In honor of April Fools Day I decided to start off today with the biggest fool of them all, Democratice Committe Chairman Howard Dean. Thank God for him, and I really mean that, because he never ceases to make the Republican Party look great. Dean finally broke his silence yesterday about immigration, and just reiterated the fact that the Democrats have no plan for immigration, much like any other important topic in American today. During his speech, Dean accused the GOP of exploiting the issue of immigration and said they are using the hispanics as 'scapegoats.' Its safe to say that Dean disagree's with the House bill passed on Immigration, which is very tough on illegal immigrants.

"This is a nonsensical proposal put out by far right-wingers in the Republican Party who have been endorsed for re-election by the president of the United States," Dean said. "The president has a moral obligation to rein in the right-wing extremists in his party and stop this divisive rhetoric about immigrants."

Please. First of all Bush wants a guest worker program which man Republicans dont because they see it as amnesty, which it basically is. Secondly, the only thing devisive about immigration is the fact that illegal immigrants are here illegally, and they should not be here.

Nevertheless, Dean accused Bush and fellow Republicans of demagoguery in the immigration debate, saying it fit with a lont-standing pattern. He cited the president's opposition to the University of Michigan's affirmative-action program and Bush's decision to "pick on" homosexuals - an apparent reference to the gay marriage issue in the 2004 election.
"In 2006 its immigrants. That's what their strategy is on the Republican side: divide people, scapegoat them, set them aside, point the finger at them," Dean said. "Well, that may be good for the Republican Party, but its bad for American, and we're not going to do that."

Thats because your not going to be doing anything. Of course this is going to turn into a matter of racism, that whoever is against illegals hates hispanics, typical. I guess the majority of the country is racists since most Americans want the border protected and illegals out. Since Dean didnt mention one in his speech, I guess the Democratic strategy is "do nothing", just like it always is. [source mercurynews]




Here is a truly disturbing story. A Colorado High School principal has outlawed flying the American flag. He also outlawed any other flag because he thinks that they are being used in a bad way. Awwwww. Evidentally a bunch of kids decided to counter the pro-immigration protestes with one of their own, so I guess when they did so and brought out Old Glory, the school administration got a little upset.

Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said American Flags were brazenly waved in the faces of Hispanic students and in one case a Mexican flag was thrown into the face of another student.
"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

Gimme a friggin break. I have had to look at pictures and video of protests in American with the Mexican flag flown everywhere, and now some patriotic kids use the American flag as a statement and its wrong. What the hell is this guy thinking? Misguided patriotism? That must mean free speech he doesnt agree with. I cant imagine a better learning lesson for these kids than getting to voice their opinions. As long as they keep it peaceful, let them do what they gotta do. Isnt that America?[sources michellmalkin and seattle times]



I saw this on Michelle Malkin's blog and thought it was quite interesting. Appearently Air-Head America's ratings continue to go down the toilet. The station has been embattled throughout its two-year life span, and its pathetic exisitance proves that liberals have no following on talk radio.

Air America's ratings are down in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Diego and elsewhere. I mean if a liberal station cant get ratings in those cities then come on...give it up. Meanwhile, Conservative radio and especially Rush Limbaugh's program either held their ratings or saw substantial gains. Surprising? I think not. This ship is going down like the Titanic. See the actual numbers at radioequalizer.




Update Alert #2: This story just keeps getting better. Anyone who thought this wouldnt happen is crazy. Democratic Rep. Cynthia Mckinney who is accused of punching a US Capitol Police officer is now playing the race card and saying shes the victim.

Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr., said, "Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin."

Here is the best part:

"Ms. Mckinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black," Myart said. "Congresswoman Mckinney will be exonerated."

I dont know what actually happened in the scuffle, but this lady should be arrest for stupidity for using her race to try to get off. I have heard that she's been involved with problems like this in the past, so I find it hard to believe that a policeman singled her out for punishment while she did absolutely nothing wrong. I guess the new saying should be "better black than busted," instead of "better safe than sorry." I dont care what color you are, if you hit a cop then you go to jail. I sure as hell would if it were me. Again I dont know all the facts in the case, but race should have nothing to do with it. [source usatoday]
