How Do You Say "Equal Time" In Spanish?

Saturday, June 30th, 2007 by John W Lillpop


By John W. Lillpop

Leftist politicians keen on reinstating a "Fairness Doctrine" clearly have their sights set on Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity and other right-wing luminaries.

But once liberals open that particular can of worms, they may be less than thrilled at what comes crawling out.

For instance, Mexican DJ and former illegal alien Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo, native of Mexico, broadcasts from a Spanish language radio station in Los Angeles and is a strong advocate for illegal aliens.

Not satisfied with merely invading America himself, Piolín apparently believes that any Latino who wants to should be able to come to America, at will, without regard to U.S. borders or immigration laws.

Piolín's disdain for the rule of law even motivated him to travel from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in order to deliver what were alleged to be one million letters from amnesty supporters. Unfortunately for the politically naive DJ, the letters were all signed by illegal aliens and were in Spanish.

Even more embarrassing for Piolín, many of the boxes containing the "one million letters" he boasted so proudly of turned out to be empty.

After S 1639 was defeated in the U.S. Senate on June 28, Piolín's distress was palpable, leading the DJ to shed alligator tears from behind his live microphone while on the air.

The impact of Piolín's on-air histrionics with his base audience (mostly illegal aliens) is unclear.

However, it is obvious that he did provide scores of millions of patriotic, English speaking American citizens with a round of belly laughs and material for party toasts that are still being enjoyed in more sophisticated circles.

But back to the issue: How would a liberal "Fairness Doctrine" impact Spanish language stations like the one on which Piolín spews his pro-illegal alien, anti-American propaganda and race baiting?

Would that radio station be forced to provide equal time to a commentator who would remind his audience that illegal aliens do not belong in America and should, by law, be deported?

Would the inflammatory rhetoric used by Piolín to drive illegal aliens to the streets in order to demand non-existent "rights" be offset by a voice(s) of reason that would encourage young Latinos to stay in school?

In other words, before acting hastily liberals need to answer a crucial question: How do you say "equal time" in Spanish?

Fairness Doctrine? Bring It On!

Friday, June 29th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

At first glance, the Fairness Doctrine being floated by leftist fascists like Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and other enemies of free speech sounds prohibitive and scary.

But a real Fairness Doctrine might actually help if it included all media, television, newspapers, and radio, and if:

* When hiring reporters, editors, commentators, anchors, and other news staff, mainstream media venues were required to hire the exact same number of conservatives as liberals;

* For every Maureen Dowd column it publishes, the New York Times were required to run a current Ann Coulter column, of equal length, on the same page;

* PBS were required to follow the "Jim Lehrer News Hour" with a segment of "The Savage Nation;"

* To counter 60 Minutes featuring Mike Wallace, CBS were required run a show of equal time hosted by Michael Reagan;

* In order to avoid being excessively "one way," ABC were ordered to fire two leftist feminists from "The View" and replace them with Bay Buchanan and Phyllis Schlafly;

* Spanish-language broadcasts featuring pro-amnesty and open borders propaganda, were required to include an equal number of commentaries by those opposed to illegal immigration and in favor of immediate deportation of all illegals;

* Movie theaters running Michael Moore's Sicko were required to also run Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, at the same time;

* Air America were forced to run conservative talent to offset the likes of Randi Rhodes and other leftist nut cases posing as radio hosts;

* The Weather Channel were ordered to replace half of its global warming biased staff with skeptics who believe that global warming is only myth, unsubstantiated by real science, and

* Radio and television coverage of political conventions were completely balanced to assure equal coverage for liberal and conservative perspectives.

If administered fairly, the fairness doctrine could help to dislodge the liberal bias pervasive in newspapers, television, films, and radio.

In which case, Bring it on!

Why Not Give "Rule of Law" a Chance?

Friday, June 29th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

By John W. Lillpop

Now that another nail has been driven into the coffin of amnesty, politicians in Washington are wringing their hands in angst at what to do next. The status quo, they say, is unacceptable.

They are quite right about that, you know.

But America does NOT need to legalize 12-30 illegal aliens in order to solve the illegal alien nightmare.

Existing laws, while not perfect, provide a more than adequate remedy. Those laws prohibit U.S. employers from hiring illegal aliens and mandate deportation of those here illegally.

All that is lacking is a commitment on the part of the president and the U.S. Congress to uphold their constitutional responsibilities.

Why not try this simple formula?

* Secure the borders with military force;

* Prosecute employers who hire illegal aliens, and

* Enforce all immigration laws, including deportations.

Or, to steal and bastardize a slogan from past anti-war campaigns, "Give Rule of Law a Chance!"

