First Thoughts: The Anti-Iranian Protest In New York. United We Stand? Not On Your Life or Mine. Period

    Good Morning Everyone. Once again, this is something that not only do I not understand, but also A lot of people that I have talked to do not either. The Iranian President is supposed to be coming once again to the United Nations to speak and give all of his redirect and hate speech. Why in the world is it that We The People and our Government are allowing this man to come onto our soil, when he is a known Terrorist as well as being President of a Terrorist State?

     Why is it that we are letting our government to give this Terrorist permission to come onto our shores, our land, to come to the United Nations to speak? Does not make a bit of sense. Moreover, neither does this.

     So I was listening to the News stations on xm radio and watching the news channels when I get into the truck stops and finding out that there is a protest against Iran coming to speak and supposedly this is in recent years been a show of Unity between all our people. Now then, why is it that this year it is different?

     Seeing that this is being held in New York, being that the United Nations Building is there, Senator Hillary Clinton was invited to show Unity. As well, Governor Sarah Palin was invited as well to be there and it is unclear to me, seeing that reports are varied, but both women I think were to speak. However, Unfortunately, Senator Clinton got upset. Why? Isn’t this supposed to be a show of a Unified American People? No, Senator Clinton, pulled out of the event because she did not want to show Unity and give the Idea that she supported Governor Palin. Huh? This was not designed to do this in the first place but that is apparently, why Hillary decided that she was not going to be there, and boy, oh boy, she was not happy to say the least, knowing that governor Palin was even supposed to be there.
 
     So, then we have Barak Obama and the Democrats start protesting on the idea that The Republican Vic-Presidential Candidate was even invited. So Governor Palin is then Dis-invited. For what reason? I am sure it is because the Democrats whined enough because first off Sarah was going to be there, as well that they were insulted for they were invited second. Why are any of the people involved worried about politics.

     It seems that with all of this bickering and squabbling that both Dem’s and all involved forgot why this whole rally or protest or whatever it is was supposed to be. It is meant to show Unity. Unifying The American People Against the Ideals of Terrorism and The blatancy of having Someone for which the Country he Represents Hates America and Israel and has Every intention on making our Armed Forces one thing that he wants to destroy as well as the Ideals of Democracy in Iraq.

     He Sponsors terrorists in Iraq as well as wanting to make Iraq a Terrorist state. So why is it that the people of this protest that is supposed to happen in New York having a problem with Unity? Why are Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barak Obama and The Democrats having problems with having a Unified front against this Visit?

     It Absolutely shows our enemies of these United States that for some reason, we are Not United against this problem. Moreover, why is that? Governor Palin does not and did not have a problem with it. Nope. She accepted and wanted to show Unity for this rally. This protest. It just seems to me that instead of whining about all of the political redirect, That the Democrats should have looked at this as an Opportunity to Show Our Enemies that no matter what, that against Terrorism, that we are United. For only Standing United Against Terrorism are we going to Destroy and Eliminate Al-kiada as well as make sure that Terrorism does not nor Ever come close to our shores. We shall Never Forget 9-11 nor should we be anything but Absolute in making sure that something even close to this, Never happens here or in Any of our Nations Allied States or Country’s.

Citizens' U.S. border crossings tracked: Big Brother keeping an eye on your activities for 15 years. Terrorism? I Think Not!

Good morning. Hope you have had your coffee before you read this, but I didn’t. Boy, has Homeland Security done it again or what? They have not done their job in Building a Border fence on the Southern Border, but they have decided to create a Database. This Database is so that they can track you on when you cross Any Land Border Crossing, say to Canada, no matter what the reason you are going, and then they know when you cross back into the United States. Ok, that would be all right, if they did this to make sure you were an ok Joe and not just crossing to say smuggle something across to Canada or back into the United States.

     However, No Ladies and Gentlemen, It does not stop there. They are going to keep this information on hand for 15 years after you have crossed last. They say that then, they can create some sort of pattern base so that if you do something wrong, then they can go back and connect the dots. Hmm. This does not sound like a Free Country to me. Does it to you? Sounds like Big Brother is going to keep this for other reasons. Yes, My Fellow Americans, they want to keep this and let everyone in the world as far as “Law Enforcement” or any other agency that wants it, to be able to get their hands on it and say, if your Ex-wife, in your Divorce, has a problem with it, Her lawyer can go and get the information and somehow hold it against you, well it will be able to be, because our Government will hand It over to them.

