Well if this isn't the pot calling the kettle black?

NEW YORK (AP) - As CBS prepares to launch a new season of the hit reality show "Survivor," this time featuring teams divided by race, enraged city officials are saying it promotes divisiveness and are calling for the network to reconsider.
"The idea of having a battle of the races is preposterous," City Councilman John Liu said Thursday. "How could anybody be so desperate for ratings?"
For the first portion of the 13th season of "Survivor," which premieres Sept. 14, the contestants competing for the $1 million prize while stranded on the Cook Islands in the South Pacific will be divided into four teams - blacks, Asians, Latinos and whites.
Liu, who is Asian-American, said he was launching a campaign urging CBS to pull the show because it could encourage racial division and promote negative typecasts. He and a coalition of officials, including the council's black, Latino and Asian caucus, planned to rally at City Hall on Friday.


How could anybody be so desperate for ratings? Or may I ask Mr. Liu, who is Asian-American, how could any politician be so desperate for publicity as to attack the formatting of a television show?

Western values are causing mental illness

Western values 'are causing mental illness'From Leo Lewis in Tokyo
THE rapid spread of Western business practices in Japan has caused widespread mental illness and is responsible for a deepening demographic crisis, government officials say.
Statistics indicate that 60 per cent of workers suffer from “high anxiety” and that 65 per cent of companies report soaring levels of mental illness.
Meanwhile, the size of the Japanese population is shrinking, and for the first time the Government has acknowledged that the falling birth rate is linked to job-related factors. Directors of the Japanese Mental Health Institute blame the same factors for rising levels of depression among workers and the country’s suicide rate, which remains the highest among rich nations.
Merit-based pay and promotion are of particular concern because they are at odds with the traditional system, built on seniority, that has reigned supreme in corporate Japan. In the harsh new atmosphere of cut-throat rivalry between workers, the Institute for Population and Social Security argues, young people do not feel financially stable enough to start families.
The trend is put down to Japanese companies’ attempts to globalise by adopting working practices more closely in line with US and British models. Larger numbers of temporary staff, a greater willingness to sack people and greater pay disparities are the downside.


And You Should See What Their Values Are Doing to Us Here
It's not all that suprising that our values aren't good for Japan and Japan's values aren't good for America. Just use that scenario with any country and you can get a picture of the world as it really is, and then a feminist will come on the scene and call you a bigot or some new word which didn't exist a few hours ago and you'll will be made to sit on the stool of repentance because you don't live up to their 'progressive' sentimentality. In their quest to make everyone alike, or just like them, the globalists/feminist/communist/Yankee regimes are highlighting the common bonds we all share, at the point of a gun and economic restrictions. They still don't see that the value that most people have in common is not liking that guy over in that far off land to live next door to you. That's a value that everyone shares, and I don't care how progressive you think you are.

Quote of the day

By restraining spending and by cutting the deficit, Republican policies are helping to keep our economy strong.

-Dennis Hastert, Current speaker of the House-




(see post below on spending)

Whatever he is, a fiscal Conservative he is not.

None of this would happen if the Federal Government couldn't just print money out of thin air

WASHINGTON – Federal spending under the Bush administration has grown five times larger than that during the second term of the Clinton administration, charges a conservative Republican activist in a new book that paints the president as a traitor to his party.
In "
Conservatives Betrayed," Richard Viguerie, credited with being one of the architects of the Reagan Revolution, says George W. Bush has set the stage for the punishment of his party by voters.
Viguerie compares spending by the federal government, adjusted for inflation, during the Clinton years vs. the Bush years. In Clinton's first term, federal expenditures rose 4.7 percent. In his second term, they rose 3.7 percent. In the first term of the Bush administration, however, spending rose 19.2 percent.
"If ever there was a case for divided government, here it is," writes Viguerie. "The lesson for many Americans is that today's Republicans cannot be trusted with the keys to both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government."
No matter how you slice it, Viguerie says, Bush makes Clinton look like a spending piker by comparison. For instance, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University in New York keeps records that show how much the federal government spends on average each year for each person in the country. When this standard of measurement is used, the comparison between the two administrations is even more pronounced............


