Dear Deb, don't worry about rambling on. I like to do the same too. :-) I think I have registered with about six temp and staffing agencies but same old problem that the positions they have call for bilinguilism and/or low pay (under the rate of pay I started at my old job) which I don't mind so much as I'm flexible but I always get bypassed because they usually fill in the jobs they have with Hispanics.
yes having to do emails at times can be a pain especially if it is to deal with domething work related
The weekend was good Saturday snowed just about all day long today mostly sunny with some snow melting, , some studying need to do more but just trying to get myself to do it.
Good evening Deborah hope you had a hreat day, enjoying the evening , and overall a great weekend.

Dear Deborah, thank you for sharing. I do have a few ideas. Virtual assistant and translation services was one idea. So far though the virtual assistance field is too crowded already. There's an oversupply and little demand. That's no good. Same with Translation, especially here in Miami, for translations from Spanish to English. I thought of selling "something", starting from E-Bay and then online from my personal website. So far I cannot come up with that "something", something that people might want to buy from me, that I can make or buy that won't cost an arm and a leg.
Hi Deborah hope you had a great friday enjoying the evening have a great weekend

Hi Deborah. Thanks for sharing your info with me. I've been out of work the same length as you, lost my job on July 28. Have been applying to both private and public sectors, been to a few interviews but so far, results have been Zip. Sometimes I just don't feel motivated to apply for anymore jobs. But I guess I can't give up. I wish I could set up my own home business but I am not very entrepreneurial, nor do I have the "seed" money or the initial investment you have to make to launch a business. Would you give me some tips?

Am I the only one that isn't blown away by the Classico's? They taste really nice straight out of the can, but after cooking I feel these qualities vanish. I keep it simple for NY style... uncooked sauce on the skin, a pinch of oregano, maybe salt & sugar depending on the taste out of the can. I've also had some disappointment with my Sunday gravy.
Its after the bake, they almost taste like paste.
The ground are a little on the "thin" side, you may need to use more, and it may well be drying out during cooking. The crushed are chunkier and I prefer them over the ground. Sometimes the crushed will be a bite watery, I like to run then through some sort of strainer to get rid of a little of the excess liquid. If you don't find Classico's to your liking, give Sclafani crushed tomatoes a try. They are much thicker and taste great, but they aren't available at Walmart and they aren't on sale for a buck!
. There are two different brands though. The one packed by Don Pepino is the right one.
The Don Pepino Sclafani's are the right ones, they are New Jersey grown tomatoes, the company was recently acquired by B&G Foods. The other Sclafani, which is headquartered in CT., imports and sells Italian grown or produced products.

Nina Swaep, volunteer, British Museum
When I started working as a volunteer at the British Museum last September, the preparations for Hajj: journey to the heart of Islam were already in full swing. Luckily, that didn't prevent 'team Hajj' from including me as one of their own. Today's my last day and I've been looking back on my time at the Museum with much fondness!
Being a Dutch MA student in Museum Studies specialising in Islamic Art at the University of Amsterdam, I was absolutely convinced that participating in this project would be the ultimate work experience for me. In Amsterdam, I had already done research on museum objects that related to the pilgrimage to Mecca – one of which is now featured in the exhibition – and I was willing to learn everything there was to learn. I wouldn't really mind if my job would consist of pouring coffee and copying files, as long as I could get a closer look at the process of exhibition-making…
So you can imagine I was more than happy to find out that my tasks were a lot more challenging and demanded academic and social skills. The curators took me up and patiently showed me how exhibition making works. I could join meetings with them and found out that it's not just a few people working on projects like these, but an immense organisation that takes years to prepare the exhibition.
Come winter, my work was focussed on the Indonesian section if the exhibition which features objects from Dutch museum collections and, more specifically, the collection of the Dutch arabist Snouck Hurgronje. I had worked before on the Aceh Map (which is on display in the exhibition) when I was in Holland but I had the opportunity to do some more research while here at the British Museum. I found out that, compared to all the other images featured throughout the exhibition, it shows a rather different representation of the Ka'ba. For one it isn't shown as a cube but as a rectangle, which seems strange because the cubical shape is one of the main characteristics of the Ka'ba. Also, one can see through it, so it is shown without a kiswa, the cloth that covers the Ka'ba. These finding confirmed the idea that the maker of the Aceh Map had never actually been to Mecca – he could never have seen the Ka'ba without its kiswa, since, as one can learn in the exhibition, it is never unveiled.
The most enriching experience I have had whilst working on the project was contrary to all my expectations. It didn't have anything to do with the glamour of the opening night, nor with the rewarding feeling when the exhibition finally opened to the public. It was a lovely autumn day when I found myself sitting at my desk, being deeply emotionally moved by the short clips of Muslims talking about their own pilgrimage, which I had to edit. I think the feeling of being an individual person amidst the millions of fellow pilgrims, brothers and sisters, must be completely overwhelming and to me the exhibition succeeded in communicating this to its visitors. The exhibition is particularly successful because of the wonderful balance that has been achieved between showing intimacy and the bigger picture of the Hajj being a phenomenon influencing millions of people around the world. It works on multiple levels and is therefore very satisfying.
As my time at the British Museum comes to an end, I can say that this has indeed been the ultimate experience for me; meeting many wonderful people, learning so much. I think the meaning of the exhibition became very apparent to me. Although I cannot go on Hajj myself, like many Hajjis, the Hajj exhibition has certainly changed my life for the better…

Skip to comments.Why Hispanics Dont Vote for Republicans [because they tend to favor big government]
Posted on 11/08/2012 8:31:33 PM PST by WilliamIII
The call for Republicans to discard their opposition to immigration amnesty will grow deafening in the wake of President Obamas victory. Hispanics supported Obama by a margin of nearly 75 percent to 25 percent, and may have provided important margins in some swing states. If only Republicans relented on their Neanderthal views regarding the immigration rule of law, the message will run, they would release the inner Republican waiting to emerge in the Hispanic population.
If Republicans want to change their stance on immigration, they should do so on the merits, not out of a belief that only immigration policy stands between them and a Republican Hispanic majority. It is not immigration policy that creates the strong bond between Hispanics and the Democratic party, but the core Democratic principles of a more generous safety net, strong government intervention in the economy, and progressive taxation. Hispanics will prove to be even more decisive in the victory of Governor Jerry Browns Proposition 30, which raised upper-income taxes and the sales tax, than in the Obama election.

