    Warning...Political Post (Part 2)

    Friday, May 4, 2007, 11:15 AM EST [Other]

    In the wake of my latest post, depicting the outrageous actions of those who have entered our country illegally, but then turn around and have the audacity to demand rights from it, I felt it appropriate to post an email I received from a friend of mine yesterday.  Granted, I can't proove that this email is authentic, because I cannot verify that it has not been tampered with. 

    However, aside from the numbers and sources used, it is still worth noting that there is growing concerns from our CITIZENS, here in our great land, of our own government's inability to contain a very real issue that is, and will continue to plague our younger generations until it is contained.

    It is time we opened our eyes to reality!!!  Let frenzy #2 begin...

    If this doesn't open your eyes... Nothing will!




    From the L. A. Times


    1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes.


    This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.


    2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

    3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.


    4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

    5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

    6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

    7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

    8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

    9. 21 radio stations in L. A. Are Spanish speaking.

    10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English.  3.9 million speak Spanish.  (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County)..

    (All the above from the Los Angeles Times)

    Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

    Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.

    The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/ year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ].

    The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE Number.

    29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country?


    We are fools for letting this continue.

    THE U.S. VS MEXICO



    On February 15, 1998 , the U.S. And Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum.  The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country.


    They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. Flags were held upside down.


    As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. Team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon.


    Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. Players before and after the match.


    The coach of the U.S. Team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

    Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts.  It's called affirmative action or racial privilege.


    The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent.


    Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status.


    Some examples are Exxon,Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Star-bucks and many more.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    Did you know ... That Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal Cases involving Mexican nationals?
    According to the L. A Times,


    Orange County, California is home to 275 Gangs with 17,000 members, 98% of which are Mexican and Asian.
    How's your county doing?

    According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide.


    A Wall Street Journal editorial, dated December 5, 1994, quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces."


    Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.

    Is education important to you?


    Here are the words of a teacher who spent 20 years in the Los Angeles School system:  "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English.


    Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."

    WHEN I WAS YOUNG

    I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island.  They wanted to learn English.  They wanted to breathe free.  They wanted to become Americans.  Now, far too many immigrants come here with demands.  They demand to be taught in their own language.  They demand special privileges .. affirmative action.  They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.

    Sports, Religion, and Politics...Part 2

    Monday, April 9, 2007, 05:36 PM EST [General]

    In these days of "political correctness" and individual rites, it has become more and more evident that it is impossible for athletes to talk about their faith in live interviews.  This was no more apparent than in an interview with this year's Masters winner, Zach Johnson.  In an interview with a CBS analyst after his improbable win on Sunday, Zach gave credit to Jesus, who he claimed was with him every step of the way.  So rather than CBS elaborate on the part faith played in his win, the analyst just simply turned it into a, "so how did you feel knowing Tiger was nipping at your heels" interview?  Network television has become more and more "hush hush" about faith and God.  Conversations are steered in another direction. 

     

    It seems as though God and Jesus have become "forbidden" words in today's society.  You can thank all your sponsors, all your neighbors, and your entire family...but if you thank God, networks seem to cringe.  Exactly what is it about revealing your faith and thanking God that is not "politically correct"?  You can talk about sex, pedophiles, and negativity...but let's not talk about those things that make our lives whole, and add substance to our lives.  What has happened to our society, that the things that bring our families together, and give us hope and faith, have been shut out of the public's view?  Instead, we are allowed to talk about those things that are related to money and greed.  Is it just me, or does this seem a little bit like DISCRIMINATION?!!!

    Mountain Climbers..The Most Selfish People On Earth?

    Sunday, February 25, 2007, 07:18 PM EST [General]

    Mountain climbing is one of the most rigorous and dangerous leisure pastimes anyone can tackle.  Mt. Everest has become famous for more than just the fact that it is the tallest peak on Earth.  The excavations to the summit have become legendary.  The brutal terrain, along with the ever changing and unpredictable weather, have made the mountain a graveyard for many who have attempted to tackle its summit.  Only the most experienced and seasoned climbers attempt to make that treck.

     

     It seems that in recent times, mountain climbing has made the headlines for rescuing stranded climbers, than it has for legendary escapades.  Mt. Hood Oregan has become famous over the past five years for the rescue efforts of those who attempt to climb the mountain in horrible conditions.  I recall reading and watching the news on a few occasions, just this year, about rescue efforts being made to search for lost or stranded climbers.  Of course, we all hope and pray that there will be happy news during these efforts.  However, let's take a look at another side to these stories, one that entails the expenses and danger that come to those who are putting forth those rescue efforts. 

