Oh the outrage of it all...the murderous rampage that the Arab world went on over the bogus story from Newsweek that someone flushed a Koran down a toilet...
Yet...there has been little notice...NO PRESS THAT I CAN FIND... on this story:
Palestinians used Bible as toilet paper...
Muslims' desecration of holy book received little notice...
Once again, our main stream media chooses to ignore a story that should have you standing up and shouting in anger...
While Muslims have responded with deadly outrage to the now-retracted report by Newsweek of alleged Quran desecration by U.S. interrogators, there was little outcry three years ago when Islamic terrorists holed up in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity reportedly used the Bible as toilet paper.
Catholic priests in the church marking the spot where Jesus was believed to have been born said that during the five-week siege, Palestinians tore up some Bibles for toilet paper and removed many valuable sacramental objects, according to a May 15, 2002, report by the Washington Times.
Newsweek is under fire for a report in its May 9 edition that sparked protests and rioting across the Muslim world resulting in 17 dead, scores injured, relief buildings burned down and a setback to years of coalition-building against terrorists....
...The Palestinian gunmen, members of Yasser Arafat's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, seized church stockpiles of food and "ate like greedy monsters" until the food ran out, while more than 150 civilians went hungry, the Washington Times report said.
The indulgence lasted about two weeks into the 39-day siege, when the food and drink ran out, according to an account by four Greek Orthodox priests trapped inside. A church helper told the Times the quantity of food consumed by the gunmen in the first 15 days should have lasted six months....
I ask you...
Where is the outrage?
Where is the MSM on this story???

Illegal Aliens Draining Our Healthcare System
From a very long list of grievances that illegal aliens are responsible for in this country, Arizona's Senator Jon Kyl lays out the huge costs and burdens that illegal aliens are placing on our healthcare system:
...The estimated annual cost to hospitals and other providers of emergency health care nationwide for illegal aliens is $1.45 billion. According to congressionally-commissioned research from the MTG Corporation, the annual cost to just the 24 counties along the border in Texas, New Mexico and California exceeds $200 million, and for Arizona's four border counties alone it's $32 million per year.
These unreimbursed costs, and other health-related issues, have put Arizona hospitals in a state of dire fiscal emergency. As a result, some have closed, or are in danger of having to close their emergency rooms and other services.
We have had hospital and emergency room closures here due to unpaid medical bills from illegals that cross the border for health care reasons...
...afterwards, they go back to Mexico and leave us to foot the bill...
...ain't it interesting...THEY'RE fine...THEY got medical care...and we get closed medical facilities...

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS...
Sixteen DEAD, HUNDREDS INJURED...and all Newsweek can say is "oops"...??
On Sunday, Afghan Muslim clerics threatened to call for a holy war against the United States.
"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Whitaker wrote in the magazine's latest issue, due to appear on U.S. newsstands on Monday.
The weekly news magazine said in its May 23 edition that the information had come from a "knowledgeable government source" who told Newsweek that a military report on abuse at Guantanamo Bay said interrogators flushed at least one copy of the Koran down a toilet in a bid to make detainees talk.
But Newsweek said the source later told the magazine he could not be certain he had seen an account of the Koran incident in the military report and that it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts.
Whitaker told Reuters that Newsweek did not know if the reported toilet incident involving the Koran ever occurred. "As to whether anything like this happened, we just don't know," he said in an interview....
...Newsweek reported that Pentagon spokesman Lawrence DiRita reacted angrily when the magazine asked about the source's continued assertion that he had read about the Koran incident in an investigative report. "People are dead because of what this son of a bitch said. How could he be credible now?" DiRita told Newsweek....
...The May 9 report, which appeared as a brief item by Michael Isikoff and John Barry in the magazine's "Periscope" section, had a huge international impact, sparking the protests from Muslims who consider the Koran the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence.
Desecration of the Koran is punishable by death in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Newsweek... said it was not contemplating disciplinary action against staff...
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

Mexico's Vicente Fox Reveals His Racial Views...
Mexico President Vicente Fox came under criticism Saturday after saying Mexicans were willing to take jobs ''that not even blacks want to do in the United States.''
Fox's remark Friday came a day after Mexico announced it would formally protest recent U.S. immigration reforms, including the decision to extend walls along the border and make it harder for illegal migrants to get driver's licenses.
''There's no doubt that the Mexican men and women -- full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work -- are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States,'' Fox said in Puerto Vallarta on Friday.