"hispanics" don't vote for republicans because of historic oppression of "hispanics" by republicans through the juan crow laws.
The irony is that they come to America to escape inefficient/corrupt big governments that have crushed their home economies and in search of a better life.
And what do they do? They want to change America into the hell hole they just left.
I do not know the exact percentage, but my educated guess is there are a lot of Hispanics getting free money from the government. I see a whole bunch of young Hispanics who can't even speak English, at the social security office when I have to go there to make changes to my social security account. That office handles many government benefits such as food stamps and welfare besides social security. By the way Social security is an entitlement, not a free benefit. We seniors paid FICA taxes all our working lives.
Looking to the giant wasteland south of me...I'd say I can see why, it's been a raving success.
hispanics dont vote for republicans because of historic oppression of hispanics by republicans through the juan crow laws.
Really? Give some examples. but at least you're admitting it isn't immigration issues that keep hispanics from voting Republican.
It was the kenedy/democrat 1965 immigration act that was the seed for the ocean of 3rd world immigrants, hispanics, illegals etc that we see. This was the goal of Democrats : import foreign socialist voters by the millions and so they are reaching the tipping point in America. even with the socialist media and gov schools they couldn't turn enough Americans into voting for socialists/democrats . but they always had the blacks but knew they needed more so they imported them and still are. if we don't stop this immigration then we have to secede.
And they seem to be succeeding in doing that.
This may all be true and probably is but, I still say we need to get an an inforcable immigration law in place (e-identification cards, penalties for emplyers who hire illegals, guest worker programs, etc). It's what's best for this country even if it doesn't necessarily get immigrants on our side. The majority of Americans support this, too. We may need to give amnesty in return but, good g-d it's time to get something real in place.
People who come here looking for freedom have never had it and don't know what to do with it, and people who were born with it don't want the responsibility of it. It's a paradox.
There are exceptions ~ not enough though.
I briefly visited my Facebook page yesterday before deactivating my account. One of our friends who happens to be of Mexican descent and whose wife is the same voted for Romney/Ryan. He was very disgusted with his fellow Americans and their love of abortion, gay marriage, etc. He is Protestant /Evangelical. He is from the streets of LA and has a lot of scars from his youth. He is among the few individuals I would entrust my children to his care. He believes in God, and he believes there are consequences for actions. He works long hours to provide for his family, and he has since we met him. We know other Mexicans who are of similar mind set. They are all Protestant. The Catholic Mexicans we know vote for big government. On the other hand, my BFF is Catholic, and she and her family are conservative. So I don't think that all Catholics are looking for government to do the work of the Church. My BFF's family comes from a land ravaged by Islam. Maybe that makes a difference.
There is nothing Republicans could offer Hispanics,Asians etc. to make them vote for Republicans. most are foreigners and just don't believe in our values of freedom and limited government.Amnesty would bring tens of millions more illegals and Hispanics in. This is the democrats'/socialists goal and always has been. This Amnesty has to be opposed at all costs.

This was the goal of Democrats : import foreign socialist voters by the millions and so they are reaching the tipping point in America. even with the socialist media and gov schools they couldn't turn enough Americans into voting for socialists/democrats . but they always had the blacks but knew they needed more so they imported them and still are. if we don't stop this immigration then we have to secede. This is war. This is a foreign invasion of people who do not share our values and they are turning our country into one of theirs a 3rd world socialist hell hole.And democrat traitors invited this invasions. we have treat it as a war, an invasion and the treason that it is. The goal of democrats is destruction of America and socialism: so they invited an invasion to help them accomplish that goal.And we sit here bickering against other conservatives instead of doing what we know we have to . And it's not just hispanics other foreigners Asians for example had 75% for Obama as hispanics did have 75% also, blacks 95% for Obama.
Freedom of Choice is what you've got.
Freedom From Choice is what you want.
During the last big immigration wave(1880-1910) it was 30% of the new immigrants that went back to the old country-couldn't hack it here-no freebees.
the Democrats are balkanizing this country because that works for them. The george soros types want it because it works for them. Hispanics are more than happy to assist because it works for them too. This country will not survive Balkanization. The second amendment is all that matters at this point. Our lives and our freedom will depend on it. they know that. they'll make a big move against second amendment rights in the next 4 years. We should make that our line in the sand.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
Prager Zeitungon
This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper
I live in L.A. so i can get a better understanding of my neighbors...
They are the ones who are racist. They're like blacks who automatically vote Dem and they refuse to speak English, even in the company of non-spanish speakers. They think they own Cali. That's why you almost never see the mexiclowns hanging out with white kids. The races just don't mix here.
LOL, holy crap!!!
LOL, holy crap!!!
Because they like government feeding their kids. Because they like free health care. Because they like section 8 housing. Because they or their parents or grandparents were illegal aliens.
Catholicism is the State Religion of Mexico among other countries.
Why should they think the Government isn't paying for it?
I'm guessing that detecting sarcasm really isn't your specialty, Dr. Watson.
My Mother, who grew up rather poor in southern California in the 40's, has the kind of attitude one might expect about these people, but the other old ladies don't seem to see a problem.

Zero doubt that full amnesty is coming very soon.
Even close elections like Tuesday will soon be a distant memory. The Dems could run Karl Marx against Jesus Christ next time, and it would be Marx in a landslide.
All the rules have changed. We can either leave, or else learn the new ones and fight to survive.
I don't think there will be much chance of actual prosperity in the future, but with careful planning, survival is doable.
The name "Devo" comes "from their concept of 'de-evolution' - the idea that instead of continuing to evolve, mankind has actually begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society."
This idea was developed as a joke by Kent State University art students Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis as early as the late 1960s.
It's no longer a joke.
And they made it into a movie, "Idiocracy."
Typically RCs prefer small limited..."
Unfortunately, it's not strange at all. They're homogeneously loyal before they're RC. Which we could take a lesson from.
But we won't.
Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner! You are so right.
Well if the border was not wide open before it is now. They got there wish. The country as we new it is gone.
puro ...
La Experencia - Joel Guzman Y Sarah Fox
In other words, Hispanics don't understand that the states are supposed to uniquely provide the government services, Massachussetts' RomneyCare for example, that the unconstiutionally big federal government is now providing.
I cannot think of one RC country in the history of the world that preferred small limited government. It's ironic you stated this unhistorical statement to William III himself. Why do you think he chased James II right out of the British Isles during our fore fathers Glorious Revolution. Because RC's do not prefer limited government. Granted, RC's have adapted well and have embraced limited government here in America, but left to their own devices, they have not.
You have actually hit on the *WHY* so many conservatives are dead set against "comprehensive immigration reform". We *DID* 'give on amnesty' before, and got nothing but broken promises in return. We do not care to go down that same road again, for we are not, after all, fools.
Any promises given to us in exchange for giving in on amnesty will, just like the last time, be unfulfilled "hot air", and we know it. We are not "Charlie Brown" forever suckered into attempting to kick a football which is going to be pulled away...
the infowarrior
Welfare. Straight up. No other reason.
Methinks you are a bit confused here.
Mexico doesn't *have* a state religion, and in fact the PRI (THE major political party in Mexico) has a rather long history of persecuting Catholics, even going as far as using the regular Mexican Army to KILL both Catholic clergy, and their congregations in the 1920's-1930's. Google the Christero War to get informed.
FWIW, the Catholic Church did not receive the minimal guarantees of their right to worship under provision of the latest Mexican constitution until the 1980's.
If THAT is being 'the State Religion' I'll eat my hat...
the infowarrior
Infowarrior is correct. For the record, here is a list of countries that have some form of Christianity as their state or official religion:
Costa Rica
Vatican City (theocracy)
Eastern Orthodox
Finland: Finnish Orthodox Church (unofficial, not the state religion of Finland, per say, but has a special relationship with the Finnish state.)
Denmark (Church of Denmark)
Iceland (Church of Iceland)
Norway (Church of Norway)
Tuvalu (Church of Tuvalu)
England (Church of England)
Scotland (Church of Scotland)
As you can see, outside of the Vatican, Catholicism is the only the official "state religion" in a handful of tiny, obscure nations. Having a large percentage of Catholic citizens doesn't make it the "official religion" anymore than it makes tacos the "official food" of Mexico. This list also shows you that liberal ranting about how "Christian rule" is "just as bad as Islamic rule" is total BS. In the RARE case that a country does have Christianity enshrined in the Constitution as the official "state religion", not one of them is a dictatorship that jails non-Christians and forces everyone else to convert to the religion or die.
The Hispanic knows the Democrat will work to create a easy pathway to citizenship. There is a reason why Democrats want more Hispanic citizens. Democrats have found that they can easily buy the Hispanic vote with social programs loaded with freebies. It is a symbiotic relationship which guarantees huge numbers of Hispanics becoming citizens. The Hispanic uses his vote potential as political capitol. The Hispanic vote uses the Democrat politician for immigration reforms that will enable more Hispanics to become citizens and to get more freebies.
This mechanism threatens the Republican Party who sees the danger of unrestrained Hispanic immigration and citizenship. The Archilles' heel of course, is the freebie. By eliminating the freebie, there is no marketing for the vote. That would take a big chunk out of the mechanism.
Oh please. These guys probably didn't even know they were voting. The Dims don't need them to be there at all.
zero spent about 5 trillion extra dollars on his constituents.
this led to an extra 2 million votes which is what he won by.
brilliant strategy
hispanics are on the public dole about twice the rate of whites.
the future is not bright .
I've suspected as much for years. Like Rush said, it's difficult to defeat Santa Claus.
"And what do they do? They want to change America into the hell hole they just left."
Seems to mimic the eastern europeans who came here to escape oppression, who turn to the very same ideas that made them flee where they came from.
Absolutely amazing.
A better place for them all would have been Cuba, so they could be embraced by the all-emcompassing love of Mr. Castro. /s/
Yeah, they love their big corrupt Gubbmints so much the risk life and limb coming here.
Like the rest of the Demonrat base they are ignorant and will believe anyone who tells them they are being screwed by the white man.

