium goes up. Insurers never ask where a Claimant is from, unless it looks like a fraud claim. They don't care--as long as the Employer pays the premium. One adjuster, speaking of fraud, stated that unless fraud could be proven, payments were made. It was said "If in doubt--pay out".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-4520155004338096072?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/4520155004338096072/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=4520155004338096072&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4520155004338096072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4520155004338096072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/09/they-dont-care-about-you.html' title='They don&apos;t care about you....'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-8077043862973259056</id><published>2007-09-12T14:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-12T14:37:08.577-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It's a two-way street, dipstick!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://sfgate.com/c/pictures/2005/01/22/mn_lantos2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://sfgate.com/c/pictures/2005/01/22/mn_lantos2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was interesting to watch congress persons and senators posture to please Code Pink, Move-on.org, and other assorted "Peace Advocates". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One of the Faustian characters was Rep.

This came from going to Taco Bell franchises in California.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The places always had some part that was not clean, the attendants demonstrated that English was their second language, and the food was blah.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This Taco Bell in Cottonwood has obviously been there for some time. There are indications of age .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BUT--You get inside, and your whole outlook changes. The bathroom door doesn't have five coats of paint, and there isn't toilet paper and water on the floor in the bathroom. The counter man is Jay, a guy about 18. He speaks perfect English, and he was born here. He is very knowledgeable about what his store serves. My wife wants something tasty but not too spicy as she recently had session of chemotherapy. We place our order and sit down. Not too long passes and Jay calls our number. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The food is hot and is good. No Bland here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I sat there eating, a light came on in my mind:&lt;br /&gt;1.  For Jay, this was an entry job. I'm sure he will move on to college, and a more prestigious job. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For Hispanics (READ Illegal Aliens)who come here and want benefits but not to put out an effort, this would be their life's work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Since the Hispanics make this their Life's Work, they are denying some young citizen an entry level job. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-8203492251178061029?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/8203492251178061029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=8203492251178061029&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/8203492251178061029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/8203492251178061029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/09/dining-at-taco-bell.html' title='Dining at Taco Bell'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-6178581990310697816</id><published>2007-09-02T16:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-07T16:06:37.547-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A big double standard</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/images/illegalaliens_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/images/illegalaliens_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mesa cop to be disciplined for gestures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[Illegal Aliens show their respect for YOU]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/96743"&gt;http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/96743&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A uniformed, on-duty Mesa police sergeant was among dozens who hurled insults or obscene gestures at immigrant protesters earlier this week, the Mesa Police Department announced Thursday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sgt. Mike Doherty, a 20-year veteran, will be disciplined for making an insulting gesture twice with his hands at a group of about 30 protesters when he drove past them Wednesday at Alma School Road and Main Street in his marked police truck, said spokeswoman Holly Hosac.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A few protesters took down Doherty’s license plate number and description and reported him to the department, Hosac said.Neither Doherty nor a representative of Immigrants Without Borders, which organized the protest, could be reached for comment late Thursday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Mesa protest group was among several throughout the Valley &lt;strong&gt;who were trying to bring attention to new laws that will punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants&lt;/strong&gt;.Their signs said things such as “I am your cook,” and “Sorry your house isn’t clean.”Doherty told Mesa investigators his gestures were not ethnically motivated, pointing out that his wife is Hispanic, Hosac said.He told them “he just has a general distaste for protesters,” she said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the early 70's, a fellow Officer had to go to court in downtown Los Angeles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The City Attorney subpoenas you to be there at 8:00 AM, but you have to sit through the cases in front of you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A man was contesting the search of his car by a Los Angeles Police motorcycle rider. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His attorney alleged that the Officer had no "Probable Cause" to stop the man, charged with transporting and possesion for sale of drugs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Officer testified that he was westbound on Wilshire Bl. when he noticed the man driving eastbound, as the man neared and passed, he raised his middle finger to the Officer. The Officer executed a u-turn and stopped the man to ascertain what his hostility stemmed from. After stopping the man, an odor was noted of leaf marijuana, and a search turned up some "Bricks" in the back seat, convered with a blanket.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The judge then declared that this was no reason to stop the man, and elaborated that this was simply a gesture with no special meaning behind it, and dismissed the case. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Officer then stood up, raised his mid-finger to the judge and said, " Have a nice day, your honor"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The judge exploded, and ordered the baliff to take the offcer into custody. At this point, the defendant's attorney rose and said, "Your Honor, you just got through saying it was a gesture meaning nothing". The Officer was released. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://home.xnet.com/~lelp/lelr/janfeb01.htm#article7"&gt;http://home.xnet.com/~lelp/lelr/janfeb01.htm#article7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Civil Liability; Personnel Law&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name="article7"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil Liability: Arrest for Giving a Police Officer the Finger; "Fighting Words"; Qualified ImmunityNichols v. Chacon, 110 F.Supp.2d 1099 (W.D.Ark. 2000). &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Federal. An arrestee's display of his middle finger in an upward gesture, commonly referred to as "flipping someone off," "the bird," or "giving someone the finger," did not constitute "fighting words" and, thus, was protected as free speech under the First Amendment in a civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. sec. 1983. The court ruled that the arresting police officer was not entitled to qualified immunity in the lawsuit. It said the arrestee-plaintiff's gesture was clearly established as protected free speech at the time when the officer issued a ticket to the arrestee for disorderly conduct.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While we agree the gesture utilized by Nichols was crude, insensitive, offensive, and disturbing to Chacon's sensibilities, it was not obscene under the relevant Supreme Court precedent, did not constitute 'fighting words,' and was protected as 'free speech' under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. We also believe that this right was clearly established on August 6th of 1998 when Chacon arrested Nichols. Accordingly, we hold as a matter of law that Chacon is not entitled to qualified immunity and that his arrest of Nichols violated Nichols' First and Fourth Amendment rights."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, here we go again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;IF it is done by a citizen, it is "Protected Speech".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;IF it is done by an officer, it is cause for discipline. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, in this case, you have a police sergeant, with 20 years of experience, who is going to be "Disciplined" for expressing his opinion of people here illegally, and who are advocating that U S Citizen Employers be given immunity for IlLEGALLY employing them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Action should be taken on whom?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-6178581990310697816?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/6178581990310697816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=6178581990310697816&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/6178581990310697816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/6178581990310697816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/09/big-double-standard.html' title='A big double standard'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-3186346587300093346</id><published>2007-08-24T05:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T10:54:48.386-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Nigerian scheme</title><content type='html'>How many of you have either got a letter or an Email, and it goes like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am ____, and my _____ was the (Moneybags) of _______[country].&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I need x amount of dollars to get into the account of ( number) of billions of dollars left by Moneybags.

