Mexican Kids Daily Cross Texas Border for Free U.S. Paid Education

September 26, 2007 by 3 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

At the beginning of September, Channel 5 News revealed a shocking story in Roma, Texas. As their cameras chronicled, each morning dozens of Mexican kids are crossing the border from Mexico into the Texas border town of Roma to attend an American school, free of charge. You read that correctly. American tax money is funding the education of kids who actually live IN Mexico and who are illegally crossing the border every single day to attend U.S. schools. I have waited a suitable period of time to bring this story up, hoping that the national news sources will pick up on this absurd violation of our National sovereignty and misuse of our tax money… yet not a peep has been heard to my knowledge.

It is estimated that $4 million has been spent on Mexican kids just in Roma, Texas, alone. And no one really even knows how much has been thrown down the rat hole in other Texas border towns, not to mentions similar towns in other border states.

News Channel 5 reported on the 6th of September that these Mexican kids are getting a free education from US taxpayers because the county schools do not have very stringent residency requirements. (See video here)

Even more ridiculously, school administrators report that they aren’t even allowed to ask if a student is a U.S. citizen before admitting them to class.

The report also reveals that no one in the school system is even bothering to keep track of how many schools are giving a free education to children whose parents are not U.S. taxpayers.

Sacramento Bee Asks: Is Not Mentioning Race of Crime Suspects too PC?

September 25, 2007 by 4 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Now, here we have a very interesting debate about journalism, racism, crime and the new media on the internet. The Sacramento Bee has been forced to revisit a long standing, 15-year-old policy this week. It seems that for years the Bee has, for the most part, avoided mentioning the race of a suspected criminal in their crime coverage. They claimed that they only mentioned race when the story was “accompanied by a detailed physical description or when reporting a serial crime or when using police sketches of suspects.” Critics of the paper, however, claim this policy is merely a paean to PCism and this refusal of the paper to mention the race of a suspect makes the Bee’s coverage less than informative and has made it practically useless as a tool of assistance to the police.

As the Bee states in their editorial, “the issue’s volatility has ebbed and flowed, sometimes lying dormant for months only to arise anew in the wake of a particularly heinous crime.”

I am sure that “ebbed and flowed” is an understatement.

Recently, a particularly heinous crime has occurred that brought the Bee’s policy into question once again.

It’s burning white-hot now in the aftermath of the slaying in Sacramento of a young father and his 7-month-old son and the paper’s reluctance until several days had passed to provide racial descriptions of the suspects.

Obviously the Bee was bowing to PCism, of that there can be little doubt. Still, the PC debate is an old, boring one at this point and it seems practically a prerequisite that the lefty MSM is going to hamstring themselves by this PC nonsense.

That being as it may, though, the Bee is finding itself out reported by all the other news media in Sacramento. It seems they are the only ones with this ridiculous, PC policy and their reporting is suffering for it. And people are wondering why they should bother with the SacBee if they can get better, fuller coverage of the story elsewhere. This PCism is hurting them where it counts; in profits.

Even Oprah can’t save Obama

September 17, 2007 by

-By Michael M. Bates

Oprah Winfrey can shill for Barack Obama. She can host glitzy events and collect cash for him. She can campaign with him, maybe even do some commercials for him. What she can’t do is take a candidate who’s clearly not ready for the big leagues and make him a president.

Mrs. Obama’s recent revelation that her husband stinks was just one in a series of missteps. Earlier, there was Mr. Obama invading Pakistan, and meeting various dictators with no preconditions, and stating that as president he wouldn’t use nuclear weapons to fight terrorism “in any circumstance.”

Then there was his declaration that he’d immediately call the president of Canada to try to amend the North American Free Trade Agreement. That could be tough, as Canada doesn’t have a president.