OXFORD – Former Lafayette County narcotics squad leader Searn Lynch has a new trial date in federal court.
Late Thursday, a federal judge moved his May 11 date to April 15 to face an indictment accusing him of seeking painkillers by wrongly going to multiple doctors.
Lynch pleaded not guilty a few weeks ago.
He also is charged with carrying a firearm while he allegedly committed the crime.
Senior U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers presides over the case.

Skip to comments.America's Most Dangerous Gang - MS13 - Violent, Vicious, and Spreading Fast.
Posted on 02/20/2005 10:53:56 AM PST by Happy2BMe
America's Most Dangerous Gang
by Shelly Feuer Domash
Spreading from El Salvador to L.A. and across the United States, Mara Salvatrucha 13 is increasingly well organized and deadly.
Within one hour, two people were found murdered miles apart in suburban Nassau County, N.Y. After an intensive investigation, police officials learned the murders were the work of the violent street gang Mara Salvatrucha 13. It also soon became apparent the gang was sending a bold message to its members and associates. That message: If you are not loyal, you are dead.
But there was another message in the brutal slayings for the people of Long Island. And that message was that gang violence had moved into the upper middle class enclaves of the Island, into the kinds of communities where the locals assume that crime is somebody elses problem.
Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13) is unfortunately becoming everybodys problem. This plague that came to Long Island from El Salvador by way of the streets of Los Angeles follows the same migratory patterns as the Salvadoran immigrant community that it preys upon, fanning out across the United States from ethnic enclaves in California.
Coming Together
Until recently, MS-13 wasnt that big a player in East Coast gang culture. The reason for its weak position in the East Coast crime world was obvious: It wasnt very well organized. MS-13 was comprised of a group of cliques that operated independently of each other.
No more. Law enforcement officials now report that gang members from across the country have come together to unite affiliated groups up and down the East Coast. The leadership for these cliques is now coming from as far away as California and even from El Salvador.
Robert Hart, senior agent in charge with the FBI, says that when individual groups of MS-13 unite, the results can be devastating. The cliques, instead of operating independently of each other, are beginning to come together, Hart explains. The difference is by doing that, obviously you have a much tighter organization, much stronger structures and, instead of having various cliques doing whatever they want, wherever they want, there is one individual who is the leader and is able to control the payment of dues and the criminal acts they engage in. The result is very, very similar to what you would see in what we refer to as traditional organized criminal families.
Finding Sanctuary
Los Angeles and New York law enforcement and even politicians are aware of the impact of MS-13 on their streets and on their crime statistics. So theyve taken action. The results are usually not stellar, but at least these cities have recognized that MS-13 is a problem. Unfortunately, the leadership of MS-13 is not stupid. Once the heat comes down hard in L.A. and New York, they head for new turf, choosing Midwestern and Southern and suburban cities where gangs are not an issue and local officials and authorities are in denial.
And once MS-13 takes hold in a community, it grows fast. The gang reportedly has some 300 members in suburban Long Island. A few years back it didnt have any.
Once MS-13 shows up on the radar, some local officials and authorities will take action. In Nassau County, for example, a joint gang task force headed by the FBI and comprised of local police departments, has arrested 16 leaders of MS-13. They were charged with two murders, assault, conspiracy, and firearms violations.
Such investigations arent easy because MS-13 has a pretty strident zero-tolerance policy toward anyone who informs the cops of their activities.
Court papers reveal that one of the Nassau County defendants was captured in a secretly recorded telephone conversation detailing how he killed a male victim because he had provided law enforcement officials with information and that he had put one in his chest and three in the head. In another recorded conversation, a second defendant said he killed a young female because, in part, she had also provided information to law enforcement.
Fighting Back
The senseless violence of MS-13 has shocked the local citizens of Nassau County, so the Nassau County Executive appointed a gang czar to deal with the increasing gang problem.
A seasoned, dedicated officer, the new czar, in reality, will find it difficult to accomplish what he has been mandated to do. His department, like many across the nation, is at its lowest staffing levels in recent history, and he has been given no additional personnel or resources to combat the problem. The public was placated by the appointment, but while politicians put Band-Aids on deep cuts, the problem continues to escalate on Long Island.
And Long Island is not alone. Nationally, police departments are dealing with the surge in violence emanating from MS-13 members.
In Charlotte, N.C., 53 gang members were arrested as part of Operation Fed Up, which targeted MS-13 members. Officials in the medium-sized Southern city say MS-13 has been involved in at least 11 murders in the Charlotte area since 2000. And with a membership estimated at 200, MS-13 is by far Charlottes largest gang.
Some 400 miles north of Charlotte, the northern Virginia and southern Maryland communities around Washington, D.C., have become MS-13 turf. Local authorities estimate that there are between 5,000 and 6,000 MS-13 members in the metropolitan area.
And where MS-13 goes, violence follows. In July 2003, an 18-year-old federal witness was stabbed to death; last May, a 16-year-old boy had his hands almost completely chopped off with a machete; and a week later a 17-year-old was shot and murdered. All three crimes were tied to MS-13 members.
The rapid increase in MS-13 activity along the corridor between Charlotte and D.C. is simply explained by Det. Tim Jolly, a gang specialist with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The area has the nations second highest population of Salvadoran immigrants.
Gang of Chameleons
One of the more unusual aspects of MS-13 when compared to other street gangs is that it is extremely flexible in its activity. While some gangs are only into drugs, MS-13 will do any crime at any time.
Sgt. George Norris, supervisor of the gang unit in the Prince Georges County (Md.) Police Department, says MS-13 doesnt sling drugs in his jurisdiction. We see mostly citizen robberies, auto theft, shootings and cuttings, and homicides, he says, adding that drug sales by MS-13 may be just a matter of time.
Violent and Vicious
When MS-13 moves into a new community it tends to announce its presence with violence. The same can be true when a new leader takes over the local cliques.
Norris says gang members from other areas had once been able to join the new gang by simply being jumped in. But now that new leaders have moved into Prince Georges County and consolidated the cliques, the gangs local culture has become more violent and vicious.
According to one of our informers, things have changed, says Norris. Now in order to get your letters or clique [symbols] tattooed on you, you have to also put in some violent act to show your commitment.
Cop Killers
And MS-13 violence is not restricted to civilians, rival gang members, and clique traitors; the gang will go after cops. Threats against police officers, known to gang members as green light notices, have increased so much in the past few years that the Virginia Gang Association has warned officers in Virginia and states to the north and south to be wary of MS-13 members.
Charlotte-Mecklenburgs Jolly says he is aware of the threats against police officers in his community and in Virginia. Prince Georges Countys Norris says hes heard them, too. If you do something to them, their natural response is, OK, Im going to kill you, he says. Or at least they talk like they will.
Norris dismisses some of MS-13s threats, but that doesnt mean that officers should take all MS-13 threats lightly. The gang is extremely violent and it has attacked and will continue to attack anyone who gets in its way. That includes law enforcement officers.