     On the other hand, say you want to apply for a new job. Your new employer can go and check out when the last time you crossed into Canada or any other country for that matter and if they do not like where you went or why you went over there, they might just not hire you. Hmm. This does not sound like something that I like to hear. Am I making any sense yet? I thought We the People lived in America. The Land of the Free. The Home of the Brave. Does not sound like I am Free to Go where I Want to. Yes, you say, “You don’t have to go to Canada, or New Brunswick or Nova Scotia if you don’t like the idea of them knowing”, but here is what I am saying. If it starts here, what says that it stops here? Give them an Inch, but as usual, The Government takes a mile. As long as we let them.

     Now, Take the Trucking Industry. I do understand that Homeland Security needs to know why we are going across and when we plan to come home. I know that it is of National Security to know what Every Truck is bringing back. What I do not understand, is why they need to hold onto a database on Every Citizen, Every time they cross and When, For 15 years. It seems to me that the Bush Administration, Homeland Security and other agencies are getting to be more like a Gestapo or something. To be able to hold all of this information for the, “just in case”, does not make any sense. It is kind of putting us on some sort of “watch list” for no apparent reason. Furthermore, they do not have any, nor, do they want to tell us why. Oh, they have all of the reasons that make no sense to anyone why they are doing this. Nevertheless, no one in Homeland Security wants to give you a straight answer. Just the Run around answer. See, we have no idea who is going to use it, and for what reason they are going to. You also, Mr. and Mrs. American have no idea who gets the information and whether they are “Authorized or Not” to see it. Too much Availability for Data Creep…

     Supposedly, we are given notice that The Government and Homeland Security are going to be doing this Data sharing. I know that Every time I cross the border, no one has told me about this, and I can tell you that every other truck driver in the Industry hasn’t been informed about this. Have you? Moreover, if so, how do you feel about someone that you do not know, for any reason can go into this Database and check up on you? Has this made you think why yet?

     This comes from the article that I read on this subject that has gotten me so fired up on this: The notice states that the government may share border records with federal, state, local, tribal or foreign government agencies in cases where customs believes the information would assist enforcement of civil or criminal laws or regulations, or if the information is relevant to a hiring decision.

     They may be shared with a court or attorney in civil litigation, which could include divorce cases; with federal contractors or consultants "to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records"; with federal and foreign intelligence or counterterrorism agencies if there is a threat to national or international security or to assist in anti-terrorism efforts; or with the news media and the public "when there exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information."

     Homeland Security is proposing to exempt the database from some provisions of the 1974 Privacy Act, including the right of a citizen to know whether a law enforcement or intelligence agency has requested his or her records and the right to sue for access and correction in those disclosures.A traveler may, however, request access to records based on documents he or she presented at the border.

     Without thinking about this, I wonder what is coming next. I mean, I do want to be safe and I want my family and country safe, but honestly, I would like to know why I should feel that I need to give my government the right to take my right to privacy away. In addition, that my friend, without you saying it is all right, or ok to do this, is what we are doing. Giving them the Right to take our power away. If we say, ok, I understand without really understanding, and without getting the straight answers from our Congressmen and Senators, and Frankly from our President, then yes we are giving up our right to privacy and the right to go where and when we please. I mean, so far, for security reasons, they are putting up cameras all around us, and we say ok, they want to catch the Bad Guys. Hmm. Why couldn’t they do that by putting more Police on the Streets?

Tell me how you feel about this? Leave a comment and we will share this with all of We The People. Have a Great Day and Stay Safe. God Bless America.
 
 

Why is it that We The People haven’t had it with the Idea that Illegal Aliens cannot be Deported?

 
What is wrong with this picture? I thought that when you went to a country, namely coming to America, you wanted to Assimilate into the culture and become a United States Citizen. What happened to the concept? We have now according to some Government agencies the accounting of around 20 million Illegal Aliens from mostly Mexico here living and working doing jobs “Americans won’t do”. As I think about that, and have heard that comment so many time from Some of our Congressmen and Senators And lady’s of both houses, that It make me sick and It should you as well.

