Luis Calderon Deserves a Purple heart

LUIS CALDERON

Specialist Luis Calderon, 22, from the 4th Infantry Division, was wounded in May 2003 in Tikrit. He was in the process of tearing down a cement wall bearing a painted image of Saddam Hussein when a second wall above him collapsed. His neck was broken and he has been paralyzed from the neck down since then.

His entire family moved from Puerto Rico to Florida in order to care for him. He has not been awarded a Purple Heart -- given to soldiers who are killed or wounded while fighting -- because he was not injured in battle.

"From my neckline down, I cannot feel anything," he says. "I didn't get a Purple Heart. I feel like I deserve one. It would make me more confident that I really did something."

I am astonished that this Hero, Mr Calderon was there in Iraq and was there on a military work detail. He gets permanently wounded and because he did not get it in a firefight he is denied a purple heart. He should not only receive a purple heart but a medal for putting his life on the line even if it was on a work detail. Iraq is no country club.

Speeditup, will kill your Windows XP Professional

Speeditup, a free program is so fast you cannot stop it quick enough for salvation.

Speeditup is great for killing your Windows XP Professional, that came with my Dell lattitude. DELL, DID NOT FURNISH A CD RESTORER FOR A CORRUPT FILE SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK.

I could not use Window's restore, nor repair, nor use ANY REGISTRY REPAIR programs to restore the Windows XP Pro operating system. The best price for a new Windows XP Professional is $149.00.

Do not go near this program unless you can afford a new operating system.

Mike Medved, Why Not Bomb Mecca?

I cut right to the chase, you keep killing ENOUGH MUSLIMS until they stop COMING. When enough of them are dead they will stop. Ladies and gentlemen they will stop. Its human nature. Ask Hirohito.

Be killed or reform to a tolerable CULT is the message we need to send muslims. Islam is not a religion. Medved says that ISLAM IS A RESPECTED RELIGION, however I beg to differ. ITS NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT ISLAM IS A RESPECTED RELIGION...ITS NOT. WHAT Mike Medved has to SAY ON THE RADIO IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING IN THE STREETS, Most people that HAVE THE ABILITY TO discern, agree with Tom Tancredo.

MIKE MEDVED IS A CHAMBERLAIN APPEASER. HE CALLS ANY WHO AGREES WITH TANCREDO A NUT. ACTUALLY THE NUT IS MICHAEL MEDVED.

THESE ANIMALS THEY DANCED IN THE STREET DURING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER DISASTER DOES NOT CONVINCE Mike Medved. The Koran tells them to Kill us, but Mike Medved says if we take out holy sites we will get them REALLY mad at us. Mike Medved forgets, all the holy sites the muslims have taken from us, and that includes Jerusalem.

The muslims train there young to kill from birth to death. Muslims kill kill kill and kill people. They Hate Jews Christians, Hindus Muslims and the list is endless. So Mr Medved, we should tolerate muslims carving out parts of countries for themselves. That's the style in every country.

I know a girl in the Philippines from a middle class family in Mindanao. She was "well to do" growing up, until her father refused to convert and was beheaded for being a Catholic. In the Philippines a good job is hard to come by so her family of six became poverty stricken because there are not to many men willing to marry a woman with 5 children. The authorities knew who did the beheading but had no proof, so they said to the family. However, Arroyo since signed an agreement that allows the muslims autonomy in the south. Soon they will want to secede and declare an Islamic state. Oh lets not forget July 15, 2007 when 15 Philippines marines were killed in a shootout with the muslims, and ten marines were beheaded. Arroyo did nothing, she LIKE MICHAEL MEDVED does not want to get the muslims mad. If Arroyo had sent in the entire military might into Mindanao and reduced the muslim from 4.5 million to 2 million maybe the beheading would stop.

WE HAVE LOST OVER 10,000 AMERICANS AT THE HANDS OF THESE BASTARDS. I HAVE NO REMORSE NOR DO I CARE ABOUT A CULT THAT REVERES FANTASIES OF A PEDOPHILE SAILING IN THE CLOUDS ON A GOLDEN CHARIOT. The absurdities of 72 virgins, mansions, muslim paradise and prophets that there is no possible way could be connected to God almighty is impossible to accept and worse to try to comprehend. We should not continue to perpetuate the ridiculous assertions on the part of muslims who are co dependent and we, are the enablers in society.

Michael Medved, I disagree with you because Islam suffers from delusions of grandeur, hearing voices, and anti social behaviour, and this my man is the hallmarks of a mentally ill society. Training children the next generations of idiots is a continuum of this cults absurdity and the analysis by people like Michael Medved's proclamation that Islam is a RESPECTED WORLD RELIGION.

In closing, Yes Michael maybe start with the holy sites. They get mad so be it, they still don't understand. We have to kill a few thousands, maybe a million, maybe 5 million or if it takes killing a billion...whatever it takes maybe its genocide, but IT WILL eventually drive the point home. I am fed up with muslims and there f-----g anger. Michael Medved, kill enough of them until they stop coming, no matter what it takes.

I loved his last caller on August 8th first hour who made Michael Medved stutter and sputter he was rendered speechless for a moment. If Michael Medved says its genocide well I see it different. I say its survival of the fittest.

AFTER THE SECOND BOMB THE JAPANESE MILITARIST PLEDGED TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT TO THE DEATH. Hirohito exclaimed, NO! that we have to end the conflict NOW... because the Japanese culture WOULD CEASE TO EXIST AS WE KNOW IT.

