Let see, why did I ping you on my reply re the Rico Rats.

The time may be getting to prime time to follow your suggestions on using the Rico/anti racketeering laws.

I just hope that some conservative lawyers are watching and working on this now.

What was the link again where we can buy that book by that smart guy?

It's not conservative lawyers we'll need it's the Justice Department. RICO is Federal. I am certain that the Mountain States Legal Foundation, Ron Arnold, Pacific Legal, and any number of others are ready to dump their data on this one. All it takes is for Bush to get off his thumb. It's up to the likes of us to light his chair on fire.

This is one of the reasons that I disagree with so many Bush supporters: We help him when we rail at him not when we sing about how happy we are that he is there. A FReeper (with whom I am unfamiliar else I would credit him) posted a particularly poignant quote on that topic this morning:

Presidents, regardless of party, face constant pressures from the Left -- from the Big Brother government, neofascist, high tax, property-confiscating liberals, from the econazis and global warmists, from the pro-abortionists, from those who are pro-one world and anti-American and from those who advocate cradle-to-grave socialism. (Have I left anyone out?) And, unless there are constant counter-pressures from those on the Right who believe in small government, low taxes, America first and individual liberty, presidents, under Left-wing pressure, tend to drift that way.

--Lyn Nofziger

Bush needs us to rail and scream about why he isn't doing more for property rights. He needs us to bitch at him endlessly for that Kennedy monstrosity he signed as an education bill. He needs us to scream when the Patriot Act violates our civil liberties. If we don't make the noise, we don't help him move the point of compromise.

We have actually been raising hell about this issue. You can go back twenty, thirty years in the conservative Catholic press where anyone can find the concerns raised by decent, moral, law-abiding, conservative Catholics. What is going on is a situation where the homosexual mafia have infiltrated and squatted as freeloaders on church property. All of the major conservative Catholic publications (Crisis, First Things, The New Oxford Review and The Wanderer) have voiced alerts and complaints about these issues for some time. I first discussed the matter of "the gay problem" with a ranking Catholic official in 1983. Had proper attention been focused on this then, some of these cases never would have happened.
