Keeping the Anti-Amnesty dream alive -- Bravo, Bunning!

I am so very proud to announce that one of Kentucky's two Senators is officially a champion of fighting amnesty for illegal aliens -- Bravo, Senator Bunning!! Thank you for representing this Kentuckian so well.

For those of you who don't follow the illegal immigration issue as closely, be advised that many Republican senators who backed down when it came time to take action on the McCain/Kennedy "comprehensive reform" this summer are now quietly backing piecemeal amendments instead. Sneaky and very un-Conservative of you, Senators!

Senator McConnell has yet to declare his intention. I would assume, based on his track record, that he will back these smaller amendments unless he hears from his Kentucky constituency. He will certainly be hearing from me tonight.

One of those aforementioned piecemeal amendments is coming up for a vote this week attached to a DoD funding bill. It's called the "DREAM Act" (Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors). A dream for illegals but a nightmare for citizens, if you ask me. This amnesty basically provides for an illegal to claim that he/she has been in the States since before their 16th birthday to claim public assistance/federal funds for college tuition. Nice, eh? VDare does a nice dissection of this amendment. Do yourself a big favor and read this post.

Where does your senator stand? Does he/she need to hear from you? If you are anti-amnesty, your senator probably DOES need to hear from you immediately. NumbersUSA will help you contact him/her for free. Take action; don't leave it up to those sneaky Republican senators to do the right thing... they are notorious for letting us down on this particular issue!

If this DREAM amendment doesn't get your blood boiling over the way illegal aliens are being treated to our tax dollars via social services and education, watch this News Channel 5 (KRGV in Texas) investigative report. It's a wake-up call for anyone living in Texas, that's for sure! My thanks to Tammy for sending this my way! ...By the way, Tammy, you're right; it did p*ss me off! ;-)

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