America 53, Mexico 46! How SWEET It Is!

Thursday, June 28th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

Joy to the world!

Let me repeat that: JOY TO THE WORLD!

American patriots just received a huge birthday gift from the United States Senate and, along with it, a new reason to celebrate the 4th of July!

June 28, 2007 will go down in history as the date on which American citizens took the first step toward reclaiming our nation and ending the tyranny of those who do not give a damn about America.

Prodded to action by WE THE PEOPLE, 53 courageous and patriotic American senators said NADA! to the invasion of America by third world illegal aliens!

They said YES! to the rule of law and common sense!

They said NADA! to mindless amnesty for millions of invading illiterate criminals!

They said YES! to American sovereignty, homeland security, and preservation of American language and culture!

They said NADA! to officials from Mexico and huge corporate interests who thought they could buy the U.S. Senate!

They said YES! to enforcing border security and existing laws!

They said NADA! to La Raza and other Hispanic racist organizations, the ACLU, the DNC, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Lindsey Graham, John McCain.

And most especially, the United States Senate said NADA to the worst president in U.S. history, George W. Bush!

God Bless America!

And HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Gasoline Rationing in Iran? How SWEET It Is!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 by John W Lillpop


By John w. Lillpop

While President Bush and like minded evil doers in the Unites States Senate work overtime to obviate the rule of law in order to appease 12-30 million illiterate and illegal toilet bowl cleaners, fruit pickers, and operators of leaf blowers, there ARE other news items worthy of mention.

One of the most uplifting stories comes from Tehran, Iran, where it is reported that because of limited refining capacity, the government has decided to ration the amount of gasoline available to private vehicles.

Limited refining capacity? Iran sits on some of the largest and most valuable oil reserves in the world, and cannot meet its own gasoline needs?

Sounds as though Iran is suffering from the same sort of myopic vision and self-defeating idiocy that Democrats have used to destroy energy independence in the U.S!

Since when have the likes of Al Gore, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid et al. managed to infiltrate and influence energy policy within the Iranian government?

Meanwhile, average Iranians do not appear amused by the gasoline rationing kerfuffel.

Armed with torches, stones, and other instruments of free speech in the Muslim world, irate Iranians took to the streets to express their displeasure generally, and with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad specifically.

BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6243644.stm

What a pity things are just not working out for Mahmoud.

Perhaps the goofy Islamofascist should abandon all that inflammatory rhetoric about destroying Israel, and concentrate instead on domestic issues more germane to Iran's economy and well being.

Like installing additional refining capacity, for heaven's sake.

Given America's illegal alien problem and Iran's refining capacity issue, why not pursue a "triangulated" solution, one that solves both problems simultaneously?

For instance, the U.S. could ship several million illegal aliens to Iran to work as refinery laborers. Give them Halliburton employee badges and tell them to report to Ahmadinejad for free health care, food stamps, housing, education, and welfare.

Tell the illegals that all conversations must be in Arabic, tacos and burritos have never been heard of, and displaying tattoos is a felony punishable by being stoned to death!

How about that for a "win-win," W? Think it might lead to a bit of attrition from the U.S. back to Mexico?

One thing is certain: It makes about as much sense as the foolish amnesty bill now before congress!

Mr. President, Your Helicopter is Ready!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

Once the exclusive domain of leftist tweets like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, anti-war sentiment is spreading like wildfire into the camps of mainstream, respectable Republicans.

The latest senators to weigh in against the Bush surge are Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio and Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, both of whom are now on record as stating publicly that America needs to begin disengaging from the war in Iraq.

In addition, Republican members of the U.S. House have warned Bush that his idiotic and wrongheaded advocacy of amnesty for 12-30 million criminals may cause him to lose support for the war in the People's House.

With his presidency in shambles and his legacy as "The worst president in American history" all but set in concrete, is it not time for the president to face reality and spare the nation and the world 18 more months of grief?

From the disastrous war in Iraq, to the total and complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement at home, to out of control spending resulting in trillions of dollars in debt being dumped on the backs of future generations, and to inept and foolish mismanagement of foreign relations that has united the world against America, George W. Bush has done enough damage to America.

In 1974, America was confronted with a rascal in the White House by the name of Richard M. Nixon. For all his faults, Nixon was generally regard as an intelligent and capable man, unlike W-43.

Unfortunately, Nixon was also a despicable crook.

But in 1974, the Republican party was blessed to have a few leaders with cajones and a passion for America. Those noble Republicans walked into the White House at an appropriate time and let Nixon know that his time has elapsed and that, in the interests of the nation and himself, it was time to go.