Yet another formula for measuring presidential fiscal responsibility, according to Viguerie, is rescissions. Reagan used rescission power to rescind funds authorized by Congress. Ford rescinded $7.9 billion in spending. Carter rescinded $4.6 billion, Reagan $43.4 billion, Bush I $13.1 billion, Clinton $6.6 billion.
But George W. Bush has not rescinded even $1 in congressional spending.
"The best illustration of the corrupting influence of power on the Republicans is the explosion of pork-barrel spending projects since 2000," says Viguerie.
Viguerie points to a 121 percent increase in pork-barrel earmarks in the first five years of the Bush administration.
"The size of the federal government is the single most important barometer of the health of the American republic," writes Viguerie. "When domestic federal spending goes up, it's a surefire indicator that something is wrong. And the way spending has been increasing under the Bush administration and the Republican Congress shows that things are seriously wrong."


That just about sums it up.

Ron Paul for President 2008


What Congress Can Do About Higher Gas Prices
by
Ron Paul
Gasoline prices are soaring and the American people are angry. They want something done about it—now!
$100 rebate checks to American motorists won’t cut it, nor will mandatory mileage requirements for new vehicles. Taxing oil profits will only force prices higher. But there are some very important things we can do immediately to help.
First: We must reassess our foreign policy and announce some changes. One of the reasons we went into Iraq was to secure oil. Before the Iraq war oil was less than $30 per barrel; today it is over $70. The sooner we get out of Iraq and allow the Iraqis to solve their own problems the better. Since 2002 oil production in Iraq has dropped 50%. Pipeline sabotage and fires are routine; we have been unable to prevent them. Soaring gasoline prices are a giant unintended consequence of our invasion, pure and simple.
Second: We must end our obsession for a military confrontation with Iran. Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and according to our own CIA is nowhere near getting one. Yet the drumbeat grows louder for attacking certain sites in Iran, either by conventional or even nuclear means. An attack on Iran, coupled with our continued presence in Iraq, could hike gas prices to $5 or $6 per gallon here at home. By contrast, a sensible approach toward Iran could quickly lower oil prices by $20 per barrel.
Third: We must remember that prices of all things go up because of inflation. Inflation by definition is an increase in the money supply. The money supply is controlled by the Federal Reserve Bank, and responds to the deficits Congress creates. When deficits are excessive, as they are today, the Fed creates new dollars out of thin air to buy Treasury bills and keep interest rates artificially low. But when new money is created out of nothing, the money already in circulation loses value. Once this is recognized, prices rise – some more rapidly than others. That’s what we see today with the cost of energy.
Exploding deficits, due to runaway entitlement spending and the cost of overseas engagements, create pressure for the Fed to inflate the money supply. This contributes greatly to the higher prices we’re all paying at the pump.
If we want to do something about gas prices, Congress should greatly reduce federal spending, balance the budget, and eliminate regulations that interfere with the market development of alternative fuels. All subsidies and special benefits to energy companies should be ended. And in the meantime let’s eliminate federal gas taxes at the pump.
Oil prices are at a level where consumers reduce consumption voluntarily. The market will work if we let it. But as great as the market economy is, it cannot overcome a foreign policy that is destined to disrupt oil supplies and threaten the world with an expanded and dangerous conflict in the Middle East.

Dr. Ron Paul is a Republican member of Congress from Texas.

But don't hold your breath waiting for anyone in government to do anything with any acutal meaning. Hard work doesn't get sound bites or votes.

This is almost laughable. But the Ameican people have to suffer, so it's not.



I just put these immigration articles on the site to give further proof of the ridiculous and treasonous position the federal government takes on the Mexican invasion. The case has already been made to stop illegal immigration at the border and the rest is just icing on the cake.

Social Security Cards Sold Openly At San Jose Flea Market–FBI Doesn’t Want To Know

Sometimes reader mail can be used to make a point or illustrate a problem.
Today’s mail brings a short letter from David in San Jose, California - U.S.A.
There is nothing I need to add or say here that David hasn’t.
Please don’t give up, David.
D.A.-
I have written enough letters, all to no avail. A couple of months ago, I contacted the local San Jose FBI office to let them know that Social Security cards were being sold openly at a local daily flea market. Most of the visitors to this huge flea market are Hispanic and the booth that
sold Social Security cards also sold other forms of ID. They also were openly advertised.
Obviously this is illegal - and a source of
documentation for illegal immigrants. I sent the FBI digital photos of the booth with its large signs advertising the illegal IDs.
Nothing has been done even though the
FBI has been notified and the grounds are patrolled daily many local San Jose police. This is a travesty. I am fed up with the government’s refusal to protect our borders and enforce our laws. I did not serve in Viet Nam to see my country overrun by this invasion.

David, California.

Just another example of the federal government, not just doing nothing, actively promoting fraud and the Mexican invasion.
