[UPDATED]Opposition to Cross Border Truck program has nothing to do with safety or security concerns

Those who have followed the debate on the Mexican Cross Border Program, might have noticed as time passed, Todd Spencer and OOIDA for example kept changing their reasons for opposing FMCSA Cross Border Program. First it was “Safety issues”, then economic issues, both which have been debunked here and in other places. Jimmy Hoffa continues to rant about those “dangerous and unsafe” Mexican trucks putting the American motoring public at risk, without offering one iota of proof to back up his accusations. Even Steve Sommers on America’s Trucking Network has toned down the rhetoric, insisting his opposition to the program ….Read More

Former President Vicente Fox - Champion of Democratic Values

SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico – Eighteen months after leaving office, former President Vicente Fox is taking a page from Jimmy Carter’s playbook and engineering his legacy as a champion of democratic values and government transparency at home and abroad. In a wide-ranging interview at his ranch near historic Guanajuato, Fox discussed his new projects and chided the United States for abdicating its role as global leader, questioned presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s position on free trade and dismissed Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as “a loudmouth.” The United States no longer initiates ambitious projects such as the Marshall Plan that rebuilt ….Read More

More Americans Question Religion's Role in Politics

Some Social Conservative Disillusionment Some Americans are having a change of heart about mixing religion and politics. A new survey finds a A narrow majority of the public saying that churches and other houses of worship should keep out of political matters and not express their views on day-to-day social and political matters. For a decade, majorities of Americans had voiced support for religious institutions speaking out on such issues. The new national survey by the Pew Research Center reveals that most of the reconsideration of the desirability of religious involvement in politics has occurred among conservatives.

He ain't whistling Dixie no more! Senator Jesse Helms (R NC) dead at 86

How appropriate is it that on July 4, 2008 we are freed from the hateful thoughts and rhetoric of this vile excuse for a human being. Former Sen. Jesse Helms, who built a career along the fault lines of racial politics and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow Republican during 30 conservative years in Congress, died on the Fourth of July. He was 86. Helms died at 1:15 a.m., said the Jesse Helms Center at Wingate University in North Carolina. The center’s president, John Dodd, said in a statement that funeral arrangements were pending. This is the man that ….Read More

Lou Dobbs for Governor: Because Nothing Says “Welcome to the Garden State” Like “Show Me Your Papers Amigo!”

I saw this item on WorldNet Daily and thought it was some more of their silly rabble rousing alongside of such potential wet dream candidates for the right wing loons such as George Noory for President in 2012 perhaps with fellow loony tune Jeremy Corsi as his running mate. A New Jersey newspaper reported Dobb’s refusal to comment, but one site took the ball and ran with it, attempting to assist Mr Dobbs in his quest for public office. America’s Voice Online the voice of true Americans, established (does that word ring a bell with anyone) a website, titled DobbsforGovernor.com ….Read More

“It seems to me that the most radical and anti-immigrant candidates have been left behind and have been put in their place by their own electorate,” Calderon said.