To his credit, Richard M. Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning the presidency. On August 9, 1974, President Nixon boarded an Air Force helicopter on the lawn of the White House and made his way home to California.

America was grateful for the fact that our "national nightmare was over" and the healing process began immediately.

Today's challenge: Are there are any Republican senators and or house members with cajones?

America needs three of four patriots to deliver a Nixon-like message to George W. Bush namely, "Mr. President, Your Helicopter is Ready!"

By leaving now, Mr. Bush can accomplish the most noble and patriotic act of his presidency.

And America can begin healing.

Of Freeloaders and Scam Artists, Harry Reid and S 1639

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

June 26, 2007

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
United States Senate
Washington, D.C.

Dear Majority Leader Reid:

In 1993, America was overwhelmed by millions of aliens who defied our borders and immigration laws and came here unlawfully.

As a responsible steward of the United States Constitution and a dedicated patriot at the time, on August 5, 1993 you released the following statement to the floor of the U.S. Senate to the address the illegal alien crisis:

"In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country."

Your bill, titled the "Immigration Stabilization Act," would have overhauled the nation's immigration laws, and called for a massive scale-down of immigrants allowed into the country.

You went on to say, in part:

"Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs. The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement. Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care, and other benefits often without paying any taxes."

"Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally."

Specific provisions proposed by you in the Immigration Stabilization Act included:

* Reduced annual legal immigration levels. Relatives other than spouse or minor children admitted only if already on immigration waiting lists and their admission does not raise annual immigration levels above approved level.

* Reformed asylum rules to prevent aliens from entering the United States illegally under phony "asylum" claims.

* Expanded list of felonies considered "aggravated" felonies requiring exclusion and deportation of criminal aliens. Allows courts to order deportation at time of sentencing.

* Increased penalties for failing to depart or re-entering the United States after a final order of deportation order. Increases maximum penalties for visa fraud from five years to 10 years.

* Curtailed alien smuggling by authorizing interdiction and repatriation of aliens seeking to enter the United States unlawfully by sea. Increases penalties for alien smuggling.

* Added "alien smuggling" to the list of crimes subject to sanctions under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

* Expanded the categories of property that are forfeited when used to facilitate the smuggling or harboring of illegal aliens.

* Clarified that a person born in the United States to an alien mother who is not a lawful resident is not a U.S. citizen. This will eliminate incentive for pregnant alien women to enter the United States illegally, often at risk to mother and child, for the purpose of acquiring citizenship for the child and accompanying federal financial benefits.

* Mandated that aliens who cannot demonstrably support themselves without public or private assistance are excludable. This will prevent admission of aliens likely to be dependent on public financial support. This requirement extends to the sponsor of any family sponsored immigrant.

* Increased border security and patrol officer positions.

Unfortunately, Majority Leader Reid, America did not heed your warning in 1993.

As a result, the problems you described so eloquently in 1993 have grown completely out of control. America is now inundated with 12-30 million "freeloaders and scam artists."

Most distressing is the fact that, although our nation has been at war since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, millions of illegal aliens continue to invade America, seemingly at will, every year.

Unlike your excellent proposal in 1993, the so-called "comprehensive" immigration reform bill now before the senate is an amnesty bill.

Although one can quibble over the technical and legal definition of amnesty, the following description of S 1639 is irrefutable:

S 1639 would result in blanket and unconditional legalization of at least 12 million people who have ignored and violated U.S. borders and immigration laws.

That may not fit the exact definition of amnesty, but it is surely unwise, foolish, and perhaps even un-American.

America is supposed to operate under the rule of law, but S 1639 would ignore that principle of governance in order to legalize people who simply have no respect or regard for law, and who have no legal basis for being here.

In addition, of the 12 million or more illegal aliens currently here, how many are terrorists who harbor the goal of killing millions of innocent Americans?

How prudent is it to assume that there are no terrorists among those millions of illegal aliens? Has America reached the point where access to cheap labor is more important than homeland security?

S 1639 would legalize 12-30 million illegal aliens whom the federal government knows absolutely nothing about.

America simply cannot afford such a reckless and irresponsible policy in the name of "comprehensive" reform.

Majority Leader Reid, you were exactly right in 1993.

Please follow your original instincts and vote NO on this ill advised and very dangerous legislation.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

JOHN W LILLPOP
San Jose, California

Will George Bush Get His "Signing Ceremony"? At What Cost to America?

