Uh so what. Chapman if convicted in Mexico for help in capturing scumbag Luster could have used the publicity to free himself, but he didn't, he was a coward and decided to skip bail.
They did extradite the guy, and he's now in a California prison. Are you just not paying attention?
Just wait until the 'Rats have control. They would have sent in the ATF and went Waco on Dog just to scare gun owners. Also, they would send the ATF after all CCW permit holders.
It is the same reason that Bush ignores Russia's and China's dealings with Iran and the rest of the Axis of Evil. He does not want to cause trouble. Also, the MSM would eat him alive (Think Elian Gonzalez times one Million) if he tries to move on immigration issues.
Do we co-operate withe law enforcement in North Korea and Iran and Cuba and such? Mexico is not our friend. We should not co-operate with our enemies. They don't act in our best interests. Period.
Apparently it goes back to eighties. Some 'unusual source' funding for the guided collapse of the USSR required both parties to look away. I don't have all of the details, and I'm certain only a few have the complete picture. Compartmentalization and all that.
The usual suspects will be along shortly to yell "Tinfoil Hat Stuff", but they weren't there.
Good question. Right now in Oregon, our State Supreme Court is hearing a death penalty case concerning an A-H who murdered his family. He was brought back from Mexico. The appellant is saying he was tricked into signing away his rights to stay in Mexico.
THere is no evidence that the request was recent, or acted on quickly. Dog was arrested back in 2003, so for all I know the mexican government made this request months ago.
According to the news reports, Luster was using an alias and a fake ID in mexico. So it could well be nobody down there actually KNEW who he was. I also don't doubt they didn't CARE who he was -- but that's a far cry from suggesting that Mexico refused to return him to the country, when the fact is that the government never refused to return him, and in fact returned him within a day of arresting him.
I don't put mexican laws "up there". I put valid U.S. Signed treaties up there, as they ARE U.S. laws. We have a valid treaty of extradition, and we are operating under that treaty, which has the force of U.S. law.
It remains to be seen if Dog will actually be extradited. But taking him into custody was the appropriate action under U.S. law.
The only hypocrites are you and the pro-illegal/Hispanic lobby.
That must explain why his book is #3 on the New York Times' best seller list this week.
An opinion cannot be a lie, moron. Merriam-Webster defines "opinion" as:
1 a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter
2 belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
Opinions are formed on the basis of input from sources external to the individual. In the case of Tancredo, my opinion of him is based on what I hear him say on talk radio here in the L.A. market, plus articles posted about him here on FR. As I said, I do not and never have looked at his website.
A lie is a deliberate attempt to deceive. Get back to me when you learn the difference between an opinion and a lie.
In a corrupt land ruled by the political puppets of the drug lords of the cartel, American bounty hunters are as popular as vampire hunters in Transylvania. Dog didn't break U.S. laws - and Tancredo is properly speaking up on behalf of a fellow U.S. citizen pursued by a corrupt foreign government. This is more than can be said for you.
First of all, you really should learn to read what a person actually posts. I was referring to Tancredo, not Buchanan, and to votes, not books. (Yep, the latter's latest tome is #3 on NYT hardcover non-fiction list.)
Secondly, being on the NYT bestseller list sounds more prestigious than it actually is in relation to physical sales. The NYT list is not based upon actual sales figures, but instead upon surveys of a selected pool of booksellers. Similar to payola in the music industry, slick marketing techniques are used to push books to the top of the NYT list.
The Wall Street Journal's best-seller's list, on the other hand, reflects actual nationwide sales of hardcover books [during week ending Saturdays] at more than 2,500 Barnes & Noble, B. Dalton, Bookland, Books-a-Million, Books & Co., Bookstar, Bookstop, Borders, Brentano's, Coles, Coopersmith, Doubleday, Scribners and Waldenbooks stores, as well as sales from online retailers Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. As of today, Buchanan's book doesn't even make their top 15. Here's a link.
So to return to what I actually wrote:
Tancredo, like Buchanan before him, is a favorite of a relatively small percentage of the Republican electorate.
Pat Buchanan got what percentage of the nationwide primary vote in his presidential runs? Hmmmmm?
The Administration has reached a new low!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen!
