According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics we had, as of April 2006
143,688,000 people in the work force with a 4.7 percent unemployment rate.
Now, I am not gonna run the math on this. I will let someone else that isn't as tired as I do that, but it seems to my sleep deprived old brain that rounding that 4.7 up to five, and grabbing five percent of 143.6 million you are looking at, what? Seven and a half million people unemployed?
With that many unemployed people out there why the hell are we letting in over a million people a year? Legally? Add in 12 million criminal aliens and, (you see where I am going don't you?) and what do you got?
A whole lot of people stealing jobs from Americans, THAT'S WHAT!!!!
Don't give me that whole "Americans won't do that work" bullshit. Make unemployment something harder to get (better yet demolish the damned thing and teach people to SAVE FOR A RAINY DAY!!!) and pretty soon people will be gladly doing those jobs that criminal aliens do.
As long as we have unemployment we shouldn't import workers....That makes no damned sense to me...Does it make sense to you?

Up here in Cow Hampshire things are a little...WET. But we saw a little sunshine for about 5 minutes late this afternoon (everyone was BLINDED).
Here's some of what we've had to deal with.

Cool huh? Makes you all just want to move up here now doesn't IT???

Well well, the feather fondling, squatting-on-a-teepee, self described want-a-be Indian is being recommended for suspension. Is this enough? Free speech is no longer the issue with this freak. It's about plagerism and making up stories.
Do we want this type of animal teaching our kids ANYTHING??
Who in hell cares two shits about his wife? She's just as much a freak as he is.
MORE here. This report says he could still be terminated.

Do we want this type of animal teaching our kids ANYTHING??
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - An investigation of a professor who likened some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi found serious cases of misconduct in his academic research, a University of Colorado spokesman said Tuesday.
One member of the five-person investigative committee recommended that ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill be fired, and four recommended he be suspended, university spokesman Barrie Hartman said.
Churchill has denied doing anything wrong. He said earlier Tuesday that he had yet to see the report.
University officials had earlier determined Churchill could not be fired for his comments about the terrorist attacks, but they launched an inquiry into allegations about his research, which included accusations of plagiarism and fabrication.
Churchill's wife, Natsu Saito, who also teaches in the ethnic studies department, said Tuesday she had resigned her tenured teaching position at the school but said she and Churchill have no plans to leave Boulder.
In her resignation letter, Saito accused the university of reneging on promises to her and the department, ignoring racial harassment of the department and individuals, and treating Churchill unfairly. She said her decision to resign was not prompted by the pending report.

That is certainly one of the many conclusions I drew about them after reading the story linked here (free subscription may be required) and in the title.
Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa (Ed-that's just north of the San Francisco area-no surprise there is it?), has introduced a bill that is gaining traction that makes it illegal for a kid under 13 to sit in the front seat of a car.
Under the "It's For The Kid's" program that the Democrats use to legislate more and more aspects of life and steal our ever lessening freedoms, Assemblywoman Noreen Evans' (Dipwad-Santa Rosa) Assembly Bill 2108 would also force kids to use booster seats until their eighth birthday or they are four foot nine inches tall.
Tell you what, I am less than three inches taller than that cut off point, so legislation that creates laws based on height requirements simply reinforces my belief that our lawmakers are just a bunch of "Goofy" people enacting "Mickey Mouse" solutions and are making laws that smack of amusement park rules (you must be this tall to ride this ride).
But it is exactly my height that has caused me to wonder if the Democrats hate seniors. You see, as I mentioned, I am barely above these height requirements, and I am gonna get old and shrink, and probably, someday, may even shrink down below that height rule. But are the democrats stating "Hey, when you get old and can't see over the dashboard you need a booster seat?"
Nope. They don't seem to care that there are perhaps thousands of people in this predicament, and this is because "It's for the senior citizens" is a Republican program, as it is generally Republicans that seniors vote for (because wisdom does come with age), and while I have your ear about that subject (this ties in nicely....watch this) have you noticed that it is the Democrats that seem to be going along with the whole "death with dignity" crowd?
Yeah.....the same people that wanna force your kid into the back seat to "protect" them (I REAAALLLY HATE THE NANNY STATE MENTALITY OF THE SOCIALIST LEFT), doesn't seem to care about your grandmother, and some of them are actively working to make it easier to kill off granny if her "quality of life" becomes "sub-standard".
See? The Democrats hate senior citizens.