     These Illegal Aliens are here why? To pick the crops that their fathers and mothers have picked before them? NOT! They are from coast to coast, and there is not a state that does not have Aliens working in not just the fields, but McDonalds from Connecticut to Chicago, working in Maintenance jobs that Americans would love to do, but big business will not give to our Legal Citizens. Why is it that the American People are not Mad As Hell about this? Tyson Chicken in Arkansas and other states are Hiring these Illegal Aliens working and making money under the table, But the American People looks the other way.

     We The People, The United States of America have turned our heads on this subject for far too long. The Homeland Security Agency has had far too long to build the Border Fence to keep our border secure. All the While, Our Border Guards are being fired upon and taken at gunpoint by whom? The Mexican Military, and my Friends, there have been 52 times this has happened this year alone, but We do not hear about this by the Major media. Google it if you do not believe what I am saying. I am not going to blow smoke up yours or my own butt. This is what is happening. If we are such a great nation, and have the Technology to put a man on the moon, to set up a Space station and the like, Why is it that we cannot deport these people and get them back to where they belong? Our Congress and Senate have said that it would cost too much. Hmm. That does not make any sense because they do know where they all are.

     Another Excuse that We The People hears why we cannot deport them all is because We Would is Tearing apart Families. Ok, maybe I am going to sound Cold hearted, but So What… We make it so easy for them to have kids here that they should take their kids with them. Sorry, but this is America, but we need not to be all-compassionate and give them everything. If someone comes to this country and has a Work Visa, and they overstay their time, I know for a fact that we know the last known address that they were at. So why is that so hard to take care of? In addition, if their children are in our schools, then I do not think it is that hard to find them. Give them 90 Days to tie up all of the loose ends and give them the bus ticket, and if they want to come back, then they can do it Legally.

     Our Congress and Senators wanted to give them amnesty, as we did in the 1980’s. We Gave 3 Million amnesty then. Why should we do it again? Moreover, why is it that We do not tell the Mexican Government that Enough is Enough. You want them here, then pay for their Healthcare that is crippling our Hospitals to the Breaking point and to the point that a lot of Hospitals have closed their doors because they have given our the Free Healthcare to those Illegal Aliens and now they are Bankrupt. What are We The People going to do about it? Are we Going to get mad enough to do something? On the other hand, is it that we are going to wait until they have enough numbers that they are going to be able to Infiltrate our country? They are already doing that one. There are at least 20 Million of them here already. How many more need to be here before We The People are going to have Enough Already?

     Am I Making Sense yet? Now is the time. Now is the time to take Action. Call your Congressmen or woman and Senators. Tell them Enough is enough.

Switchboard is: 202-224-3121

     We All need to call both Senators and Congressman and tell them that they need to get with the program and take this by the horns or We The People can Take their jobs and give them to someone who will.

     Do you agree with what I am saying or do you disagree? Tell me what you are thinking about this by leaving a comment. I will, and I mean will put every comment worth publishing on here for everyone to see. With Everyone calling, telling Congress, and the Senate how We feel, We can Make a difference. I hope that everyone has a great and Safe Week. Look for another article Very soon. Bandits out.

Illegal immigrants spurn needed benefits: I don’t understand something. Why is it that we are letting these Illegal’s have benefits when they are Illegally here?

 
     If someone comes into this country because they want to have a better life, and they come here through the legal and ethical channels, like most do that is one thing to give them all the help necessary. That is because they want to make a better life than the one that they left in the country that they left. They are also wanting to come into this country and learn English, abide by the laws of These United States and the person coming to this country wants to Become a United States Citizen. This is someone that I would like to first of all meet and find out more about, and also I will do my part to help them through the problems that they will have with certain things and I will lend my hand out to those in need.

     Why? Plain and simple. They want to come to this country and Become Americans. For whatever reason they have, they want Freedom. They want to become part of the melting pot that this Great country was founded on. This is going to be another long one, so bare with me because this is my opinion, but I know that there are others out there. When you have a new neighbor come into the neighborhood, either you or they come to your house and Introduce themselves and you get to know who they are. Right? Absolutely. If they come to you with the Attitude that they want you to know who they are, then by all means, Any American is going to roll out the red carpet so that We The People can know who they are and what they are all about. And by all means, you are going to give help to them because they are wanting to make a better life. They aren’t trying to break in to your home and take your stuff under your nose.