La Raza Hispanic Activists More Desirable Than Patriot Minutemen in Kansas City

September 4, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Which would you find more desirable in your community: a group that advocates to abide by U.S. law, or one that advocates to break U.S. law? Well, leave it to an American newspaper to present a story as if a member of a group that advocates for America is a less desirable person in the community than a member of a group that promotes ideas against America. In a story on the La Raza Council’s threat to move their annual convention out of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Star has labeled the patriot group The Minutemen a “militant group” but nowhere is there harsh labels in their story for La Raza, the Hispanic illegal immigrant advocates. In fact, La Raza is treated like a completely respectable organization throughout the story with the Minutemen treated as if they should be something to be ashamed of.

In June, Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed Minuteman Civil Defense member Frances Semler to the Kansas City park board and this has caused the illegal immigrant advocates to threaten to take their convention business elsewhere.

The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.

As it turns out, this park board member is “controversial” because she wants Federal immigration laws enforced.

Encroaching Demands from a “Religion of Peace”

August 3, 2007 by

By Marie Jon’

America and the world at large are facing a threat that could impact our ways of life in many aspects. In America, the freedoms we enjoy — and our very lives — could well become just a memory in the near future.

Our Judeo-Christian beliefs are up against the tyrannical mindset of extremists within Islam. Some call it radical Islam. However, that is up for debate in the minds of many. Could it be that Islam itself is the inherent problem?

Islam’s holy book, the Koran, puts forth a message of hate and total intolerance. Those who are partakers of the faith of Islam are vehemently taught that all people who are not Muslim are infidels. Some within their differing Islamic faith often suffer at the hands of other practicing Muslims. All one has to do is look at Iraq to see the death toll of citizens come from Islamic people who kill their own — other Muslims — in the name of Jihad.

Who are the people who practice this faith living within our cities and towns? Are we in a state of dangerously naïve denial?

Excerpts from The Christian Science Monitor:

“In Europe, skylines reflect the rise of Islam”
By Isabelle de Pommereau, Correspondent

“After decades of worshiping in basements and courtyards, Muslims are building hundreds of new mosques across the continent.

“Where steeples once reigned: In Germany alone, 184 new mosques are under construction, including this one in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district.

“Wiesbaden, Germany — In the Rhine Valley city of Mannheim, the glittering minaret of Germany’s biggest mosque overshadows what was once the region’s most vibrant church, testifying to Muslims’ new confidence as Christian churches are closing down.

“Years ago, 180 sisters of the Catholic order of the Sisters of the Divine Savior were the pulse of the city. Today, eight remain. Every weekend, roughly 150 Roman Catholics attend mass at the Liebfrauen Church, while up to 3,000 Muslims throng the Yavuz-Sultan-Selim mosque. Since the mosque was opened in 1995, Muslim shops and youth centers have become a magnet for the Muslim community.

“Mannheim is not unique. Across Europe, the Continent’s fastest-growing religion is establishing its public presence after decades in basements and courtyards, changing not only the architectural look of cities, but also their social fabrics.

“Hailed by many as a sign of Muslim integration, the phenomenon is also feared as evidence of a parallel Islamic world threatening Europe’s Christian culture.

Islam America’s ‘Greatest Strength’?

July 27, 2007 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Outrageously, Newsweek has published a so-called “special report” in which Muslim Americans are called “one of this country’s greatest strengths,” but, Newsweek worries, that they are now ” vulnerable as never before.” Yes, America, as far as Newsweek is concerned it is YOU, not Islam, that is the problem and therein lies the main reason why the west seriously misunderstands the war in which we are engaged, and why we could lose it.

As to the first claim, Newsweek offers not a single reason in their report why Muslims might be one of our “greatest strengths,” but of the claim of how “vulnerable” they are, Newsweek drones on and on endlessly. Naturally, Newsweek puts the onus on Americans to bend over backward for Muslims, but doesn’t once take Muslims to task for their barbarities and radicalism.

