Great! Two rogue unions to be busted: "Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn. Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman's Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation?s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new 'SENTRI' system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City. As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year".

Illegal immigrant sweep nabs criminals: "San Diego County led the nation in arrests during a recent series of sweeps of illegal immigrants designed to pick up criminals, fugitives and gang members. But most of those arrested weren't original targets of the operation. During the two-week effort - dubbed "Operation Return to Sender" - agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local police arrested 2,179 people in more than 30 states. Of those, 402 were arrested in San Diego County, including 164 with criminal backgrounds, officials said."

Crooked black congressman whines: "The following is a statement made by Congressman William Jefferson responding to the House Democratic vote to suspend him from the House Ways and Means committee: "Tonight, a motion to suspend me, temporarily, from my position on the House Ways and Means Committee passed in the Democratic Caucus. I stand firm in my position that this move is unprecedented, unfair in process and most importantly, it unjustly punishes my constituents."

Feds were accomplices to Enron crooks: "Federal prosecutors have successfully prosecuted Enron CEOs Jeff Skilling and Kenneth Lay for what the grand jury's indictment described as 'a wide-ranging scheme to deceive the investing public . about the true performance of Enron's businesses.' While Skilling, Lay, Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow, and other Enron 'conspirators' have also been found guilty of fraud charges, one key accomplice has gotten a pass: federal and state government."

Hang on to your printed books: "It is safe to surmise that, once most books -- particularly the out of print and difficult to find ones -- have been digitized, most libraries, under the pressure of lack of space and low personnel budgets, will end up by getting rid of most printed books of which digitized versions are available. As I mentioned before, Google's goal is to eventually digitize all books. Given Google's passion for censorship, and ALA's irregular application of its policies (ALA is only against censors they don't like), book censorship may become a common thing."

Brazilians rejecting "liberation" Catholicism: "About 3 million evangelical Protestants staged a huge rally Thursday in the heart of Brazil's biggest city, demonstrating their growing influence in the world's largest Roman Catholic country. Crowding next to sound trucks blasting religious music, marchers wore T-shirts in the green and yellow colors of Brazil's flag advertising their annual "March for Jesus." The hymn-singing evangelicals walked to skyscraper-lined Agenda Palest, Brazil's version of Wall Street"

"All the worth which the human being possesses, all spiritual reality, he possesses only through the State." -- 19th century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel is the most influential philosopher of the Left -- inspiring Karl Marx, the American "Progressives" of the early 20th century and university socialists to this day.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch)
