There's Something About U.S. Attorney John Sutton

...and maybe even Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, but this stinks on ice:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's minor boy inmates.

Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties.

Ray Brookins, one of the officials named in the report, was a Texas prison guard before being hired at the youth commission school. As a prison guard, Brookins had a history of disciplinary and petty criminal records dating back 21 years. He retained his job despite charges of using pornography on the job, including viewing nude photos of men and women on state computers.

The Texas Youth commission controversy traces back to a criminal investigation conducted in 2005 by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski. The investigation revealed key employees at the West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas, were systematically abusing youth inmates in their custody.

Burzynski presented his findings to the attorney general in Texas, to the U.S. Attorney Sutton, and to the Department of Justice civil rights division. From all three, Burzynski received no interest in prosecuting the alleged sexual offenses.

If this story is true, and I have no reason to doubt Jerome Corsi, who's done magnificent work in the past, then Gonzales is probably gone real soon and Sutton needs to be gone yesterday. You may or may not remember that Sutton is the one responsible for the imprisonment of three border guards under dubious circumstances. All you need to do is go to the above linked article and scroll down to previous articles written by Jerome Corsi.

Be sure to read the rest of the above piece, and be sure to follow all of Corsi's investigative reports...he's on top of what's going on with the border agents as well as the SPP.

Schlafly's "Must Ask" questions for All Presidential Candidates

Phyllis Schlafly doesn't pull any punches in her Eagle Forum commentaries. This one posts questions which need to be asked to everyone running for president. Here are some of them:

Do you consider it a presidential duty to prevent illegal entry into our country?

Will you use whatever means necessary to close our borders to illegal aliens and illegal drugs, including electronic fences and National Guard troops?

Since most illegal drugs come across our southern border, will you require visual inspection of the contents of at least 50 percent of trucks coming across our border (instead of just 1 percent to 2 percent)?

What is your plan to stop the entry of 85 percent of illegal drugs that come over our southern border?

Will you pardon the two Border Patrol agents who stopped an illegal alien from bringing in a million dollars worth of illegal drugs, and now face 11- and 12-year sentences while the drug smuggler was given immunity from prosecution?

Last year, the Senate passed the Secure Fence Act 80-19, the House passed it 283-138, and we saw President Bush on television signing it into law. Now we are told the fence will never be built. Do you intend to obey the Secure Fence Act and order a fence built on our southern border?

Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens on a path to citizenship without going home and getting in line for lawful immigration?

Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens into our Social Security system under the State Department plan called "totalization"? That would bankrupt the system just when baby boomers are retiring.
In the 109th Congress, McCain co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, S.2611, a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill supported by the Bush administration that included provisions calling for "guest workers" and a "pathway to citizenship."

Let the questioning begin!

What Global Conspiracy?

According to the rest of the world, planet earth will soon be banning the common light bulb.

Good grief...wake up, people!

McCain Warns Against Spread of Socialism

Finally...a politician who has the cahones to warn us against the spread of socialism. Thank you John McCain! It's about time one of our brave presidential wannabes takes a firm stand against the onslaught of socialism in this country.

O' wait, he's talking about Latin America...nevermind...

FBI: Extremists seek school bus work

This is rich and it's not getting as much exposure as you would hope, mainly because it was "dumped" last Friday afternoon which is what you do when you don't want stuff to make big headlines. (I think it was the Clintons who discovered this effective technique.) It's Friday...who cares what happens! There could be a nuclear war in the works, but hey, the weekend has arrived!

The FBI has let it be known that certain extremists are seeking school bus work. That's right, extremists! There are extremists seeking out jobs as school bus drivers to drive our little ones to and from school. But they are quick to mention that there's nothing to worry about and no one is in danger, nor did they think it necessary to let us know where this is happening.

Whew!!! What a relief! It's so great to have a caring government watching over us.

I wonder if these are "extremists" of the Branch Davidian variety or maybe just PETA extremists. There was no mention of what type of extremists were looking for these bus driving jobs or why they might be interested in driving school busses. Did they mean radical Islamists or were they referring to the radical Amish or the extreme Hasidim Jews? No matter...if our trusted government tells us there's nothing to worry about, then there's nothing to worry about. Whatever brand of extremists these guys are, they must be completely innocuous or else the FBI would be alerting us, wouldn't they?