Roots of Evil
Named for La Mara, a street in San Salvador, and the Salvatrucha guerillas who fought in El Salvadors bloody civil war, Mara Salvatrucha 13 was organized in Los Angeles in the late 80s. At first, the gangs primary purpose was to defend Salvadoran immigrants from being preyed upon by other L.A. street gangs.
But like any other street gang that was created to defend a particular ethnic group, MS-13 was quickly perverted until its primary purpose was preying upon the Salvadoran community. It also violently defends its turf against any other gang that might seek to slice away a piece of its action.
Gang members sometimes wear blue and white, colors taken from the national flag of El Salvador. They can also sport numerous body and even face tattoos. However, some members are much less visible and therefore much more dangerous.
Recent reports indicate that MS-13 has expanded from California to Alaska, Oregon, Utah, Texas, Nevada, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Washington, D.C., and Florida. The gang has also been exported back to Central America.
Back Home
Its estimated that there are 36,000 MS-13 members in Honduras alone. In Honduras, according to a March 2004 report prepared by the Washington, D.C.-based, right-wing think tank the Maldon Institute, MS-13 has, with increasing frequency, resorted to leaving a dismembered corpse, complete with a decapitated head, as a calling card. Recently, according to the report, such a grisly message was left with a note for the Honduran president.
The note is supposed to have stated the gangs displeasure with an August 2003 law that made it illegal to be a part of a gang. Under Honduran law gang leaders can be sentenced to prison for up to 12 years and rank-and-file members from six to nine years, just for being in the gang. A gang member can be arrested for simply having a tattoo.
El Salvador has also launched a crackdown on MS-13. A police offensive called Operation Strong-arm has resulted in the arrest of more than 4,000 gang members.
For MS-13, these are small losses. The gang is nothing if not mobile. When it feels heat in the U.S., it moves to another state. When it feels heat in El Salvador and Honduras, it sets up operations in Mexico.
The Maldon Institute report indicates that MS-13 appears to be in control of much of the Mexican border and, in addition to its smuggling and contraband rackets, the gang collects money from illegal immigrants that it helps [move] across the border into the United States.
The ultra-conservative Maldon Institute is known for doomsday predictions when it comes to the U.S.-Mexico border. But there can be no denial that MS-13 is very active in smuggling people, drugs, and guns across the border. And independent reports indicate that many illegal immigrants have been assaulted, robbed, and even raped by MS-13 members.
Mexico is now taking steps to fight back against MS-13. In December, Mexican authorities arrested 224 gang members in response to what they called a threat to national security. Among the arrests were members of MS-13 who were charged with trafficking in drugs and firearms across Mexico and Central America.
Illusion of Cooperation
While some of the Central American countries appear to be cracking down on MS-13, serious problems still exist. And they are being missed by politically correct reporters who want to tout U.S.-Latin American cooperation.
For example, on Long Island, the media was quick to cover an agreement between El Salvador and Suffolk County to share information on MS-13. What the local reporters didnt cover was a much more serious issue. If these gang members commit serious offenses, they can return home, and there is no extradition agreement. And, of course, they are doing so in increasing numbers.
I would say that between Honduras and El Salvador, there are seven or eight people we are seeking to take into custody, says Lt. Dennis Farrell, head homicide investigator for the Nassau County Police Department. Proportionally, if you take that across the country, the numbers are astronomical, the number of people who have probably fled to these two countries.
Farrell says that two gang members who his detectives are looking to arrest for two separate murders are now living in the same town in El Salvador. He calls the situation extremely frustrating. You undertake a very in-depth and comprehensive investigation, pursue all possible leads, build a case, essentially conduct a successful investigation, only to have it thwarted by the fact that after having identified the killer or killers, you are unable, under the present international agreements, to return them to Nassau County to face murder charges.
Even more than that frustration, how about the injustice and sense of desperation on the part of families who have lost loved ones? Where is the measure of justice? There is really no justice for those families, and absent some reworked or new initiative between our state department and those sovereign states, I dont see any change in this condition in the foreseeable future, Farrell adds.
In addition to extradition treaties, many gang investigators believe stricter and more uniform laws are needed here in this country. According to Charlotte-Mecklenburgs Jolly, one of the reasons MS-13 has migrated to the East Coast is the strict anti-gang laws on the West Coast. He also believes that, with the stricter gang laws in Central America, many MS-13 members may be coming back to the United States illegally.
Long Arms
With the number of MS-13 members growing nationwide (some cliques now even accept non-Hispanic members), and the violence escalating, the future for law enforcement appears grim.
They adapt to what the police do, says Prince Georges Countys Norris. They will change the way they operate, depending on the way things are enforced by the police. If there is no enforcement, they will wear their colors and bandanas because in the communities they are in it is common knowledge and the people fear them, so it is a form of intimidation.
Once the police recognize and confront them, they will change and wear different colors from the blue and white, no bandana on their head, maybe now in their pocket, and instead of the number 13 they will wear 67 or 76 because it equals 13. They adapt so it is a continually evolving thing.
While the nation focuses on terrorism, the issue of gang violence has taken a lower priority. But to many, the violent acts of MS-13 members are more of an everyday threat that is being overlooked.
Only criminals, cops, and the rich have guns.
Sure. Of course. :)
They're the left hand and the right hand of the same enemy.
"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans."
--Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985
Unbelievable! When we first moved out to L.I. in 1948, it was mostly potato farms and a few bedroom communities. As far as I can recall, the ethnic makeup was Irish, Jewish, and Italian and that was pretty much it. Violence was non existent and the educational system was the finest in the country.
How things do change!
"Things" have changed more in the last five years than they have in the last twenty. And under a Republican House and Senate majority and a Republican president I might add.
Where are the 'conservatives?'
Oh yeah. This guy's just waiting to become a hard-working, productive member of American society...
Happy, will you put me on your ping list. I seem to miss some of your good posts. Thanks!
Thanks for the info........will watch.
No problem.
some more underbelly for ya
Illinois better watch out too
Thanks- I need to research them.
Now, how hard is it to spot this walking billboard of antisocial behavior and have some civic minded magician make him and his ilk disappear?
I'm in complete agreement. I believe the philosophy of "self help" we're trying to instill to the population of Iraq is applicable to us as well. Why should we wait on the government as the Iraqis wait on the coalition to purge their country of internal terrorists when we are completely capable of "cleaning house" ourselves. The problem is that no one want to get involved because it's easier to just turn our collective heads and pretend that by ignoring the matter will make it go away or in the worst case scenario that "the law" will take care of the matter.
If the law was capable of taking care of the matter then it wouldn't exist, would it? The law and the law enforcement agencies can not do anything unless something happens. So, in essence, it is in their interest to allow things to happen so that they can establish their relevance, after the fact.