So another Mothers Day has rolled around, and memories of life with you have a way of refreshing themselves right about this time....
Here are some of my favorites....and some of what they taught me.
The look on your face when you caught Jenny and I "killing" ants with your precious Dr. Pepper.....that taught us caution...and to rememeber to look over our shoulder when it counted.
Your never ending defense of Kimberly because "she's the youngest".....here's a little secret for you Mom....she is also the toughest....and a pretty good mom herself.....but that taught us to protect the littlest ones around us.
Taco Night.....that really only taught us that every kid in the neighborhood loved your tacos, and that when you made them position in line was everything if you wanted your share.
Sandwiches for every kid in the neighborhood.....you taught us how to share with that one.....and taught us how to share with a smile.
Cleaning the house to Patsy Cline....good music and a nice clean house is wonderful, but did you have to lock us out and say "drink from the hose?"
Locking us out.....that taught us a bit of independence, and to always keep a window unlocked so we could sneak in for a different toy or a bathroom break.
Christmas Morning....you never did succeed in teaching us that six AM meant just that, but you sure tried.
Backgammon....you are still the only one that wins against me....
Easter when I was three....yes I remember that...and I learned I don't like suits, (dressing me up in a white suit was insane, you know that right?) but I loved that bunny cake.
Countless halloween costumes that you stayed up half the night making.....We won a lot of contests because of you...and looked cool doing it.
Endless cookies for bake sales.....I learned what doing my part meant.
Quiet mornings in the barn, learning how to "rub" a racehorse from you taught me the beauty and majesty and tenderness of horses....and how to keep 'em sound and win races.
Learning the meaning of "pari-mutual"....how many Mom's would teach their son how to bet so he didn't go broke?
The winners circle at Santa Anita...and Hollywood Park...and Del Mar, Pomona, Stockton, Pleasanton, Vallejo, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Bay Meadows, Golden Gate Field, Fresno, Turf Paradise and whatever other tracks I missed where we stood in victory, even if that victory was for some broke down claimer at the end of his days running for a tag at thirty two hundred....Tel Rio?
Dinner at grandma's.....
Me beating on the car when the bird died.....
The legendary and daily screeching of you and Glenn in the afternoon when he was late for work on Lime...and Harvard.....and Princeton....
Every visit you ever made to my bedside in the hospital....
The day you lit your head on fire....
How proudly you showed Tiffany to Tom Metzger the day she was born...and dared him to say a thing about her skin.....
The look on your face when I got us a job with Manzi....when your plan was to take a week off....guess you shouldn't have drilled in a work ethic huh?
Quitting Mike Whittingham for being a putz....
Mornings flying down the freeway with you and Ray.....
Hiking in Chantry flats with all the kids....
I think I will save some thing for next year, Mom....
I love you...
You taught me a lot, and we didn't always get along, but then...you were the one that taught me to speak my mind.

3. "Don't fret—-I've been in tight spots before."
4. "Howdy, pardner."
5. "You stay here while I sneak around from behind."
6. Two words: "Saddle Sore."
7. "Hold it right there! Now, move your hand, reeeal slow-like."
8. "Let's mount up!"
9. "Nice spread ya got there!"
10. "Ride'em cowboy!"
And the Bonus: "I reckon this might hurt a little"
Blame goes to Carolyn Hilemen at The Voice Blog

I knew it was only a matter of time before the ACLU would chime in on USA Today's leaking of classified information about the NSA program. And here it is....
Via ACLU Website:
While Congress is investigating that, maybe they should also take some time to investigate the hypocritical practices of the ACLU delving into its own members' private financial information. After all, that is much more intrusive, and has nothing to do with national security.
Yes, a mockery indeed.
After spending 23 years on the ACLU board, the "defenders of free speech" issued gag orders to him, not to speak about the issue.
Talk about compromising your values. This is the most hypocritical organization out there! Can someone please gag their whining? I'm tired of hearing about it. The ACLU have absolutely no room to talk on this issue. Perhaps they should practice their right to remain silent.