He had served 7 presidents and one horse's *ss (and we are not counting Jimmy Carter as the horse's *ss). But Hillary Clinton wanted Dale and his associates gone. She wanted him gone very badly. Harry Thomason was owed a big favor for getting rape victim Elizabeth Ward Gracen out of the country on an acting gig during the 1992 campaign.&lt;br /&gt;What had Dale done to Hillary? The answer is he had done nothing. Dale and six others were simply in the way of her plans.&lt;br /&gt;Most Americans do not know that during the 1992 campaign, the Clintons used an Arkansas travel agency, World Wide Travel. They worked with a Clinton cousin, Catherine Cornelius. WWT provided a million dollars in deferred travel for the Clinton campaign, freeing up much needed cash for campaigning. Employees of the firm donated to the Clinton campaign.&lt;br /&gt;It gets even better. The supposed investigation against Travel Office "accounting improprieties" was headed by…..are you ready…headed by none other than Cornelius herself just as she was planning with World Wide Travel for a reorganization that would put her in charge of the department. She gets a good job and Thomasson gets a hugely profitable business.&lt;br /&gt;The Clintons had every right to simply dismiss Dale and the others and bring in their own people. Hillary, the brains behind the operation, not only had Dale fired, but also tried to send him to prison. Firing was not good enough. In May of 1993 the employees were given one hour's notice to clean out their desks, and they were escorted away in a windowless van. The replacement was made without competitive bid.&lt;br /&gt;Dale was very popular with the White House press corps. He knew them all and treated them very well. The firing and trumped-up charges against Dale became a public relations nightmare, so Hillary had to distance herself. Keeping in mind that the first instinct of the Clintons is always to lie, that is exactly what she did. She claimed that he had nothing to do with the firing.&lt;br /&gt;The nightmare grew worse for Dale as the FBI was brought in and he was charged with embezzling money from the Travel Office. At one point, the cost of trial would have been so prohibitively expensive that Dale tried to do a plea bargain to just make it go away. Fortunately, the government did not accept a plea bargain. When it came to trial, Dale was acquitted by the jury in under 2 hours. What they did to him was in incredible injustice. Not surprisingly, as has happened to most of the Clinton enemies, the IRS also came after him.&lt;br /&gt;There are, however, more twists and turns to this story that most of America has either forgotten or never knew. In December of 1993, a request was made by the White House for Dale's FBI file. The reason for the request was to evaluate Dale for "access to the building." What? He had been fired seven months earlier. The Clintons, of course, along with the rest of their criminal enterprise, blocked and misled investigators looking into the treatment of Dale.&lt;br /&gt;While Hillary claimed not to be involved in the firing, the following information exists:&lt;br /&gt;"periodic reports from Vince Foster that [the] First Lady had inquired about [the] Travel Office and why wasn't action being taken_report was that they should be fired immediately and out of here by the end of the day."-- Subpoenaed notes of David Watkins.&lt;br /&gt;"went to Mac . . . Hillary wants these people fired . . . Mac wouldn't do it ... DW [David Watkins] didn't want to do it."-- Lorraine Voles, deputy Press Secretary, noted that she had heard Susan Thomases say.&lt;br /&gt;"[Patsy] Thomason comes back in DW's [office]_says he bumped into Hillary and she's ready to fire them all that day.''-- Mr. Watkins' contemporaneous handwritten notes detail a conversation that he had with Harry Thomason.&lt;br /&gt;"Harry says his people can run things better; save money, etc. And besides we need those people out_we need our people in_We need the slots_ . . . Is the real story to be told?''-- David Watkins notes of a conversation with the First Lady on May 14, 1993.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Hillary was in this thing up to her eyeballs. It was abuse of power and an attempt to ruin the life of a civil servant. She was behind Travelgate just as she has been behind almost every abuse of power we witnessed for eight excruciatingly long years.&lt;br /&gt;Robert Ray, who succeeded Ken Starr, apparently thought that an indictment of Hillary for perjury would not be good on his resume as he planned to seek elective office. One more gutless prosecutor and Hillary remains free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ORIGIN: &lt;strong&gt;Doug From Upland&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-4447008213943177332?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/4447008213943177332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=4447008213943177332&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4447008213943177332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4447008213943177332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-you-do-not-want-hillary1.html' title='WHY YOU DO NOT WANT HILLARY#1'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-3432998720451266412</id><published>2007-08-19T04:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-19T10:33:36.862-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Contaminated result</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site203/2007/0819/20070819_121402_081907_MarchCT.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site203/2007/0819/20070819_121402_081907_MarchCT.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arthur Garcia and his mother Loretta, both of Pomona, pray on Saturday during the Million Mothers March in Pomona.

Freedom is based on trust, and you can't trust if you know people are ripping you off. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem is close to home: Mexico. Many Mexicans come to the U S Legally and Illegally. Information says that one man controls all the communications in mexico. This man's company takes 40% of all money wired to Mexico. So, if Juan comes here, works his butt off on some farm, and sends a hundred dollars home, his family will get sixty dollars.. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/20078180443.asp"&gt;http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/20078180443.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Can't Run, Can't Hide, Can't Make a Deal&lt;/span&gt; by &lt;a href="http://jimdunnigan.com/"&gt;James Dunnigan&lt;/a&gt;August 18, 2007&lt;a href="http://www.strategypage.com/messageboards/messages/478-3579.asp"&gt;Discussion Board on this DLS topic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are now 162,000 American troops in Iraq, the most ever. The surge tactics, of constantly chasing after terrorist groups, has left more of the terrorist leaders vulnerable. This week, the guy who planned the two bombing attacks on the Shia Al Askaria (Golden Dome) mosque in Samarra was killed up north. In nearby Mosul, the local Sunni Arab community is becoming even more vicious, knowing that their politicians have been unable to obtain amnesty for the terrorist leaders who have been presiding over the bombers and death squads in the northern oil city. The Sunni Arabs must have Mosul, because it's where about a third of Iraq's oil is. If Iraqi gets split up into a federated union, the Sunni Arabs need oil. But the Kurds want the oil as well, and are ready to ignore U.S. calls for calm, and launch an ethnic cleaning campaign. All the Sunni Arabs would be driven out of Mosul. To do this would risk fighting with American troops, but the Kurds, and other minorities in the area, are fed up with Sunni Arab terrorism, and want either peace, or peace through revenge.&lt;br /&gt;The 120,000 troops of the Iraqi army are really at war now. There are two divisions around Ramadi, two in Mosul, two around Kirkuk and Baquba, one south of Baghdad and two in Basra. Three more divisions are in the process of forming. The quality of these divisions, and even battalions within the divisions, varies with the quality of the officers. Too many of the officers are inexperienced, or corrupt. A major function of U.S. advisor teams assigned to divisional, brigade and battalion headquarters, is to provide their American bosses with an accurate assessment of just what the advised Iraqi officers are capable of. No point in asking these Iraqi army units to do more than they can handle. As a result, the Iraqi troops have been racking up a long string of battlefield successes. Some Iraqi generals protest that more could be done with Iraqi troops, but these generals are not paying attention to what the American advisors are seeing.&lt;br /&gt;In Baghdad and in the south, uncooperative Shia militias, especially the Mahdi Army, are under attack. Their leaders are being rounded up, along with raids on militia headquarters and seizure of records showing the support from Iran.&lt;br /&gt;The 138,000 police are another matter. Although they are the "National Police," the cops are recruited locally, and generally serve in their own neighborhoods. This makes for a lot of corruption and partisan. Warlords and gang bosses consider it mandatory to get control of the local police, through the customary bribes and intimidation. It doesn't always work, but it does often enough to make most Iraqi cops unreliable. The ineffective police are a major complaint of the average Iraqi. Then again, no one can remember a time when Iraqi police were anything but ineffective.&lt;br /&gt;The corruption remains as bad as ever. The Iraqi government is mainly interested in two things; putting as much hurt as possible on the Sunni Arab community, and stealing as much money as possible. The anti-Sunni Arab stuff comes from public opinion. Politicians stay office, at least in a democracy, by doing what the voters what. A majority of Iraqis (the 90 percent who are not Sunni Arab), want the Sunni Arabs to suffer for their sins (centuries of domination, Saddam, the current terrorism). The U.S. has been trying to get the government to make peace with the Sunni Arabs. But the Americans cannot get enough Sunni Arabs to admit they have done bad things, and must accept some blame from the majority government. Too many Sunni Arabs believe they are being wronged, and that they will eventually prevail. This deadlock led to most Sunni Arab ministers quitting the government. The U.S. is caught in the middle. Many local Sunni Arab leaders (tribal and clan chiefs) have turned against the al Qaeda and Iraqi terrorist groups. They want peace. But the many Sunni Arab leaders with blood on their hands, won't accept peace that puts them at risk of being tried for war crimes.&lt;br /&gt;The stealing, and corruption in general, is seen as a perk of office, whether elected or appointed. Officials are expected to grab goodies for their supporters. Not much different than the "pork barrel" politics in any democracy (where legislators are expected to get money for local needs), but on a much larger scale. &lt;strong&gt;There's something of a competition to see who can steal the most for themselves and their supporters.