Madmom,
If you pay your credit card bills, you won’t have to hire scam artists who say they’ll help you not pay what you owe. Don’t spend what you don’t have!

Salty - just shut up. You have no idea what we’ve been going through this last year. We’ve had familiy illness, and the work that used to support our family has shriveled up due to the day laborers and the illegals taking it from us. We’re going through hell right now and I don’t need to hear a bunch of sh*t from someone that doesn’t know me or my situation. F off.

Well stated madmom!

As we were driving down Grant Ave this evening, we were treated to a very nice sight…. A boy about the age of three or four butt naked running around in his front yard. His mother was also outside and did not mind that her child was missing his clothes.

legal2,

Yes, the Clinton years were bad, but we are at the point where the Dems that are in National office would be shunned by Clinton. Call Clinton what you want, but he was smart to not tilt to the left too much. As I said that will not be the case under Obama. The damage done under Obama will not be fixed for a long time if ever.

Obama and the socialists in Congress will not have any road blocks in their way and will be able to do as they please.

Police arrest suspected serial rapist

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) — Police have arrested a man they are calling a serial rapist.

At a press conference Thursday afternoon, Miami Beach Police announced the capture of 29-year-old Arturo Soto and asked the public if anyone out there may have been victimized by this same man. So far they think he is responsible for at least two rapes and one attempted rape.

Police apprehended Soto Wednesday night after an attempted sexual battery. The chef at the Maya Tapas and Grill restaurant, near where the latest attack occurred, said graphic surveillance video outside the restaurant, which police have confiscated as evidence, looked like something out of a horror movie.

Police said Soto reportedly lured a woman into an alley at 14th Street and Collins Avenue where he punched her bloody and fled on foot after he became nervous.

Police officers caught up with him soon after, and, authorities said, he confessed to the crime. During the course of the questioning of Soto, authorities determined he is also a suspect in the November 2006 rape of a woman behind the Presidential Hotel, located at 1423 Collins Avenue, also in an alley.

Police added that he is also a suspect in the more recent sexual battery of a woman who was visiting from out of town. This attack occurred on June 24, outside a Miami Beach parking garage, again in an alley, near 919 Collins Avenue.

According to the police report on the June 24 attack, the attacker also roughed up the victim, pushing her down and sexually assaulting her. She then ran to a nearby parking garage to ask for help. “She came to me running and screaming and crying, asking for help,” said Jairo Arenas, a parking lot attendant at the parking garage on 10th Street and Collins Avenue. “She was telling me that she was raped close by.”

Bond was first set for Soto at $87,500, but Judge Lawrence A. Schwartz raised it to $240,000, when police said Soto was in the U.S. illegally from Guatemala and may be a flight risk.

Again, if you or anyone you know recognize Soto from a similar rape, police would like to hear from you.

Colleges crack down on illegal immigrants
Published: July 7, 2008 at 10:44 AM

MCLEAN, Va., July 7 (UPI) — Lawmakers in several U.S. states have taken actions making it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to go to college, officials say.

Since 2006, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma haven’t given tuition benefits to people whose parents took them to the United States unlawfully, even if the students attended state schools their entire lives, USA Today reported Monday.

South Carolina is the only state to ban undocumented immigrants from attending public universities and colleges, the newspaper said.

“The new trend is to kick illegal aliens out of college altogether,” William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, which is against taxpayer subsidies for illegal immigrants, told USA Today.

Critics say the college crackdown penalizes students for choices their parents made.