As a resident of California, I can assure you that many people who are not criminals, not cops, and not rich, own firearms. No, the California constitution does not contain a right to keep and bear arms, but there are plenty of firearms owned legally by average other than rich, cop, or criminal types.

"LA Gang Growing In Utah
Local law enforcement are keeping a close eye on a fast growing gang that started in Los Angeles, and now has members here in Utah."
(Mar 4, 2005) --
SALT LAKE CITY-(KSL News) --
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Los Angeles Police Detective Tony Moreno is in Utah to teach law enforcement about the MS13 gang. He says the gang likes quiet communities where they can take over."

He should be head of the FBI.
It is all politics of course, I wonder if it is a matter of balance of criminal activity or evidence to support conviction or expulsion. If organized criminal activity does not warrent a national security risk then what qualification is required for DHS to assess as threat. MS13 has been targeted however it is almost double talk that other gangs are allowed to operate while engaging in "criminal" activity. Of course the divisions between domestic, criminal, and martial actions against a political state are clear and orginization should be known, however it is political states that accept criminals as required that set up systems for lax allowances of "illegal" cultures, simply the cultures themselves engage in "illegal" activities as per required, it is simply a matter of what is seen as acceptable preying. If resistance is given to police officers where oposition is armed you can expect the chance of weapons discharge, it becomes a threat when the underdog "criminal" is on even ground. If police and then paramiliatary national security forces are unable to deal with the situation then it becomes martial considering organiziation for ongoing resistance is likely ongoing if open resistance is active. The martial aspect is grave national security risks emergency situations. It seems redundant to have the divisions DHS is a partial example with the joining of all paramilitary "civil forces", these are not "civil" forces they are equivlent to combat forces trained in investigative and deterent of "non modern combat forces" with upwards of 150 000 personel. The only thing perhaps seperating Military and paramilitary activities is what is seen as containment rather then erradication, it is also seen as "inhumane" to commit exterminate of captive soilders in military law, however that does not mean it has not happened.
It is gross neglagence to allow criminal activity to be ongoing, however the clear line between intervention and assualt is a basis of recognition.
In my opinion the division of martial forces creates a class of acceptable activities against the state. It becomes purely political where damage to the state is benifical to the politics, where politics builds the state. It is all just corrupted personal bias and it is unfortunate that the forces that play in militant politics exist, but heck since when has it been a free world? It is a police state run by the political ambitions of he who holds the most might. Of course you can abandon this notion and acheive "freedom" but in the world it leaves you.
No drugs? That's odd, maybe they will make some connections in jail. It is unfortunate when the thugs arn't on payroll, serving society? Who's society? Twisted bastards.
What I don't get about gangs is how they mark themselves for identification, it just seems lacking of intellegence.
They do what they do I geuss, but you can't say theyre terrorists they wear their uniforms ALL the time.
I understand it is just what people beleive is righ, no offence it just seems negligent, what is an offense, POLTITICS? Such a thin line between cherry picking and winning, where my cows at? WHSPH
Now to say something that ins't obvious, all this intellegence gathering if tough work we can't just arrest everyone we don't like... or can we.. time give it time.
BIG BROTHER YOU HAVE FAILED me *shivers*
MUST START gang that tatoes little cutesy panda bear on a beach ball.. that'll make em all looks stopid, panda bear gang strikes again. anyway /endrant
How ignorant can you be??? You people act as if MS-13 is only a problem here. MS-13 is a bigger problem in Central and South America then it is here. I have faced accusations from people here saying that I am a MS-13 member just because I'm from El Salvador. Thats just ridiculous. You people have 2 understand that these people have had a rough past with the Civil War killing more then 20% of our population (70,000 people). Now they want to make immigration laws STRICTER then they already are for people coming from Latin America?? Bush needs to take his head out of his ass and think for once in his life. Same problems Americans face..Latinos, especially Salvadorans, face, too.
AGREED there hespanics, blacks ,asians ect. face the same damn problems
Good rant, but missed completely.
America's Most Dangerous Gang
There was a time when people stood up against evil men. When the murderers were hung in town square for every one to see. A time when a man was either for this country or not. When Pearl harbor was attacked, we responded with nuclear force and the situation was solved. When the nazi's were doing their genocide tour, the world stood up together and crushed them. There was a time when the word Community, meant somthing. Human trash like MS13 parade up and down your streets, threatining your children and you stand idol. Teenagers beeing mutilated with machettes, police officers being assasinated. Fogrein terrorists murdering by the thousands. And what do americans complain about the most? Gas prices. What do they focus on? American Idol. I am ashamed to live under the same flag as these so-called Americans. I long for the day when the average american has a back bone and does somthing about it. I long for the day that the average american decides to quit depending an incapable (or unwilling) government to act. YOU, my fellow americans are the ones who are going to have to do somthing about it. The United States is THE LARGEST consumer of cocaine in the world. Our government beat the Nazi's....but it cant beat a drug dealer? Do you realy believe that you and the government have the same goal on that subject? The most powerful nation to ever exist, and we cant beat a street gang? This is a load of crap and it is not the america that they advertise. You know what I think. I think its time for EVERY american to man up. Every one has alot of hard talk, but no follow through. The average american is scared. The average american is too affraid of true sacrafice. Too affraid to give what it will take to get this country back on track. And most hide behind the excuse that, our ancestors made those sacrafices so we wouldnt have to. Well, ya know what, the corruption, hate, tyrrany and the totolitarianism is back. Now what.What will we do? Sit around, point fingers and stick peices of paper in a box to pitt against each other to see who has the right to make the next lame attempt. Yeah, I can see our modern society doing that, before standing up for itself. I believe in what america used to be, what it once was, and what it still could be.....but what it is......what we have let it become, is not looking too pretty. YOU decide whether or not MS 13 will strike fear into your community! You decide whether or not that dope dealer will stand on YOUR street corner! YOU decide what happens to those who terrorize your community! YOU are america. You are free. Act like it. You are now free to go back to watching the simple life.
And just wondering, exactly how many are illegal aliens?
No, we don't need to close the borders...
buuuuuuuuuuummmmmppp !!!!
Teach your kids early, and often that skill-at-arms is an indispensible support of Freedom, and knowing who to kill, when, why, and what to tell the Judge later, are all presonal duties that come with the territory.
And DO NOTE I said "kill"; if your plan is not to guarantee that the target meets God NOW, don't even bother pulling your piece. Artsy, fartsy shoot-to-disable moves are pure Hollywood, and the first step toward missing your target entirely, which -- when it really counts -- is likely to get you good and dead.
Determine to kill the assailant, or just plan to be a good little victim -- like ones in the obituaries.