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get too greedy, and you might be one of the few officials who gets prosecuted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iraqis have figured out that it's a good idea to prosecute a few corrupt officials to keep the Americans happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Iraqis also have a hard time figuring out exactly what the Americans mean by "clean government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is definitely a bad case of cultural confusion here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the government has made peace with Turkey, by promising a crackdown on the Turkish PKK (Kurdish separatist) rebels who have refuges in northern Iraq. Promising and doing are two different things. The Iraqi prime minister making the promise is a Shia Arab. The people who run northern Iraq are Kurds. But if this promise is not kept, the Turks threaten to invade, and clean out the camps. This time, the Turks are demanding performance, or else.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-9082926748239277587?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/9082926748239277587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=9082926748239277587&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/9082926748239277587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/9082926748239277587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/08/they-try-to-make-it-sound-unique.html' title='They try to make it sound unique'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-4341524777975036815</id><published>2007-07-27T05:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-27T05:11:12.883-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why nothing gets done</title><content type='html'>STORY #1&lt;br /&gt;Teacher faces discipline&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/294834.html"&gt;http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/294834.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocklin Unified School District will discipline but not dismiss a teacher who allegedly roughed up a student.&lt;br /&gt;John Michael Bosco, 47, faces discipline for the incident in which a 16-year-old student at Whitney High School alleged he was shoved backward over his chair and grabbed around the neck, the district said.&lt;br /&gt;Bosco and the student were engaged in good-natured teasing when the boy began asking personal questions about Bosco's daughter, causing the teacher to react, according to police who investigated the June 1 incident.&lt;br /&gt;Superintendent Kevin Brown would not disclose the disciplinary action, saying it was a personnel matter.&lt;br /&gt;"The conclusion of our investigation was that there was a degree of inappropriate conduct, and corrective action with appropriate consequences would be taken," Brown said.&lt;br /&gt;Bosco was placed on a paid administrative leave after the incident.

She said the FBI considered the four "collateral damage" in its war against the Mafia, the bureau's top priority in the 1960s.&lt;br /&gt;Tameleo and Greco died behind bars, and Salvati and Limone spent three decades in prison before they were exonerated in 2001. Salvati, Limone and the families of the other men sued the federal government for malicious prosecution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand, in my opinion, the teacher in the first case was justified. So, little miscreants go about their crime and destruction, and no one dares to criticize or discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the second case, since Agents didn't have " The Goods", they "made up stuff".&lt;br /&gt;And someone--somewhere--knew it was a bulls**t lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, since the Agents did that, their entire organization issuspect, with the entire non-enforcement population wondering " What else did they " Make Up"?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-4341524777975036815?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/4341524777975036815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=4341524777975036815&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4341524777975036815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/4341524777975036815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/07/why-nothing-gets-done.html' title='Why nothing gets done'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-3309862868920220211</id><published>2007-07-14T10:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-14T16:59:00.921-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Don't want criminal--let's go Liability</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/48/47/23284748.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right;

Twelve Americans are murdered every day by &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2006/11/07/actress-and-mother-murdered-to-hide-illegal-aliens-status/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;illegal aliens.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The figure comes to us via a “SPECIAL MESSAGE” e-mail from “&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://capoliticalnews.com/s/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stephen Frank’s ‘California Political News and Views’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;They source it to the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.minutemanhq.com/hq/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.pfaw.org/Right/rightmarch-121906.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Minutemen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, in turn, cite a “report” by Representative Steve King of Iowa.&lt;br /&gt;But Rep. King’s &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.house.gov/apps/list/hearing/ia05_king/col_20060505_bite.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;press release&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; attributes the 12 per day figure to………nothing.&lt;br /&gt;No source is cited. The trail is cold.&lt;br /&gt;Anecdotes aside, we actually know precious little about the total volume of crimes committed by illegal aliens. Reason: The FBI’s &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;uniform crime reports&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, regarded as the most reliable and comprehensive source of crime data, does not record nativity of perpetrators—let alone their legal status. Even the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2005/10/05/14-farm-workers-arrested-for-gang-rape-in-florida%25e2%2580%25a6are-they-illegal-aliens/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ethnicity of arrestees&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; is obscured by &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2005/10/30/fbi-wont-report-crime-as-hispanic-heres-why/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;lumping Hispanics in with Anglo whites.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=%22there+isn" p="all&amp;sp-w-control=" month="0&amp;amp;sp-end-day=" day="0&amp;sp-start-year=" range="-1&amp;amp;sp-start-month=" w="alike&amp;sp-d=" a="'sp0a298a00&amp;amp;sp-advanced="&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not for the first time&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, the government apparently just doesn’t want to hear bad news about immigration’s impact.&lt;br /&gt;Even so, the FBI stats do tend to undercut the Frank/Minuteman/King assertions. Of the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_43.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;10,083 individuals arrested for murder in 2005&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, only 4,955 were white/Hispanic. At 12 per day, illegals would kill 4,380 per year.&lt;br /&gt;Implication: nearly all of the white/Hispanics arrested for &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vdare.com/fulford/050526_medellin.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;murder&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; in 2005 would have to be illegal aliens for the 12/day &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vdare.com/rubenstein/060913_nd.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;factoid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; to be credible.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the 12/day refers to murders, not perpetrators. If illegals are &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/notorious/juan_corona/index.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;disproportionately mass murderers,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; a handful could have done it. Alternatively, illegals may &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vdare.com/guzzardi/050408_gang.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;get away with murder&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; at greater rates than the rest of us. That would indeed be the case if most of their victims were other illegals, with no next of kin to report their disappearance.&lt;br /&gt;Several states break out Hispanic arrests separately. In California, for example, 946 Hispanics were arrested for murder in 2005. (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vdare.com/rubenstein/070112_nd_table.htm#t1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Table 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.) An estimated 2.8 million illegals – equivalent to about one-quarter of California’s Hispanic population – lived there in 2005, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=61"&gt;&lt;em&gt;according to the Census.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; (That’s probably an egregious underestimate since the Census survey on which it is based puts the total U.S. illegal alien population at 11.5 million, a figure thought low by many.)&lt;br /&gt;My conservative calculation: If one-quarter of the Hispanics arrested for murder were illegals, then 0.65 murders per day could, on average, be attributed to illegals. California is home to about one-quarter of all illegals. So by extrapolation, illegals could kill 2.6 persons per day across the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;Ouch. That’s certainly less than 12. But it’s still a lot.&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, Hispanic homicide rates are increasing faster than those of other groups. (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vdare.com/rubenstein/070112_nd_table.htm#t1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;See Table 1 again&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.) From 2000 to 2005, California’s Hispanic murder rate (arrests per 100,000 Hispanic population) rose 16.8 percent, to 7.44.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Illegal Aliens Are Nation’s Most Lethal Drivers&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yjwe2w"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/yjwe2w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;On October 19, 2003, the ex-quarterback for the University of Colorado football team, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freewebs.com/johnhessler/index.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;John Hesler&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, was driving his Honda Accord on Interstate 76 in Colorado when it was clipped by an SUV sending it across a median and into the path of a pickup truck, causing a horrific accident. The driver and passenger of the SUV fled the scene and haven't been found. The Colorado State Patrol told Hesler's family that they most likely are in Mexico. As of March 2006, John Hesler was still going through extensive physical therapy. The car that caused the accident did not have insurance. Since the driver was not apprehended or ticketed, no one knows whether he had a license. Most likely he did not, but even if so, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/government/article/0,2777,DRMN_23906_4969012,00.