Wouldn't they?

Czech prez: "Environmentalism is the new communism"

Hooray for Czech President Vaclav Klaus for saying that environmentalism is the new communism. Rush Limbaugh has been saying this for years and it's refreshing to hear an intelligent and courageous head of state finally speak out on this global transfer of (our) wealth.

President Klaus is no stranger to communism or the tactics they use to get their way.

"As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants," said Klaus, responding to questions posed by the two lawmakers. "Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism."

It's a pity more of our own "leaders" won't speak out on this bogus issue.

Prager: Compassion and the Decline of America

There's an awfully good piece by Dennis Prager at Townhall.com titled, Compassion and the Decline of America. It speaks volumes as to what is going on in our Politically Correct society. It's one of those must reads that I assign you every now and then. So what have you been waiting for...go and read the aforementioned piece and then get back here post-haste for an important commentary!

Assuming you read Prager's piece, I'm going to let you in on my take in the whole matter of compassion and political correctness and what it's doing to our society.

I would go so far as to say it's the reason George W. Bush is a public relations nightmare! You see, he can't just come out and tell America that we're going to root out the Islamofascists and kill as many of them as we can before they kill us. He can't say that we will be victorious at any cost and will not accept anything less than victory in this war against evil terrorists. He can't say that we are fighting against evil scum who hide behind women and children and barricade themselves in hospitals and mosques. He just can't publicly say these things even though they are true.

Why? Because the upside down, perverted politically correct world makes us, Western Civilization, the bad guy and the enemy, and we can't call our enemies (who have become the so-called victims by the leftist media) the "bad guy." That's how upside down this world has become and the Bush administration hasn't the guts to break through this PC crappola to call a spade a spade (can you say that, or does that have some racial innuendo to it....see what we've wrought?!!!)

My point is this: we will never win another war until we can openly speak of victory over our enemies, who by their very nature are evil (by virtue of them killing our innocent women and children in terrorist attacks). Sadly, there are so many who believe we are no better than our enemies; or worse, that they are better than we.

Think about that!

White House Seeking Gonzales Replacements--Huh?

This is from Politico.com...White House Seeking Gonzales Replacements.

What in the world is the Bush administration thinking? Why do they try to make nice with the ravenous dems at every turn? When has this so-called New Tone ever worked? Give them one sacrificial lamb and they will demand another and yet another and another, until they get what they really want; Bush's total demise! These people are ruthless and they don't have the best interest of this country in mind. Quite the contrary!

You would think and hope that the Bush people would have a clue by now and commence fighting back. Or is this the tactic whereby this country is given over to global socialism. You DO know that's where this is going don't you?

What do you think is going on at the borders? Why do you think we allow Mexico's president to chide us for our threat to do something about the borders (we haven't really done anything have we)? Why do you think the left insists that we do something right this second about global warming (i.e. tax our "egregious" use of natural resources and turn our entire economy upside down...which would amount to the ultimate transference of our wealth to third and fourth world nations; ergo, socialism)? Why do you think that the Bush administration and virtually all other world governments put credibility in the failed and corrupt United Nations? Why do you think the republicans have been silenced or have sided with the socialist left? Why do you think some on the Supreme Court are obsessed with international law? Why do you think the homosexual agenda has infiltrated government schools, academia, big government, big entertainment to the point where it is virtually a crime to call homosexuality immoral? Why do you think American history is being revised to exclude our Christian roots? Why do you think Christians are the only group which are allowed to be marginalized and made fun of (besides white straight guys)? Why is all this, and more, happening and why now?

Is any of this making sense to you yet? Have you really thought about what is happening to this country right before our very eyes?

You may be one of those who are watching what is going on. Good for you...keep watching! Stay alert! Be ever vigilant because we are living in uniquely dangerous times.

A Pre-emptive PC Move to mollify Muslims

Did you hear about this ridiculous decision aimed to pacify the Muslims before there was even a complaint?