This “special report” starts out with a Muslim American from Cleveland, Ohio demanding of George W. Bush at a meeting in that city that the US take stronger measures to stop anti-Muslim sentiment from spreading in this country. “It’s the young people I’m concerned with,” Fareed Siddiq gravely claims.

Yes, Mr. Siddiq. I agree. It is the young Muslims who we are all concerned with as they are the ones that are most liable to wage Jihad on their fellow Americans in answer to your Muslim causes across the globe as was seen with the Lackawana Six. So, yes, Mr. Siddiq, we worry about the Muslim youth, too… but for a different, more legitimate reason than you.

Siddiq’s bloviation is especially hypocritical in light of the fact that Pakistan, the country of his birth, is nearly as radical and supportive of Jihad across the world as Saudi Arabia with Pakistan ranking as one of the world’s most active terror exporting and supporting countries.

Newsweek goes on to claim that Muslims in the USA consider themselves “Americans”, not radical Muslims. But, Newsweek fails to bother balancing their report with so many easily found anti-western speeches by Muslim Imams across this country. From the Nation of Islam to the common Muslim Mosque radical speeches are far more common than Newsweek wants to let on. Granted the anti-western ranting here is not yet nearly as bad as it is in Europe, still, like elsewhere in the world, we see few Muslim Imams forcefully standing against terrorism and radical Islam.

New York Mayor Personally Hires Illegals for City Work… Where is the Media?

July 23, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Mayor George Darden, of Spring Valley, New York, is a Democrat who has been caught hiring illegal immigrants to work for his suburban village but you wouldn’t know he is a Democrat by the coverage his story is getting. In fact, of the several stories thus far, not one even mentions his Party. But, an even bigger mystery is why this story isn’t getting wider notice?

On the 17th this story of a Mayor of a New York city personally approaching illegal immigrants on street corners and hiring them to work for the village was first reported in local papers. It seems awfully shocking that an elected official would personally violate so many US immigration and work laws all at one time, yet no mention of the man’s Party has surfaced nor have we heard much from this story on a national level. How much hype would this story get from the AP, do you imagine, if this Mayor had been a Republican? And why has several days gone by with so few MSM outlets picking this story up? Perhaps that this Mayor isn’t a Republican the national media finds it less than compelling?

In any case, here is the meat of the thing:

Darden spoke after The Journal News reported that Felix Sandoval, an undocumented day laborer from Guatemala, identified Darden as the man who hired him and several friends for demolition work.

“He came on Sunday in his suit,” Sandoval said. “He came and he said to me, ‘Do you work?’ … He gave me a paper with how much he was going to pay us” _ $10 an hour.

Asked if he was sure it was Darden, Sandoval said yes and produced one of the mayor’s business cards from his wallet, the report said. The Journal News had first reported on Tuesday that illegal immigrants had been hired by the village for the project.

Seriously, imagine if this was a Republican Mayor?

My Diversity Disorder

July 15, 2007 by

-By Lee Culpepper

I felt sick when my doctor informed me that I am her only patient who vomits each time he hears the words “multiculturalism” and “diversity.” In fact, political correctness in general makes me queasy. Perhaps I’m a hypochondriac — anxiety over this possibility depresses me. Though my doctor did not prescribe a cure for my disorder, the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 decision – which struck down programs that considered race to make school assignments – may provide the remedy I need. In light of the justices’ ruling, ethnic realities appear so much clearer now.

With my family visiting over the Independence Day weekend, I realized that a white family — my white family — is made up of peculiar white individuals. No one in my family shares exactly the same views about anything. Our religious beliefs (while Christian) are not identical; our political interests are not the same; and our hobbies are different. We also pursued separate areas of education and have dissimilar careers. When all these obvious realities hit me at once, I started feeling dizzy.

I sat down to compose myself, but a heated debate that my brother, sister, and mom were having after dinner livened up the evening’s mood. I then realized something else — my white family is quite different than my wife’s white family. These kinds of debates never occur when her side of the family visits. Suddenly, I was lost in thought about how different most white families can be from other white families and how individuals within those families can be so different, too. I started worrying that diversity peddlers purposely ignore such obvious facts. Now, my lips were numb and I felt feverish.