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;false documentation is a major problem in Colorado&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, as well as &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45392"&gt;&lt;em&gt;across the USA.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For now, let’s look at only one area of the United States: the East Coast. For a detailed report on what is happening on the roads and highways of the East Coast, see the article &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=93408&amp;ran=120909&amp;amp;tref=po"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harvest of death on the Eastern Shore&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; where it is reported that while 5% of the population is Hispanic in the area, they are involved in 25% of the fatal traffic accidents, an astounding 5 times as much participation as representation! Given the fact that most of the Hispanic community is, like other ethnic groups, law abiding and responsible citizens, that means that the illegal alien portion of the Hispanic community is even worse. How much worse no one knows because no one is tracking it.&lt;br /&gt;A review of State Police auto accident reports for 2002 through 2004 for that area of the Eastern Shore also revealed that of the 179 accidents involving Hispanic laborers:&lt;br /&gt;· 75% of the drivers had no auto insurance.&lt;br /&gt;· Nearly all of the vehicles driven by migrants were registered to other drivers.&lt;br /&gt;· 93% of the vehicles had false out-of-state tags.&lt;br /&gt;In 2003 and 2004, 128 of the 395 people, 32.4%, arrested on DUI charges were Hispanic, a rate six times greater than the Hispanic portion of the population.&lt;br /&gt;The article goes on, “When crashes occur, it is not uncommon for Hispanic drivers – often intoxicated and unlicensed – to flee before troopers arrive. According to State Police records, about a third of accidents involving migrant workers are hit-and-run. State Trooper Koushel said migrants often cannot be conclusively identified when they’re stopped for a violation or involved in an accident.” “Many”, he said, “are illegal aliens who carry fake or invalid driver’s licenses”. “Because of that”, he said, “many fail to show up in court. It’s almost like writing a ticket to a ghost.”&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the DUI problem, see &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wilmingtonstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060622/NEWS/606220415/1004"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hispanics in crashes lead DWI stats&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Illegal aliens who drive without licenses often cannot read English. As a result, they don’t know the rules of the road and can’t read highway signs. Couple that with the higher tendency for DUI driving, and many illegal aliens are the worst drivers on the road, as noted by some of the various traffic accident statistics cited in this paper. Add in the fact that they generally have no insurance and that makes them, as a group, the most irresponsible drivers on the road, as well.&lt;br /&gt;As noted in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.texarkanagazette.com/articles/2006/11/23/local_news/news/news03.txt"&gt;&lt;em&gt;No license to drive: Illegal immigrant drivers creating problem in De Queen, Arkansas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, population 5,765:&lt;br /&gt;“Hispanic drivers in De Queen without driver’s licenses have become an accident waiting to happen, an official said. “The majority of Hispanics have no driver’s license and they’re part of the illegal immigration problem. If they’re here illegally, they can’t get into the system to get driver’s license. In most cases they don’t have car insurance either,” said Mayor Billy Ray McKelvy.&lt;br /&gt;The drivers also have no vehicle insurance and no liability insurance, says McKelvy.&lt;br /&gt;…In the last two months, De Queen has been averaging about an accident per week involving Hispanic drivers with no driver’s licenses. Ten vehicles have been involved and the average amount of damage per vehicle was estimated to be $3,000. So far, none of the crashes in De Queen have been fatal.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, my proposal is this: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pass a law, making the Employer LIABLE if an Illegal Alien harms or kills a member of your family.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After all Mr. Moneybags is the reason _____( Fill in the balnk--Hector, Juan, Julio, manuel) is here.

She reveled in prosecuting White Collar crime and Randy " Duke" Cunningham)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The consistent violation ignored by these people was failure-or refusal--to prosecute voter fraud. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The President APPOINTS these people, and therefore, can fire them at will--for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But here come the  meddlers. A fact I found in Law Enforcement was that the general population would not tell their dentist or plumber what to do, but everyone knew better  how to be a law enforcer that I was doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To me, there are several deleterious effects:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. The IGNORANT have been given a voice and power in almost everything. So, you have people whose only exposure to the outside world is to drive to work or play, but they are listened to about how the run the war in Iraq. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B. Decisions to fire someone are contested based on popularity of the person, or the Agenda of the complainer. It is said that the Democrats want to shift negative attention on to the President, and AWAY from their Democratic Voter Fraud efforts. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. Employers will be hesitant to hire anyone. The personnel regulations and current law reserve a myriad number of things that are confidential or do not have to be released by the applicant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-235351909525685854?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/235351909525685854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=235351909525685854&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/235351909525685854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/235351909525685854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/07/everyone-expert.html' title='Everyone an expert'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-598011118481501877</id><published>2007-07-01T06:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-01T10:59:37.704-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why the United States is going to fail....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.teraasekeskus.com/tuotteet/security/RubberBerettanet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.teraasekeskus.com/tuotteet/security/RubberBerettanet.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many people were somewhat relieved when the latest attempt to give citizenship to 12 to 20 MILLION Illegal Alliens failed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The image you see looks like a handgun...but is not.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The vast Homeland Security is much the same. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem began in the 1960's with Doctor Spock and his "Child Psychology". His approach was to "Reason" and "Negotiate" with children.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;You had to talk to chidren, and not use any physical force. That way, the child had no apprehension of a penalty or punishment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As time went on, there were people who did not want to punish. EXAMPLE:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In California, possession of ANY marijuana was a Felony, punished by time in prison and loss of right to vote.  But, the "Kinder, Gentler" (KG ) folks declared,"Everybody is doing it and we shouldn't make them criminals".  A lot of these were in the legislature, and they passed a bill that declared that possession of less than an ounce of Marijuana was an INFRACTION, punishable only by :1. receiving a citation, and 2. a fine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How about Immigration? IN 1986, Congress passed an amnesty for persons who could prove they had been in the US for some time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back105.html"&gt;http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back105.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;EnforcementIRCA had bipartisan support, being passed by a Republican-dominated Senate and a Democratic majority House; major actors were Sen. Alan Simpson (Rep. Wyo.) and Congressman Peter Rodino (Dem. N.J.), chairs, respectively of the Senate immigration subcommittee and of the House Judiciary Committee. The legislative package was sold as a grand compromise, assuring legalization for the more senior (and more rural) of the undocumented aliens while creating a new system, employer sanctions, to prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens in the future. (The latter was very much desired by the AFL-CIO at the time, then under different leadership than today.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prior to 1986 it had been illegal for an undocumented worker to be in the country, and it was illegal for people to “harbor” such aliens, but it had not been against the law to employ them. Employers and the immigration bar disliked the idea, but with the agricultural interests satisfied by the SAW provisions and a stand-by Replacement Agricultural Worker&lt;a href="http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back105.html#8."&gt;8&lt;/a&gt; program, the grand compromise of some legalization and some employer sanctions made it through the Congress. &lt;strong&gt;But passing laws and enforcing them are two different matters.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Reagan Administration and Republicans, generally, never were very enthusiastic about the enforcement of labor laws, and relatively little money was made available for employer sanctions. The law remains on the books but has made only a very minor difference in the labor market. In a sense, however, it does play an episodic role at the very top of the U.S. labor market, that is where Cabinet officials are hired. Several likely potential future members of the Cabinet, both Democrats and Republicans, have come to grief for hiring illegal aliens as household servants. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/001719.html"&gt;http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/001719.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;August 02, 2004 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/001719.html"&gt;Let's all move to Rep.

