My last post was just for fun; not on important issues facing us in the next several months. Today's post is on an important subject I've not addressed recently. Illegal Immigration!! We as a Nation are again working on the Border Fence between us & Mexico to deter Illegal Migration here. I believe this fence will do little more than employee several hundred workers at present. My reasoning is as follows.
This fence most likely slow down the influx of humanity to this Country somewhat! The fence by it's self will not stop this migration. Why, you might ask? IF for no other reason, We have not stopped why they are migrating here; Employment. The fence only increases the difficulty of coming here. Other measures are required along with the fence to stop it.
As a Nation our Government must enforce our laws especially ones that include Immigration; The Government is not doing the job in this area; they apparently are not concerned by this influx of Illegal Migrants. Some potential steps towards solving this crisis.
First make it economically not cost effective for employers to hire illegal persons; this current is not the case.
Second stop the financial drain on every legal citizen of this country by not allowing the free medical, school, and welfare services available to all who apply. This is costing every legal citizen, Naturalized & Native Born, Billions of dollars every year which could be put to use instead for legitimate social services.
This! bye the way will not require an additional influx of new Laws & Regulations. Will it require revisiting & updating current laws & Reg's, it certainly shall. Our Government isn't going to begin this task without our forcing the issue.
The first step should be accomplished by substantial 1st. time fines, increased with each repeat offense. Repeat offenders should be prison candidates, whether individuals or corporate officers. It shouldn't take long for the jobs these individuals are migrating here for to dry up & be filled by true citizens.
Many readers will think this is harsh, maybe so; but the alternative is National Bankruptcy, which I do believe most would like even less.

Spring Time - Hooray!
Wow, It's been about two weeks since my last post. It's been quite cold here on the high deserts of California. I haven't had much time for computer things like Blogging, too many honey-do things going on & I'm tired of the FAB Three Presidential Hopefuls Blather. Lina my wife & I are preparing for several trips away from home this spring & summer. Looks like it should be fun.
Trip #1 - A short trip about 3 to 4 Days over to the Ocean somewhere between Ventura and Santa Barbabra, which is about 2 hours away. We will use this trip to remember how to travel in our RV.
Trip #2 - Up to northern California to our Granddaughter's wedding in May. WE will be close to Shasta Lake & plan on spending several Days fishing & relaxing, before we head over to Priest River, Idaho to visit friends & yeah more fishing. From there we will return home through Northern Nevada, visit with a daughter & her family before heading home through Las Vegas.
Trip #3 Yet to be determined! certainly hope it will be fun also, perhaps a group trip with good Friends.
I'm relaxed now this post certainly was easier & more pleasant to post, than the last several post centered around many important things occurring in Our Great Country. My
only conserns at present are centered around weather We as a Nation can begin returning to more conservative positions.

Presidential Choices
It would appear we are going to elect one of three candidates for President of the United States of America. All three are somewhat alike but uniquely different. Two are democrats, or is this a correct assumption? The following is my assessment.
Senator Obama; He is a Democrat who happens to be black. Over the last several days he has faced a crisis in his candidacy for president, namely the Reverend Jeremiah Wright; his philosophy and comments for the last 20 years or so, and more importantly what's the Reverends influence on Senator Obama. The Senator has slid by during this primary race using very creative & tremendous oratory talent with virtually zero substance being presented. We as a voting public know very little about His philosophy. What change does he envision for America and how does He plan to implement these changes? Remember He has very limited Government experience. We will know shortly whether he becomes the Democrats Nominee for President or not.
Senator Clinton; She is a Democrat who happens to be the only Woman Candidate. We the voting public pretty well know where and what She stands for. I find it very interesting of her claims to vast experience on how to manage the executive office. My wife accompanied me on several business meetings in distant Cities & Countries prior to my Retirement. Can we extrapolate She has great business acumen based on these trips? I think not! Her presence on these trips neither added nor took away from the business at hand. More importantly we have observed first hand Her management acumen during Bill Clinton's first Presidential Term. Do you remember the universal health care package management? I do & I wasn't impressed.
Senator McCain; He is a Republican? Well he has at least won the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States of America. If one reviews the Senators public record, most would question his Republican credentials! He likes to be described as a maverick Politically, which should be examined carefully. What does that label mean to Him? How does he vote on critical issues, Amnesty for example; He co-sponsored the amnesty bill with Sen. Kennedy! Yes! I have heard HIS Recent statements about his past record & recently changed positions; this coming from a Person who wants to be elected as President. I have heard reference to his legendary temper & vindictiveness towards those who have had the audacity to oppose His wishes. That my friends is any one who considers themselves a Conservative. We have also heard claims to His superior military management experience. I gratefully thank Senator McCain for his sacrifices and military service to our Nation & do not wish to denigrate it. However;That being said, was actually as a fighter plane pilot. This does not require any Strategic planing what so ever, so much for being better prepared to be commander in chief.
Of the three Liberal Candidates, there is little to choose from! I am gravely unhappy with all of them. Presumably McCain would be fiscally more conservative than either of the True Democrats Candidates with their Tax & Spend Philosophy. You could hope for better Supreme Court nominees from McCain than either Obama 0r Clinton. As for any of them being better prepared to be Commander in Chief on day one are greatly exaggerated! The choice remains Yours, My only request of you is to vote your intellect & not by the eloquence of the speaker presenting their cause.