John McCain Joins Ted-dy Kennedy in Effort to Grant "Instant Amnesty to the Millions of Illegal Aliens Who Have Successfully Broken Our Laws"
As if the Border Patrol being ordered to stand down wasn't enough.....
Now, our own Senator - John McCain - who continually shows his true colors - has joined forces with the drunk murderer Ted Kennedy to sponsor a bill...called...The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005...
WTF??
"Secure America"???
"Orderly Immigration"???
Just WHO do these jokers think they are talking to????
"The section on 'border security' consists of little more than the commissioning of a few more government reports and working groups -- and the rest of the bill is dedicated to expanding taxpayer-funded health care and instant amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens who have successfully broken our laws," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus.
McCain is definitely a R.I.N.O. and for any of you here in Arizona that have any doubts to that statement, email me and I will explain...
This is disgusting...
Kennedy is quoted (and I heard the sound-bite) as saying "This bill is not amnesty. This bill does not provide a free pass to anyone. This bill does not give an automatic pardon to anyone. This bill does not put those that have been illegal that are here in the United States at the front of the line," Mr. Kennedy said....
Um...ya...sure, Ted-dy...
They pay a lousy $1,000 "fine" and everything is "fine", right?...then after six years, another $1,000 fine to obtain a green card signifying legal permanent residence....
Only problem is...green card holders eventually can apply for citizenship....
Not Amnesty???
Then WHAT IS IT???
And - by the way - just what are you going to do about all of the money that has been paid from us - the TAXPAYERS - for services and free medical care these illegals have been getting...all the while not paying a damn dime of taxes...and sending all of their money back to Mexico...
Those idiots sure have it figured out, don't they?
Don't try to stop or impede the flow of illegals...oh...NO....can't do that...
...just write a bill that will "legalize" their illegal actions...
Sickening...

Border Patrol Ordered to "Stand Down" and Allow Illegal Aliens to Cross the Border...It Is A Case Of the Inmates Runnning the Asylum...!
I tell ya....I feel like someone that has just emerged from a coma...only to find out that the bad guys are winning...that the world has turned upside down...
This is so horrible...if it wasn't true, I would swear that I was living in a terrible nightmare...an alternate universe...
...what am I talking about, you ask?...
....after ALL THE WORK...all the dedicated people that participated in the Minuteman Project...and - believe me when I tell you - it WAS SUCCESSFUL!
Proof of that statement? Why - the PROOF is in the fact that the Border Patrol has now been ordered to Stand Down...and allow ILLEGALS to cross right before their eyes and...the Border Patrol is to DO NOTHING TO STOP THEM....
The reason for this insane order??
The REASON???
"..for the purpose of trying to say or to prove their point that the Minutemen’s did nothing, didn’t help, really had no effect on apprehensions..."
Andrea Shea-King, a talk show host in Florida, broke the story:
Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado revealed a bombshell on last night’s program. And it’s news you probably WON’T be hearing about in the mainstream media.Here’s what Tancredo told us:
“As I was waiting to come on the show I got an email from a very credible source within the US Border patrol, and he has just told me that Chief Nicely of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has ordered that the apprehension of illegal aliens coming across the same area that was being patrolled by the Minutemen Project are to be kept to a minimum. And in fact his directive, according to this source, is to make sure than apprehensions even are below that that were in progress during the Minutemen presence on the border, for the purpose of trying to say or to prove their point that the Minutemen’s did nothing, didn’t help, really had no effect on apprehensions.
“We all know this is absolutely untrue --- we all know what was happening on that border, on that 23- mile stretch before they got there and what happened while they were there, and it was a huge, huge difference. This is another example of the degree to which the Administration, the Management of the Border Patrol and others will go in order to not confront the issue of illegal immigration into this country and essentially not be made fools of.”
Tancredo said the border patrol agents have told him they cannot talk publicly about what is really going on.
The US Border Patrol has been ordered to “forward deploy” by Immigration Control. “Forward deploy” is the term used by Immigration Control to describe the order to US Border Patrol agents to sit in their patrol cars on a specific spot and DO NOTHING while the illegals stream past them.
During last night’s interview with Republican Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, an outspoken critic of the Bush Administration and Congress’ failure to protect our border, Tancredo says he believes the move is a direct attempt to discredit Minutemen Project volunteer border observers.
Tancredo believes the purpose is to prove their point that the Minutemen were of no help in assisting in apprehensions, another example of the degree to which the Administration and the management of our Border Patrol will go.
“There are people in this Congress and, I believe, even the president of the United States…” who would open our borders in an effort to create a one continent nation.
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!
After all the hard work, the efforts by dedicated, loyal Americans to make the point that - Hey, the borders are POROUS...to go to these lengths just to 'save face'...I mean...this is CRIMINAL for the Border Patrol to be ordered to ALLOW ILLEGALS TO CROSS AND DO NOTHING!!
Let me tell you - and this only REINFORCES IT...the Minuteman Project WAS SUCCESSFUL...and there will be more of these efforts...and Desert Rat will participate...
Just because there are people willing to break the law to save their ass...it won't stop us...
More than 850 volunteers, in a protest of the lax immigration enforcement policies of the White House and Congress, sought to reduce the flow of illegal aliens along a popular immigration corridor on the Arizona-Mexico border near Naco by reporting illegals to the Border Patrol as they crossed into the United States.
Their goal was to show that increased manpower on the border would effectively deter illegal immigration. Organizers said the protest resulted in Border Patrol arrests of 349 illegal aliens.
Area residents, in a half-page ad in the Sunday edition of the Sierra Vista Herald, told the volunteers: "Thanks for doing what our government won't -- close the border to illegal aliens. It was the quietest month we've had in many years ... You made us feel safe because the border was closed."
IT WON'T BREAK OUR RESOLVE TO GET THE ATTENTION AND PROTECTION OF OUR BORDERS THAT WE DESERVE!
