Dan at Riehl World View brings up a good point, where has the MSM been in promoting all these pro-immigrant protests?
Probably backing off after they noticed some communist groups offering their support to the immigrants/illegals. Donkey Cons has some history on these groups and a little about how they feel on this whole illegal immigration issue. Interesting…

I was impressed with President Bush’s speech lastnight. He did’t get out of it though without looking like a jackass, thanks to CNN. CNN cut to his rehersal speech for some reason, Bush was in mid-sentence then stopped to look over at an advisor or something before CNN left the video feed. Expose The Left has video of the error made by CNN.
Anyway, Bush made some great points in his speech lastnight. I watched most of it, although I missed the first 5 minutes or so. He’s basically attempting to make it nearly impossible for businesses to hire illegals. Along with that, a beefed up border patrol force will add security to the mexican-american border.
The National Guard has 6000 troops en-route to the border. There was footage on the local news lastnight of illegals getting all upset about National Guard troops being deployed. They claim we’re militarizing the mexican border. Sorry guys, but that’s not the case. The National Guard is there to provide support to border patrol. Bush specifically said lastnight that the National Guard wouldn’t play a role in directly enforcing laws. Any laws being enforced will still be done so by the border patrol, not the Guard.
Bush’s plan is pretty viable, from what I can tell. There’s no way we can deport 11 million illegals, it’s just not a possibility, although I wish it were. Those who are currently working illegally in the United States will have to go through all the legal channels before they’re “legal” to work. How many of them will do so? Not many probably. Richard at Hyscience doesn’t think Bush’s plan is so great, it’s too little too late for him.
None of this will work without participation from the entire business community. And the business community needs help from the government. Document fraud is everywhere. There’s currently no way for a company to prove that the documents given to them haven’t been forged. This is where the bio-metric cards Bush mentioned lastnight come into play. A fingerprint can’t be forged, not easily anyway.
I’m thankful we’re where we currently are on this immigration debate. I, for one, had doubts we would even reach this point. It’s clear drastic changes need to be made to our immigration policies. If not that, then we need to at least start policing our border with Mexico. I think we’re on the right path though, Bush’s plan is achievable and provides the means to enforce what illegals do once inside the country. Let’s face it, there’s always going to be a steady supply of illegals flowing from Mexico to the U.S. Hopefully this won’t open up an even more deadly black market in which illegals are traded back and forth…

There’s been an enormous amount of immigration talk lately. Congress is currently looking at various immigration reform proposals. Newt Gingrich thinks the U.S. should just start enforcing our current immigration laws, which really would make the most sense.
Apparently, President Bush “generally favors plans to give millions of illegal immigrants a chance at U.S. citizenship without leaving the country, but does not want to be more publicly supportive because of opposition among conservative House Republicans, according to senators who attended a recent White House meeting.” Granting amnesty to illegals would probably force me to move out of the country for good. Although, this could possibly result in a huge voter turnout by hispanics in favor of republicans.
I’ll be writing more about immigration in the next couple days, and how the mexican-american population usually manages to sabotage their own agenda.

Jay Bennish got a hell of a make-over for his Today Show appearance yesterday. Michelle Malkin has a before and after picture. He doesn’t have that hippie look so much anymore. Now he’s just sportin a little weasel look.
Matt Lauer likes Jay Bennish a whole lot it would seem. He pretty much started off the interview on the defense for Bennish. Ian at Expose the Left can explain:
Lauer began the interview by TELLING the audience that Bennish was taken out of context. I guess we didn’t hear the great reason Bennish had for comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler, please do tell us Matt. But wait, Bennish did give us a reason. How was it taken out of context, I don’t know.
If you wanna see the video, visit Expose the Left at the link above. They’ve also got a video and post of a student responding to Jay Bennish appearing on The Today Show.
Bennish was pretty stuck on the point that he was only bashing the U.S. for 20 minutes out of a 50 minute class. The other 30 minutes must be dedicated to praising the U.S.? Curt at Flopping Aces doesn’t think so.
Slapstick Politics is continuing their piece ” Indoctrination Not Education In The Classroom”, now at part 3. This Bennish guy just makes me angry, like that Cindy Sheehan lady, who got arrested again the other day. Let’s hope Bennish doesn’t follow in the footsteps of his might-be role-model.
This post is linked at Mudville Gazette, they’ve got another open post. Some good stuff there, how typical.