Europe’s ‘Immigrant Problems’ Close to Boiling Point

July 13, 2007 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Islamofascism is fast over taking the immigrant communities of old Europe. Now, by “immigrant community” Europeans mean Muslim immigrants, of course. Whether they be Moroccans, or Africans or what have you, large segments of Europe’s immigrants are from Muslim countries and these insular communities are long past the point of being merely troublesome already having become an outright danger. It has been a long time coming, but some Europeans are finally getting to the point of having had enough. More and more are finally beginning to speak out. But Europe’s empty PC attitudes and platitudes are hard in dying.

We are all aware of the on going riots and mass car burnings in France, but what many Americans ate not aware of is the increasing violence and sexual abuse that is occurring amongst Europe’s most Islamicized immigrant communities. From Sweden, to Germany to the Netherlands, all across old Europe the danger, crime and poverty of their Muslim immigrant communities is growing exponentially every year.

I have written before of how England has seen an growing rise in sexual assaults and in the so-called honor killing, a brutal and barbaric practice where members of a girl’s own family will kill her if she is even seen in public with the “wrong” kind of man. But, England is by no means an isolated trouble spot. All of Europe is seeing the same thing.

Many in Europe are finally starting to wake up and see the threat that Islam presents a civilized society, but they are still too few and not able to sway policy to any great extent… yet.

“Historian” Says Jamestown Celebration ‘Risky’ Because US Founding Responsible For Slavery

May 16, 2007 by 3 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

In another sad example of self flagellation by western elitists, the Guardian Newspaper in England published a column on how we Americans (and our English cousins) should not celebrate the founding of Jamestown, the first Virginia colony, 400 years ago because of… you guessed it… slavery.

Here we have another elitist congratulating himself that he is “informed” enough to know that slavery makes the founding of the USA a blight on humanity instead of the great event it truly is. Another leftist who cannot bring himself to be proud of anything the west has been responsible for because there were some bad things mixed in with the good. In fact, the bad things make us such hypocrites, goes this type of thinking, that all the good should be discounted over it. (It is always in fashion for Europeans to look down on the US, isn’t it?)

Oprah Invites Accused Rapist to Show Premier, Media Celebrates

May 6, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago media were all agush on May 4th over the opening of Oprah Winfrey’s musical treatment of The Color Purple. Breathless were the reports of who was in attendance and star struck was the celeb watching as the limos pulled up in front of the Cadillac Palace Theatre in downtown Chicago.

But one “celebrity” that was invited by Oprah to attend the opening performance should raise eyebrows and should have spawned condemnation of Oprah Winfrey for his invitation; yet, the media was strangely silent about the impropriety of the invite.

A Muslim Student ‘Hero’ of VT Shootings?

April 21, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

It is possible — though I hope I am wrong — that we will soon be seeing all across the MSM the claim that one of the victims of the VT shooting was a “hero” who’s actions saved the life of at least one other student and the focus on this one “hero” student will probably be because of his religion. Unfortunately, the story you might soon be hearing doesn’t pass the test of logic, though, at least not enough to bestow “hero” status upon this victim. If we see this story ballyhooed, it will be just another sad and substance-less paean to Political Correctness, just an effort to find a Muslim that the MSM can turn into a hero in an absurd effort at “equal opportunity” which might cast into disrepute the true accomplishments of the life of a VT victim.

The story of Waleed Shaalan is like that of most of the other victims of the VT murderer. Just a fellow doing his best to succeed at his studies, get a degree, and make a better life for him and his family. That is a good enough deed in and of itself and needs no other embellishment to earn respect and admiration from anyone. But, an “anonymous” emailer is attempting to create for Waleed a higher status, that of “hero”, for something that this emailer is claiming he did in his last seconds of life.