Joe Baca (D-San Bernardino)] has become a lightning rod of criticism from supporters of the [recent immigration sweeps 100 miles from the border] and from a Southern California Border Patrol union whose members felt the congressman vilified them for detaining the suspects, according to those from both parties watching the election closely...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;[...Some think he may have bitten off more than he could chew...]&lt;br /&gt;Baca's stance on the sweeps has brought greater media attention and support to his Republican challenger, &lt;a href="http://www.laningforcongress.com/"&gt;Ed Laning&lt;/a&gt;, a construction company executive who adamantly supports the Border Patrol operations...&lt;br /&gt;"There is this kernel of just incredible anger about immigration," [UC Riverside political science professor Max Neiman] said. "It does have a potential for exploding."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...[Baca] also declared the sweeps illegal and accused the Border Patrol agents of overstepping their authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Baca and several other legislators in Washington discussed the sweeps with &lt;a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/001615.html#001615"&gt;Asa Hutchinson&lt;/a&gt;, undersecretary for border and transportation security at the Department of Homeland Security. After the meeting, Hutchinson declared the sweeps a violation of agency policy and said future operations far from the border must be approved by the department.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;strong&gt;Baca has said that he favors enforcing the law but believes federal immigration authorities should instead hunt down employers who hire illegal immigrants...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;[...Border Patrol agents post anti-Baca messages to bulletin boards...]&lt;br /&gt;Joanne Peters, a Baca spokeswoman, said the union members who attacked the congressman are "loose cannons" who have been reprimanded by their superiors...&lt;br /&gt;Short of moving to Baca's district, perhaps we should take him up on his offer. I'm sure he won't mind if we start conducting sweeps against the employers of his "constituents."&lt;br /&gt;Baca might be able to pull strings to silence those "loose cannons," but I have a feeling his attempts to squelch their First Amendment rights will backfire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, what it amounts to is you follow the child psychology model. First, you take away penalties and punishment. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next, you pass laws that says  an act is illegal, but you do not enforce the law, and get your enforcers to ignore the law. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lastly, to make sure that the transgressors do not feel offended, you seek out any variation by your enforcers, and vigorously prosecute and punish them for that variation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;EXAMPLES: Ramos, Campeon, Sipe, &lt;a href="http://www.americanfreedomriders.com/GarysStory.html"&gt;Gary Brugman&lt;/a&gt;, Noe Aleman, and Sheriff's Deputy Gilmer Hernandez inside the United States, and the Haditha and Hamdaniya Marines operating in Iraq. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In both cases, the Bush Administration sought out witnesses friendly to " The Victim", and "Bought" their testimony. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-598011118481501877?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/598011118481501877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=598011118481501877&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/598011118481501877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/598011118481501877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/07/why-united-states-is-going-to-fail.html' title='Why the United States is going to fail....'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-2097574409738880273</id><published>2007-06-29T05:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T05:40:23.854-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Whoop his -ss and fire him off the job</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.newmediamusings.com/photos/uncategorized/drudge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.newmediamusings.com/photos/uncategorized/drudge.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;When I was a young man, most work was simple and amounted to manual labor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;If you were hired, the foreman wanted to see your rear,, with elbows in fast motion.

Often then slacker, thinking his pride was attacked would challenge the foreman to a fight. Most foremen were good fighters.

They were working for John Q. Smith and Family, but tried to take the Smith's assets and hand them over to Vicente Fox's cartel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;The deal also favored the Rich Company down the road, whose heads are members of the U S Chamber of Commerce. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;It is like they tried to take a brick building apart, each brick bought by the blood of a U S Citizen ancestor defending that building. and hand that brick to those who were from countries around the world, often countries who want us dead or under submission of their primitive religion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;They tried to give out the building blocks to wealthy corporations who have already sent jobs to Vietnam, Malaysia, China, and India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;To them, it is "Just Business". To them, it means a bigger donation so they can buy TV time, and lIE to us about how good of a job they will do for us if we extend their employment contract like we did for Jon Kyl. Remember, he used the sheriffs of Arizona in an ad, walking with them, and saying," I'll never vote for Amnesty". He spoke in front of Border Patrol Agents, tasked with keepingIlegals out, and declared he would never vote for"Guest Worker" or "Amnesty". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;To those who tried so hard to prostitute themselves to Foreign countries, to Corporate Interests, to the unwashed, disease carrying invaders, we have given them their Personnel Review. Their effort so far gets a F grade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;The next step is to watch and see if they are working for us.

They voted mostly for Democratic candidates who lied their asses off, and claimed"I'm Conservative". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here in Arizona , Rep. J D Haywoth was defeated by a Socialist Democrat who accused JD of "Being soft on Illegal Immigration". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once these Democrats were installed in Congress, their major propulsion from from groups like Code Pink, ANSWER, and Not in Our Name (NION) anti-war , pounded the Democrats to "Pull out the Troops". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I will call the Main Stream Media (TV networks, newspapers, NPR) willing facilitators of Defeat. CAPTION=&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it? Say what?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What they did not count on was that for every soldier in the military, there are five to ten people near that soldier's home, who know and treasure his/her life. These people stirred. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next event was when a Vietnam Veteran found that these groups were going to hold an anti-war rally on March 17. The Anti-War people were going to form up in front of the Vietnam War Memorial, also known as "The Wall". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In a previous"Demonstration", the Anti-War groups had vandalized monuments and capitol steps with spray paint&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/35407"&gt;http://www.dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/35407&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwbudsVNlBU"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwbudsVNlBU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"The Wall" is about the only symbol of respect allowed Vietnam Veterans by the US Government or most of the US population. To the veterans, that symbol IS their lost fellow soldiers, sailors, and Marines. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Word quickly speed. Vietnam Vets, current military, their families and friends vowed that the Anti-War groups would not get the opportunity to spray " their Wall". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People drove, flew, and rode to DC. March 17 turned out to be 28 degrees. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;THIRY THOUSAND people showed up for the vets and their allies. What had been advertised as a hundred thousand protesters, which actually turned out to be ten thousand, came to The Mall, but were denied any proximity to The Wall. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How much note did this draw from the MSM? CSPAN covered the War Protestors. The Washington Times sent their ace cracker-jack reporter--He talked to the Anti-War protestors and ignored the counter protest. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It seems that politicians got wind of what was coming to town. All of them fled. Bush went to Camp David on icy roads, and had a collision with an elderly couple. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/425127426_b643bde440.jpg"&gt;http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/425127426_b643bde440.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;__________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next event was some information coming out that Senators had been meeting behind closed doors, and with President Bush--again behind closed doors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The aspects of what they were working on--a "Comprehensive Immigration Bill" were slow to be revealed to us idiots out here in Reality. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When they did come out, we found:&lt;br /&gt;These are parts of the new immigration bill you have not heard about. If you think it is totally insane .......please write your representatives!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Security doesn't come first in this bill&lt;/strong&gt;. This bill would immediately legalize illegal aliens that are currently in the country. The only way Congress will actually see to it that the border security and enforcement provisions in the bill will be implemented is if they have to do them before they even consider an amnesty for the people who are here. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Illegal aliens won't have to pay back taxes&lt;/strong&gt; ? where do we get the same deal? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The whole idea that illegal aliens shouldn't have to pay the taxes they already owe for working in the United States is utterly and completely offensive because it actually gives them a privilege that American citizens aren't getting: forgiveness for taxes owed to the IRS.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;If passed, this bill will make taxpayers pay the legal bills for illegal aliens seeking amnesty.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tucked away on page 317 is a provision that would allow lawyers in the federally-funded legal services program to represent illegal aliens, which they are presently barred from doing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.4. This bill rewards illegal aliens for breaking our laws&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are tens of millions of people who respect our laws and our country, waiting patiently, in line, often in their home countries, to get a chance to come here. Under this bill, illegal aliens will immediately be eligible for a"Z Visa" which allows them to work, go to school, and ? this is important ?stay here for the rest of their lives if they so choose because there is no limit on the number of times it can be renewed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. The bill gives the government only one business day to conduct a background check to determine whether an applicant is a criminal or a terrorist.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is impossible, of course, to determine in a single day whether someone is a terrorist or a criminal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. In the bill Section 601(g)(2), illegal-alien gang members would be eligible for amnesty merely by signing a "renunciation of gang affiliation&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;Gang-bangers and other criminals, who have been ordered to leave the United States by an immigration judge but defy the ruling, are called absconders.