Check it out! The 'Three Little Pigs' has been changed to Three Little Puppies just to make sure Muslims wouldn't be offended.

Dallas Legend Wilford "Crazy Ray" Jones dead at 76

Crazy Ray is dead. Long live Crazy Ray.

Long time Dallas legend, Crazy Ray, died Saturday night at his home after years of battling diabetes and heart disease. What a guy!

Anyone who ever attended a Cowboys home game or watched one on TV knew very well who Crazy Ray was. He was sought out by network cameras at every game and fans and cheerleaders rushed to have their pictures taken with him. He was the unofficial and ubiquitous Dallas Cowboys "mascot" who was never on the Cowboys payroll. Imagine that! He got free tickets to each game but never received a paycheck for all of his work and support of the Dallas Cowboys. That always seemed a bit odd to me. After all, he was their #1 cheerleader.

I had the opportunity to meet Ray on three different occasions. The first time was at a Le Mans car race at Fair Park sometime in the 1980's. He was hired by some corporation to work the guests at a hospitality suite there to do his sleight of hand magic and party shtick. That was his craft and he did it superbly. Everyone loved him.

The 2nd time I met him was rightly at a Cowboys game in the mid 1990's. My boss gave me 4 tickets to see the game from his "Cowboy Suite," (which spoiled me for life and I haven't been to a Cowboy game since). We ran into Ray before the game and my wife and kids got to meet him and he treated us to some of his skillfully honed magic. Meeting Ray and seeing him perform his sleight of hand right before our very eyes was every bit as memorable, if not moreso, than the Cowboy game itself.

The last time I saw Ray, up close and personal, was at the Smirnoff Amphitheater at Fair Park when I went to see the Moody Blues in concert 5 or 6 years ago. I got there pretty early and Ray was there getting ready to work the crowds and we were able to talk for a pretty good while, just the two of us. We talked about his ill health and shrinking resources and that's when he told me he was never on the Cowboy payroll. It was a bittersweet conversation. I reminded him of some of my favorite tricks he'd performed in the past and he kindly did them for me once again. It was fortuitous to be able to bump into him again and to be able to talk to him one on one.

News of his death came to me tonight as I was surfing the news wires one more time before heading to bed. My wife and son were in the room and they, too, were saddened to hear of Ray's passing. They rushed to the computer to see the above linked article and remembered a happier time when Crazy Ray was in his prime working his magic at Texas Stadium.

Our thoughts and prayers go out for Mrs. Jones and the rest of the family members who mourn the loss of Crazy Ray. He was one of the good guys and he will be missed.

The gods of Political Correctness

George Neumayr succinctly explains just what the hell is going on in Washington DC in his HUMAN EVENTS piece today. Be sure to read the entire article, but here are a couple of the money paragraphs:

As America careens from one artificial public controversy to the next, it becomes more and more obvious that politically correct liberalism dominates both parties, albeit in varying degrees of intensity. The Democrats represent full-throttle political correctness while Republicans stand ready to advance political correctness just a little bit more slowly.

One of the Democrats' most successful rackets is to label any Republican position, no matter how timid, "extremist." This ensures that skittish Republicans will eventually even step away from that timid position. The "conservative" position, under the pressures of this demagoguery, inevitably becomes the liberal one of yesteryear, and then a little time passes and that position is deemed outrageous. This is seen across the board -- such as when Democrats and Republicans squabble pointlessly over the rate of growth of federal programs that shouldn't exist in the place -- but it shows up most starkly on moral issues.

Look at the ginned-up outrage over Marine Gen. Peter Pace's opposition to homosexual behavior in the military -- a dispute which is designed to make even support for Bill Clinton's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy appear "extremist." After suffering more than a decade of political correctness mau-mauing, Republicans have gone from opposing that policy in 1992 as a stupid and needless relaxation of a total ban on homosexuals to supporting that policy (as a Clinton-era concession to liberalism) to signaling a willingness to embrace the full-blown PC position on gays in the military, which is: Don't Care. For those keeping score, today's outlandishly "conservative" position, as determined by the ever-changing scale of political correctness, is Bill Clinton's policy.

