The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

You wanna build what where?

"So, in the ruins of a building reduced to rubble in the name of Islam, a temple of Islam will arise."
     -Mark Steyn-

First it was putting th 9/11 terrorist suspects on trial in a criminal court in NYC, now its erect a Mosque at Ground Zero.  What audacity!  How crass can you be?  It's sickening.  I can see it now, the liberal left will be kow-towing and pandering to the Islamists, showing how open and accepting we are of  all religions.  Whereas, the conservative right are up in arms, vocalizing how it's putting NYC right back in the bullseye.  And in a manner of speaking, it is. 


The recent episode in Times Square is proof that Radical Islam will not go away by itself and that it still wants a piece of NYC.  Islam should find another place to build their precious little "Healing Center."  It seems that local government and board members signed off on it, giving approval to erecting a "Healing Center" adjacent to the towers where the old Burlington Coat Factory once stood.  Several weeks passed without anyone noticing and now, families of victims and many others are speaking out.  That's because it really wasn't all that public.  The people that are bound and determined to build it, kept it quiet.  This mysterious group of investors have made it quite clear, too.  THEY WILL BUILD IT!  Where exactly are the funds coming from to finance this?  No one really knows for sure.    


There is one thing that is not well known, every Friday afternoon an Imam leads prayers right where Osama Bin Laden sent his treacherous followers to stab America in the heart, killing thousands of innocent people all in the name if his twisted religious beliefs.


We have become a sorry ass nation if we let this happen.  
Mayor Bloomberg needs to come out of his hole, put his foot down and say they are welcome in his city, [I doubt they'll be accepted with open arms in too many other cities] but they're just not welcome at ground zero.
Not that I am a religious person, but when people desecrate the hallowed grounds of a place of great suffering and death, that place should be given over as a place to everyone without insulting anyone.  It should be a place of great peace and contemplation.  


Mayor Bloomberg came to his senses on the trial of the 9/11 terrorists, does anyone think he'll look beyond his bunker and see the "real" world?

Arizona Immigration Law

There is no doubt that persons entering our country illegally is a divisive issue, at best.  The state of
Arizona just signed in to legislation a law that says police can detain people, "where practicable" and ask them for their papers.  ("Your papers please" sounds more like the dialog of a 50's era movie.) This puts law enforcement in an even more unfavorable light.  Are we not bordering on nazism and socialism when we randomly stop and ask people for their papers just by virtue of the color of their skin?  Where does one draw the line on this kind of reform?  It is inviting profiling, law suits, more political bickering and government rhetoric, not to mention the fact that it's not really solving the problem.  It is just adding to it.
It is an indisputable fact that something needs to be done and that we need to stop catering to liberals who cannot see the big picture.  Every day hundreds, maybe thousands, come across our borders illegally in the hopes of finding a better place.  Many women arrive pregnant or have 'anchor babies' here so that they won't be deported, since their children are automatically given citizenship by birthright.
Then they live off our tax dollars in welfare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. and most don't pay taxes.
It is a sorry state of affairs when English has become the second language and we are becoming foreigners in our own land.

What's even worse, there are not enough jobs now, more people are homeless than ever before and our economic situation is in a crisis of drastic proportions.  Arizona has the right idea and state's rights allows them to enact such legislation, but this law is too abstract in it's wording and it's literally unenforceable.  The Obama administration needs to get off it's ass and address this illegal immigration problem in the US.  It's not going to go away.

We need to stop pandering to these people and show them that if non-residents want to come to the land of opportunity, then they should do so like our forefathers did -- LEGALLY!