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Section 601(d)(1)(I) permits U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to grant an absconder a Z visa anyway if he can show that being forced to leave the United States "would result in extreme hardship" to the alien, his spouse, parent or child&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. The bill effectively shuts down our immigration-court system&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If an alien in the removal process is eligible for the Z visa, the immigration judge must close the proceedings and offer the alien the chance to apply for the amnesty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; If&lt;strong&gt; ICE officials apprehend an alien who appears eligible for the Z visa (in other words, just about any illegal alien), they can't detain him.Instead, ICE must help him apply for the Z visa&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rather than initiating removal proceedings, ICE will be initiating amnesty applications. It's like turning the Drug Enforcement Agency into a needle-distribution network.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. To qualify for the Z-visa amnesty, an illegal alien need only have a job (or be the parent, spouse, or child of someone with a job) and come up with a scrap of paper suggesting he was in the country before Jan. 1 of this year.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Any bank statement, pay stub, or similarly forge able record will do. * Expect a mass influx unlike anything this country has seen before, once the 12-month period for accepting Z visa applications begins. These rules are an open invitation to sneak in and present a fraudulent piece of paper indicating that you were already here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11. As promised, the bill will legalize most of the 12 million to 20million illegal aliens now in the country via a new "Z visa." Each would pay $3,000 - only slightly more than the going rate to be smuggled into America. This is not up front.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They will have eight years to pay it back. (that works out to a payment plan of $31.25 per month)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12. Supporters of the bill call the Z visa "temporary" - neglecting to mention that *it can be renewed indefinitely *until the visa holder dies&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thus, we have the country's first permanent temporary visa. On top of that, it's a super-visa - allowing the holder to work, attend college or do just about anything else. * Are you a law-abiding alien who's interested in switching to this privileged status? Sorry. Only illegal aliens can qualify.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13. The bill increases legal migration by at least 50 percent over the next decade* by granting green cards to all the remote relatives who are in the chain migration categories, a number estimated at 750,000 to 900,000a year&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is triple the current number of 250,000. Giving green cards to millions of additional relatives ensures that legal immigration will continue to grow as this larger pool of permanent residents brings in spouses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14. The bill claims that bench marks must be met before amnesty/guest-worker provisions go into effect&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But the bench marks fail to require that the U.S.-Mexico border be closed, fail to require that the border fence be completed as mandated by Congress in October and fail to require that the Department of Homeland Security implement the entry-exit visa system so Americans can know if visitors and guest workers actually leave. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The border security part of the bill calls for a 370-mile-long fence on the U.S./Mexico border. That is only half as long as the700-mile-long fence ordered by the Secure Fence Act passed overwhelmingly by Congress and ostentatiously signed by the president in front of TV cameras just before the November 2006 election.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15. Another bench mark is that "tools" will be provided to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs, including requirements for identification standards and an employee verification system&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;But the bill lacks a requirement that anybody actually use the tools&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*16. The costs of the Senate immigration bill are mind-boggling&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unbelievably, the Senate has made no attempt to estimate this costs or how to how to pay them. The &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector puts a potential price tag on this bill of $2.5 trillion, which is five times the cost of the Iraq war&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;17. At least 60 percent of illegal immigrants lack a high school diploma, which means they will work low-wage jobs, pay little or no income tax,and be heavy users of our schools and means-tested social benefits such as Medicaid, school lunches, Women, Infants and Children Program, subsidized housing, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and free legal counsel&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18. Fiscal costs would go up dramatically after amnesty recipients reach retirement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Each elderly low-skill immigrant imposes a net cost - that is benefits minus taxes - on U.S. taxpayers of about $17,000 per year*,according to the Heritage Foundation. These costs would hit Social Security and medicare at the very time Social Security is expected to go into crisis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;19. Section 413 calls on Congress to "accelerate the implementation" of the Security and Prosperity Partnership - announced by Bush in Waco, Texas's 2005 - so that the United States can "improve the standard of living in Mexico."&lt;/strong&gt; Do U.S. taxpayers want to take on the awesome economic burden of solving poverty problems in Mexico?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;20. The Senate immigration bill states that the United States want to increase access to credit for "poor and under-served populations inMexico," and expand efforts "to reduce the transaction costs of remittance flows" from the U.S. to Mexico now running at $23 billion a year&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is money made in the US but transferred out of our economy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21. The Senate bill also puts the United States into a "partnership"with Mexico for "increasing health care access for poor and under-served populations in Mexico," for "assisting Mexico in increasing its emergency and trauma health care facilities," and for "expanding prenatal care" in the border region. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do U.S. taxpayers want to take on the awesome economic burden of solving problems in Mexico?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;22. The Senate bill authorizes 4,000 new Border Patrol agents, but doesn't require that they be trained or deployed&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;23. &lt;strong&gt;Last but not least. Illegal Aliens will receive instate tuition&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Illegal aliens would receive a taxpayer subsidy worth tens of thousands of dollars and would be treated better than U.S. citizens from out of state, who must pay three to four times as much to attend college. In an era of limited educational resources and rising tuition, U.S. citizens, not aliens openly violating federal law, should be first in line to receive education subsidies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;24.Health standards ignored ? Z-Visa holders are not required to be given medical examinations and immunizations&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Z-Visa applicants and permanent residents are two peas off the same pod. Both can live in the USA as long as they want. Permanent residents are required to be given a medical examination and immunized but Z-Visa holders are not. All aliens,including Z-Visa holders should be required to be given medical examinations andimmunized. They are living and breathing in our country just as permanent residents. The health and safety issues are one and the same. TB or Leprosy anyone?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;25."There are no serious assimilation components to the legislation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Dual citizenship, naturalized Americans voting here and overseas, non-English classrooms and multilingual ballots all thrive, despite McCain-Kennedy's"comprehensive" scope. "Assimilation" appears only once in this legislation, and not until the 343rd of 347 pages. "Americanization"never emerges.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;26. The amnestee doesn't have to know squat in English to get probationary&lt;br /&gt;status or a Z visa&lt;/strong&gt;.* After four years when seeking to renew the Z visa the first time, he only has to take ? not pass, just take ? the naturalization language test or be on a waiting list for English classes. "Learn English" only happens after eight years, and then it's not actual mastery of the language.If this raises your blood pressure, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please contact your representatives&lt;/strong&gt;!*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;And the American population did just that.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Faxes came in flurries. Phone lines were tied up, and some Senators put "Voice mail" on their phone lines. Emails were sent to the point that a senator's email box rejected emails.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The message, by a 9 to 1 margin was-- You vote for this, don't bother coming home. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-3808645037557107661?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/3808645037557107661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=3808645037557107661&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/3808645037557107661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/3808645037557107661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/06/situation-as-i-see-it.html' title='The Situation as I see it.'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-6566376760782486986</id><published>2007-06-06T19:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-06T19:42:03.371-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Monday--try every day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/04/border_patrol.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/04/border_patrol.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2lypbm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/2lypbm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Excerpt)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.f379.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=nsquibbs@yumasun.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;BY NICOLE E. SQUIBBS, SUN STAFF WRITER&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 4, 2007 - 11:04PM&lt;br /&gt;Yuma area Border Patrol agents had their hands full Monday morning with rock and firebomb throwers, including an arsonist who started a fire in a wheat field, the patrol said. No agents were injured in any of the incidents that occurred near the U.S. Port of Entry at San Luis, Ariz., the patrol said, and the city's fire department put out the fire before it could spread. The first incident occurred at 1:20 a.m. about a half-mile east of the port, when agents encountered a group of five suspected illegal immigrants, who turned around and headed back to Mexico when they saw the agents. Once across the border, they began throwing rocks at the agents, who withdrew to a safe distance and contacted Mexican authorities, according to a Border Patrol news release. Ten minutes later, an agent saw a Molotov cocktail being thrown from Mexico over the international boundary fence about a mile west of the port of entry. It landed about 30 yards from the agent’s truck and burned out. Then, several people in Mexico threw rocks directly at the agent, who drove to a safe location behind the secondary fence and contacted Mexican authorities, the release said. _________________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; Honestly, I'm surprised that this is NEWS.