Folks, I am afraid we have met the enemy and he carries our own passport.

But he also carries a National Democrat Party registration card, I'll guarantee you.

The chickens are coming home to roost for the Democrats, and it's time that the GOP began to make hay with the fact.

NOT just for political reasons, but to help Real America begin the end of the far-left wing of the Democrat Party, and crush their power for at least a generation to come.

America has stood by half-asleep while those who a generation ago were labeled thugs, anarchists and communist revolutionaries have taken a big chunk of one of America's mainstream parties. The result has been not just a tolerance, but downright CODDLING of America-hate among people like these reprobates.

Back in the 60s and 70s, people like this were made the targets of relentless LEO efforts to shut them down. The result was the defeat of the hard-left.

But actually, "defeat" isn't the right word. The Angela Davises and Huey Newtons of the world simply influenced the NEXT generation of Lefties that entered the ranks of the Dem party. So now you have Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders, Sheila Jackson Lee, What's-Her-Name from Oakland (the one who was the sole vote AGAINST Pres. Bush's request for anti-terrorism aid last year) and all their fellow travelers.

These people in turn leveraged their power within the Dem caucus in Congress to allow "Motor Voter," relaxing of immigration laws and mass registration of illegal aliens in the urban areas especially in California where they have nearly ruined that state.

If America doesn't wake up to this NOW, THIS ELECTION, the worm is going to continue to burrow until it finally invades the heart and the nation that we love, that is the center of our efforts to keep it a Free Republic, is DOOMED.

MORE INFO from kgw.com:

Terror suspect previously worked in mayor's office

10/04/2002

By JIM PARKER, kgw.com Staff

One of three suspected terrorists arrested in Portland Friday had previously worked in the city mayor's office on three different occasions -- once in 1986 and twice in the late 1990s, city officials said.

Patrice Lumumba Ford worked as an intern in Mayor Vera Katz's office on two occasions: the first time from May to July, 1998 and again in September, 1999. Ford had also worked as an intern for former Mayor Bud Clark in 1986.

"Today's events have a surprising dimension for my office," Katz said.

Katz said Ford last had contact with members of her staff a year ago. She said some of his comments at the time raised concerns.

"The substance of his renewed interactions with my office concerned my staff enough that in August 2001 we forwarded a summary of Mr. Ford's contacts to the Portland Police Bureau for evaluation," she said.

Katz declined to comment on exactly what Ford told her office, saying the FBI has asked her not to discuss specifics about Ford's statements.

Ford appeared late Friday in U.S. District Court in Portland for arraignment and entered a not guilty plea to terrorism conspiracy charges before Judge Janice M. Stewart.

Ford's father, Kent Ford, said his son was named after the African resistance leader and first president of Congo Patrice Lumumba.

The elder Ford said his son attended graduate school in international relations at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md.

The younger Ford also speaks Mandarin Chinese and spent time as a foreign exchange student in Beijing in the mid-1990s, where he converted to Islam, Kent Ford said.

"It's all a mistake, it's got to be," he said.

Ick. I really hate to see China connections, although I have feared such a situation.

Yeah, but the majority of those voting either voted "no" or they don't care. What does that tell you?

Thanks for the additional info.

"The younger Ford also speaks Mandarin Chinese and spent time as a foreign exchange student in Beijing in the mid-1990s, where he converted to Islam, Kent Ford said."

This is disturbing.

Heck, it's "vey series."

But I'm sure the Chicoms are already rethinking any support they might have given to al-Qaeda...seems that Osama's kids have been stirring s**t up in Chinese Turkestan.

Yo, guys, lie down with dogs, get up with fleas...

I'd like to see the GOP "make hay" out of your observation. The problem is that if you begin classifying these people, the media automatically defaults into the "you're a racist party" routine.

Look at the problems in Hawaii as a lab for the GOP's lack of ability to build a multiethnic base.

How does the GOP build a broad base when the media never lets the GOP discuss the facts in history?

I'm guessing that Patrice is the female on the right, not the bad-looking dude in the middle.

In this day and time don't bet the farm on it. Besides if the guy in the middle had the lace on I'm not so sure he wouldn'the be the better looking of the two. I mean, she's ugly.

First question out of the box: ARE THEY DEMOCRATS TOO?

Probably not. They're too clean looking and seem to be of a better character than most Democrats. Maybe they're lawyers. : )

Hold on a minute here. Since when does China allow mosques and the recruiting of people to islam?

BTTT Thanks for the ping Cyber! These are not Americans to me, I don't care WHERE they were born. They perhaps should be called EX-Americans, now they are TRAITORS.
