Who Gets to Decide?

By Nancy Matthis at ADMC

The election of 2008 promises to be an all-out battle throughout the country for the soul of America. Will we continue to be a nation of individuals who pride themselves on personal responsibility? Or will we keep sliding deeper into increasing government entitlement programs (and meddling) on the path to socialism?

The answer will largely be determined by the outcomes of the 435 hard-fought Congressional races throughout the United States. And in many of those races, the margin of victory or loss on average may be less than three percent. Which is to say that illegal aliens may decide the future of our democracy.

Our voting processes are deeply flawed. For quite some time the problem of voter fraud has been discussed, but tolerated. The website Illegal Aliens US comments:

Those ‘undocumented’ are actually ‘highly documented’ with fraudulent documents our government readily accepts.

Because of virtually no vote fraud enforcement, motor voter registration, driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, amnesties and other factors, American’s most precious liberty, voting, is being rapidly undermined by illegal aliens.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reports:

In 1996, Congress enacted the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, making it a federal crime for non-citizens to vote in any federal election (or state election, unless authorized by state law). As a penalty, ineligible non-citizens who knowingly vote may be deported. Additionally, a non-citizen who falsely claims to be a United States citizen is in violation of this law.

However, there are many documented reports of non-citizen voting, and there is no evidence of prosecution of the aliens for their action. With nearly 19 million foreign-born residents who are not U.S. citizens in the country in the 2000 Census and an estimated 9-11 million illegal residents (many of them not also counted in the Census), the potential is enormous for non-citizens to affect the outcome of elections.

Accuracy in Media adds:

A recent study released by the conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation provides proof that illegal aliens and immigrants with green cards are committing rampant voter fraud in the United States.

Just last week, Libertarian Republican posted about a specific case in San Antonio:

300 busted in San Antonio — Illegal Immigrants have been voting in US Elections for decades. California most especially has been plagued by hundreds of thousands of illegals voting in elections. Republicans have alledged for years that Democrats have undertaken massive voter registration drives of Illegals in heavily Mexican neighborhoods around Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego County and other Border regions. Even Mid-Western States such as Ohio and Missouri have also seen problems with Illegal Immigrant voting. Now, Texas has been hit….

The Obamassiah Changes Name to Joseph Goebbels…

…Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind orgasms.

The latest outrageous lie from the mouth of The Obamassiah revolves around his votes to prevent infanticide in Illinois. References at STACLU and elsewhere (actually, all over the place, except among Mass Media Podpeople).

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”–Joseph Goebbels

The Obamassiah: The “Great Negotiator”? (MHWA)

Michael Goodwin sums up the Billary-Obamassiah “negotiations” for the Dhimmicrappic Convention:

It reminds me of a Cold War joke about how the Russians view a compromise. They come to the table and announce the rules: What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is negotiable.

How would President Obama respond?

I think we just found out.

Indeed. The Obamassiah’s just the kind of doof I used to like playing poker with. Can’t find his own @$$ with a mirror on a stick. He’s holding a straight flush, and Billary bluffed him down and is posed to clean his clock at the convention with her Clintoon Corps Blitz. All she’d need would be for a couple of skeletons from The Obamassiah’s closet to be dragged into the light of day the week of the convention and the Sooper-Dooper Delegationators would bid him a not-so-fond farewell.

Oopsie. All that Repugnican’t/Juan Mexicain sturm und drang wasted on the wrong candidate. Wheels spin as the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” gins up to trot out (a very justifiable) “Hate Billary” campaign.

My, oh my, wouldn’t that be fun?

*heh*

More fun would be, as I commented at morewhat.com,

“Does it get any better than this”

Wellllll, let’s see if we can improve on it a bit:

Billary plot to (character) assasinate The Obamassiah revealed…

Obamassiah’s Indonesian citizenship (as Barry Soetoro) comes to light…

Billary Arkansas dirty tricks come back to haunt her…

Obamassiah’s ties to “big bidness” highlighted as convention starts…

A brokered convention leads to the nomination of Joe Lieberman who, after the Repugnican’t convention, Joins the Juan Mexicain ticket as VP candidate of The Uniparty.

The Libertarian Party posts a surprise upset in November.

The world shifts on its axis, poles switch and all sunspot activity ceases ushering in an ice age that kills 50% of all plant life and causes worldwide famine and apocalyptic death counts.

Algore blames it on anthropogenic global warming. Wins another Academy Award with the fraudumentary, “Nanny, Nanny, Boo-Boo: Your Thermometers Are All Wrong; I am Too Right about Anthropogenic Global Warming” for which he is also awarded his second Nobel Prize.

Watch out for poop from flying pigs falling on the ice rink in hell…

Of course, even better (but still in an alternate UNreality), Congress grows some balls and discovers a moral imperative to abide by the Constitution and 90% of our “feddle gummint” created problems disappear overnight (along with almost 90% of “feddle gummint” social programs, impeached “feddle gummint” judges, etc.).