Who for President?
The Republican Party has selected John McCain as their Presidential Candidate, Huckabee's not dropping out of the race at this point is amusing. He can not obtain enough delegates to be nominated. Ron Paul was never a serious candidate to begin with.
The Democrats Still have two potential nominees remaining; Clinton & Obama. I predict Obama will be the winner as the Democrat party's nominee. No matter which candidate is successful; I really do not think either would be a good president if they remain true to the core beliefs they have stated.
Having said the above I think conservatives really have no choice other than John McCain. I'm not impressed by him but; I believe he will be closer to conservative Ideals than either Democrat Presidential Candidate. J. McCain professes belief in the core Republican Platforms. This alone places him ahead of the other two, who claim the socialist position on every issue discussed.
In the end every one needs to vote their conscience, I can only hope it's for conservatism.

I've been convinced; vote for Mitt.
I have rather conservative views on most things especially; government size, fiscal responsibilities, & a strong belief we Americans need to be more self reliant in all things. That being said several fellow bloggers have convinced me that conservatives need to support some one other than allowing the democrats the 08 presidential election by default.Most convincing have been; Patrick Conlon & Lemuel Calhoon in their post & follow up comments to me.
All though far from perfect if one reviews their overall performances " Mitt Romney & John Mc Cain" Romney is less of a risk based on their records than McCain. My reasoning is as follows.
John McCain has consistantly behaved more in the LiberalDemocrat party mold than any Republican party's conservative position. I will not comment more beyond the Amnesty bill, Finegold McCain bill, the Bush tax cut (He did not support for the wrong reasons). If you need more data look up his record, you might be suprised by what you read.
Mitt Romney is much more liberal in his professed views than I prefer, I think he is somewhat more liberal than President Bush, & I think we all know what a disasterous mixed effort he has put forth. Mitt does have some favorable elements going for him. He has a proven record as a good businessman, He has an acceptable record as governor of Mass. a very liberal state, He does appear soft on most social issues (no body's perfect) but overall better than McCain.
I there for encourage any one reading this post; Vote for Mitt as I have been convinced to.

Fred has given up & dropped out of the Presidential race. It's a sad day for America. He and Duncan Hunter were the only true conservatives in the race. What to do? I will have a very difficult time supporting any of the remaining candidates. Here are a couple of suggestions ;
1) Support the surviving Republican Presidential candidate in a loosing contest to the eventual democrat party's candidate. There is no way we can or should try to out liberal, the liberal parties policy's.
2) Wright in your own name in as your presidential choice in both the primary & general election. This action will send a clear message to the RNC we are tired of having to support the
"lesser of two evils" type of candidates.
We conservative Republicans need to start a national campaign to use the wright in option for President on our ballots in 08. By using this ballot option it sends a clear message to potential national office seekers; Liberals need not apply because we the Republican Party will not support you. The present administration is a prime example of how liberalisn does not work.

Republican Presidential Candidates
The 08 presidential Candidate selection process is an interesting group of individuals to say the least . This group can be divided into four major sub groups.
A = RINO'S
B = Isolationist
C = No chance at all
D = Right choice
The group A Candidates; Giuliani, Huckabee. & Romney I have defined as RINO's. All three gentlemen have very liberal records during their terms of public office.
The Group B Candidate
A = RINO'S
B = Isolationist
C = No chance at all
D = Right choice
The group A Candidates; Giuliani, Huckabee. & Romney I have defined as RINO's. All three gentlemen have very liberal records during their terms of public office.
- "Mayor G's" record during the Twin Towers Disaster was exemplary however; the balance of his official Government duties have been quite liberal & leave a lot to be desired, specifically Gun Control & Gay Rights positions.
- Gov. Huckabee; his tax & spend administrations leave no doubt about his actual position on most issues. He actually is probably politically left of Congressman Obama. Not as HE presents himself! He also apparently believes that all criminals are salvageable & to heck with the safety of law abiding citizens..
- Gov Romney; Is today what you want him to be & will Gladly switch his position for YOU tomorrow if required to obtain your vote for president. He is Definitely part of the Republican Elitist Eastern Establishment.
The Group B Candidate
- R. Paul is the only apparent Isolationist in the Candidates. He is to be commend on his views of our current Government size & the domestic direction our Country is headed. His views concerning our place in world affairs just won't work in today's world climate. I agree with him about how our state department conducts business with other countries. We as a Nation Should be leading the world in the direction of free Democratic Republics & stop wasting our resources on Countries such as Germany, France, Italy & to some extent Great Briton as long as these countries are not supporting the US A's best interest. For these reasons I can't support him.
- The remaining are probably very fine gentlemen with out a chance of attaining the Presidential nomination.
- Mr Hunter First, He has an excellent conservative record in congress, His position on border control is appropriate, he is fiscally responsible & would make an excellent president however; his chances are slim, I hope he will be selected as a Vice Presidential running mate.
- Mr. Thompson, Is by & far my choice for the next president of the Unite States of America. He Has demonstrated very level well thought out position on all the major issues facing us as a nation. He has shown a good understanding domestic & international problems facing our nation. He is the only candidate to present in depth detailed plans to address issues such as Social Security, Border & Immigration control. He has also demonstrated He believes that the second amendment means You have the absolute right to own a gun. This right is absolute if for no other reason than the USA is a Republic, with a democratically elected government . the government has no other rights than what We the citizens have vested to them.
