Politicians Want Gun Buyers Checked, Not Illegal Aliens

(CNSNews.com) - Dozens of U.S. House members who sponsored the nationwide instant background check system for gun buyers in 1993 or backed the expansion of that system in 2002, have shown no support for a similar database intended to identify illegal aliens trying to find work in the U.S.

At least one member who supported the gun control measure is challenging the proposal to crack down on illegal immigrants.

"A database this large is likely to contain many errors," said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) during a May 12 hearing on the Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act (H.R. 98). "Any one of [the errors] could render someone unemployable and possibly much worse until they can get their file straightened out."

But in 2002, Jackson Lee argued for the "Our Lady of Peace Act," (H.R. 4757), an expansion of the National Instant Check System (NICS) for handgun purchases.

"I strongly support this legislation," Jackson Lee said during the Oct. 15, 2002 consideration of the Our Lady of Peace Act. "A major problem with the instant check system has been the incomplete records of state and local governments."

The legislation to expand NICS would have provided "incentives for states to provide more complete records to the federal government. This will result in faster and smarter background checks," she argued.
Of course they do, and no I do not think it is about tracking illegals. When the laws were first passed, in 1986, requiring that we Americans show proof to work, I nearly lost my job because I refused to do it. My GM was a retired Marine who knew my background and let me slide. Later, when I worked for a large corporation, I never turned the paperwork in either and they never came back to me about it the entire time I worked for them (a few years).

The article further states:
The most recent research available indicates that more than one-quarter of the immigrants living in the United States are doing so illegally. Of the 37.5 million foreign-born individuals currently living in the U.S., demographer Jeffrey Passell of the Pew Hispanic Center has determined that 10.3 million, or 29 percent, either entered or remain in the country illegally. Passell combined previous research he had conducted with the March 2004 "Current Population Study" conducted by the Census Bureau and data from other federal agencies to arrive at his conclusions.

At a May 12 hearing of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Claims, Chairman John Hostettler (R-Ind.) argued that border enforcement alone would fail to stop millions more non-citizens from illegally crossing U.S. borders.

"We will only be able to assert control over illegal immigration when we can turn off the job magnet that draws most illegal aliens to our country," he said.
So, nearly thirty (30) percent, or ten million, "entered or remain" here illegally. Of those ten million, just how many are those staying beyond their visa limits and I ask what about the database that has those people on file who were supposed to leave? Is there not already a method to check and see when, or if they leave? Visas do have an expiration date and the paperwork has to be logged in some electronic form, do they not?

The answer of course is to throw more money down a government pit that has already shown that it cannot even find those that stay beyond their visas, and create another database of illegals- but how? If they snuck across the border illegally do we honestly think that they do not have, cannot acquire, or even care that they have government papers?

From today's Washington Times Inside the Beltway column:
Military response

We'd written in our previous column about an offensive sign out in front of Casa Furniture in Alexandria, which we suspected might lure undocumented aliens to the store to buy a new sofa or mattress.

"Credito Sin Papele sde Gringos," the misspelled sign read.

Translation: "Credit Without Gringos' Papers."

Several hours after our item appeared, Air Force Capt. Peter Sheeran drove past the store and noted that the sign's message had been removed.

"But it's good they changed it," he says. "I was seriously contemplating going in there in full uniform and raising a stink with the manager, or whoever else was there."

All databases created by the ferals will always bite we citizens in the ass (just ask Ted Kennedy or anyone else on the NO-FLY list) as these tools are designed and intended to.

No my paranoid readers, just I as I did not support the Insta-Check bullshit, I do think anyone should be so quick as to embrace an "illegals database".

Oh, and the hypocrite and idiot, Shelia Jackson Lee displayed once again what a hypocrite and idiot she really is...

Male-targeted ads found to be in no man's land

Or, how pussies like Tom Bernardin think:
By Jeffrey Goldfarb
Fri Jun 24,12:53 PM ET

The Marlboro Man is having an identity crisis.

The Leo Burnett advertising agency, which created the iconic macho cowboy, said a new study it conducted found that half the men in most parts of the world don't know what is expected of them in society and three-quarters of them think images of men in advertising are out of touch with reality.

Most ads have lumped men into one of two groups -- the soft, caring type known as "metrosexuals," who are comfortable with facial peels and pink shirts, or the stereotypical "retrosexuals," who remain oafishly addicted to beer and sports.
Read the last part of that last paragraph once more:
"...who remain oafishly addicted to beer and sports."
Now, read what the pussy Tom Bernardin has to say:
"As the world is drifting toward a more feminine perspective, many of the social constructs men have taken for granted are undergoing significant shifts or being outright dismantled," said Tom Bernardin, chairman and chief executive of Leo Burnett Worldwide.
This morning, while working on a system, I made the time to call The Leo Burnett advertising agency. I first reached a woman telephone operator, to whom I explained the reason for my call, and she had a good laugh when I asked if Tom Bernardin's leg's joined at the top and forwarded me to consumer affairs, where the lady who answered burst out laughing when I asked the question again. She then sent me to public affairs where I was answered by a rather feminine voice mail, but the name was definitely male. I then left a message stating that if Tom Bernardin's legs did not join at the top, and he was in wanting a sex-change operation, to go right ahead, but to quit insulting the rest of the men in the world. Statement's made, just like the pussy Tom Bernardin's, just piss me off, and for too long men have let them slide. I say no more and stand up and speak your mind and tell them exactly what you think of them.

