This is worth thinking about - that our government is more ready and willing to protect the sovereignty of Afghanistan than the sovereignty of the United States. In my opinion, it clarifies where our president, congress and government stand when it comes to serving our Constitution and the citizens of the U.S.

That is a sobering thought.,Without a doubt, it's obvious now what the agenda of the Bush administration is.

When the International Bankers tell the Federal Researve that the milita is a problem, word will be sent to Bush to get rid of milita. The unwritten order to Bush will be to do whatever it takes shutdown milita.

I couldn't have said it better myself. A classic example was that embarrassing appearance of Congressman Jeff Flake (an appropriate surname as it turns out) on O'Reilly's show last night. When asked why officials in Arizona were asking for federal funds to pay for the incarcertaion, prosecution, medical services, etc., for illegals when these same state and federal politicians are not calling for more to be done to seal the border, Flake proceeded to babble about how the illegals were helping Americans by using other people's Social Security numbers and pumping money into the system. He then rambled on about a "guest worker" program, but refused to take a stand as far as tightening the border. A truly pathetic performance.

With representatives like McVain and this Flake character, it's embarrassing to admit being a Republican in Arizona. Throw in Ed Pastor, incoming Congressman Raul Grijalva Janet Napolitano on the Dims side, and there is little hope for an improvement in the situation down here.

It is beyond inexplicable - I'd have shut all the borders down about 12:00 PM 11 Sept. 2001 - nobody in, or out - nobody, I mean nobody, leaves the country. Not even if you're Osama's kin. Especially if you're Osama's kin.

As far as letting in 10's of thousands of people since 11 Sept 2001 from "areas of concern" as terrorist-producing countries are now euphemistically known, are they insane? Sorry, the Sec. of State is wrong on this one. If this makes me a Xenophobe, so be it, I wear the moniker proudly, then. There is no benefit to allowing an avowed enemy of our culture live in our midst and plot against us on our dime.

You're so right.

Perhaps we should contact the Afganistan Embassy and inquire about sponsoring a few thousand families over there in exchange for a few thousand able bodied males ages 18 to 30 to be sent over here to protect our borders.

Past experiences would lead me to believe the ethnic tribes over there don't take kindly to trespassers on their turf.