    Each time a climber gets lost or is stranded, a search not only consists of manpower, but it consists of pulling resources from government agencies and sometimes even our military.  While are hope and our wish as that there will be a happy ending to the searches, it should be noted that there is a substantial danger to those who are leading the search efforts also.  This is no more evident than a search effort for stranded climbers in 2002, when a Blackhawk Helicopter was being used in the rescue efforts of some climbers who had fallen into a crevice.  The Blackhawk was flying to its altitude limits during this search.  Sometimes, at these altitudes, a downdraft occurs which can send a helicopter spinning out of control.  Well, that is exactly what happened.  The helicopter began twisting out of control before slamming to the ground, critically injuring one of the crewman on board. 

    It is worth mentioning here that the use of a Blackhawk Helicopter can run around $2,800 an hour to operate.  This doesn't include the manpower and other resources being used for this effort.  The only time those being rescued are forced to pay back some of that money, is if they are found to be negligent.  And even that caps out at $500 a piece. 

    In December 2006, there were three climbers who attempted to scale Mt. Hood.  They were caught in a terrible blizzard, which isn't uncommon this time of year, and subsequently lost their lives.  The rescue efforts, though desperate, were in vain.  In an exerpt from CNN News, Tom Kovacs, the former President of the Mountain Rescue Association had this to say...

    "Rescues on Mount Hood are primarily done by volunteers. The expenses for the sheriff's departments run about $1,500 to $2,000 a day, Kovacs said. The full-time deputies and crews provide the logistics to set up the search, and the volunteers do the bulk of the work in the field.  When the hypothetical cost of the unpaid volunteers is added, the price for a typical 18-hour rescue mission shoots up to about $8,000. In the more dangerous parts of Mount Hood, the typical rescue mission is two to three days, Kovacs said.  When helicopters from the military or Oregon National Guard are used, the cost can go up thousands of dollars. The smallest choppers run about $750 an hour, and the larger helicopters can easily cost more than $2,000 an hour, Kovacs said. Add to that overtime, meals and supplies, and the number keeps rising.  Part of the cost is covered by the military, because some helicopter use is considered basic training. Some states provide money to reimburse local authorities and donations contribute a portion of the cost, but whichever way you look at it, taxpayers foot much of the bill."

    Now, I may not be a smart man, but I have to wonder...just how smart is it to attempt to climb these monsters?  If it is such a big deal to climb these mountains, in peak blizzard season, then maybe we should make this a spectator sport.  Maybe we should charge admission for people to watch these selfish idiots attempt to have their day of glory, all at the expense of those who may very well be leading search efforts to find them later.  How else are these rescue efforts going to be funded?  I don't know, maybe it's just me...but it seems to me, that rescue efforts are only being made because of selfish and foolish decisions being made by "glory seekers".  Unfortunately, some will never know, and to those who lead these rescue missions, the glory of rescuing those who have been stranded become tainted, because they have basically just rescued idiots!!!

    Plea To Dusty!!

    Saturday, February 10, 2007, 09:46 PM EST [General]

    I'm sure there are many of you on this blogsite who are well aware of the problems between Dusty and I.  It has not been a secret.  I have recently tried to come to some sort of truce with Dusty...at which he has rejected my plea and has continued his hate toward me and those of my religious "right wing" beliefs.  I have NEVER thrown my religion in his face on a single blog on this site.  I have never called Dusty, nor anyone else on this blogsite a racist.  I haven't been perfect.  I have expressed anger toward Dusty...and toward others on this blogsite.  However, I don't think that makes me any different than any other person on this blogsite.  I have, however, been labeled a racist, a thug, a cracker, and a "must be Christian" by Dusty because I have dissented on his views about Barry Bonds.  The fact is, I was only commenting on the subject of the blog.  If there had been a blog who's subject was about Mark McGuire or Raffy Palmiero, he would have heard the same.  But there wasn't, so everyone heard my feelings about Bonds instead.  Somehow, that warranted a reply from Dusty labeling me as a racist cracker.  This is where our war of words started.  And it hasn't went away. 

    I posted a blog on how I believe Kobe's one game suspension for his flagrant elbow has been discussed more than it should have been.  In my blog, I made the statement that those who are Kobe supporters are also Bonds haters.  Well, if you had read my blog, you would have known what I meant by that title.  The title was meant to attract all sports fans, whether you support Kobe or not.  Sure, I'm just like everyone else.  I am excited to think that there would be many who would dissent from my view.  Of course, if you know Dusty that well, you would have known that he would not have been able to resist this blog...due to Kobe being the subject.  However, according to Dusty, I only created the blog in order to get hits.  Well, I thought that was the purpose in everyone writing a blog...was to get hits.  I could care less if it is one hit or 1000 hits.  I don't write very many blogs...as I don't have the time to do it.  I have not entered one single Fox Blogs contest....NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!  So that pretty much throws that theory of Dusty's right out the window. 