     But, the same person comes into your neighborhood in the dead of night, and breaks into your home and steals what he wants? What are you going to do with him? Are you going to give them the same help? I don’t think so. Then why is our Government doing this with the Illegal Aliens? Why do we give them any aid? Why do we give them a break when they are caught and not make it so that they are Deported right on the spot?
 
     Now, this is just my opinion, but does it make sense to why our Government, who has laws against someone coming into this country giving these Illegal’s the rights to a job? Because that is what we are doing when we let Big Business get away with hiring Illegal’s for any reason. Why do we give them FREE health care when We The People are the ones paying for it? This is something I don’t understand because if you or I were to do the same thing Anywhere else in the world, Walking across any border in any country, we would be brought to their justice or worse. DEAD. They could in some countries, just shoot us for not coming over their border the legal way.

     Our Healthcare system is broken, yet we give Illegal’s free healthcare. We give Illegal’s the right to come across our border and have children. Then we give that child American Citizenship because their mother came across Illegally so they could bring the child into the world on American Soil, and then They have to stay because their child is a United States Citizen. How Screwed up is that one. Don’t make sense to me. If these Illegal’s want a better life for themselves, then why didn’t they come across and learn English, get a green card, which most don’t have, get a job and keep the money here for themselves. Nope, instead, they get a job Illegally, and then send most of the money back to Mexico. Im not Racist. I want everyone to have a chance, as long as they do it by the Legal means. If not? GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY. Your not here to become an American Citizen, then you don’t belong here.

     If you want to work here, then get a green card so that you are here Legally. Plain and simple. Our congress and Senate have got to make sure that the laws that are on the books are the laws that we make happen. No Amnesty. They are here Illegally, they Broke the Laws of this Nation, and they Need to go back to the line and Start the process. Why? Because we have laws in this country and by God, and In God We Trust, we should be going by those laws. America needs to stand up for itself. We are here because, our founding Fathers made it happen. Gave us a constitution to understand and to make Real.

     So, what do we need to do? Make sure that these Illegal’s that are here Go Home. Go Home and if they want to come back, then they need to do it Legally.

     What do you think. Tell me what is on your mind by commenting. Good, Bad or Indifferent, it is our God Given Rights to make this country a Great Nation again. If we don’t change things, then They win. Not U.S. Period. Have a Good Weekend. Bandit’s out.

 
http://www.reportillegals.com This is a Website that is used and should be used to report Illegal’s. support this only because if they are going to come across without doing it Legally, then are they doing it also to come here because they might just be wanting to Destroy us? Realize that there are people that come to this country that are considered other than Latino. It just isn’t a Mexican who does this. They might be coming here to do Great Harm to us like the 19 people did harm to U.S. on September 11,2001.

One Angry Woman: One woman’s prospective on the Terrorism in America.

  Hello from the Canadian roads. This is something that I asked one of my Owner Operator Friends Steve Demogola to put together. He got an email and so we thought we could comment on this. There has been to my knowledge no changes made to this other than comments made by me at the end.  
 
     I have started to put together a kind of Team so that we can give you more to think about on Semilife. Let me know what you think about Steve’s Contribution. We here on the site hope that you will let all of us know what you think with comments. Let us all know how we are doing. Now, on to Steves article:

I got this email from a friend and I would have to agree with it.

     A Letter from one “Angry Woman”. I don’t know who wrote it but they should have signed it. Some powerful words. This woman should run for president. It was written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.
 
  “Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation’s capital and in a field in Pennsylvania? Didn’t nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?

     And, I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was “desecrated” when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? …. Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all. I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

     I’ll care when the cowardly so-called “insurgents” in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana, care about the innocent children within range of their own suicide. I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

     In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care how we get the information, just that the information is gotten.

     When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don’t care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head, when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care.

     When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed “special” food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being “mishandled,” you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care. And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled “Koran” and other times “Quran.” Well Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don’t care!!

     If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this message and where to find it to all of your friends, as well leave a comment on the site. Sooner or later, this message will get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

     If you don’t agree, then by all means leave a comment as well because your opinion does matter Should you choose not to get involved, then please don’t complain when atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

    “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem” – Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND ……. I hope you think about all this.