Skip to comments.Newt Gingrich to Appear at Tea Party Forum in Winter Park Saturday
Posted on 01/28/2012 6:44:55 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
click here to read article
"Last nights Greta was very good for Newt. It gave him an opportunity to state the fact that Romney lies in the moment (i.e. at the debates) forgetting that there is a tomorrow where his lies will be exposed.
I honestly believe it was Romneys operatives that forced Herman Cain out."
I agree; I thought the Greta interview was excellent. I hope it was widely seen by Floridians. Also, though I think Herman Cain had his own problems, I believe you're right about Romney's involvement. My husband was listening to the Neal Boortz show some weeks ago. Boortz was talking to Jamie Dupree, who claimed to have a source that proved Romney was behind it.
And now Newt will not feel beholden to the establishment at all. I heard he was saddened by the actions of people he had thought were his friends. His eyes have been opened.
In truth, I would like to see Newt and Sarah work with the Tea Parties and start a new political party - The Conservative Party. I especially would like to see it happen following this Nov.'s election. I call the republican establishment liberalites They see their role as spending our money on causes they think are important without regard to what their hard working base wants.
I fear Romney will be the Republican nominee. I don't think Romney will beat Obama because he won't be able to handle the message when the media and the democrats attack him in the same manner he has done to Sarah, Perry, Cain, and Newt. Romney has been given a free ride so far from the media, but as soon as the nomination process is over with, then he will feel the full brunt of the MSM. It won't be pretty.
I think the Rep. establish believes that the low enthusiastic turnout for Romney will be higher than the low enthusiastic turnout for Obama. What a god-awful election that would be. Romney can't get his supporters to show up now, just like McCain four years ago, and Dole years ago so who will stand in the rain at a rally for him in the summer? Not I. I suspect his rallies will be giving out free food and beer just to draw a crowd.
I hope Newt follows Reagan's path and picks up stream as the process goes forward. Heck, he has faced the storm and if he can survive there is not much else that with which to smack him down.
I am sorry that NC's primary is not until May. I think super Tuesday will be the final opportunity for Newt. I wish Florida was not a winner take all, in fact I wish none of the states was winner take all. I like the way SC did it. It seemed to be fairer than letting he who has the most money for ads (Iowa and FL) have the most influence.
Good luck, Newt. I am hoping you take Florida because we need someone like you to force DC to change. Only Newt can make republicans do what they campaign on.
I couldn't wait! :-)
House Minority Whip Gingrich and 7th District congressional candidate Brenda Fitzgerald throw mock tea crates into the Chattahoochee River on April 15, 1994, as part of a "Taxpayer's Tea party" in Roswell, Georgia.
Great post. It used to be that candidates did not take votes for granted.
Wrote a letter to Santorum's campaign last night BEGGING him to resign. I urge all Freepers to do the same today.
A Sunday night resignation would be most effective.
Come ON Rick - we need you!!!
If he did, HE, more than anyone else, would be in THE prime position to rally and/or shame these GOP-E'rs into getting behind Newt. It would be SO powerful.
Praying for Rick. Praying for his supporters to do the right thing — let's live to fight this fight!!!!
TAX DAY 1994 - Politicians play with ire - Gingrich , others stage stunts touting frugality
The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution - Saturday, April 16, 1994
Author: ALEXANDER, KATHEY, Kathey Alexander STAFF WRITER: STAFF
As procrastinators put the finishing touches on their tax returns Friday, politicians across the nation carried out carefully crafted stunts aimed at landing the votes of irate taxpayers.
In Roswell, U.S. House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) touted fiscal conservatism by staging a mock tea party on the banks of the Chattahoochee River . Conservative Republicans tossed empty produce crates into the river in symbolic re-enactment of the incident in Boston 221 years ago when colonists dressed as Indians dumped tea into the harbor in rebellion against the government.
More than 200 similar rallies occurred throughout the country, including Boston, San Francisco and Detroit , as candidates used the tax filing deadline as a forum for one-upsmanship on frugality.
"Americans literally work every day for months just to pay for a government that wastes their money," said Gingrich , who is seeking re-election from the 6th district. "On the day taxes are due, we should remind you that you have every right as a citizen to protect yourself, your family and your wallet with your vote."
Hey, no problem — as long as we get it out there!
Newt's no stranger to Tea Party values ...he's been LIVING and WORKING this issue his entire career — a lot longer than many of us have been paying attention.
Of course the guy has had to bend here and there ..that's the nature of politics, sorry. But underneath it all ..I am rock certain that this is where his convictions lie — at least as close as we're going to get.
Less government
No to tyranny
No to higher taxes
No to the Establishment!!!
Thanks for posting this....Florida is important of course and we need Newt to win this for us all!
Santorum is the spoiler and we simply have to do this without him...get the word out!
Anybody who votes for either Rick of Ron in the Florida election is just insuring a Romney canadicy. There is zero value in either Rick or Ron in Florida. This is all or nothing election for 50 delegates up for grabs. Get a grip on this reality and vote for either Newt or Mitt. Don't waste your vote on Rick or Ron. They have no chance of winning Florida and therefore will not benefit in winning any delegates. Thats why Rick and Ron pulled out and went home. All you hard core Rick and Paul supporters will be helping Mitt if you vote for your candidate in Florida. Help us stop Mitt in Florida and then you can go back to your guy in the succeeding elections.
Cincinatus' Wife might be able to answer that question. I pinged her to this post.
Maggie's post points out that Newt has been with us from the start. Can you get the clip to tea party "leaders"
Rebellion is Brewing.
Sarah and Newt have read the tea leaves.
I have the same feeling in the pit of my stomach as I do when I'm watching my nephew 'come back' from being behind in a tennis match - I think Maalox stock has gone up because of me :-) Go Newt!!
Get the clip to them and then CONTRAST it with whatever Romney was doing at that time ....running to the left of Kennedy or some such thing.
The contrast is GLARING!
Outstanding idea. Nothing like a good timeline to make a case!
Rooster, this is exactly the perception that has appeared. Romney is simply throwing money around, but there is no message, no connection to the hearts and minds of the voters. We need to remember that this is a Republican primary. Republicans see the world quite differently from liberals. We value substance. Romney's attacks are more about destroying Newt than connecting and conveying a real message to the voters. This is why he is having such a difficult time getting to 40% approval, even though he is spending such a tremendous amount of money.
Romney's support is bought. Newt's support is felt. Two very different drivers.
CW, I am all set for you to run for office. Thx for all you do! Now. About Newt. Heard the $5 million extra never showed up, from the Vegas backer. Anyone know anything more about that? False report maybe, intended to demoralize?
Wrote a letter to Santorums campaign last night BEGGING him to resign. I urge all Freepers to do the same today.A Saturday night or Sunday MORNING 'suspension' would be even MORE effective (BEFORE the Sunday morning news programs)!
Newt should have the following private conversation with Rick...