Mr. Shaalan was badly wounded and lay beside the other student, who was not shot but played dead, as the gunman returned two times searching for signs of life. Just as the gunman noticed the student, Mr. Shaalan made a move to distract him, at which point he was shot a second time and died. The student believed that Mr. Shaalan purposefully distracted the shooter to save him, Mr. Dymond said.

Apparently this “anonymous survivor” is saying he believes that Mr. Shaalan moved to distract the killer on purpose to save the lives of those left alive in the classrom. Along with this “anonymous student” the Muslim Student Association of Virginia Tech is doing its level best to make Waleed into a “hero”.

Geraldo and O’Reilly Almost Come to Blows!! Both Lose Cool

April 6, 2007 by 2 Comments

Simply wow, is all I can say to the segment on last night’s O’Reilly Factor. Both of them lost their cool in the extreme.

O’Reilly screams that Geraldo wants “anarchy”, Geraldo yells that O’Reilly wants to take illegal aliens and “do something to them” over the story of a drunk illegal who killed two teenaged girls in a Virginia Beach car accident.

I have to say, in my opinion they were both wrong a little and right a little, but neither did his case any good by getting into a shouting match. O’Reilly made it solely an illegal alien issue, and Geraldo completely excused the illegals of all wrongs. O’Reilly had the better point, of course, but both tried to make it a single issue discussion with Geraldo accusing O’Rielly of, in effect, being a racist and O’Reilly screaming that Geraldo might not care about his own teenage girls.

They both lost their cool and looked like raving lunatics, as far as I am concerned.

PC Roundup – The Foolishness, Absurdities and Cultural Destruction of the Politically Correct

March 22, 2007 by 3 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

From time to time we all hear stories that reveals the stupidity of a dreaded PCism run amok. We hear the tales, shake our heads in disbelief and go about our day without taking much more notice of it afterward. It seems, as we hear of each case, that they are isolated stories, outrageous yes, but not interrelated. Perhaps, viewed as separate incidents, they really don’t mean much. Unfortunately, such incidents culminate to far more than merely incidental occasions.

Let’s just take a few incidents of the last week as examples to reveal the utterly vacuous nature of the Politically Correct, multiculturalism that has happened in both the US and England. The following are all examples of the kind of consequences of liberalism that damages society. We have one example that even ends up with the kind of unintended consequences that would horrify the very leftists who initiated the PCism in question.

From the silly…

NBC Sitcom, Andy Barker, P.I., Attacks Christians? Says Americans are Reactionary, Racists?

March 21, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Why is it that sitcoms always go for the cheapest gags? And why is it that those gags are always shibboleths of leftist ideas? Does Hollywood imagine that the left never does anything that can be made fun of? Apparently Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter of the new sitcom “Andy Barker, P.I.” don’t think so, anyway.

In the pilot episode for the new sitcom from NBC starring former Conan O’Brien sidekick Andy Richter, within the first few segments we get one joke that makes Christians out to be mean-spirited and another that presents Americans in general as being reactionary racists post 9/11. In fact, these two jokes are back to back.

In the pilot episode, the main character rents a storefront in a small strip mall styled complex to open his CPA business. He meets the video store Owner downstairs who takes him on a tour to give him the lay of the land of the other shops in the complex.

L.A. Times Obama-gasm: ‘Crisscrossed Cultural Divide’ As Child in Indonesia

March 19, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Why is it every time I see a newspulper headline about Barack Obama I envision the editors in near orgasmic delight over the “multiculturalism” they perceive in Obama, or the “connection” he has with all the peoples of the world? Or the near hero worship of his “clean and articulate” abilities they wallow in, for that matter? And how come I get a corresponding feeling that all I am getting is delightful puffs of air but no substance when I’m done reading the piece that goes with the sweetness and honey that is the headline?