    “If we ever forget the we’re One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” Also by .. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

     In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England’s Prime Minister Tony Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: “A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.”

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

Jesus Christ

The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

     YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!”

     Some real strong words, aren’t they? If only WE The People should take notice and stop being dumb down by today’s media, and take a stance on the true value of right or wrong. I’m only one man, but that’s all it takes to make a difference.

Just an opinion from a fellow Professional Truck Driver.         
 
Steve Demogola --AKA --Demo Dog..

     What a powerful message from a lady that honestly has America in her heart. I know that there are people in These United States that have not forgotten that America Stands for Freedom. If not for the brave Volunteers That make up our Armed Forces, We would not have the freedoms that we have today. No matter When they Served, they deserve to hear from all America that We The People are proud of what they do.

     Doesn’t matter why they are there, But, That they are on the front lines making sure that We The People are safe, Free and knowing that in a moments notice, Our Military are on the job to defend The constitution of These United States. No matter where, or when or why Freedom is in jeopardy, Our Men and Women or our Military is at the ready. Ready to make sure that Freedom and Democracy is safe. That life, and the pursuit stays for every free society, and that Liberty Stands tall.

    What ever you feel, you and you live in these United States, you have to agree that we all need to reflect why July 4th is our Independence Day. Without knowing the Reason we are celebrating, This is just another day. But with the idea, We The People Owe a debt of gratitude to our Men and Women of the Armed Forces. Show how much you love this country and thank a American Servicemen or Women. Also check out http://www.dearamericanhero.com . This shows you why and what you can do to help get the thank you out. As well, http://www.rememberingtheirsacrifices.com . Both these Websites are going to give you the inspiration and the Heartfelt feelings that Patriots are made from. I would like to Give my hope to you all, that Lady’s and Gentlemen, Have a Great July 4th Weekend, and in the midst of our lives, we remember that we all have a Semilife to explore, have fun with and to get the information that we all need to make sure that We The People are Well informed to Take control once again. For if we don’t, then Freedom and Liberty Will Not Stand for Freedoms, Justice and the American Way. Be Safe all.

Terrorism In America: When we know where they are and they are HERE, then why don’t we GET THEM OUT?

       Something we Must, Have to and Shall Ask our Government!.!. Why, when we know that there are Radical Muslim’s here that want to Destroy our way of life, And they are sitting in our country, Do we or Does our government let them stay here in this Country. Obviously, The Bush Administration, being the all knowing, all powerful that they are, (you know I am joking right?) Why are they not doing a Damn thing about this?
 
     Radical Muslims are sitting in Masques here in this country, waiting and probably plotting for you and I to basically get assassinated.. Why do I say this? Fact: Fox News did a report on such a problem in Charlotte, North Carolina. Titled Radical Islamic Website here in America, it reports about a website, in ENGLISH, published in his fathers home, and this guy goes to his masque to pray. Well I guess I must ask then. Why and How is it that We The People allow this to continue. Like ants in your home, if you have one, then you know you have Hundreds.  found as well on www.youtube.com something rather interesting that you should take a look at as well.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=S55o2hNIXzk

     Now, I know that there are not a lot of Muslims that feel this way here in America, but I do know that plain and simple, the ones that are Radical, need to leave. No, I am not saying that All must go. NO.

     What I am saying though, is that the ones that feel that we must die should be ousted and sent out. Look at the report and you decide.

     What to do? Simply put, CALL CALL CALL!!! If you feel that we have got to take action, then call your Senator, Congressman, and the Whitehouse.

Congressional Switchboard:202-224-3121.

Whitehouse: 202-456-1111

     Now, I have called the Whitehouse as well as my congressman Bart Stupak. Senators Carl Levin and Senator Debbie Stabenow. It might take a few minutes but getting a hold of our government is Important and your Constitutional Duty.

     The one thing that we all must do for sure. This cannot become racial. Most Muslims are good hard working people, doing the things in this country that make America strong. We need to remember that. It is just the ones that are Radicalized and hate America that we need to take care of and take out of this country. If we are not watchful in what is going on in our country, we will loses. In a couple of days I am going to continue on this, but we all need to know and be steadfast in our thinking. Get involved in the Political system as well as making sure this country is safe. May God Bless These United States.