Providing support to immigrants is “the right thing to do even if it’s unpopular,” said North Carolina state Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Greensboro, who proposed a bill to stop state schools from inquiring about students’ immigration status.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio came to Tucson on Thursday evening, but the wildly polarized greeting he got at a Midtown book signing probably made him feel right at home.
America’s toughest sheriff was the hottest draw at the Barnes & Noble bookstore since the last Harry Potter book came out.
Outside the store’s front door, a sign read “Tonight! Joe Arpaio, America’s Toughest Sheriff” over a solemn-looking shot of Sheriff Joe from his new book, “Joe’s Law.”
Arpaio fans started lining up at noon to get tickets for the 60-some seats at the back of the store, between the shelves of Christian inspiration and graphic novels, for his appearance at a live radio talk show.
And they outnumbered protesters until well after his radio appearance started at 6 p.m.
Before the broadcast, Arpaio did a brief stand-up for TV crews and a circle of adoring fans outside the store. The lovefest didn’t last long as protester Pancho Medina, a bearded middle-aged man in a black flat-brimmed hat and wearing a “No More Deaths” button, repeatedly shouted, “You’re not welcome in Tucson, Arizona.”
Arpaio continued speaking, laughing and steadily raising his voice to be heard over Medina, but smiling as he did so. He’d clearly done this before.
Despite the insistent smile, Medina’s shouting and his supporters’ presence apparently got under his skin and Arpaio said, “You don’t know how stupid these people are.”
Protester Merle McPheeters, a soft-spoken teacher and a 28-year military veteran, quietly defended Medina’s right to speak when some of the sheriff’s fans tried to shout down Medina. McPheeters made it tough to yell at him by speaking in little more than a whisper.
After Arpaio went inside, the protesters milled around. There wasn’t much fire left without the sheriff, and the protesters talked to each other, reporters and the occasional surprised bookstore customer who wasn’t there to see Arpaio.
“We’re saddened to see Barnes & Noble offer a platform for hatred in our community,” said Sol Kelley-Jones, who said she was with Coalicion de Derechos Humanos, an immigrant-rights advocacy group
Her friend, Crystal Terriquez, wearing a white tank top that read “Deport Joe Arpaio,” seemed to think Kelley-Jones didn’t make the point strongly enough. “We don’t want Arpaio in our community,” said Terriquez, punching every word for emphasis.
Inside, the 60-some seats were taken long before the radio show started, and at least another 60 people nearly all apparently Arpaio fans jammed in as close as they could to the table where Arpaio sat with a KNST radio host.
Arpaio talked mainly about his reasons for using his department to enforce immigration laws, and about his conflicts with other politicians and activists over his aggressive anti-illegal-immigration comments and activities.
His fans were overwhelmingly in their 60s or older, white, including many couples. They cheered Arpaio’s statements and laughed at his wisecracks.
Outside waited the growing crowd of protesters, a mix of whites and Hispanics, from teenagers to elderly, more women than men.
Some carried pro-immigration signs. One had a pinata of Sheriff Joe in uniform, with pink handcuffs and pink underwear peeking up in the back above his belt.
At 6:30 p.m., halfway through the broadcast, protesters smashed the pinata, but it was mostly for their own amusement, as Joe’s fans were inside hanging on his every word.
Arpaio finished the show and began autographing his books.
Outside, the protesters began marching around the parking lot, chanting, “Hey hey, ho ho, Joe Arpaio’s got to go!” which seemed to confuse some of the customers going in and out of the nearby Macaroni Grill.
About 90 minutes after the show ended, some 70 or so people still waited in line to have Arpaio sign their books.
“No, I’m not surprised,” Arpaio supporter Rebecca White said of the crowd. “Everybody knows about Joe.”
White said she’d like to see Arpaio’s methods adopted in Pima County. A couple of men standing in line heard her proposal and raised it: “Make him state sheriff. Yeah,” they said.”Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” ………John Adams

This is too grotesque for words - but think of this next time you want to purchase an item from Communist China or any of the other dog-murdering & eating countries.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25633945/

BEIJING - Canine cuisine is being sent to the doghouse during next months Beijing Olympic Games.

Dog meat has been struck from the menus of officially designated Olympic restaurants, and Beijing tourism officials are telling other outlets to discourage consumers from ordering dishes made from dogs, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.

Waiters and waitresses should patiently suggest other options to diners who order dog, it said, quoting city tourism bureau Vice Director Xiong Yumei.

‘Fragrant meat’
Dog, known in Chinese as xiangrou, or fragrant meat, is eaten by some Chinese for its purported health-giving qualities.

Beijing isnt the first Olympic host to slap a ban on the dish.

South Korea banned dog meat during the 1988 Seoul Olympics by invoking a law prohibiting the sale of foods deemed unsightly. After the Olympics, the ban was not strictly enforced.

Dog meat is also eaten in some other Asian countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos.

Legal2 said, “… i can’t vote for either and writing in someone will be a waste of time. i will no longer play the republican games, voting for the “lesser of 2 weevils” and settling for the poor excuses of candidates the GOP comes up with year after year.”

OK, then bow out and deserve what you get. Peace be with you….

This story illustrates how completely broken the immigration system is in this country. This teen was adopted by native born US citizens, following the laws to bring her into this country, and now the kid is under the threat of deportation.

com, i do understand your points, and there are just as many valid points to not elect him, however, if mcCain wins, it will be without my help. maybe the country gets what it deserves, maybe the citizenry will see the errors of their ways if Nobama gets elected, and swings the other way next time. we had Bush siding with the dems on the amnesty bills last summer and they still couldn’t pull it off. Nobama and supporters give themselves too much credit. he may well find out just how limited his powers are. much damage can be done - look at the clinton years, but there are 2 generations of brainwashed, indoctrinated people who think “diversity” (socialism) is the answer to our problems, not being educated in what made this country great. we’re already there i’m afraid.

I used to think the same way, however, if Obama wins, the Dems will control all three branches of the Federal Government. Do you want Obama nominating socialist Judges to the Supreme Court, with no power for the GOP to block the nominations. Obama will be free to nominate anyone he wants, for example any of the judges on the 9th Circuit Court.

Do you want to turn tail in Iraq? Do you enjoy your second Amendment rights? Do you enjoy Conservative talk radio? Do you enjoy lower taxes? Even if you only enjoy one of those items, it is important that you vote for against Obama and for John McCain(yes, I have issues with him too, but he is better than Obama, and a Federal Government run by the likes of the Nancy and her gang).

Do you want Obama paying more attention to the feelings and opinions of the UN and the rest of the World over Americans? Do you want International law to play a larger part in American Law?

freedom - never did i think i would shirk my duty to vote … until 2008. I agree with zeezil’s assessment and frankly, both candidates are scarey. i can’t vote for either and writing in someone will be a waste of time. i will no longer play the republican games, voting for the “lesser of 2 weevils” and settling for the poor excuses of candidates the GOP comes up with year after year.

This is the second story from the WashRag about the poor illegal aliens and the fact that the PWC resolutions are actually working. Liberals can’t stand when conservatives are happy. Now they’re saying that suicide rates will increase in D.C. because the handgun ban was repealed. Are we bothered by this?