Again, please read the entire piece. I've been saying for years to anyone who would listen, that the dems have become overt socialists and the republicans have become liberal democrats, leaving the conservatives in the learch.

Conservatives aren't going to find anyone currently serving in public "service" to lead their movement; some new blood will have to emerge and fast if this toxic PC trend is to be overturned.

The only republicans speaking out are talk show hosts

So what's up with the spineless, emasculated republicans in congress who refuse to stand up against the haranguing democrats who decry the legitimate firing of eight U.S. Attorneys? And what's with the apologetic Bush administration?

The only republican politician (former) I heard today stating factually and unapologetically that the AG acted completely within the rules, was Sen. Fred Thompson while filling in for Paul Harvey. No wonder he's getting so much encouragement to run for president.

The conservative base is outraged and we can only thank God for Talk Radio to stand up against the disgusting goings on both sides of the isle. What would we do without Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity and Dr. Levin?

The call by democrats for the resignation of the AG is mind numbing in light of the firing of all 93 U.S. Attorneys by Janet Reno, which was legal, but somewhat dubious in light of the fact that her boss was under investigation in Little Rock for Whitewater by one of the U.S. Attorneys he fired. Yet Mrs. Clinton has the gall to call for Gonzales' resignation. The stench of hypocrisy on the left is overwhelming and the lack of response on the right is mind boggling, especially when the ideology of the opposition is utterly vacuous and without merit.

What's even more galling is the total lack of republican "leadership." And just when you think President Bush should trash the "new tone," he embraces Ted Kennedy as a "great" legislator in regard to immigration and education. Puhhhhhleeeeeaase.......Kennedy has stabbed Bush in the back so many times...stab me once, shame on you; stab me twice, shame on me!

This would be the perfect time for the next president to show some amazing leadership by standing up and simply telling the world how hypocritical and how wrong the leftists are on every policy and every stand they take.

Fred Thompson may be the only one who has what it takes to pull this off. His hands may be somewhat tied with his contractual obligations with ABC as Paul Harvey's fill in, but that exposure in the upcoming weeks will likely work to his advantage.

Something has to happen if the republicans want to increase in numbers. They just have to know there are some mighty pissed off conservatives out here!

Here's Rush's take: Do Republicans Have Any Instinct for Survival?

How To Destroy America

Astonishing!

From This Day in WND History:

The president who gave us the Willies

March 12, 1999: Most Americans either believed President Clinton is guilty of the rape of Juanita Broaddrick in 1979, or said more information was needed to make a true judgment, but few believed Clinton's denial, according to a poll by Zogby International.

In the survey, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent, Zogby questioned 908 likely voters and found those who made a decision about the alleged assault believe Broaddrick's allegations by a margin of 2-1.

In terms of numbers, 36.8 percent of all those questioned said that they were inclined to believe Broaddrick, while only 17.3 percent believed Clinton's denial.

It's surreal that this information is out there about the Clintons, along with so much other information, yet they continue to be lauded by so many around the world. It's a bit scary!

Are You a Pit Dweller?

I read a really good self-improvement book yesterday titled, Get Out of That Pit: Straight Talk about God's Deliverance by Beth Moore.

My wife and daughter attended Ms. Moore's seminar on the same subject in Tyler, TX just a couple of weeks ago and she (my wife) had started reading the book prior to that. They both enjoyed the seminar and it spawned a lot of interesting conversations on the way back to Dallas.

Moore's ministry primarily attracts women. My wife said there were just a handful of men in attendance out of roughly 4000. Still, the book isn't aimed at women; at least I didn't take it to be. It's aimed at anyone who wishes to lead a positive, productive life, happy and blessed life by getting out of our destructive "pits" that entrap us. There can be any number and types of "pits" in one's life and virtually everyone gets trapped in one or more of them somewhere along the line.

The key is to recognize the "pits" in life; get out of them before they overtake you and stay out of them. Problem is, we can't often do it on our own. You guessed it...it takes God and yes, we have to do our part. She shows you how!

It's not a preachy or condemning book. She uses her own experiences more often than not, and her writing style is down home Texas. She and her husband are just regular folks.

