Snippets - September 30th, 2006

• World Net Daily Exclusive - Charged with molesting a 12-year-old girl, Juan Leonardo Qunitero had been deported back to Mexico in 1999 as an illegal alien. Nevertheless, last week, he was back in the U.S., living comfortably in a city that prohibited police from asking anyone about their immigration status. [These are the individuals that will be included in the blanket amnesty program initiated by President Bush and put forth in writing and passed the Senate in Congress] WND gives a list of law enforcement officers killed by illegal immigrants:

Legislation Update - September 30th, 2006

• The Private Property Rights Implementation Act of 2005, H.R. 4772, introduced in the House by Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) and Bart Gordon (D-Tennessee) will ensure the right of private property owners to recover losses incurred as a result of an infringement on their Fifth Amendment rights; a bill that would simplify and expedite access to the federal courts for injured parties whose rights and privileges under the United States Constitution have been deprived by final actions of federal agencies. The House of Representatives will vote on this measure before they leave Washington this week and they need to hear from you. Last year, the Supreme Court decided in the San Remo case that property rights plaintiffs who bring their claims to state court are prohibited from going before the federal court upon seeking further review. This means that individuals seeking recovery for Fifth Amendment property rights violations never can be heard at the federal level, from whence the Fifth Amendment came and applies.

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.

It:

1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail.
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you.
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment.
6. Causes you to hit “SEND” before you’ve finished.
7. Causes you to hit “DELETE” instead of “SEND”.
8. Causes you to hit “SEND” when you should “DELETE”.

It is called the “C-Nile Virus”.

New Living Will Form

House and Senate Pass Military Commissions Act of 2006

The House of Representatives passed a bill on September 27^th that would set up special military tribunals to try enemy combatants. The bill was enacted after the Supreme Court decision in June of this year that stated that the President could set up military commissions to try terror suspects, but only if Congress authorized tribunals. The tribunals make sense because terrorists are basically prisoners of war, but prisoners of not a combat unit under the flag of any specific nation and are not uniformed. Therefore, under the Geneva Conventions article under spies, saboteurs and persons who have committed or plan to commit crimes against humanity, required to have special trail called a tribunal.

The Left has been whining about rights of the prisoners of the War against Terrorism in the form of ACLU and international human rights organizations and the American Left has moaned about Constitutional law. But in the case of the U.S. Constitution, the only laws and rights of liberty there that apply are those terrorists or members of terrorist organizations who are U.S. citizens. And, because of these circumstances, they should not be tried in a civil court, but a military tribunal under the UCMJ and international treaty agreements, the United Nations and Geneva Conventions accords.

Correction - Myth Blaster “Koran 9-11″

A clerical/information mistake has been pointed out and has been corrected concerning a myth blasted e-mail. The error was pointed out by a reader, James (from?) in a comment.

I apologize for the error.

Alert - Amnesty and Election Day

As elections approach on November 7^th, Congress will be adjourned. CFIF estimates that more than 100,000 illegal immigrants will attempt to cross our southern border by Election Day. This, of course, is estimated from figures of past occurrences. And, as in the past, some of those illegal immigrants will get through. Once here, they will melt into the American population confident that there are no longer searches within business organizations for illegal immigrants living and working here – because the American government doesn’t enforce its own laws. Some states have taken action on their own and have performed raids and created laws that will fine anyone employing or renting to illegal immigrants.

Standing by and Observing the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Finally someone is printing something positive about the liberty of the Second Amendment.

Mary Katherine Ham, in her article, Chicks Carrying Guns and Kicking Tail, she writes:

No, I didn’t write that headline just to get you to click through to my column. All right, maybe I did a little, but there really is no better way to describe it. Over the past couple weeks, there have been a couple stories floating around that just warmed my little heart, but they didn’t get a lot of attention, so I have decided to give them plenty. Do you wonder what kind of story it takes to warm my cold, conservative heart? Well, wonder no longer.
This is the kind of headline I’m talking about.
Woman Kills Intruder With Bare Hands

Bibliotheca - “How The West Was Won” by Richard Mgrdechian

   I am in total agreement with Richard Mgrdechian’s article How the Left Was Won – based upon the book of the same name …

Let’s face it, when you get right down to it, all of liberalism is fueled by a singular strategy—a strategy which has been continually perfected and relentlessly executed over the past forty years. That strategy is to promote and exploit divisiveness.
Everything liberal politicians do is based on this simple principle. Tell the people that are given to hating the most, that they are the ones who are hated. Tell the people who expect the most, that they deserve more. Tell blacks to hate whites. Tell women to hate men. Tell the lazy to hate the motivated. Tell the poor that only conservatives are rich, and then be sure to tell them to hate them for it.

Snippets - Pham, Limbaugh, Prelutsky and Tucker: Terrorism and Islam

• J. Peter Pham – “According to one Congressional Research Service report, “from 1991, when Osama bin Laden was based in Sudan, al-Qaeda has been building a network of Islamist groups in both the Horn of Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia) and East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda).” The report went on to suggest that, as it did in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the 1990s, the terrorist group and its allies would exploit poverty, ethnic and religious tensions, porous borders, and ineffective (and often corrupt) government officials to create a “terror center” in East Africa. … While some have argued that this “al-Qaeda-type” of militant Islamism will find little traction among the relatively permissive Muslims of East Africa, it is hard to dismiss the anti-American sermons preached on many Fridays in Nairobi’s landmark Jamia Mosque and other Muslim places of worships, especially in the city’s Eastleigh neighborhood. The Jamia Mosque, incidentally, played host to the Dalsan operation which, as I noted in last week’s column, contributed significantly to the victory of the Islamists in Somalia. In fact, Kenya’s proximity to Somalia is part of the problem: the ease with which radicals from the latter country—ungoverned except where the Islamists hold sway—can enter Kenya and hide within the large community of ethnic kin hampers policing efforts. And the security challenge for Kenyan authorities was aggravated just this past weekend when the key Somali port of Kismayo, just over the border from Kenya, fell to advancing Islamist militias. Furthermore, there is also the increasing activism of and support for the Islamic Party of Kenya, a political group not recognized by the electoral commission because it violates the secular nature of the Kenya constitution, but which nonetheless advocates the adoption of sharia in Kenya.