Today’s L.A. Times delightful puff of Obama-gasm comes to us courtesy of Paul Watson, Times Staff Writer and honey-drippingly titled “As a child, Obama crossed a cultural divide in Indonesia”.

What we have today from the L.A. Times is a piece gushing with how Obama must understand the needs of Christians and Muslims because he went to a Muslim Madrasa school as a child as well as a Catholic school.

Obama’s White Ancestors Owned Slaves… More Is He ‘Black Enough’

March 2, 2007 by 7 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s white ancestors owned slaves. So says the research of William Addams Reitwiesner, “who works at the Library of Congress and practices genealogy in his spare time”, and who is featured in this morning’s edition of the Baltimore Sun.

Many people know that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas.

But an intriguing sliver of his family history has received almost no attention until now: it appears that forebears of his white mother owned slaves, according to genealogical research and Census records.

While reading this, my very first thought found me wondering how well this will sit with the Obama-isn’t-black-enough contingent?

It didn’t take long in the story to get the issue addressed.

Article Scolding Asian Racist, Misses Key Ingredient

An Asian Writer Copping Jesse Jackson’s Race-baiting Game Attacked By San Francisco Chronicle For ‘Why I Hate Blacks’ Article

There is a saying that is often bandied about by whites feigning what might be ridiculed as an American Black person’s defeatist demeanor. It is used when whites want to make fun of the kind of attitude that assumes everyone in power is somehow out to get you. It goes like this: “I’m tired of the white man keeping me down.” It’s an eye-rolling proclamation, but it is one that many whites assume is inculcated in Black Americans all across the country. Of course it is an unwelcome stereotype.

It is a stereotype, however, that has been adopted as reality in all too real a sense by American Universities and is posited as a raison d’etre for wasting time and money on things like “Black studies” programs. The sentiment is replicated in “Hispanic studies”, “Women’s studies”, and “Gay studies” in equal measures and with as much illegitimacy.

The (insert group here) is keeping you down so rebel against it. Be angry. “Speak truth to power”.

It’s clap-trap, of course.

Mexican Wives Plead for Husbands to Return to Mexico

February 26, 2007 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Think of yourself as a married American man. Imagine you and your wife have decided that you will sneak in to Canada because you feel you cannot do well in America, you cannot earn your fortune.

Now imagine you have been gone years. Perhaps you send money home once in a while. Though, otherwise you don’t do much about contacting your wife and kids. Still, even if you do your wife is raising your children alone. Your children have no memory of you. To them you are only a name on a money gram or a check.

Would your wife like this arrangement? Would you feel you were being a proper Father with this arrangement?

Or is it more likely that she would want you to come home? Don’t you think she would be sick and tired of your absence, even for the money?

Barack Obama, Not ‘Black Enough’?

February 21, 2007 by 6 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

(As heard on the Rush Limbaugh Show, Feb 20th, 2007)

A very interesting piece by Louis Chude-Sokei is featured in the L.A.Times today, titled Redefining ‘Black’ and centered upon the question of Barack Obama’s relative “blackness”.

Some of you may have noticed that Barack is not getting the automatic support from African American leaders that many assumed he would get since throwing his hat into the ring for the Democratic nomination for the presidency and Mr. Chude-Sokei makes an effort to inform us as to why this might be true. Unfortunately, while it has a few good points, it misses the mark in too many ways.

The main point, according to Chude-Sokei, is that Obama isn’t “black enough” to get the support of the standing Black American leadership because of his White/Hawaiian/African (meaning NOT African American, but real African) heritage.

This feeling of Obama not being “black enough” for Black American leaders to warm up to is, according to this piece, because of the growing community of immigrant blacks in the US who are not really African Americans in the way that black leaders prefer. Meaning that they aren’t Americans but immigrants and they are immigrants that do not kow-tow to black American prejudices and racial political demagoguery causing Black leaders to distrust them.

And also because the immigrants are often better educated, or interested in being so, than their native born American fellows.