Via ACLU Website:
In a story released today in USA Today it was revealed that the NSA has been collecting call information about millions of American residents and businesses served by Verizon, AT&T and BellSouth. One industry insider referred to it as the “largest database ever assembled in the world.” The American Civil Liberties Union strongly condemned the Bush administration’s most egregious abuse of power to date.
In April, ACLU leaders met with White House officials, asking for a review of whether federal agencies working to combat terrorism are targeting innocent citizens or other lawful residents. Today’s USA Today report confirms that this is the case, despite White House assurances that innocent Americans are not the target of electronic surveillance.
“Once again, it is clear that the president and the attorney general have lied to the American people,” said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. “The NSA spying program is not only focused on terrorists or international calls. The government is clearly tracking the calls and communications of millions of ordinary Americans and that's just plain wrong. This news serves only as further proof of how far we have slid into an abuse of power that undercuts the values Americans hold dear.
“Congress needs to analyze what intelligence is gathered, who is responsible for gathering it, and what actions will truly keep us safe,” Romero added. “We can no longer accept hollow, government assurances while they stubbornly refuse to answer questions about the NSA operations. These latest revelations should serve as further proof that this administration does not have satisfactory answers to these vital questions.”
The ACLU noted that there has never been a more urgent need to preserve fundamental privacy protections and our system of checks and balances than the need we face today. This latest transgression transcends the bounds of law and our most treasured values in the name of national security.
“Today's revelation about the NSA's data-mining program only further proves our point that Congress must fully investigate the Bush administration’s illegal NSA wire-tapping program,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “This warrantless database violates the constitutionally protected privacy rights of all Americans. This latest revelation serves as a clear signal that the administration’s no-holds-barred approach to ignoring the law governing electronic surveillance has reached new levels. The ACLU has urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate NSA spying before attempting to legislate blindly on the issue.
While Congress is investigating that, maybe they should also take some time to investigate the hypocritical practices of the ACLU delving into its own members' private financial information. After all, that is much more intrusive, and has nothing to do with national security.
The American Civil Liberties Union is using sophisticated technology to collect a wide variety of information about its members and donors in a fund-raising effort that has ignited a bitter debate over its leaders' commitment to privacy rights.
Some board members say the extensive data collection makes a mockery of the organization's frequent criticism of banks, corporations and government agencies for their practice of accumulating data on people for marketing and other purposes.
Yes, a mockery indeed.
The group's new data collection practices were implemented without the board's approval or knowledge and were in violation of the ACLU's privacy policy at the time, according to Michael Meyers, vice president of the organization and a frequent internal critic. He said he had learned about the new research by accident Nov. 7 during a meeting of the committee that is organizing the group's Biennial Conference in July.
He objected to the practices, and the next day, the privacy policy on the group's Web site was changed. "They took out all the language that would show that they were violating their own policy," Meyers said. "In doing so, they sanctified their procedure while still keeping it secret."
After spending 23 years on the ACLU board, the "defenders of free speech" issued gag orders to him, not to speak about the issue.
The people who are trying to gag my speech and Wendy Cabman's (ph) speech, they are the enemies of freedom. They are the enemies of free speech. And we're not going to concede the control of the ACLU to these renegades who are trying to hijack the ACLU.
Talk about compromising your values. This is the most hypocritical organization out there! Can someone please gag their whining? I'm tired of hearing about it. The ACLU have absolutely no room to talk on this issue. Perhaps they should practice their right to remain silent.

As previously mentioned, Wide Awakes Radio dot com is coming.
Today I thought I would gloat a bit, and give you a line up of show hosts I have managed to gather together for the express purpose of verbally smacking you folks upside the head and bringing you around to a more correct way of thinking.
On Wednesday, July 5th, with the start of our official schedule (subject to change without notice) at 7 AM EST, our line up will kick off with Rick Moran of RightWingNutHouse.
Rick will be bringing you the thoughful disecction of the insanity of the country as only he is able, while gently causing moonbats to run to their dentists for a new TMJ brace.
Next in the line up is Ric Ottiano of Release the Hounds. You may not have heard of him (and if you haven't shame on you and where ya been?), but Ric is as sharp as they come, firmly grounded in the search for "Clarity and Resolve", and crossing him is the mental equivalent of falling into a bear trap head first.
Gribbit from Gribbit's Word takes up after Ric, nailing the ACLU and other assorted cretins while giving you the view from the man in the street.
Jake from Freedom Folks takes up a huge task by grabbing three hours of his own to explain to you exactly why We Need A Fence and other sound ways to fix the country.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays our BlogMother, Cao from CaosBlog (pronounced "key") will be telling all of you exactly why you are wrong, stupid and probably should be sent to France.
Thursday and Sundays will see the warped sensations of Gblagg and Cracker bringing you Total Kaos with a mix of humor and correct thinking analysis that will twist your head around to the position that will allow your synapses to begin firing correctly.
Real Teen steps into the breech on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings with the perspective of one of America's most Right Thinking Teens, bringing you insightful commentary on the state of the nation and hope that not all of the kids in school today are just begging to march through traffic demanding that we kow-tow to the forces of socialistic ruin.
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that Southern Belle of Common Sense, MsUnderestimated will be melting your speakers with her sweet southern drawl and a dose of fire aimed at the moronic malfeasance that seems to flow from the offices of our elected officials.
Tomorrow I will give you the rest of the line up, including our latest addition to the unbelievable crew here at WAR, which is sure to make you sit up and say, as one of our hosts so aptly put it, "With him on board, World Domination can't be far behind."