I recommend this book to anyone in a rut (or pit) they just can't seem to get out of.

Is Free Speech a One Way Street?

There aren't too many people sticking up for Ann Coulter these days, but here's a columnist who does. He's Ian Robinson of the Calgary Sun and he actually believes in the unpopular notion that free speech should be an equal opportunity right; you know, for everyone, as opposed to the PC policy wherein leftists get a pass from every unacceptable word they utter. Imagine that!

In his column he chides the imbecilic left to just grow up ideologically...my phrase not his. Here a bit from his piece:

...the reason for the e-attack can be summed up thusly: Eeek! Eeek! Ann Coulter used the "f-word."

From the furor she caused, you'd think she'd killed somebody. (Oops. Sorry. That'd be Ted Kennedy.)


Depending on your point of view, Coulter is either:

a) Funny, smart, gorgeous, vastly entertaining, and usually right.

b) The spawn of Satan's loins who, if you look carefully at that elegant neck, bears the vestiges of a pre-surgery Adam's apple.

Call me crazy, but I tend to come down on the "a" side.

Then again, my e-mails (or, as I like to think of them: Death threats from people completely unfamiliar with SpellCheck) call me mean things, too.

Just because I wrote that I hate panda bears and want them off my planet because they're too dumb to do the horizontal mambo, called recycling a fraud, suggested cops hit winos with their batons until they behave and that we herd crack addicts into northern gulags .... people call me a right-wing nut, too.

Coulter is currently being ravaged for her grotesque insensitivity in saying, in connection with John Edwards, candidate for the Democratic nomination for president: "I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.' "

It was classic Coulter, and it followed lines like: "What's Al Gore up to these days? About 400 pounds."

It was mean.

It was politically incorrect. It was topical, given that therapy was prescribed for the young black guy on Grey's Anatomy after he used the term to describe another actor on the show. And it was kind of funny, if your sense of humour runs to the savage.

Plus it made the point that Edwards is a politically correct wienie.

If people want to take Coulter to task for it, not only do I get that, as a free-speech fetishist, I applaud it.

And let's face it, it's not a nice word and it's offensive.

What I don't applaud is the complete absence of fair play in dealing with political commentators who say such things.

Coulter said a rude thing.

Fine.

Fry her for it.

She's a big girl and at the end of the day, she'll just sell more books.

But what if she'd said: "I'm just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live."

What if, instead of making a crack about John Edwards' sexuality, she'd opined that she thought it was a good thing if somebody murdered him?

She didn't. That juicy piece of political commentary came from comedian Bill Maher -- a left-wing version of Coulter -- on his HBO show, only it referred to Vice-President of the United States of America Dick Cheney, after a suicide bomber blew himself up in proximity to Cheney during a trip to Afghanistan.

Where is the outrage against Maher?

Where is the bleating from the mainstream media?

Coulter used an unpleasant word.

Maher, in essence, advocated the assassination of an elected official by an Islamofascist terrorist because he doesn't like his government's policy on Iraq.

Which is the greater sin?

Where, for that matter, was the outrage against one of the bloggers hired by the Edwards campaign -- who later resigned -- who denigrated people of faith as "Christofascist" women-haters, and who threatened to have sex all day long without having babies just to spite those silly Christians who believe in foolish notions like sexual continence and fidelity and marriage.

(The promise to refrain from procreation was quite the relief to those of us who saw her photo on the web. Like the panda, we do not want those genes passed on.)

All those spammers who mobilized to attack Coulter?

You want to be offended?

Fine.

Go for it.

Enjoy.

If they had any integrity, any sense of proportion at all, they'd turn their attention to Maher and HBO over his comments.

But somehow, I doubt they will.

Thanks, Ian! We needed that!

Oh, by the way, I'm still plugging Ann's delightfully witty and well documented book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism here, along with a host of many other fine books worth reading. Check 'em out on the right hand side of this blog.

Veteran's Health Care Sucks Big Time!...Let's make it Universal!

