Why your dollar won't buy what it used to
Your dollar has lost over 40% of purchasing power in 81 months. That’s 6% per year, year after year, with no end in sight, as the Fed keeps adding worthless Bucks to dilute what your already have.
A seemingly endless series of profligate, spendthrift Congresses (both parties) have spent our nation into total bankruptcy, a condition now being inherited by our innocent children, who through no fault of their own will live under this heavy burden all their lives, unless we all take up the fight for a Fresh Congress, populated with term limited patriotic public servants who put the nation ahead of their own personal careers.

A very significant link

A very significant Link has been added to our existing Links—among the most significant of those already there.
Readers are encouraged to seek out the Link “Forgotten Anniversary Haunts the Nation” for the dire message it conveys.
It may well be that we will be referring to it from time to time.

President Bush's misbegotten illegal immigration bill
Selective enforcement of the law — an impeachable offense?
Ann Coulter on Reagan and Rove
“Establishment Republicans all pretend to have seen Reagan’s genius at the time, but that’s a crock. They wanted to dump Reagan in favor of ‘electable’ Gerald Ford and ‘electable’ George Herbert Walker Bush. Newsweek reported in 1976 that Republican ‘party loyalists’ thought Reagan would produce ‘a Goldwater-style debacle.’
Scooter, the Border Guards and Our "Gallant" President
In a gross miscarriage of justice, a runamok Special Prosecutor whose name might have been Mike Nifong, and an outrageous hanging judge threw the book at Scooter Libby, exceeding sentencing guidelines, because Libby showed no remorse. And why should he show remorse when he knew he was innocent?

Why can’t we enforce existing laws?
Virginia's Representative Goode's Concurrent Resolution asking President Bush to enforce immigration laws
110th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. CON. RES. 119
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should immediately and unequivocally call for the enforcement of existing immigration laws in order to reduce the threat of a terrorist attack and to reduce the massive influx of illegal aliens into the United States.
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS — VIRGINIA'S VIRGIL GOODE, JR
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for your recent communication about the current Senate immigration legislation. Attached is a copy of H.Con.Res. 119, which sets forth what should be the policy of this country on illegal immigration and on amnesty for illegal aliens. I am vigorously opposed to illegal immigration and to amnesty under whatever dressed up name it may be called. Amnesty will encourage the invasion into this country by illegals to continue.
A Green Card in Every Pot
Americans—at least really stupid Americans like George Bush—believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy. On this view, most of the existing world and almost all of world history is a freakish aberration.
Neither Perfect nor Good
One of the Female Democrat Senators (not Hillary) said we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is an excuse for bad legislation I have heard many times.

Demand-Side Immigration Reform
In the initial debate over the Bush-Kennedy immigration deal, attention has focused on how this complex bill will impact immigration-law-breaking workers—the supply side of the unskilled labor market.
Neither Perfect nor Good
One of the Female Democrat Senators (not Hillary) said we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is an excuse for bad legislation I have heard many times.
We Need Compassion For Our Border Guards
President George W. Bush pardoned 16 criminals including five drug dealers at Christmastime, but so far has refused to pardon the two U.S. Border Patrol agents who were trying to defend Americans against drug smugglers. It makes us wonder which side the self-proclaimed “compassionate” President is on.

Oklahoma’s Republicans were not surprised that Mitt Romney did not do better in Tuesday evening’s GOP presidential debate.

Karl Rove Courting Radical, Racist Mexican Group
[C]ritics . . . see the irony of GOP members of the House holding “field” hearings with Americans about illegal aliens, border security, and terrorism, while members of the Bush White House are meeting with a group that advocates the return of several US states to Mexico as well as completely open borders with legal status for all.

Senate Bill Would Allow 100 Million New Legal Immigrants Over Next 20 Years
If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

Why is Bush so Stubborn?
Bush’s dogmatic statement that we can’t stop aliens from illegally entering our country unless legislation is packaged “together” with a guest-worker program is a non sequitur, nonsense, and untrue. So what gives?
BORDERING ON FRAUD, PART III
Some people are worried that amnesty will give illegal aliens the same rights that American citizens have. In reality, it will give the illegals more rights than the average American citizen.

BUSH'S IMMIGRATION SPEECH IS NOT CREDIBLE
“If President Bush had given his speech calling for immigration reform five years ago, we would have believed him. Now, after five years of doing nothing to protect our borders, he is not credible.”
BORDERING ON FRAUD
“The immigration bill before Congress has some of the most serious consequences for the future of this country. Yet it is not being discussed seriously by most politicians or most of the media. Instead, it is being discussed in a series of glib talking points that insult our intelligence.”
The President's Immigration Address
Throughout his address, the president kept referring to the immigrants and their rights and desires. What about those of us born in America, or who legally immigrated to this country? Do we have a right to preserve the nation the way it was handed down to us, with our English language, our culture and our loyalty to America first with no agenda other than this country?
Republicans and immigration
Maybe some recent polls will put some backbone into Senate Republicans. But don’t bet the rent money on it.
Bush's Immigration Conversion
Before the nation moves toward President Bush’s “comprehensive” approach to immigration reform, it must remember 1986. As Mr. Bush advocates now, Congress then combined citizenship for illegal migrants with greater enforcement. For lack of political will, however, enforcement barely happened.

GOP Immigration Stance Far From Reagan Reforms
LIE DOWN WITH STRIPPERS, WAKE UP WITH PLEAS
By Ann Coulter 4- 19-06

What the Country Absolutely Wants
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, excerpted from Fox News Sunday interview 4-17-06
I’m here to say as a Republican leader that the country tells us what they really want. I mean, the country is very clear about big issues.
Bush is out of touch with GOP regarding illegal immigration
Bush…gave the back of his hand to the 88 percent of Republican House Members who voted to secure our borders against the invasion of criminals, smugglers of illegal drugs with their armed escorts, smugglers of thirsty humans in crowded vans, and Other Than Mexicans who obviously aren’t coming here to pick strawberries.
Tom DeLay:: Victim of GOP Timidity
The most stunning aspect of Tom DeLay’s resignation from Congress isn’t that he was forced out by a wave of bad publicity that began with his indictment last September for breaking a law that wasn’t even on the books when DeLay allegedly violated it.
Destroying America
Gov. Schwarzenegger and millions upon millions of other people came to America at a time when the business-political structure was much different than it is now.

Initial Thoughts on the Supreme Court and Harriet Miers

by Rense Johnson, Chairman, Citizens for Term Limits
Why write about a Grinch and Christmas in early autumn?
Many folks do not realize that General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army (Heart to God, Hand to Man), was a 19th Century London contemporary of Karl Marx, founder of Godless Communism. Who knows—they might have been neighbors. Founded in 1865, Booth’s Army and its Christian warriors have outlived Marx and his atheistic teachings.
Conservatives versus RINOs
by Rense Johnson, Chairman, Citizens for Term Limits
In 1958, running for president, John Kennedy got a big laugh when he announced “I have just received the following wire from my generous daddy: ‘Dear Jack — Don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay for a landslide.’” And sure enough, the 1960 election was very, very close.
