Haitians in U.S. illegally are given temporary reprieve Washington Post The Obama administration will allow 100,000 to 200,000 Haitians living in the United States illegally to stay for 18 months because of Tuesday's earthquake. Here we have another example of a bad situation made worse by stupid government actions. It would seem that returning these people to Haiti to help in the rebuilding would be a good idea - since unlike many of those who stay in Haiti, these immigrants (illegal or not) seem to be willing to work and apparently have some skills. I know, I am not showing much sympathy, am I? But Haiti has itself created its own hideous mess, with some help from the outside (France, Dominican Republic and the US and UN, being the worst). For more sickening details, see this. Haiti, supposedly the product of a "successful" slave rebellion, today has at least a quarter-million recognized slaves and probably several times that number. Indeed, 85% of the nation appears to be slaves to some degree and live on LESS than $2/day, while the top of the pyramid (as represented by former dictator "Baby Doc") have incomes amounting to more than 30 million dollars per year.

Time for French Women who Berate Husbands
Record cold temperatures are beginning to take their toll on average citizens around the world. In bone-chilled France, frustrated housewives have taken to venting their spleens at their husbands -- and for good reason.

Now the debonair men are taking the heat. (Read the rest here) [Editor's note: Satire, I think....] External Articles The formula for an American variant of Fascism

Our Right To Defend Ourselves RKBA Resources National Gun Rights Examiner To summarize, MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow
said she enjoys shooting, but thinks we should not be "allowed" to take
our guns home from the range. And leftist cartoonist and columnist Ted
Rall had this to say about armed citizens in public who had conducted
themselves peacefully and broken no laws: “These town hall terrorists could be declared enemy combatants and bundled off to Bagram with the stroke of a pen. If ever there were a reason for suspending civil rights, this is it.” I characterized Maddow's position as "nothing
less than the complete evisceration of the Second Amendment." As for
Rall, I had this to say: Careful, Mr. Rall. You’re talking about testing the ultimate last-resort purpose behind the Second Amendment. Some of us armed Americans take our Bill of Rights seriously and will not go gentle into that good night, bundled or by ourselves. You and your fellow travelers are playing a most dangerous game.

headlong into totalitarianism. That this whole "rule of law"
thing just isn't working out so well for us. That nobody seems to
notice how much things are looking a whole lot like pre-WWII
Germany. Or, really cares. (See, making comparisons like
that makes you a racist these days.) In Floyd's words:
...the fact is, almost the entire pre-Nazi judicial system of the German state remained intact and operational throughout Hitler's reign. The "rule of law" carried on.(Read the rest here)(Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.) The