Everyday I wake up thankful beyond belief that I am an American, living in The United States of America, and have the freedom to say what I wish, to whom I wish, especially to my government.
There are people in this world that don't have that freedom, unfortunately, and one of them has sent me an email, asking that I help get the word out that freedom of speech (what little of it that exists there) is under attack in Egypt.
Sam Adams at Sand Monkey Blog dot com has the scoop on the rest of this. He does on to say:

There are people in this world that don't have that freedom, unfortunately, and one of them has sent me an email, asking that I help get the word out that freedom of speech (what little of it that exists there) is under attack in Egypt.
As you may have heard by now, Egyptian Blogger Alaa Abdel Fatah has been arrested alongside 10 others while demonstrating in support of the independence of the Judiciary in Egypt and the release of previous demonstrators who were detained 2 weeks earlier. The Police entrapped them, cordoning off their peaceful protest and then proceeded to handpick the demonstrators that they wanted to detain, beat them, and then arrested them.
Alaa and those arrested with him are now arrested for 15 days "pending investigation", which could be renewed indefinitely if the state so wishes. He and the men were sent to the infamous Torah Prison and the girls to the Qanatir prison for the duration. This makes them hardly safe, because stuff that goes on in Egyptian prisons on the hands of the jailors: beatings, sexual assaults, torture of all kinds.
Currently there are about 48 detained, 6 of them are bloggers, and 3 of them are women. The best known is Alaa, which makes him the posterboy of this campaign - but getting them out is equally as important. Egypt has fewer than 830 bloggers all in all, 60 of whom are political and less than 30 are politically active. Now 6 of those are in jail - 20% of all politically active Egyptian bloggers - and amongst them one of Egypt's most highly profiled one.
This is by no means a co-incidence. Government agents handpicked people to arrest from amongst the protesters. They have been wanting to get Alaa for a long time now, precisely because he is high profile, and because he helps organizes the protests and spread the information through the blog aggregator he runs (www.manalaa.net). With Alaa gone, Aggregator could shut down without his maintenance and other bloggers could get too scared to be active and find no way to organize or reach one other. It's of vital importance that he gets released ASAP.
Sam Adams at Sand Monkey Blog dot com has the scoop on the rest of this. He does on to say:
Alaa is a secular democracy activist, and a tireless advocate of freedom, free speech and human rights. He organizes demonstrations and engages in protests against all kinds of injustices in Egypt and is the winner of the international Best of the Blogs award from Reporters Without Borders last December.
Alaa was arrested while protesting to support Egypt's Judges fight for independence. 2 weeks earlier he had organized a "National Unity" protest to show solidarity with Egypt's Christians who suffered a sectarian attack on 3 churches on Good Friday. Before that he was one of the few voices that urged calm and peaceful dialogue while the cartoon crisis was hitting its peak. He is a desperately needed voice of moderation and democracy in Egypt, and one of the few flickers of hope in a country whose future seems mire between the crushing rule of the regime and the fanaticism of the Islamist opposition.
And now Alaa needs your help. We have started an e-mail campaign to the Egyptian embassies and the US State Department in order to push for his release, and have started protests in front of the Egyptian embassy and consulates in the US for his release. We will also hold protests in France, Italy and Gemany. We could use your help in getting the word out and sending them an e-mail demanding his release.
Addresses for the Egyptian embassies in the US and Canada are available here, templates for e-mails to be sent to the embassies here, and the contact information for the person to e-mail in the US state department is here. If you are a journalist or know one, help us spread the word by writing about this or demanding your local newspaper write about this. If you have a blog or a website and would like to raise awareness about this issue, banners for the Free Alaa campaign can be found here and here. We could use any help we can get, so if you have any ideas or ways to help us, please do.
All the best,

