Here is another knee-jerk piece of legislation: Congress eyes citizenship oath.

It talks about the softening the Oath of Allegiance given to people becoming full citizens, changing several sections.

Now, I don’t necessarily have a problem with the new wording, as the leak has presented them. What bothers me is they (the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)) are supposed to have a 60 day comment period, where they ignored this period for some reason, likely to stifle any opposition to the changes.

During his testimony, [Congressman] Mr. Ryun said USCIS acted hastily to change the wording, ignoring the standard 60-day period for public comment.

“The proposed changes intended to make the language more modern, but instead would transform an absolute commitment to the Constitution into a conditional statement and thereby weaken our citizenship,” said Mr. Ryun, noting the elimination of “the call to bear arms.”

It could be that the USCIS officials in question are holophobes. You never know.

Well, the GOP has finally declared that there is an elephant in the room. GOP Rails at Kerry’s ‘Unprecedented Criminal Enterprise’.

It has long been on talk radio and all over the blogosphere that the 527′s are 90% Liberal and doing their damnedest to unseat President Bush, bypassing the Campaign Finance Reform Law. The very law these people were screaming over to make fund-raising more ‘fair.’

“Simply put, the Kerry campaign and the Democratic Party have been unable to fund-raise to a level of hard dollars that they think is necessary for their campaign efforts,” the GOP complaint says.

“Instead, they have chosen to rely on an illegal conspiracy of donors and shadowy groups to defeat President Bush.”

It seems that the Democrats have been hoisted by their own petard on this one. They create a complex law to hinder raising shady money. Then, when the Republicans beat them at their own game, using these rules, the Dems have to cheat to even stay in the game. They have to funnel large amounts of money prohibited to the candidate into these 527 (section of the tax code) committees and organizations such as MoveOn.org and their ilk to keep the political ads rolling and trying to sway public opinion.

I hope either the Republicans form a few of their own 527′s to even the score, or plug this hole in the CFR law.

Another bomb has been found in Spain, on another train line. Bomb Found on Spanish Train Track.

The article dismisses al Qaeda as being responsible, but you never know. Anyhow, I thought surrendering and withdrawing troops from Iraq would stop the bombing?

I guess not. The more you give into bullies, the more you get picked on, not only by the original bully, but all of the others join in on you.

This Op-Ed piece from Newsmax, The Truth Is Not in Them, rips the left-wing media a new one, and rightfully so.

This is serious business. The very future of the nation is at risk thanks to the socialist elite who dominate the mainstream media. They have an agenda, one that begins with an all-out effort to defeat George W. Bush as a first step in putting the United States back into the hands of one of the most sinister and malignant political forces ever to seek power over the American people – what passes for the once honorable Democrat party now firmly in the hands of a corrupt socialist elite.

You can’t be any more serious than that. John Kerry and his Socialist policies will undo all of the good that President Bush has done, and cause more damage on top of that.

Despite his high poll numbers at the moment, you have to admit that Kerry is as boring as a sack of potatoes. He lacks the energy and charisma to energize his base enough to actually go out and vote. That and the fact that it appears that everything he has is against Bush, but has no plan of his own outside of, “I wouldn’t have done it that way!” There are a lot of things he’s against, but not so many things he’s for.

I think that the majority of voters will see that the one person who is doing the right thing is Bush. While Clinton opened his presidency with the phrase, “We are the most ethical administration the country has ever seen, ” (to be followed with so many “-gates” that it wasn’t funny). Bush has set the ethical standard for past and present administrations to be measured against.

Kerry doesn’t have a leg to stand on ethically. He is on the both sides of every issue and that alone will defeat him. The Bush political ads just have to have video of Kerry saying one thing, then contradicting himself. Play ads like that for the next few months and let’s see how well Kerry fares.