    Now, I have said that there are those on this blogsite, that I refer to as Kobe "bunghole sniffers".  I have said that they have their heads up Kobe's bunghole so far that they should know what his crap smells like.  Maybe that was uncalled for.  Maybe that was a little overboard.  However, I don't think that warrants getting my own religion thrown in my face.  Keep in mind...that I never called anyone out individually on this post.  Dusty came ranting and accusing me!!!  If you don't believe me, read the post...and then read the comments.  Sure, I probably said some things that were not very nice.  But that doesn't make me a bad person...and that certainly doesn't warrant Dusty throwing my own religion in my face. 

    Now..with all this being said...I'm not the only one to have had problems with Dusty.  I'm not going to name names....simply because the list is too long....and I don't want to bring up anyone else's name in this.  This is between Dusty and I.  Dusty has real issues with those who dissent from his view.  They automatically become "haters"!!  He then lights in with his many labels and accusations.  However, if I do the same, I immediately become a hypocrite and I get my Chrisitianity thrown back in my face.  Seems a little "hypocritical" to me....haay?!!!

    So with this being said...tonight I came to Dusty trying to reach a truce.  I asked him to start over from scratch.  In all actuality Dusty and I agree on most everything.  However, when the labeling and name calling began over a stupid Bonds blog....those agreements went out the window.  So when I came to him tonight, asking him to find a common ground, where we could start from scratch, here were his replies....and keep in mind, that my pleas for a truce were erased before I had the chance to copy and paste them...although he mysteriously enough left his up for everyone to see....here was some of Dusty's latest comments about me and my Kobe post....and also my plea replies from tonight...

    Dusty said...

    "The never ending amount of Kobe hate and outright lies on Kobe on this blog never cease to amuse me. Fatmaw's latest attack on Kobe and Kobe lover's outright accused us of racism and hatred for Barry Bonds. Holy Moley now, that's a reach of historical porportions. How that connect is made is beyond me. But his primary complaint, like so many Kobe haters, is that us Kobe fans never stop talking about him. And your point is what? Someone held a gun to your head and made you click on the Blog with Kobe in the name and made you post nasty hateful things back to us Kobe fans? Ya Know it's a free country. If you don't want to read about Kobe don't click on the Kobe writers blogs. Novel thought there huh?"

    fatmaw said...

     

    "Hey Dusty...so exactly how did I accuse ANYONE of racism. I accused you of accusing me of racism. But I have NEVER accused anyone of racism. I would like to see you post my quotes on that please!!!!

    And you totally read waaaaay too much into my post about Kobe and Barry. I'm not quite sure how you read it that way...you appeared to be the only one who did!!! You totally twisted that blog into something it wasn't meant to be...and I'm not quite sure how you did that!!

    Please post my racist quotes accusing you or ANYONE of racism!!!"

     

    I still haven't gotten those quotes, by the way

    Dusty said...

    "But the bottom line is exactly what Kris Kristofferson said...........

    "Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods,
    he believed in love and peace, never wore no shoes
    Long Hair, Beard and Sandals and a funky bunch of friends
    Reckon they'd just nail him up if he came down again.

    Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
    Who they can feel better than at any time they please,
    Someone doing something dirty decent folks can frown on
    If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself
    to me.

    Eggheads, cussing rednecks, cussing hippies for their hair...others laugh at staights who laugh at freaks who laugh at squares.......

    Some folks hate the whites who hate the blacks who hate the K-lan......most of us hate anything that we don't understand"

    LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHRISTIAN FAR RIGHT IN AMERICA TODAY.

    ZERO TOLERANCE
    ZERO FORGIVENESS
    ZERO ALLOWANCE FOR OTHERS RIGHT TO BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY THAN THEY BELIEVE

    THEY ARE THE MOST RACIST SEGMENT OF AMERICA. AND THEY DO NOT REPRESENT EVEN A MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS IN THIS COUNTRY DESPITE WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. THEY ARE NEITHER CHRISTIAN NOR RIGHT. THEY ARE THE ANTI CHRIST THE BIBLE WARNS US OF "WHICH WILL COME DRAPED IN THE ROPES AND THE WORDS OF THE FATHER BUT KNOW THEM FOR THE SERVANTS OF LUCIFER THAT THEY ARE"

    fatmaw said...