Oh, and one last bit of advice for Tom Bernardin, even if you do not get that sex change Tom, you go right ahead and get that Carmen Electra Butt Wax:
Speaking of marriage, what makes a great butt?

Genetics. A good ass should be nice and round and firm. I think waxing is dope. There's a place I go called Pink Cheeks and it has this thing called Playboy Wax. It's amazing. I walk in, take my underwear off and lay down on a table. I do a position from ballet where I raise my foot and put it on the inside of my knee. The woman waxes me - she's incredible. I turn around, I get on my hands and knees and she waxes my ass. There's nothing like getting waxed, I'm telling you. Waxing adds to sex 110 per cent. I get a better sensation when I'm having sex or doing anything. I think if a man had his woman do it for him, it could be fun. And I would love to wax my man. I think it could be very erotic. Some people like pain and would probably be really into that. I can actually have an orgasm from wearing tight jeans and driving a car. There's no hair, so I'm completely sensitive.
Just keep it under your skirt...

Observations II

The commenting feature has been fixed.

When I first tried to use the old code, it did not work, so then I tried the auto-installer, and that did not work. I then went and grabbed the new code, but did not follow the directions properly and of course that did not work. So I followed the directions provided in the forum and, of course, that did not work either.

I went back to the old code- and it worked...

IRS probing possible data security breaches

Jun 24, 4:36 PM (ET)
By Caroline Drees, Security Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Internal Revenue Service is investigating whether unauthorized people gained access to sensitive taxpayer and bank account information but has not yet exposed any privacy breaches, an official said on Friday.

The U.S. tax agency -- whose databases include suspicious activity reports from banks about possible terrorist or criminal transactions -- launched the probe after the Government Accountability Office said in April that the IRS "routinely permitted excessive access" to the computer files.

The GAO team was able to tap into the data without authorization, and gleaned information such as bank account holders' names, social security numbers, transaction values, and any suspected terrorist activity. It said the data was at serious risk of disclosure, modification or destruction.

"There is no evidence that anyone who was not authorized accessed the data outside the GAO," said Sheri James, a spokeswoman for the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which is working with the IRS to address the concerns of the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress.
Horseshit- plain and simple horseshit!

If there is one database that the govenrment runs that everyone should understand is tapped and abused frequently, it is our records with the IRS.

We now that it has be abused for political payback and I suspect to something as mundane as checking out some woman that was fancied.

Now, the real question that should be asked, is why now does this information, and the others that have been revealed over the past year, become public?

It takes a bit of time to get the sales results from advertising, and I must ask this, are you ready to buy the new ID that is coming?

Observations

For some reason that I cannot fathom (another in the last twenty-four hours), if you post a comment in the Observations, that comment is in every post Observation.

I have left a request in the forums at Haloscan for assistance and if you feel like saying something and watch it repeat itself over and over, go right ahead- or, you can wait until this is fixed...

Supreme Court Rules Cities May Seize Homes

I want to point rat-faced Justices Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kennedy, and John Paul Stevens (who is unworthy of his Christian Name) to the true founding document of this nation- The Declaration of Independence and in particular the following clauses:
  • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
  • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
And, the Fifth Amendment:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Now that you have read this, please print out copies for yourselves and read them over and over again- WAIT! What am I thinking!

You already have copies and wiped your traitorous asses with them today with this decision:
WASHINGTON (AP) - A divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses against their will for private development in a decision anxiously awaited in communities where economic growth often is at war with individual property rights.
I wish to remind the readers that our form of government was founded on four boxes...

Found while searching for something else.

From the top of the page (The link is now Google's Cache as the original link has been modified to say you are looking at gay porno- if you have Java tunrned on):
"Hey, my name is Matt Blanc, I work in a computer store, and I have seen some heatshrink-wrapped packages in the notebooks we repair... But it's not in all of them, it only seems like they are in the newest models from Dell, HP, and Gateway. I don't know about other brands, as I have either never seen heatshrink-wrapped packages in them, or I haven't worked on one of that brand."
And the device mentioned:
"About a month ago, I opened up my (then) almost brand new Dell 600m laptop, to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard. As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed a small cable running from the keyboard connection underneath a piece of metal protecting the motherboard. I didn't really think too much of it and I'm not intimately familiar with laptop hardware configurations and so I assumed that it served some purpose and that it was best not to mess with it. I continued to disassemble the laptop, and after popping off the metal panels protecting the motherboard, I noticed that the mystery wire had a large bulge covered in heat-shrink tubing. I continued with the task at hand."
Oh, and do not believe everything you read, particularly when it is from someone named Matt Blanc and the website is hosted by GNAUK- have fun...