Monday, June 25th, 2007 by John W Lillpop

Picture the ugly scene, if you have the heart and or stomach:

A breaking news bulletin interrupts regular broadcasting during prime time. Television cameras zoom in on the White House where a historic piece of legislation is being about to become law by virtue of approval by President G.W. Bush.

At the center of the stage sits President Bush, smiling broadly at the Democrats and RINOs who made amnesty for illegal aliens possible. That would include Democrat senators Reid and Kennedy, and Republicans Graham and McCain. The U.S. House would be represented by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Sanchez sisters, and other advocates for illegal aliens.

With a stroke of his presidential pen, G. W. Bush will grant legal status to the 12-30 million illegal alien criminals who have invaded America since 1986, when wholesale amnesty was last granted. Once Bush is finished, former illegal aliens will comprise anywhere from 3-8% of the total United States population.

Nearly all of the “hardworking, goodhearted” illegal aliens that Bush will legalize will vote Democrat for the remainder of their lives, thereby effectively ending the two party system in America.

Mexicans still living in Mexico, but disenchanted with life there, will see the latest amnesty as a sure sign that invading America can be accomplished with impunity. It will be abundantly clear that America’s “conservative” president is adamant in his refusal to enforce U.S. borders and immigration laws.

Thus, scores of millions of additional illegal aliens will head north with little or no concern for U.S. borders and immigration laws.

George Bush will go down in history as the president who actively campaigned for the invasion of America by foreigners from a third-world nation. He will be remembered as the president who discarded American sovereignty, rule of law, language, and culture in exchange for cheap lettuce and fruit.

He will also be remembered as the president who sent American men and women 8,000 miles from home to fight for Iraq and Afghanistan, but who abandoned the American people at our southern border.

USA Socks Mexico–In Soccer! Viva America!

In what must surely be a good omen concerning the fate of amnesty in the U.S. Senate, the United States outsmarted and outplayed Mexico to win the Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean.

The match, played in Chicago, was won by the Americans by a 2-1 margin.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=221089&cc=4716

A summary of the game was FAXED to all 100 United States Senators to remind them of America's superiority in soccer and of the urgent need to keep it that way.

The following cover letter was included:

Dear Senator __________:

Heard the great news from Chicago today?

The United States extended its utter and complete dominance over Mexico in world soccer play. The "good guys" throttled the bad ones 2-1, in a thrilling contest with particular relevance in today's heated debate about amnesty for criminals.

The salient point, senator, is that amnesty would dump 12-30 million additional potential soccer players into the U.S.

However, most illegal aliens are incapable of abandoning their emotional ties to third world Mexico, and cannot be trusted to defend the Red, White, and Blue.

Therefore, in the best interest of continued U.S. dominance in the critical world of soccer, I urge you to vote NO! against cloture and NO! against amnesty, should it make it to the senate floor.

There is an overarching truth and principle involved here:

We don't need no stinkin' Mexicans to win at soccer!

Sincerely,

John Lillpop

There Ain't No ~ In San Hose, Mate!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007 by John W Lillpop

Living here in San Hose, California can cause a serious challenge to one's sanity, especially to those of us determined to preserve American history, culture, and language.

Of course, liberals scoff at the notion that good old-fashioned American values are worth preserving. In the mind of the average liberal, America is great only because of random luck or serendipity, and not because of cultural excellence.

Which explains why liberals are so desperate to push multiculturalism, bilingual education, and diversity down the throats of the American people. Leftists simply do not believe in the inherent superiority of our values and way of life.

But American culture is why America is number 1 in technology, innovation, education, standard of living, religious freedom, war making capability, and fast food efficiency.

Granted, multiculturalism and other socialist double talk may be of value to those raised in lesser cultures.

But when you are as good as we are, you don't need no stinkin' diversity!
Yet every once in a while, a cultural misfit crashes the scene and imposes some
arcane tradition on what is otherwise the most enlightened and sophisticated culture in recorded human history.

Such is the case with the ~.

Because of the influx of illegal aliens, that damned ~ is cropping up everywhere here in San Hose.

San Jose~ Welfare Services, San Jose~ Center for Identity Fraud, San Jose~ ACLU, and other services intended for illegal aliens are identified with the ~ marking. Its ~ this, and ~ that!, everywhere!

But the ~ trend is very denigrating to American culture, and is an insult to gringos and crackers everywhere.

As one who seldom accepts anything at face value, I recently decided to fight back against the ~ atrocity.

I did so by changing all of my personal stationery, checks, return address labels, e-mail accounts, and bank records so that my address is listed as: San Hose, California.

When asked about the bastardized spelling by banks and retailers, I simply grin and reply, "There ain't no ~ in Hose, mate!"