With the breaking news that the U.S. border patrol is notifying the Mexican Government of the whereabouts of the Minutemen Corps, those stalwart Patriots that have taken it upon themselves to guard our borders, one must wonder how those brave fellows that are charged with defending our borders and apprehending the criminal aliens that try to sneak into our country feel about being forced to hand over vital intel on the whereabouts of those that, by all accounts, are welcomed by the agents of what is now called ICE.
The audacity of the United States Government to hand over information regarding the location of people that are doing the job they are refusing to do is astounding, and handing that information over to a government that is notoriously corrupt and rife with connections to violent drug gangs, placing our Patriots in harms way, is breathtaking in the scope of depraved indifference as to the safety of its' own citizens exercising their rights.
In a sane world, this may even be considered treason.
But we do not live in a sane world.
We live in a world that is rapidly changing, and the forces of socialism that pound at our door and swarm over our borders, marching in our streets and demanding that we fling open our borders to the cesspool of third world corruption and elite cronyism that is increasingly the norm of Mexico and points south, and the entire European continent, is troubling in the least and threatens to destroy our country as we know it.
NAFTA, CAFTA (which the people in South America are increasingly against) and the push to create a "North American Economic Zone" that is akin to the European Union should make every American that can read stand up and realize that we are in trouble. The EU is rife with unchecked immigration problems, with immigrants not assimilating even after two generations with the backlash being seen in the recent riots in France. Not to mention that fact that poll after poll shows a majority of Muslims in London that would be fine with the idea of living under Sharia Law.
Open borders are dangerous, both to our economy and our safety, and the fact that the U.S. Border Patrol sees fit to report to corrupt and possibly hostile forces the positions of American Patriots that are standing in the breach where our government won't should make us stand up and demand that our government work to protect US, and not the hordes of criminal aliens flooding this country to steal our jobs and depress our wages.

Amidst record high gas prices a rumor heard on a radio station that a refinery was going to be reopened caused a minor uproar regarding the environment yadayadayada.
It wasn't true.
Too bad. If we had more refining capacity we could make more gas, which would make gas cheaper.
How come the envirowackos and the rest of the left can't come up with one damned solution?
Just how many "very small refineries" have been closed due to pressure from envirowackos? While one refinery isn't going to make a difference, keep adding in a bunch of small refineries and pretty soon you get a whole lot of refining capability.
You can't win with these people. Take a refinery away from all of that stuff that this refinery is located around and what do you have? A refinery in "a pristine wilderness area" and you can't go there either. Has any of you EVER heard an envirowacko state something along the lines of "really that entire valley is useless so the best thing to do is place a refinery there."?
As I said, you just can't win with these guys.
It wasn't true.
In July 2001, Cenco formally abandoned plans to restart refinery operations at the 95-acre plant after residents and environmental activities lobbied state and regional air quality officials. Now, the company is in the midst of selling off what is left of the old refinery's equipment, while city officials pursue plans to redevelop the site.
Too bad. If we had more refining capacity we could make more gas, which would make gas cheaper.
How come the envirowackos and the rest of the left can't come up with one damned solution?
Had the Cenco refinery opened, it likely would not have produced enough gasoline to make any significant impact on today's high prices, Morse added, describing Cenco as "a very small refinery." It would have produced "only 50,000 barrels a day" had it reopened, he said.
Just how many "very small refineries" have been closed due to pressure from envirowackos? While one refinery isn't going to make a difference, keep adding in a bunch of small refineries and pretty soon you get a whole lot of refining capability.
The plant is near several small industrial parks, an elementary school, a residential neighborhood and a senior citizen housing complex.

