Free kibbles

President Bush announces plans for stepped up enforcement of existing laws against employing illegal aliens.

They can either switch to hiring legal workers or get busted.

President Bush signs new law expanding his power to wiretap suspected terrorists without a warrant.

UN calls for greater UN presence in Iraq, but the UN will resist the move. The UN resists itself?

Divorce lawyers using easy-pass records (which use RFID chips) to find cheaters. So you think that you have nothing to lose in the coming surveillance society?

Pat Buchanan sums up the folly of our political policy of titanic, liberal government, support by both parties. America is already starting to pay the piper for titanic government, yet the 2 parties grow government more each and every year, and supposedly intelligent people vote for them knowing full well the consequences will be the destruction of our country.

Boortz identifies the failings of the new ethics reform bill. This bill is obviously not much better than before, but it is better. More on the unethical Congress.

Political correctness is taking the danger out of boyhood, making weaker men.

Terrorists are teaming with drug cartels and piggybacking off the illegal alien industry. Legalizing drugs will stop this. The war on drugs just make the drug cartels richer and more powerful. It's interesting to note that these reports are from 2005 - i.e. Bush and Congress was well aware of this when they were pushing their amnesty bill.
