Okay, my take on the Speech
The speech started bad, and went downhill from there, I am referring to the President of Iran (I cannot spell his name, so I will not try) talking at Columbia University today. He started with a prayer he has used many times before, calling for a:
"hasten(ing of) the arrival of Imam al-Mahdi and grant him good health and victory and make us his followers and those to attest to his rightfulness."
Christians pray for ourselves and our loved ones to be ready when Christ returns, not the speeding up of his return. As wonderful as the rapture will be for Christians, Christians also understand the death and destruction that will precede and follow that rapture. We do not call for that as the President of Iran does.
Next he rambles about how science is religion and religion is science, something quite few people have missed, especially on the left side of the political spectrum. In his words:
"The nature of man is, in fact, a gift granted by the Almighty to all. The Almighty led mankind into this world and granted him wisdom and knowledge as his prime gift enabling him to know his God. "
"The first words, which were revealed to the holy prophet of Islam, call the prophet to read, quote, "Read, read in the name of your God, who supersedes everything," unquote, the Almighty, quote again, "who taught the human being with the pen," unquote. Quote, "The Almighty taught human beings what they were ignorant of," unquote."
"Therefore, according to this definition, science is a divine gift and the heart is where it resides. If we accept that science means illumination, then its scope supersedes the experimental sciences and it includes every hidden and disclosed reality"
That is three quotes where he mixes science and religion, where is the leftist outrage? He then went on to equate this to the way in which Holocaust denial is treated. Now, I do not think that just saying the Holocaust did not happen should result in a jail sentence, but it did happen, and it cannot be denied by someone who claims to be a professor, and this man does.
The speech went on, but there is only one more quote I am going to bring here…
"If the root causes of 9/11 are examined properly -- why it was happened, what caused it, what were the conditions that led to it, who truly was involved, who was really involved -- and put it all together to understand how to prevent the crisis in Iraq, fix the problem in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.
Now, why did he not just come right out and claim that either Bush or the the Jews were behind the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001? The left has called this speec a brave move, but is was the ranting and propaganda of a lunatic. This man should have been arrested for his part in the hostage taking 28 years ago, he should be speaking to us from his own jail cell, but, since that is not going to happen, and he knows it, he should at least have the balls to say what he means without dancing in circles.

Columbia and Anti-American Bias
It is time, time to start blogging again I guess. The fact that the President of Iran, thought to be one of the kidnappers way back in 1979 is going to be speaking at Columbia University has been nagging at me. This is a place that will not let ROTC on campus, that in itself should ring the hypocrisy bell, but it actually raises a few questions. One wonders if David Duke would be invited to speak at Columbia, or the Minutemen, or Daniel Pipes, or Robert Spencer. These are just a few that the left in America has branded as racists hate mongers, and, with the exception of David Duke, none of them have called for the destruction of an entire country. I added Duke, not because I like his views, but because I do not. I firmly support speech, not matter how vile, and am on record as calling for the end to 'hate speech' legislation. Ahmadinejad should be allowed to talk anywhere, but those that invite him would then need to invite opposing views, or at least face the repercussions for stifling opposing views.

A Letter to Mr. Specter
Mr. Specter,
It was with great relief that I read of the demise of the Immigration Bill you were attempting to foist upon the American people. Amnesty is no solution, it didn't work in the eighties, and it won't work now. Your support for this bill was disgusting, but of course, what should we expect from you? You have voted with Liberals more often than with conservatives for way too long, and I sorely regret voting for you in your primary 5 years ago. I will not make the same mistake again, having a junior Republican, or, heck, even a democrat would be easier to stomach than you. I found it hard to understand why you would support a bill that gives law-breakers more rights and benefits than tax-paying citizens enjoy. My only thought is that all of you in Washington, D.C. think we are stupid; well, we're not, we understood just what the bill was, and we roared, as we will continue to do until all of you are gone from office. You took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States, and you neglected that duty. I will be personally mounting a campaign to have you removed from office, as soon as legally and constitutionally allowed.

Dead Bill
Yes…the amnesty bill is dead for now, perfect. Maybe they can start enforcing the laws on the books until another insane bill is written by people who have no clue what it means to work for a living in America.
Amnesty
Okay, I read more of the amnesty bill, it is HORRIBLE. Yeah, I like my Mexican buddies, which might make me a hypocrite, but this bill is going to destroy this Country. Senator Sessions (R) Ala. has a list of 20 loop-holes. Now, if the staff of a Senator can find 20, don't y'all think the lawyers of the ACLU are going to be able to find at least 100 more? This is trash…just the fact that these people do not have to pay taxes for the years worked illegally makes my blood boil. Can I please have my taxes back? Really, I paid them, but it seems I shouldn't have. Or how about the fact that there is currently a federal law that requires educational institutions to offer the same benefits to citizens that it offers illegal aliens? Well, forget that silly law, now a person who has been breaking our laws can simply pick a state and get in-state tuition rates. Look, the immigration system is messed up, but it is messed up because the current laws are not being enforced, why are we to believe that any of the good parts of this bill will be enforced? Go to Senator Sessions website to read about the 20 loop-holes he found, he did a much better job than I am doing.