For those of you that have children, what I am about to say is going to hit home.
My son is still relatively young, and so far reasonably obedient. Who am I kidding? My kid's great.....he is smart as a whip (and before you ask about that saying have you ever been hit with a whip? It smarts!!!), keeps his room pretty clean, never talks back in a bad way and is actually pretty funny sometimes. But like every parent, I know that someday he's gonna change. He won't want to get out of bed anymore....he'll start to smell funny, keep odd hours and suddenly acquire strange looking friends. In short, he'll become a teenager.
That's fine. I know it's coming, so I can prepare for it, or rather, I can be prepared to not be prepared for it, if that makes sense. I expect the kids that I think dress odd and the not wanting to get out of bed and everything else that goes along with a teenager, but the one thing I won't put up with is if he suddenly becomes stupid, especially if he gets a friend that tells him that he doesn't have to listen or follow the rules.
That is what the ACLU does.
Linked in the title is the story of one young man that is acting stupidly (IMO) and the aid he received from the ACLU.
Never mind that this kid is calling the NLG and the ACLU to basically ask "How can I get around the rules?", (if my son ever calls the NLG he'd better be prank calling), one of the major problems is that the ACLU is actually answering him. If a kid comes to you and says "I wanna do this" and what he wants to do is against the rules, the correct answer is NOT "here's how you stay out of trouble if you get caught." The correct answer is "I don't think that's a good idea AND since you aren't my child I suggest you ask your parents."
Not the ACLU. They jump on the wagon and start handing out little pamphlets advising the kids of their rights and what to do if they are arrested or disciplined. I wonder if anyone at the ACLU once thought "If these kids stay in school we wouldn't have to be telling them what to do if they get arrested or disciplined."
Probably not.
I see this kid and the ACLU are going to have a long relationship. Personally if this was my son and he started running with this crowd he would be off to military boarding school before you could say Che.
Did you catch that? He is "sincere in what he's trying to accomplish". The problem? He may be sincere but he is wrong, and the ACLU is aiding and abetting delinquency.
We need a new word. "Plight" should be saved for when you are in a situation that you couldn't help being in, not when the situation you are in is of your own doing, and being an "illegal" (I prefer criminal) alien is solely the fault of the person in that situation. It's not as if they woke up in another country illegally, (although I am sure that booze and stupidity have caused that to happen once or twice) or were brought here against their will. Even the girls that are occasionally found in sex-slave rings aren't brought here against their will.
Now why am I not surprised to find out that one of the kids involved in the attack on our flag in Montebello had help from the ACLU?
How much will you wager that by the time it rolled around to Garfield High that Guillermo has been informed that the actions of those kids with the flag was illegal?
It is tough enough to raise a kid today, I don't think the ACLU actively helping them to screw up their future and break the rules is a good thing.
Do you?

MONTEBELLO - Before delving into organizing student walkouts at his high school, Guillermo Tejeda made two prudent phone calls.
One was to the National Lawyers' Guild, the other was to the American Civil Liberties Union. (snip) From the ACLU, Tejeda and other student organizers received thousands of pocket-sized guides that spelled out exactly what their rights are - and what to do if they were arrested or disciplined.
Never mind that this kid is calling the NLG and the ACLU to basically ask "How can I get around the rules?", (if my son ever calls the NLG he'd better be prank calling), one of the major problems is that the ACLU is actually answering him.

I wonder if anyone at the ACLU once thought "If these kids stay in school we wouldn't have to be telling them what to do if they get arrested or disciplined."
Probably not.
By accounts from his teachers, his father and his fellow students, Tejeda stands out among his peers for his political activism. While still a sophomore, he organized protests against campus military recruiters and was active in several social justice groups.
I see this kid and the ACLU are going to have a long relationship. Personally if this was my son and he started running with this crowd he would be off to military boarding school before you could say Che.
"He is well-read," said Gilbert Gomez, Tejeda's teacher in advance-placement government class. "He does make an attempt to inform and is sincere in what he's trying to accomplish."
Did you catch that? He is "sincere in what he's trying to accomplish". The problem? He may be sincere but he is wrong, and the ACLU is aiding and abetting delinquency.
While Gomez said he admires the students for becoming more aware of the immigration issue, he believes the school walkouts "missed the point." The point, he said, is that schools "educate everyone here, even those who don't speak English."
Tejeda sees it differently. He believes the walkouts were necessary to call attention to the plight of illegal immigrants and their families. And he balks at critics who say students were merely trying to skip school.
We need a new word. "Plight" should be saved for when you are in a situation that you couldn't help being in, not when the situation you are in is of your own doing, and being an "illegal" (I prefer criminal) alien is solely the fault of the person in that situation.

Even the girls that are occasionally found in sex-slave rings aren't brought here against their will.
Even so, he believes some students went too far when, during a rally in front of Montebello High, they removed the American flag from its pole, hung it upside down and raised a Mexican flag above it.
He called the tactic "unnecessarily divisive."
"I've participated in the desecration of many flags, but that just distracted people from our message," Tejeda said. "Let's turn this page. This is about thinking differently about the border."
Now why am I not surprised to find out that one of the kids involved in the attack on our flag in Montebello had help from the ACLU?
Tejeda said he and a couple of his friends managed to prevent students from repeating the flag incident at Garfield High School later that day.
How much will you wager that by the time it rolled around to Garfield High that Guillermo has been informed that the actions of those kids with the flag was illegal?