So, this world geography teacher in Colorado, Jay Bennish, thinks it’s his job to tell his students how shitty of a job the Bush administration is doing and how America is inherently evil. A 16-year-old student named Sean Allen recorded one of Jay’s leftist rants and got the man suspended. My hat’s off to Sean, nice work.
This story got a little more interesting today as 100 students apparently walked out over Jay Bennish’s suspension. This leads me to wonder if these 100 students even know what the job of a teacher is. A teacher is NOT a political activist. It’s his job to give facts as they are, not as he wishes they’d be. In addition to that, what the fuck does the Bush administration have to do with world geography?
Jay’s probably just smoked himself retarded. You can’t really blame him though. It’s gotta be a pretty miserable life ranting to 15 and 16 year old kids about how shitty the Bush administration is doing. The only people willing to listen to psycho-babble like that are other moonbats or un-educated students, like we have in this case. You should have been a blogger instead of a teacher Jay. May have proven to been a more lucrative career in the end.
Slapstick Politics has some more on this, along with pictures and links to the audio. They’ve got one picture of a girl with duct-tape over her mouth that reads “let me be heard”. She really looks like your typical dumb girl that believes in something because her friends do. Nobody’s silencing her, except for the duct-tape over her mouth. You poor little under-appreciated, un-heard, little bitch. I’m a huge free-speech supporter. However, a public school isn’t a place for a teacher to be practicing free speech. A public school is a place for teachers to give students facts about the world around them.
Expose The Left has an MP3 of the audio recorded by student Sean Allen.
UPDATE: Now Stop the ACLU is reporting that Jay Bennish has hired an ACLU attorney. Who’s the attorney you may ask? David Lane of course, the fine man Ward Churchill had defending him.

Joshua Sparling, who’s been at Walter Reed Army Medical Center recovering from a gunshot wound he got in Iraq, got a really special Christmas card the other day. The cards outside looked all patriotic and pretty. The text inside the card read “Have a great time in the war and have a great time dieing in the war” “P.S. DIE”. Sweet huh?
Can’t imagine how Mr. Sparling felt after getting a card like that. I don’t think I could resist hunting the “christmas death wishing” pig down and gutting him immediately. Michelle Malkin has a mailing address for Joshua Sparling if you want to send him a real Christmas blessing.
Another disgusting piece of news today too, involving my good buddy John Kerry. Kerry seems to think American soldiers in Iraq are the ones really spreading terror. Captains Quarters has a link to the full transcript, quoted below.
SCHIEFFER: All right. Let me shift to another point of view, and it comes from another Democrat, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. He takes a very different view. He says basically we should stay the course because, he says, real progress is being made. He said this is a war between 27 million Iraqis who want freedom and 10,000 terrorists. He says we’re in a watershed transformation. What about that?
Sen. KERRY: Let me–I–first of all, there is so much more that unites Democrats than divides us. And Democrats have much more in common with each other than they do with George Bush’s policy right now. Now Joe Lieberman, I believe, also voted for the resolution which said the president needs to make more clear what he’s doing and set out benchmarks, and that the policy hasn’t been working. We all believe him when you say, `Stay the course.’ That’s the president’s policy, which hasn’t been changing, which is a policy of failure. I don’t agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is you’ve got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment. You’ve got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis. And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the–of–the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not…
SCHIEFFER: Yeah.
Sen. KERRY: …Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all of the talk of 210,000 people trained, there just is no excuse for not transferring more of that authority.
Wow, that’s some top-notch hippie-babble right there. Young american soldiers are “going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children”? What the fuck Kerry? He can’t pull much more shit than that outta his ass. Or maybe he can, can never tell what those hippie-liberal-douche-bag types are in to sexually. So, in all reality, he’s probably got a lot more room for a lot more shit.
You suck Kerry, we’d all be dead now if you’d been elected. heh. The Political Teen has video, unless the videos are down right now.
