We the citizens of this country are about to prove it

You’re in a hurry, you have to drop one kid off on one side of town and another on the other so you push a little harder on the gas pedal and a few minutes later you see flashing lights and hear the infamous words may I see your drivers license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. You enroll your child at school and you must provide records from their previous school, birth certificate, shot record, social security number, phone number and address or you cannot enroll them in school. You go to the ER, you must produce a valid ID, and proof of insurance, it is inescapable, that is unless you are in this country illegally you will not be asked for any of those things because they are afraid you will leave.

Change For Change Sake

Carolyn Hileman — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:03:05 +0000

You know how it is, you have a car it is a good car a reliable car, and sure it isn’t as new as it was when you first bought it but there is nothing at all wrong with it. You want a change, a newer model so you go trade in the old reliable car for something newer. And that is what the candidates are saying when they say vote for change, it a vote for change for change sake. Let’s think about it what exactly would you like to change about the United States? Would you like to change the fact that you have freedom of speech? How about we change the fact that we are one of the wealthiest nations in the world? What about freedom of religion? Would you rather not be able to choose where and when you went to church? Maybe you would like to change the fact that even though we have been told every day since Clinton left office that we are in a recession we are still working and still spending money. (more…)

Bursting the bubble

Senator Obama speaks eloquently when he refers to hope and reminds us all that there is hope in hope, invest in us and we will invest in you - great words but very unrealistic. First of all, the American taxpayers will be doing all of the investing while the government will be investing in what the liberals consider a good investment the poor, the down trodden the illegals and those who chose not to work. If you have a job and pay taxes you are not a good investment, they need those people who need stuff, like food stamps and welfare because while they may not work at a real job the one thing they will do is go out and vote and they will vote for the candidate who promises them some of the taxpayers money.

Semper Fi

Carolyn Hileman — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:34:26 +0000

Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina (and other Republicans) introduced a bill that would strip Berkeley of pork barrel spending.

The Semper Fi Act of 2008 would rescind over $2 million in hidden earmarks for Berkeley in the 2008 Omnibus Appropriations bill, and transfer those funds to the Marine Corps instead.

U.S. Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.) introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives. (more…)

Not with my money

Carolyn Hileman — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:16:49 +0000

If Berkeley’s behavior regarding the Marines were not enough to make me question where my tax dollars go this is, $2 million in federal funding that would be stripped by the “Semper Fi Act of 2008” — proposed by Rep. Campbell and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. — includes $243,000 in taxpayer dollars for the Chez Panisse restaurant to provide gourmet organic school lunches in the Berkeley School District. (more…)

If Berkeley and Toledo can do it we can too

Carolyn Hileman — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:19:36 +0000

Marines reservists from Grand Rapids were forced to cut short their training exercise in Toledo Friday.

The Company A 1st Battalion 24th Marines were conducting an urban warfare exercise at the Madison Building and Promenade Park. Then someone from the mayor’s office told the 200 Marines that the training area was no longer available and to leave the city.

The group was supposed to continue the training on Saturday as well. (more…)

The American people are in charge.

By now I assume the news of Romney dropping out has reality setting in. The fact is by hook or by crook John McCain is going to be our Republican nominee and if he can scare us all to death over the war he will be president as well. Never in my voting life have I ever seen a candidate get so close to the nomination with so many in his party threatening not to even vote if he wins. Kind of reminds me of the Clinton second term when everyone claimed they did not vote for him. Back then I figured it was just a bunch of people who were ashamed to admit they did, but this is different, this feels like the amnesty plan when they told us we were going to get whether we wanted it or not, here we are again being told it is over, it has been decided for you so calm down and deal with it.

City of Berkeley you are an unwanted city

Carolyn Hileman — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 14:56:21 +0000

The city of Berkeley has told the United States Marines they are unwanted invaders and as such it is my contention that they have also told the rest of America that if we still believe in them we are not welcome either, I consider this action to be a Secession of their rights to any federal funds from the United States and ask you my fellow citizens to rise up in defense of the few the brave the Marines call 1-866-340-9281 and demand that the city of Berkeley receive no more federal tax dollars.

They aren’t so bad are they??

Carolyn Hileman — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:28:28 +0000

They’re really not as bad as everyone make them out to be. They are a simple people, go to church, volunteer at school, volunteer in their community and yet so many people believe them to be pure evil. I suppose the way to end this misconception is to tell you about some of them. I will not be naming names and just about anything I put to paper could be said about any of them. He is a proud Grand Father who will show his grand kids pictures any time you ask and many times that you don’t. He lives a simple life, goes to work, comes home, watches a little TV and about the only time he gets real excited is when his team wins. She is a working mother, not by choice but by circumstances you really just cannot make ends meet with only one salary these days so in the morning she kisses her babies goodbye and heads off to work, after work she picks up the kids and heads home for her second job, you still got to eat and eating out is not a privilege that they have.

She is a stay at home mom who has noticed that most of the stores in her area are now covered with gang signs and is scared to shop there much less take her babies in. But she wonders the isles any way looking for a bargain she sees lots of people there and would love to talk to them but she does not know their language and figures they don’t know hers or they would be speaking it. She wonders down the isles and isles of ethnic foods just to buy some milk and macaroni and she wonders why it is she must go to the back of the store just to find a few things she needs. He is an unemployed construction worker, born to the trade as he was once the owner of a family owned company seems they don’t like his family values any more. He started noticing that business was slipping and he started charging less and less until one day he realized he was working for free and decided to hell with it.

She is the young student who just once would love to go to class and not have to pass the guys leering at her in the hall and the gestures they make are just simply disgusting and it would even be nicer if maybe one day out of the year she did not have to try and get past the girls standing in the door way talking in their language and totally ignoring everyone else, she has wondered why no one will make them move or at least demand they speak English, but decides it is best not to make an issue of it since some of the guys are their boyfriends. They are just every day ordinary American citizens who have simply had enough, enough of seeing everything written is Spanish or if not the promise of someone inside who speaks it. They are tired of seeing people loitering at the stores they go to and wondering if it is safe to go inside. They are the people who wash your car, they are doctors and nurses, moms and dads, they are the people who either by birth or by persistence managed to be heirs to the great promise land where everyone wants to go and others want to destroy, America. They are the ones who firmly believe that since they pay the taxes to make this nation run they should have a say in how it is run, The Americans.

They have been stepped on, picked over, used up, demoralized, and criticized by the very people their taxes go to pay. Sometimes their complaints get loud and boisterous, sometimes they make people mad, but they have never once worn a white sheet, burned a cross or for that matter taken the law into their own hands. They believe in the law of the land, they believe the constitution was written for them by people just like them and they believe in defending it till death. They follow the law and expect everyone else to and they expect the laws to be enforced, they are the Americans, now you see they aren’t so bad are they??

In the End,
we will remember
not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends.

Is that really what you want?

Carolyn Hileman — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:37:51 +0000

From the people who brought us the amnesty bill and poll after poll telling us we liked it they now bring us our next president; or at least that is what they hope. You see, John McCain won Florida and that my friends is supposed to convince us that this race is all over and John McCain is our nominee. But wait a minute. They forgot to mention a few things. Big surprise right? (more…)
