As I said on the show last night, here’s what needs to happen to make the current immigration reform even moderately acceptable to patriotic Americans:

• get rid of fed funds to so-called sanctuary cities
• get rid of birthright citizenship
• get rid of eligibility for any federal benefits for non-citizens
• get rid of all government forms, including ballots, in any language other than English

Since none of those ideas are in the current legislation, I say keep fighting! Last night SL Rich called to remind us that some pro-illegal immigration groups have set up 800 numbers to pump up support for this foolishness in Congress. Any one can use them, though, so let’s do it.

From Rich’s note:

There are TWO TOLL FREE .800 numbers supported by pro illegal groups that allow anyone to call directly to (your state’s two) U.S. Senators, better than going through the Hill switchboard. While the numbers are probably intended for pro illegal immigration groups, the FREE lines can also be used by pro AMERICAN callers to discuss any issue with the Senator’s office plus the illegals group pays for the call! Try it. Your listeners should be calling to protect our borders..

English: 800-417-7666
Spanish: 800-882-2005

Having illegals call to influence members of congress is dishonest, and corrupts our system–they are not citizens.

When I called your show earlier tonight, your call screener probably failed to realize I was telling him any U. S. citizen can use these numbers (on the illegals nickel) and help OUR CAUSE!

Thanks, Rich, not only for listening, but for this valuable information.

Still, I couldn’t let this Memorial Day pass without once again expressing my profound thanks to all members of the U.S military, past or present, for making it possible for us to enjoy living in freedom in this greatest country in the history of mankind. I am humbled by your courage, your commitment, your patriotism and your sacrifice, and I wish I could do more to let you know that as I enjoyed this solemn holiday, you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and thank you.

To celebrate Memorial Day, please check out this article about Operation Gratitude. They hope to send 50,000 packages to our brave men and women serving in Iraq this summer. If you’d like to help, you can donate, here.

There is a certain irony in the mainstream media blackout on Senator Barack Obama’s latest gaffe: mistaking the word “flack,” as in “to serve as a public relations agent,” something that they do on a regular basis for the senator, and “flak,” from the German Fliegerabwehrkanonen, a military term referring to anti-aircraft guns. In their zeal to conceal Barack Hussein’s complete lack of familiarity with anything remotely connected to things military, which during a time of war might cause voters a bit of concern, the media are once again flacking for He Who Walks on Water.

Perhaps, given silence about this story—cue the cricket sounds–you have no idea what I’m talking about, so here’s some background. On Friday, John McCain called Barack Obama’s vote against the war funding supplemental tantamount to waving “a white flag to al Qaeda,” prompting the junior senator/Mount Rushmore-designate-in-waiting’s campaign to issue the following written excerpt from the speech he gave in Chicago:

“This country is united in our support for our troops, but we also owe them a plan to relieve them of the burden of policing someone else’s civil war. Governor Romney and Senator McCain clearly believe the course we are on in Iraq is working, but I do not. If there ever was a reflection of that it’s the fact that Senator McCain required a flack jacket, ten armored Humvees, two Apache attack helicopters, and 100 soldiers with rifles by his side to stroll through a market in Baghdad just a few weeks ago.”

No doubt the Obama people were patting themselves on the back, imagining the nodding approval they were getting at Moveon.org house parties all across America, and thinking “we showed him.” There was only one problem, as the following response from McCain demonstrated:

“While Sen. Obama’s two years in the U.S. Senate certainly entitle him to vote against funding our troops, my service and experience combined with conversations with military leaders on the ground in Iraq lead me to believe that we must give this new strategy a chance to succeed because the consequences of failure would be catastrophic to our nation’s security.

“By the way, Senator Obama, it’s a ‘flak’ jacket, not a ‘flack’ jacket.”

Great smackdown. The only thing that would have made it better was reminding everyone of BHO’s promise not to play chicken with the troops and his embarrassing response to that debate question about two al Qaeda nuke attacks on U.S. cities, bandaids, Bactine and the First-Responder-in-Chief on the scene to direct the ambulances. Still, a very on target response by the former P.O.W.

So imagine my surprise when I read John McCormick’s report on the controversy in the dead tree version of the Chicago Tribune Saturday and read the quote from Obama’s speech:

“Senator McCain required a flak jacket, ten armored Humvees, two Apache attack helicopters, and 100 soldiers with rifles by his side to stroll through a market in Baghdad just a few weeks ago for a photo op”

This sort of helpful cleanup by our mainstream media friends is truly touching. Remember when the CBS producer, troubled that after enduring a 3-minute John Kerry stream-of-consciousness brain durmp, she still didn’t have a usuable soundbite, offered him the chance for a do-over? I can’t help but note that only liberal democrats seem to be the beneficiaries of this sort of assistance.

Can you imagine what would have happened if President Bush had made this mistake? How many times would we be favored stories along these lines: “Bush, whose National Guard experience, or lack thereof, has been the subject of frequent controversy, and who notoriously appeared on the deck of that “Mission Accomplished” aircraft carrier in a flight suit in what some characterize an unfortunate stunt, mistook the word “flak,” relating to anti-aircraft guns with “flack,” a term referring to public relations. Critics suggest that this error is indicative of Bush’s lack of military experience.”

This latest coverup is another reminder that Barack Hussein Obama is complete media creation, notwithstanding his gaudy resume (“community organizer” a.k.a. paid trouble maker, lecturer at University of Chicago, sometimes inflated to “professor” in his statements and press releases, Illinois legislator and 2 whole years in the U.S. Senate!). The flacks have done and continue to do their job to prop up this empty suit, hoping that the public will not realize how truly dangerous it would be during a time of war to have an indecisive, crypto-socialist chomping at the bit to surrender and go on defense, cluelessly leading us down the path to another 9/11.