    "Dusty...I see you've deleted my comments again....and you've managed to throw my religion in my face once again...though I have never thrown it in yours.  Nice job!!  Why do you hate me so much?  What have I done that has made you attack my ideals and my religion so tenaciously?  Think about this...we were fine until I said something negative about Bonds.  Then you began with the labeling.  Am I wrong?  What happened that set that whole thing off?  Go ahead and delete this...that's fine.  I'm just copying them anyway.  So you know a blog's coming about this.  Just answer my questions.  I have a few for you.  Show you aren't afraid to answer.  Show you're willing to meet in the middle here.. 1.  When did I ever call you or anyone else racist.  I would like that quoted please. 2.  You never answered my question about Kobe vs. Artest and Wallace...and you know what my question was. 3.  Where does your content and hate for me come from? 4.  Why do you continue to throw my religion in my face when I have never thrown it in yours? I'm trying here Dusty.  I really am.  Now show me you're doing the same."

    Dusty said...

    "I've already explained quite succiently and quite factualy my objection to you using things like HANG HIM, I KNOW HE DID IT on bonds, I object to you comparing Kobe to Bonds, I object to you saying "all kobe lovers makes excuses for Kobe but hate bonds" when you KNOW that to NOT be fact. I object to people wearing the "christian label" on their sleeves but NEVER having any CHRISTIAN CHARITY or FORGIVENESS for ANYONE they don't like or anyone who likes them. Finally I object to be told that we "sniff Kobe's bunghole" not once but THREE times because we write about our favorite player who is a FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER, WHO VIRTUALLY ALL THE WRITERS AND PUNDITS AND SPORTSCASTERS SAY IS ONE OF THE TWO BEST PLAYERS IN THE GAME, NOBODY MADE YOU READ OUR BLOGS. YOU SIMPLY WENT HATING FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND USED BAD LIES TO JUSTIFY IT."

    Fatmaw said...

     

    "Dusty...I never used your name in any of my Kobe stuff.  You came in my blog and started your rants.  I have never said I was perfect.  If there is any Christian who does...they are a liar.  Stating my opinion does not make me a lying Christian.  The fact is...you don't like it when anyone dissents from you...especially me.   And where were my facts about Kobe wrong?  I guess Kobe is who you're referring too.  In my entire blog on Kobe and Barry...where was I wrong? 

     

    Dusty...I honestly believe we think more alike than you think.  Our biggest problem is basically with your support of Kobe and Barry...and my dissent from that.  If you want to base that on principle...then reread my blog again.  I honestly think you have misread it. 

    I realize I get angry....but it's only with you.  I'm not perfect...I never said I was.  I make mistakes.  But don't get so angry everytime I say something negative about Kobe or Barry.  That's just how I feel.  It doesn't make me racist...and it doesn't make me a thug.  I have said on many occasions that I believe Mark Mcguire and Raffy are just as much scum as Barry.  I don't have a problem forgiving.  But everyone must be held accountable for their sins or wrong doings if you will.  I honestly feel that Kobe got off scott free...just as I believe Barry is.  I also think that McGuire is.  I am still continuing to pay for things I have done wrong over the years.  Why should Kobe, Barry, or Mark be any different?  I forgive people all the time...and I certainly hope they forgive me.  I'm willing to start fresh here if you are willing to do the same.  All I'm asking is that you see that I'm not racist, and I'm really not that bad of a guy.  Do you think we can do that?"

    Dusty said...

    "I have nothing more to say to you Fatmaw. You have clearly, to me, exhibited the stereotypical, long since thought dead by me, old time Southern "I'm not racist BUT.....I'm a Christian BUT...........and everything that I as a black man who lived thru the times that you are so unwilling to act in a christian and adult manner that I was brought to believe that devout Christians would do, you offend me man. YOU did that blog knowing damn well I am a Kobe fan and I am the one on this blog that fought you to a standstill over Bond's civil rights vs your vigilante justice and YET you headline a blog that Kobe lovers are Bond haters and that we're all hypocrites and you're sick of people sniffing Kobe's bunghole and that was your words. You made your bed. Lie in it."

    And keep in mind, Dusty deleted some comments in there also....if he can find them...he's welcome to get them thrown back in there!!  I would welcome it....as I actually had support from another well established and respected blogger...whose name will not be brought into this.

    I hope everyone can see what has happened here.  I hope they can see Dusty for who he really is.  If anyone can quote me as being racist....or if anyone can quote me saying I'm perfect...I will be happy to concede.  Otherwise....I don't think I'm the one who's the hypocrite here!!!

    DUSTY....STOP THE MADNESS!!!!