Newt! The first Tea Partier! 1994
House Minority Whip Gingrich and 7th District congressional candidate Brenda Fitzgerald throw mock tea crates into the Chattahoochee River on April 15, 1994, as part of a "Taxpayer's Tea party" in Roswell, Georgia.
Don't forget to send it to Sarah and even Rush.
thanks . . . consider it done, sent to Sarah & Rush
I got an Amy Kremer e-mail this morning but there is no candidate's name attached ... are they not backing Newt in FL?

Republican rally ' teas ' off on rising taxes
Boston Herald (MA) - Saturday, April 16, 1994
Author: Bill Hutchinson
As Bay Staters rushed to beat the tax return deadline, Republican Newt Gingrich led a Boston waterfront rally against high taxes and government waste.
As part of the noon event, eight rallygoers in headbands, feathers and warpaint re-enacted the 1773 Boston Tea Party and threw wooden tea crates in the harbor. It offended some American Indians.
But organizers said they didn't mean to offend Native Americans. They argued they were staging the historical event to demonstate how angry people are about high taxes today.
The Georgia congressman bashed President Clinton as a tax-and-spend ring leader and said taxpayers will have to work until May 5 before "you get to work for any kind of income for your own family."
He urged citizens to take action, saying, "Government only gets as big and taxes only get as high as citizens tolerate."
Taxes way down the list of voter concerns, poll shows
Houston Chronicle - Wednesday, April 13, 1994
Author: THOMAS B. EDSALL, Washington Post
Christine Todd Whitman, the Republican victor in New Jersey, came from 20 points behind to defeat the incumbent, Democrat Jim Florio, after she pledged to cut state tax burdens substantially.
"I worked for a month on the Whitman campaign, and we won that race on the tax issue," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, who noted that Whitman took less popular stands on welfare and crime than did Florio.
"The (Democratic) left bragged about how Florio (who raised taxes) was going to be the prototype of the Clinton re-election campaign," Norquist said. "They lost for precisely the reason that the public does care about taxes."
A number of conservative and Republican leaders are planning demonstrations for Friday to revive the issue.
House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich , R-Ga., and Norquist are organizing re-enactments of the 1773 Boston Tea Party in Boston, Indianapolis, San Diego, Atlanta and Washington. Norquist said smaller demonstrations, many to collect signatures for anti-tax referenda in various states, will be held at post offices.
"It's not as hot as in the late '70s, but it does help us a lot to remind voters which party raises taxes," Gingrich said. "You don't have the kind of bracket creep pressure you had in the 1970s (before the system was indexed to inflation), but wherever taxes have been on the ballot, they (proponents of lower taxes) have won, and where Republicans have made taxes a campaign theme, they have won."
Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour said he plans to speak in San Francisco on Friday, and "my message will be very plain: Look at your tax return and decide whether you are getting your money's worth."
Maybe a law issue....DOn't political packs have to be registered and audited.
OTOH the MSM wants us to believe that Romney has the tea-party support: heard it both on CNN and Faux this morning.
As Sarah said, It's time to "party like it's 1773".
Just heard back from Patricia Sullivan (Tea Party head in Fla) who said she's forwarding the pic to her contacts. ;)
If Sarah set foot in Florida at a TP rally the next two days Newt would win. I am not even sure she can because of Fox but it would be "Game ON."
So the AP is attacking Santorum? Who's surprised by that?
I do love that Newt's campaign is already lining up to blame Santorum IF he were to lose. Seriously, if you're a great candidate, then people WANT to vote for you. If they don't, then it's not a slight on your competition, it's a reflection on YOUR candidacy.
Honestly, Romney pulls 25% consistently. If you can't win just over ONE THIRD of the other 75% to beat him, then how do you expect to beat Obama???
It would appear that Newt Gingrich is the father of the modern Tea Party Movement.
I have one question for you Newt supporters.
If Newt cant be trusted to keep his own Wedding Vows, why do you think he can be trusted to keep his Oath of Office?
Voting politics over principles only gets you unprincipled politicians. It NEVER results in the opposite. If we cant grasp this simple truth and continue to select politicians with no core principles, then no amount of reform is going to help the GOP and its time to strike the tent for good.
I'm not throwing my support to Romney, but I'm not settling for a lying, cheating, whoremonger who can't even keep his own wedding vows. He's proven to be untrustworthy in his private life, that eliminates him from trust in his public life.
It has been very uplifting to read all the positive responses in this thread about Newt. Especially the ones on the battlefront in Florida. I will make another donation to Newts campaign today to help Newt in the final push for Florida. GO NEWT GO!
There is a Tea Party rally at 1:30 then the AWAKE Conference at 3:30, same location!
Avalon. Name ONE time when Newt did not keep his promises to voters when he served in Congress.
If anything, Romney flip flopping all the time on issues means HE cannot keep a promise to even stick to ANY set of core beliefs.
By thinking this way, you will ENSURE Romney's re-election. Then what do you get?
Get real. You have to.
If I am not mistaken, newt's been with the same woman and same wife for well over a decade now. No one is excusing his past, but the pros severely outweigh the cons at this stage of the battle.
"If Newt cant be trusted to keep his own Wedding Vows, why do you think he can be trusted to keep his Oath of Office?"
I have two questions for you:
1) King Solomon had many wives. KingAhab was faithful to one. Which was the king who enjoyed God's favor?
2) On a secular note, President Reagan was divorced and remarried. President Carter is still married to his first wife. Which man was the better president.
I have two more questions for ALL of the sanctimonious, skivvies sniffing prigs out there:
1) Which one of you is sinless?
2) Pursuant to the above question, are you now going to throw that stone you are clutching, or are you just going to stand there and bleed?
Answer like your soul depends on it, because it just might.
Thanks Maggie for the 1994 article!
Newt has been Tea Party for 28+ years!!
And what was Mitt doing in 1994???
At this stage of the battle, votes for Santorum translate into a win for Romney. It's clear.
And a win for Romney means either the milktoast middle of the road mindset prevails. This means NOTHING gets done to advance conservatism. Nothing.
If a Romney win translates into a win for Obama, the pro-life cause will be all but SILENCED. Already Catholic healthcare institutions are being forced to prescribe birth control pills against their will among other evil injustices. What would be next?
I can't even imagine what would be next. It would be the triumph of the Culture of Death, perhaps for decades. What they do we say to the unborn? What do you say to your children, who will be saddled with debt for the rest of their lives? What do you say to our elders, who will face dwindling healthcare resources and a culture that says to them: you are useless after whatever age WE dictate as the cutoff. Now, take this pill and go home.
Romney wins and we conservatives are OUT of the fight.
Please, think it through.
Good Lord, I hope you're right.
I look at the Coptic Christians in Egypt, and I can't help but think — will this be the fate of Christians in America someday?
I've always felt it would be, with how our culture is changing. We are essentially killing ourselves with our inability to unite and fight this. And ironically, Newt is the ONE candidate who states one of his main reasons for running is to battle anti-Christian bigotry going on in our country.
It's really frightening.
Romney has certainly p*ssed me off!
Dear Psalm 144,
Uh, wow. That was a great response. Thank you :)
Wife two has a large FBI file which states she was "mentally unstable" She would have been in jail if the charges against her weren't dropped with a plea agreement.
( Got caught in Paris selling "?????" influence)
Wife number three got him involved in the church. Both of the previous marriages were annulled. He became Catholic and takes communion. God's grace. Do you believe in it?