With fantasies like that, now I know somebody slipped me some funny brownies…

A Few Facts about America’s Third World County

I sometimes have questions come my way, most often via email, about just what/where America’s Third World County is. Gleaned from Census stats and elsewhere, with [interjected comments]:

Median resident age: 34.3 years
Missouri median age: 36.1 years

Males: 10,980 (50.6%)
Females: 10,701 (49.4%)

Average wage per job in 2003: $23,161 [Lotsa illegals–proportionally–dragging the wages down]
County population in 2003: 21,999
Jobs in 2003: 6,532

Total labor force in 2004: 12,079
Unemployment rate in 2004: 4.9%

Average household size:
America’s Third World County: 2.6 people [I always wonder about those homes with fractional people… ]
Missouri: 2.5 people

Estimated median household income in 2005: $29,887 ($27,010 in 2000)
America’s Third World County: $29,887 [That’s household income. The Pelosis, Obamas, Reeds and Gores, et all, of America apparently want these folks to pay $10/gallon for gas and higher prices for everything else. Jerks.]
Missouri: $41,974

Estimated median house/condo value in 2005: $79,045
America’s Third World County $79,045 [Ours is valued–by several sources–higher by quite a bit; indeed, even with recent slides in twc property values, over the Missouri median–but all that does is raise our property taxes, cos we’re not selling and we’re NOT borrowing on our equity.]
Missouri: $123,100

Median monthly rent in 2000: $382 [Note below: median rental is more than the mortgage payment on twc central :-)]
Institutionalized population: 110
Median monthly costs for houses with a mortgage in
America’s Third World County in 2000: $580 [twc central’s about $200 less, and will be $Zero, soon]

As you may rightly have inferred from the bits above, both wages and living expenses for America’s Third World County are generally less than in Missouri as a whole, and the same holds true for America’s Third World County vs. the U.S. in general. Indeed, when so many folks were gritching about $4.00 (and higher) gasoline, we’ve yet to see such a critter, here in America’s Third World County. (Gas is under $3.40/gallon, now that some promise of new drilling is in the wind.)

I now return to the irregularly-scheduled third world county curmudgeonry.

Ubuntu 8.04 Update

Or, rather, a comment on Ubuntu 8.04 updates.

*sigh*

So, the OS/distro works like a champ… or did until I clicked the “updates are ready to be installed” (or whatever) button about a week ago. (Before that, an update to WINE apparently “broke” it enough that Encore no longer works properly *arrrgggghhh!*) Now, other issues. I had gotten sound configured like I wanted it (conf to use the old SBLive! Platinum card instead of the onboard nVidia sound), but after last week’s update, nothing I have done in the past does diddly to get it wrking that way again. Now, it’s a crapshoot as to what sound “card” will provide sound for any given application.

Yeh, yeh, disable the onboard sound in the BIOS setup utility and force the OS to use the only chipset it can then see, but that’s soooo… brute force.

Other than that and a weird STOP error in WinXPP/VMWare Server (VMWare doesn’t have a problem; it’s something in the VM/WinXPP interaction), everything’s hunky dory. Oh, wait, not. Flash player no longer works after the last OS update, either.

OK, at one point I was all set to (and IIRC actually did) pronounce Ubuntu 8.04 “Aunt Tilly” ready, assuming someone who knows how to find their own posterior with a stick and a mirror installed it for her. Now, if OS updates are going to break commonly used apps/plugins/components/configurations, I’m not so sure. Canonical had better get its @$$ in gear on this.

Oh, and before anyone points out that I can configure sound preferences via the Control Center, NOT! Oh, it says it’s configured corectly and even (sometimes) tests properly from within the sound applet, but it lies. And the Control Center is a palid, weak, poor analog of the configuration tools built into just about any version of Windows. In order to really manage hardware configuration, it’s often necessary to use the command line. Now, I have few problems with doing that, apart from having gotten away from the (DOS) command line, for the most part, for some few years now and haviung minimal experience with tghe Linux command line (I’m getting better, but there are only so many hours in the day).

But.

What’s not all that big a deal for me is just not “Aunt Tilly” friendly. Heck, “Aunt Tilly” can often not even find Control Panel in Windows without “a mirror and a stick” and approach radar and someone who knows a bit talking her down safely, so maintaining an Ubuntu 8.04 Linux box may well be beyond the “Aunt Tillys” of this world.

Sad. It has so much promise, and it’s perfectly fine for me (as long as I have the time to track down where the buggering updates screwed up my configuration files), but if the the “Aunt Tillys” of this world were to jump on the Ubuntu bandwagon, they’d fall right off lickety split.

Oh, well.

Sic ‘Em!

An email from Angel reminded me of the video below. Her email suggested siccing Blockbuster onto illegals (cos, “…you are two days late with a video and these people are all over you.” *heh*). New Gingrich makes a slightly different “suggestion” in the video below…

Real First-Person Shooter “Game”

As David Drake recalls from Kipling’s “Screw Guns,”

You may hide in the caves,
they’ll be only your graves,
but you can’t get away from the guns!

It’s a thermal imaging video of an AC-130 Gunship in action taking out some bad guys (and taking great pains to NOT hit a nearby mosque) in Afganistan. I don’t know its provenence, but I obtained it from a collection of books-on-CD written/edited by David Drake, and his first-hand experiences with the AC130 tends to lend some color *heh* to it. The view is from the 40mm cannon station.