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;WHY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since about 1990, Border Patrol Agents have had rocks, bottles, two by fours, and almost anything that can hurt you--hurled at them--every night.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The only time you heard anything about it was when --and after--an Agent was almost killed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These Illegal Aliens  have only contempt for any U S Lawman. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They know you can't touch them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;FROM a retired Agent, read the multitude of problems and obstacles that Agents face EVERY DAY!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zieve/060518"&gt;http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zieve/060518&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zieve/060605"&gt;http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zieve/060605&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/16087.html"&gt;http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/16087.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-6566376760782486986?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/6566376760782486986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=6566376760782486986&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/6566376760782486986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/6566376760782486986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/06/monday-try-every-day.html' title='Monday--try every day'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-127857234973400254</id><published>2007-05-23T14:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-23T14:47:20.599-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Visible heroes, then and now</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Seanpenn.jpg/270px-Seanpenn.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Seanpenn.jpg/270px-Seanpenn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2005/07/05/inside-dvd-dirtydozen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2005/07/05/inside-dvd-dirtydozen.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Born in &lt;a title="New York City" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City"&gt;New York City&lt;/a&gt;, the son of advertising executive Lamont Waltman Marvin and his wife Courtenay Washington Davidge,a fashion writer, &lt;strong&gt;Lee Marvin&lt;/strong&gt; (his birth name, contrary to some sources) attended St. Leo Preparatory College in &lt;a title="St. Leo, Florida" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Leo%2C_Florida"&gt;Saint Leo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Florida" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida"&gt;Florida&lt;/a&gt; (now known as &lt;a title="Saint Leo University" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Leo_University"&gt;Saint Leo University&lt;/a&gt;) after being thrown out of several schools for bad behavior. He left school to join the &lt;a title="U.S. 4th Marine Division" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._4th_Marine_Division"&gt;U.S. 4th Marine Division&lt;/a&gt;, serving as a &lt;a title="Sniper" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper"&gt;sniper&lt;/a&gt;. Marvin was wounded in action during the &lt;a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II"&gt;WWII&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Battle of Saipan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Saipan"&gt;battle of Saipan&lt;/a&gt;, eight months prior to the battle of &lt;a title="Iwo Jima" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwo_Jima"&gt;Iwo Jima&lt;/a&gt;. Most of his &lt;a title="Platoon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platoon"&gt;platoon&lt;/a&gt; were killed during the battle. This had a significant effect on Marvin for the rest of his life.He was sent home with a medical discharge and a rank of &lt;a title="Private First Class" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_First_Class"&gt;PFC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Marvin"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Marvin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Penn's personal life began to attract media attention when he married &lt;a title="Pop music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music"&gt;pop star&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Madonna (entertainer)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_%28entertainer%29"&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a title="1985" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985"&gt;1985&lt;/a&gt;. The relationship was marred by violent outbursts against the press, including one incident for which he was arrested for beating a &lt;a title="Photographer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographer"&gt;photographer&lt;/a&gt;. In the early days of their marriage, Madonna had said Penn was "the coolest guy in the universe." Later in the marriage, &lt;strong&gt;Penn was charged with felony domestic assault, &lt;/strong&gt;a charge for which he pleaded to a misdemeanor. After a divorce in &lt;a title="1989" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989"&gt;1989&lt;/a&gt;, Penn started a relationship with &lt;a title="Robin Wright Penn" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Wright_Penn"&gt;Robin Wright&lt;/a&gt;, with whom he had two children, daughter Dylan Frances (&lt;a title="1990" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990"&gt;1990&lt;/a&gt;) and son Hopper Jack (&lt;a title="1993" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993"&gt;1993&lt;/a&gt;), before they married in &lt;a title="1996" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996"&gt;1996&lt;/a&gt;. They live in &lt;a title="Ross, California" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross%2C_California"&gt;Ross, California&lt;/a&gt;. (On &lt;a title="The Daily Show" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Show"&gt;The Daily Show&lt;/a&gt; for January 18, 2007, Robin said she and Sean had been together "almost 20 years".)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Penn"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Penn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, Lee Marvin was a Marine [ You don't just "Show Up"--You have to earn your Eagle,Globe, and Anchor. In those days, the Drill Instructor could beat you half to death, and he would suffer no retribution] Marvin was involved in REAL LIFE WAR. He had "Been there".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contrast that to this piece of human waste, Sean Penn. [Incidentally, if you are an ENTERTAINER , and you use that venue to knock our country, our military, or our Country folk, you will damned sure never get another cent of my money.]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Penn has not done a thing except PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE, and constantly make an ass of himself, and demonstrate he hates America. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem I see is that Hollywood thinks it can write a script for life. To them, life is something you act in and you can claim you did it because you pretended to be a ______(fill in the blank).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington DC is a lot like that. The only REAL person I know is Congressman Duncan Hunter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Duncan Hunter went into the Army during Vietnam when people his age were thinking up frauds on how to avoid the draft, or beating feet into Canada. Duncan not only joined the Army, but he won a coveted position as a RANGER. He knew it would come--and he didn't run--and he was sent to Vietnam, and actually saw combat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rest of the pretender turds are mostly Anti-American. You check their voting records, and it looks like Anti-Life, PRO-ACLU, Anti-Family, PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN, Anti-Religion, PRO-ATHIEST. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, like Hollywood denizens, they think they can write a script and events and life will fall into place, and we will live happily ever after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh, yes, the current issues are: Support of the Troops ( &lt;strong&gt;Most of Congress has demonstrated that they are willing to let our Military be killed in Iraq by denying them weapons, pay , technology and supplies. Question their Patriotism... What Patriotism?)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ILLEGAL ALIENS. Congress IGNORES that IA's kill 1200Americans every month (What was that Soldiers killed last month in Iraq again?) They ignore the fact that the IA's IMPOSE their language and culture on US--the people who live out here in reality. They IGNORE the accounting figures that "Cheap Labor" costs us out here in Reality a couple of BILLION dollars every year. And how do they help us"? IN 2004, FOUR Agents from Temecula, California went out looking. In four days, they had collected 440 IA's. Did our Federal Government praise them? HELL NO! Congressman Joe BACA--DEMOCRAT..went to the head of the Border Patrol, applied pressure, and the collection not only ceased, but the Agents were "Restricted to Base".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-127857234973400254?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/127857234973400254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=127857234973400254&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/127857234973400254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/127857234973400254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/05/visible-heroes-then-and-now.html' title='Visible heroes, then and now'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-933783192813578102</id><published>2007-05-21T09:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-21T10:18:59.047-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Promises, Promises</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.ve3sy.com/scj/images/2007-01-01/6-wide-finished.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.ve3sy.com/scj/images/2007-01-01/6-wide-finished.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This morning, I called the Tucson office of Senator Jon Kyl, who has been pimping &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;" Immigration reform".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The call was answered by a pleasant staff worker named Matt. Matt was told that this "Immigration Reform" made me sick to my stomach. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Matt asked me what I found objectionable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My chief objection, although I could have went on for four hours. was that for many entrants, they will have an exemption from background checks, which means no one checks to see if they have a Criminal History. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Matt launched into a laundry list of all the enforcement provisions, provisions for technical upgrades, and added manpower. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Matt was told: What good is it to put 5,000, 10,000, or a 100,000 new Border Patrol agents on the border if you show them that if they do their job, they will be prosecuted and sued. Matt asked how that was. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I told him, you have two Agents sitting in prison, and they did not know they had hit the man they shot at. The man they shot at was a drug smuggler, who--by his family's statement--never carried drugs unless he had a gun with him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are promises of all kinds of enforcement. BUT, you gauge predicted performance of past &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;results. The recent 7 years shows a serious lack of enforcement of EXISTING laws that call for criminal penalties.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prove it? Carol Lam, fired federal prosecutor for Southern California, REFUSED to prosecute People Smugglers unless they had been apprehended TWELVE TIMES. Her claim to fame? She prosecuted Randy Cunnigham, who confessed--how hard is that?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, the "Immigration Reform" is like the photo above.