When will the left wake up? (that's a rhetorical question...they're hopeless and will never wake up) The left is eschewing, nonstop, the abysmal conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center out of one side of their mouth while telling us we need a nationalized Hillary health care system which would make the United States Postal System look efficient. What are they thinking? (that's another rhetorical question...they are thinking control over every aspect of your life and ever higher confiscatory taxation)

Cox & Forkum gives us the proper perspective, as always. Be sure to visit them for further incite. These guys are good!

The False Religion of Extreme Environmentalism

David Limbaugh's most recent column on environmental extremism gets to the real root of the matter. The radical environmentalists; Algore, Greenpeace, the UN, the Sierra Club, PETA and leftists in general belong to the International Church of Gaia (my term, not his). The entire global warming (now referred to as climate change) movement is nothing more than a religion and if you're a non-believer, you are a heretic and you will be marginalized and discredited:

Of course they cloak all of their claims with the cover of science. They accompany their manifestos with endorsements from hundreds or thousands of scientists, who serve as the functional equivalent of human shields to insulate their extreme claims from scrutiny by the not yet converted.

Never mind that many of the credentialed signatories are anything but experts on climate science. They are scientists, and they buy into the dogma. End of discussion.

Never mind that the reports said to be the final word on these subjects are sometimes crafted by results-oriented, ideologically intoxicated bureaucrats and published before the signatories have had the opportunity to read them.

What matters is that the bishops of this secular cult have issued an edict proclaiming that a consensus on global warming has been reached: It is occurring, human behavior is contributing substantially to it and radical alterations of that behavior are mandated as a moral imperative.

When the religion's evangelists are challenged, their answer is always the same: There is a consensus. All scientists agree, except those having sold out to evil corporations with a vested interest in disputing the theology.

They approach their faith with an unflinching zeal reminiscent of Dan Rather's protest upon being caught promoting forged documents, that the underlying claims of the documents remained true.

They claim to have definitive proof of their theories, yet they can't even be sure of much of their data, much less their ends-driven analysis of it. Though I certainly don't purport to be an expert, I doubt that there is any more science behind their claims than that, for example, behind the ever-changing claims about the benefits or detriments of coffee, or the pros and cons of the Atkins Diet.

They demand draconian changes in our lifestyle, insisting that without them the planet will soon be on an irreversible path toward inhabitability. Yet they completely ignore that other nations, like China, presently are on course to contribute far more pollutants to the environment in the near and distant future than we could possibly nullify by heading back to the Stone Ages as they prescribe.

Be sure to read the entire piece. He's dead right, but you won't be deemed a heretic if you don't happen to concur.

Be Sure to See "Amazing Grace"

This morning we went to see the newly released movie, Amazing Grace. It's a wonderfully inspirational and motivating movie, especially for practicing Christians.

Christians are often in a quandary as to what their/our role is or should be in society. In the above mentioned movie, William Wilburforce found himself in the very same situation. Should he, as a Christian, devote himself to "praising God" or involve himself in politics.

I'm not going to ruin the movie for you. It's a must see and that's all I will divulge at this time. Go see it soon before the plot is thrown about in the media. See it before it's completely digested in public forums.

It's an excellent movie with beautiful, but realistic English sets.

The movie is about the slave trade in the late 1700's. It was an ugly and despicable era that was not peculiar to England and America. Slavery was and always has been a cruel inhumanity against other humans and it exists to this very day.

It should be noted, however, that slavery was abolished in England and the United States before it was abolished anywhere else. Slavery still exists around the world, but many so-called human rights organizations seem to take little notice.

Happy Texas Independence Day

Today is Texas Independence Day and it used to be a big deal here. It may still be in some of the historical sites of interest, but there was barely a mention of it in the media. Haven't heard anything official but there's this nagging feeling it might have something to do with offending the multitude of illegal aliens who now call Texas casa...er, home.

Here are a few places to visit in your celebration of the independence of this great state of Texas, and mind you, we DO celebrate independence here!

Do as they say, not as they do

The hypocrisy never ends! According to a WND piece, Leftist Mr. Big, George Soros, has recently purchased more than 2 million shares of the eeeeevil Halliburton. In case you're wondering, 2 million shares cost him $62,000,000.00!

Anyone on the left being critical? Naw...