"I love wearing high heel, who doesn't . So I'm always looking for heels that won't kill my feet.Love these shoes!! The heel is very comfy and it runs true to size. I received them today and I'm already wearing them for an interview"

"AH! I got so many compliments when I wore these! They are not the MOST comfortable but they definitely were comfortable enough for an 8 hour work day! I like the thicker heel a lot, too. I would definitely get these in all the colors if they had other color options. The only complaint I have (minor) is that the zipper on the back sort of makes a noise as you walk. Otherwise, these were very comfy and adorable."

TriCaster 40 - Professional Component Connectivity
Professional Component Connectivity
Today's video producers often debate which type of camera connections are the best to use in live video production. TriCaster 40 was designed with SD/HD analog component, Y/C and composite inputs specifically because it delivers great quality, reliability and value to a new entry-level range of customers.
- Quality. For entry-level live productions, HD component delivers superb quality. Not only can users produce full resolution HD video in 720p (ideal for live web streaming), but also 1080i, the preferred HD format for post-production. And TriCaster 40 owners don't have to worry about signal degradation over long cables. Degradation arises quickly over even modest distances for HDMI cabling, which is why most HDMI manufacturers warn customers to limit cable lengths, or convert to another format. In addition, there many cameras with HDMI outputs that do not work in live mode (providing only tape-playback) – so although HDMI is a modern format that can be a great digitizing solution, it is not yet a proven solution for live video broadcasts.
- Reliability. Unlike HDMI connectors, component connectors lock in place, which is critical for live production where cables can easily get knocked around, causing interference – even blackouts – a real danger for a live production with no opportunity for do-overs. Nearly all newer and older camera models continue to have component outputs, making the TriCaster 40 extremely "plug and play" and less vulnerable to accidental disconnects.
- Value. SDI connectors are very popular on devices used by seasoned video producers; but SDI cameras are typically very expensive – often quadruple the price of more economical component cameras, or even more. TriCaster 40's analog component connectivity opens the door to a whole new group of schools, bloggers, churches, and small business who want to produce HD-quality events, but keep their total cost of ownership low by not forcing them to purchase new, very costly cameras.

Immigrants today are transforming the United States, and not just in areas historically associated with immigration, such as California and New York. Since 1990, Nebraska, Kentucky, Minnesota and Idaho have all seen more than a 200 percent increase in their non-U.S.-born populations.
That's why working effectively with immigrant communities is a growing concern for U.S. law enforcement professionals. For community policing to be effective, police must establish trust and partnerships with area residents—a task that can be more difficult when language and cultural barriers interfere with ease of communication.
Read the documents in this section to learn how law enforcement agencies are building stronger relationships with recent immigrants, and how they cope with particular issues—such as day laborer sites—that can arise with some immigrant populations.
Law enforcement agencies may face many challenges in new immigrant communities, such as dealing with nationality-based youth gangs and effectively communicating with victims, suspects, and the general population in their jurisdiction. Utilizing the community policing principles of partnerships and problem solving, agencies can begin to address many of these challenges. Effective communication between the public and the police is essential to community policing efforts.
Communicating with individuals whose primary language is not English and who have a limited ability to understand, speak, read, and write English is a significant issue. Such individuals are referred to as being "limited English proficient" or LEP. In order for law enforcement agencies to be able to partner and work with these individuals to address public safety concerns, they must first be able to communicate with them.
To address this challenge and other related issues, the COPS Office has conducted numerous projects including facilitating focus groups and developing relevant research and publications. In addition, nonprofit groups such as the Police Foundation, Vera Institute of Justice and International Association of Chiefs of Police have resources related to this issue.

Anyway, these gods were (Chinese, then Japanese names):
Qīnglóng Seiryū (The Azure Dragon, representing Spring and Wood) to the East;
Zhūquè Suzaku (The Vermillion Bird, representing Summer and Fire) to the South;
Báihǔ Byakko (The White Tiger, representing Autumn and Metal) to the West;
Xuánwǔ Genbu (The Black Turtle, representing Winter and Water) to the North;
Huánglóng Kōryū or Ōryū (The Yellow Dragon, representing the Changing Seasons and Earth) to the Center;
the 5th one rarely appears .
So as you can see:
The Azure Dragon - would have been Byakuya, since wood can be associate with trees and trees with sakura petals;
The Vermilion Bird - would have been Ichigo, since it is suggested that he might have a flame element, beside he already once stopped the phoenix spear;
The White Tiger - would have been Renji (his new clothes even have tiger straps), since his shikai is Zabimaru - Steel Snake, thus associated with metal;
The Black Turtle - would have been Rukia, since her element is ice and the turtle is associated with winter and water;
The Yellow Dragon - if it would have appeared - would probably be Ganju, since he was the only one to showcase a great potential and capabilities in wielding the earth element.
Also, sometimes they are also associated with certain traits and colors, like:
Dragon - Blue - Bravery (symbolizing Byakuya eventually overcoming The Fear Quincy ?),
Phoenix - Red - Kindness (Ichigo showed it multiple times),
Tiger - Green - Strength (yep pretty much Renji, especially the strength of his resolve and will),
Turtle - Violet - Versatility (I guess she can use her Zan, Attack Magic, Defense Magic, Trap Magic and Healing Magic and the like ?).

If you go hog wild over Hogwarts, or freak out over the Cirque du Freak series, or thank the gods for The Lightning Thief, then you're probably psyched about the new movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice hitting theaters July 14th.
In this movie, Balthazar (played by Nicholas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern day New York City. He's trying to defend the city from his nemesis Maxim (played by Alfred Molina whom you may remember as Doc Ock in Spiderman 2) but he can't do it alone. So he recruits a boy named Dave, a self-proclaimed physics nerd who has no interest in being a hero. Mix in some magic, lots of action, great CGI effects, and of course the ancient evil forces of darkness, and what do you get? The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Take a look at this action shot straight from the movie. Alfred Molina is the fire-breathing, evil villain who battles Balthazar and Dave. But you might not think so from this picture. What do you imagine he is thinking? Leave your caption in the Comments!
