 Costly immigration mistake
 

Scottyboy is home.
In my first blog, I said I'm pro-Bush (about half the time).
Well, this is the other half, and I'm baffled.
It's funny that we have illegal immigrants protesting with their Mexican flags about American legislation to keep other illegals out of our country.
It's maddening to see Congress' and Bush's response.
What I hear them saying to Mexican sneak-ins is this: "I want you to know my future voters, er fine undocumented immigrants, we plan to beef up the border security to look good at election time. But don't worry: It's an act. Listen, all you have to do is sneak over like you always do, at a rate of about 1.3-million a year. But now, you don't have to worry about getting caught and released. Now if you get caught, no problemo, seρors. Get charged with a misdemeanor and join our guest-worker program. Don't worry about the others who have made every attempt at becoming citizens, waiting as long as 10 years to do so. This is America: Welcome."
Let me break it down for y'all. Mexico's biggest money maker is its oil at about $25-billion a year. The reason Fox et al. won't help patrol the borders is the other $17-billion a year his country gets.
How, you ask? The illegals come to our country, take our jobs, access our doctors — often for free — and ship their money back down to Mexico. They ship $17-billion back to the country they're fleeing.
Now do you see the real reason they protest?
In addition, they cost American taxpayers $65-billion to care for.
I don't understand our leadership. We go overseas to fight a war to protect our country, which was the right thing to do. But we open our borders to disease, thieves, MS13 gangs and other problems.
I'm all for immigration: America is a melting pot. But do it legally.
How can we say, "These are our laws. You're not allowed to be here. But if you're here, you're legally allowed to take advantage of us?"
Stop the madness, por favor.
Scottyboy gone!

 The conundrum over Abdul Rahman
 

Scottyboy is home.
Thanks for the comments on my first post. I was curious as to how, or if, anyone would respond.
Let me help with some of your thoughts.
First, there will indeed be intelligent conversation here. I'm a longtime editor and political columnist for a newspaper, and I know the issues well.
I have no chip on my shoulder. But I believe what I believe, and I make no apologies for it.
I'll say what I mean, and I'll be able to back up every word.
Speaking of the Word, I read it often and I live by it.
Do I believe in the Darwin theory of evolution? C'mon. It takes more faith to believe in that stuff than it does to believe in Christ.
I wrote a column about that years ago. It's called, "Teach evolution as fact? C'mon" if you can find it on the Web.
It's interesting to note that the theory of evolution has evolved more than breeds within a species.
Now for the blog on Abdul Rahman.
What a conundrum this has caused! How will everyone (mainly liberals) react to the Afghan turned Christian?
Being in the media, I've already heard how some see it. They're confused. In one sense, they have little sympathy for a Christian. After all, we Christians go against all they hold dear and true. But they also see a failed mission in Afghanistan. Once again, chorus, "Bush failed." Many are surely thinking, "Why did we go in there if there's still oppression?"
That's a good question. Karzai four years ago said he'd stick to Islamic law. You should read up on some of that law — scary stuff.
It's simple: We went in for the right reasons. That's because as a free society, we can reason. We did it, and we should have done it. But now we all wonder why a poor Afghan, although he's likely to be freed for the sake of Karzai saving face, could ever be brought to trial in the first place.
Look it: These are the moderate Muslims. Imagine how it was under the Taliban and under such monsters as Iran's new head.
Let this be a wake-up call. These are not nice people. We can reason: They can't and won't
I wish they all would be saved. Some will, just as Abdul Rahman was. But many are evil — pure West-hating, women-oppressing, Christian-despising, Jew-murdering monsters.
We can't reason with them because good can't reason with evil. Evil must be defeated.
Let this be a wake-up call to the Bush administration, as well.
Abdul Rahman is only one man among many like him. He just happens to be getting noticed, perhaps because his own family turned him in.
As we can see from the moderate Muslims (oxymoron, in my view), Christianity is hated. And liberals beware: They hate you more.
That brings us to a hardliner — Iran's president. I'm convinced he's one of the hostage takers in the late 1970s.
Forget diplomacy. Forget the United Nations. Like that scares him. I'm sure he's thinking, "Oh, no. Not a U.N. resolution."
Even if we try, Israel won't delay. And they shouldn't. Just as they took out Iraq's nuke program years ago, Iran's surely will not survive.
Wake up and smell the turbins!
Scottyboy gone!

 Get to know Scottyboy
 

Scottyboy is home.
I'm Scottyboy. See it, learn it, don't forget it. You'll be hearing from me often.
I'm a staunch conservative Christian. I'm a heterosexual Christian man. I AM the minority.
I'm pro-life, anti-big government, pro-children, anti-NEA. I'm anti-illegal immigration, pro-War, pro-military, pro-gun, anti-wimp. Therefore, I'm anti-Kerry, anti-Kennedy, anti-Dean (but he's funny), pro-Rush, pro-Bush (about half the time). I'm a Reaganite through and through.
My theology is Hank Hanegraaff; my life application is Chuck Swindall.
I'm a second-degree black belt in song moo kwan tae kwon do, but I don't follow the eastern crap. I'm pure Bible.
Liberalism annoys me to no end. It's contradictory at best, but mostly pathetic hypocrisy.
Church people annoy me more than liberals. That's right all of you pew-warming, cold-hearted, trouble-making church people. You turn people off with your Bible verses on your hand and ice in your hearts.
I'm with you on believing in the infallibility of the Bible. But you foolish hypocrites talk a good game when life is good. You spew venom when it gets rough. Church women look Christian women up and down; they talk them down, make them feel like they don't belong. Church men are more into being the smartest man in the room than than the kindest. They serve on committees and boards and make decisions. If the church doors are unlocked, they're there. But when you need help with something, good luck getting help from the church man. The Christian will help.
If pews were barstools, maybe more would be saved.
Liberals are liberals because they're stuck in their sin. They defend it. They're doing what sinners are supposed to do. They're sinning.
Not that Christians don't sin. We do. But church people — not Christians — are fake. Y'all need to get it right, you got that straight?
Here's the order of importance in my life:
1. Jesus Christ
2. Family (wife and kids)
3. Others/self
My future posts will focus on the politics of liberalism and issues on which they get it wrong.
For now, Scottyboy gone!