The Sergeant paired up with me, as in the South Central Los Angeles Office, you paired up at sundown instead of at 2200 hours--10 PM to Civilians. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are cruising the Firestone Area ( County of Los Angeles). We hear an officer running a plate, and he gives his location as 103rd and Central. That location was in the City of Los Angeles, where the Highway Patrol had traffic responsibilities on Freeway and County roads. The Firestone area is Unincorporated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Sergeant has me drive him to the Officer's location. He got out, had a conversation with the Officer, then returned. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After we drove away, he asks " What did you do growing up, I mean. like work"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;" I grew up on ranches and dairies".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"What did you do?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;" All kinds of things--ride after cattle,. milk cows, dig ditches..." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;" O K... You only dug those ditches on your dairy or your ranch?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yes.."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;" Well, you see, it is like you were hired to dig ditches for Farmer Jones. Farmer Smith is going by, sees you, and says" Hey-how would you like to come over to my place and dig a ditch out for me?" You say,"O K..who is going to pay me?" "Smith says " Farmer Jones is already paying you. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Sergeant continued. "You see, the State of California hired you to work thier farm, and dig their ditch. The people of the City of Los Angeles already pay taxes toward the Los Angeles Police Department. So, essntially, if you go off your beat, you are doing work for Smith when Jones hired you and is paying you." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm sure you are sitting there, wondering.."Where is he going?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. The VOTERS hire representatives to go to Congress for them. If this were a true Democracy, every voter would vote on every Bill and issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. The ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES are supposed to work for the majority of the people who voted for them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. It appears that they guys we hired are working for Farmer Smith (AKA Big Business, through their lobbyists)and Farmer Martinez ( Mexico, Central America, and the Illegal Aliens who snuck in here with their own agendas. And, don''t try to tell me " It's just work that Americans will not do")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-9115926272963105795?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/9115926272963105795/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=9115926272963105795&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/9115926272963105795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/9115926272963105795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/05/digging-ditches-for-farmer-jones.html' title='Digging ditches for Farmer Jones'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-7743412906368154631</id><published>2007-05-15T12:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T12:45:48.558-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Logical suggestion</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://democrats.assembly.ca.gov/members/a40/photos/photo024sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://democrats.assembly.ca.gov/members/a40/photos/photo024sm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The California Whack-job Liberal legislature has proposed a bill --AB 1634--to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;mandate spaying /neutering every pet at four months. It &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;puts every decision in the hands of local animal control. It is certain that rules will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and year to year. No one can live with that level of uncertainty.&lt;br /&gt;recognizes only organizations in existence on October 1, 2007, which casts the dog and cat worlds in stone on that date. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is whack-jobs spin on mandatory neutering:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Each year, almost one million unwanted and abandoned cats and dogs are born in the state of California. Left unspayed and un-neutered, these animals propagate far beyond the capacity of local shelters, animal rescue groups and the community to accommodate them. Shelters are often forced to euthanize young and healthy animals to make room for more; puppies and kittens are euthanized at the highest rate, twice as many cats than dogs. The financial costs to taxpayers, and the emotional toll suffered by shelter employees and the communities who take care of these animals are extremely high. Local governments spend more than $250 million each year to intake, care for, and ultimately kill over half of California’s unwanted animals.&lt;br /&gt;Legislation requiring spaying and neutering of cats and dogs is a reasonable, proven-effective and necessary means to greatly reduce the number of unwanted animals and the practice of euthanizing healthy adoptable animals in the state of California. For example, in 1995 the County of Santa Cruz implemented a mandatory spay and neuter ordinance in effort to reduce the high number of animals its shelters took in each year. By 2005, Santa Cruz County’s intake number had plummeted by 64%, from 14,000 to 5,000 animals, the majority of which were already spayed or neutered. The County realized significant improvements after only two years and its overall reduction is particularly notable since the County experienced a 15% human population growth during the same time period.&lt;br /&gt;It is medically proven that cats and dogs which are spayed or neutered live longer and healthier lives. Early spaying and neutering is recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association and advocated as “easier” to perform and “younger animals recover faster and with less pain.” Spaying and neutering also protects and improves the health and safety of California’s animals by reducing or eliminating a wide variety of health problems that are difficult and expensive to treat. The many health benefits include preventing unwanted pregnancies and devastating genetic conditions; reducing injury and death associated with aggressive behavior and the desire to stray; eliminating the risk and occurrence of cancer, tumors, cysts, hernias, infections and the development of other life-threatening diseases.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;_________________________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;O. K. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Bill is supposed to limit the nimber of cats and dogs. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To keep from having to neuter an animal, you will have to PROVE that it is either a Working Dog--Police K-9, or a show dog. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let's extend that logic: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How about, when you are 18, you get neutered...Unless...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can prove that you are a worthwhile citizen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Proof would include:&lt;br /&gt;...Enough funds in the bank to live on for life...OR&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...Proof of Employment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...A clear arrest record..one drug arrest makes neutering mandatory. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...Ability to speak English. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21602032-7743412906368154631?l=asphaltrooper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/feeds/7743412906368154631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21602032&amp;postID=7743412906368154631&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/7743412906368154631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21602032/posts/default/7743412906368154631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asphaltrooper.blogspot.com/2007/05/logical-suggestion.html' title='A Logical suggestion'/><author><name>Xroadcop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10963207329890484508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15925879965139186183'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602032.post-1686303925452019263</id><published>2007-05-12T19:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-12T19:54:31.954-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two Ignored Facts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://imgsrv.1010wins.com/image/DbGraphic/200705/529275.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.1010wins.com/image/DbGraphic/200705/529275.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;FACT #1&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These IslamoFascists were on their way to killing Lord knows how many people... yet, mush brained American idiots still mouth the phrase" But, they are the religion of peace".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fact #2.