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, boasted 81 percent in a poll up north, floundering...no way Michael Medved. Tancredo always says no option is off the table. Michael Medved says "Tancredo has returned to his unhinged and wildly irresponsible discussion of punitive bombing of Muslim holy sites in Saudi Arabia." Mike is wrong.

I am for Tancredo in 2008. Read his book, IN MORTAL DANGER, the least thing that Tom Tancredo has is any of Michael Medved's analogy of this candidate's maturity.

Did you hear the applause on Tom Tancredo! it was better then warm. Mike Medved should have heard it in my house. I bet that it was the same applause in everybody else' house on this God's green earth.

We need to focus on the Bridges to Somewhere

Congress! forget the bridge to nowhere

Can you imagine what we take for granted, a drive on an interstate at 70 miles an hour and the road disappears in front of you.
The Bridge in Minneapolis, was loaded with rush hour stop and go traffic when the span dropped into the Mississippi River. The idea of twists of steel and cement falling on top of your car as you plunge into the water is a horror to me. How can we allow this to happen.
We cannot affect repairs on our thousands of infra structure, nationwide, because of wasted government spending. Its because of our absurd entitlement programs to so called needy. Lets not close our eyes to handouts to 30,000,000 illegal aliens.
The catastrophe in Minneapolis, is on the eve of the House of Representatives who passed a bill to subsidize the children of the poor and needy families.
$82,000 to $100,000 DOLLARS HAS JUST BEEN DECLARED THE POVERTY BRIDGE BY THE HOUSE. Give me a break. How did the American people elect these idiots is beyond me. I am sure Bush will veto this.
Nonetheless we need to repair our bridges, tunnels, highways, and elevated structures yesterday. Forget subsidized health care, and fix our thoroughfare.

The Cinders Smoulder on Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

You cannot imagine how I feel when I hear how the people we elect, conspire, con, and try to sneak there own agenda when its obvious that the American People have spoken on immigration.

I have just read some news that John Kyl of Arizona, this is the same man who wanted to return to the immigration debate immediately AFTER the second defeat in the Senate. The jerk is now crafting together an "Enforcement First" provision to attach to the new Homeland Security Bill on the Senate's Calendar for this week. On the outset, it sounds good, like immigration reform, more money for the fence we can't see, more money for border guards because we keep locking the ones we do have in the nearest prison, and better technology for law enforcement.

BUT, attached to this provision is a hidden caveat, all illegal immigrants who are working in this country in agriculture would get a pass like the infamous Z visa of Mel Martinez bill. It appears that a provision like this one can get added at the last minute prior to voting on it. I don't know about you but I am sick of making compromises to make these interests happy. How difficult will it be for illegals in construction or another field to say they are working in agriculture so that they can get this 'pass'.

The facts are: Kyl IS writing a provision. The provision is to be added to the Homeland Security Bill, Kyl supported Mel's Amnesty Bill, Kyl pushed back immediately after the second defeat to try to get the Amnesty bill back up in some way, Kyl IS for Amnesty! Whether this would mean amnesty for 12 million or (more like 30 million illegals I believe) just the part of the 12 million (more like 30 million illegals I believe) who are in agriculture is not clear yet.

The bill is due to be discussed this week and we don't have any way to see this provision until they make it public. Let's make sure that this part of the Homeland Security Bill doesn't see the light of day. Voter be aware so we can deluge our elected gangsters with our opinions.

Yo no soy Marinero, Osama La Bamba

Sen. Barack Obama, Osama La Bamba, called opponents of the Senate immigration bill “racists”. Osama La Bamba called all 9 out of 10, voting Americans, rascists because we object to whole sale amnesty for illegal aliens breaking our laws. Osama La bamba peddles universal health, to the emotional cripples in our society, like Bush peddles "jobs American won't do" to the discerning voters in our mist. Osama La Bamba, says care should include abortion in his last week of campaigning for the Democratic nomination for President.
Osama La Bamba, made these controversial remarks at a trio of campaign stops for the National Council of La Raza, the most racist, communistic, and subversive organization of gangsters... west of the pacific ocean. Osama La Bamba, was busy wooing the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees and Planned Parenthood. Sunday, Obama addressed the Hispanic special interest group National Council of La Raza at the Miami Beach Convention Center. There, he said that the debate over the Senate’s failed immigration bill “was both ugly and racist in a way that we haven’t seen since the struggle for civil rights.”
He told participants that both Hispanics and African Americans have struggled to get access to health care and education and quoted a telegram Martin Luther King Jr. sent to Cesar Chavez in 1968: “Our separate struggles are really one. The civil rights movement was not just for African Americans.” Good gosh!
Osama La Bamba, the facsimile of the DC Comics superman, says, It doesn't matter if that struggle involves a brown man who is badgered again and again to prove his citizenship or a black man who's pulled over because his car is too nice,” Osama La Bamba, explained to the feeble minded. “I stood on the picket line and I stood on the picket line and marched with workers at the Congress Hotel in Chicago last week. I had marched with them four years earlier and I told them when I left that if they were still fighting four years from now, I'd be back on that picket line as President of the United States,” Osama La Bamba, told labor activists.
Osama La Bamba, also said that Washington “has thrown open its doors to the most anti-union, anti-worker forces we've seen in generations.” What a load of feces this guy slings.
The abortion lobby welcomed Obama at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s political organizing conference on July 17. At the Washington, D.C. event, Obama said he believed expanded insurance coverage under his proposed universal health care plan should cover “reproductive services.” Osama La Bamba, campaign staff later confirmed those reproductive services should include abortion In his speech, Obama took care to lay out his vision for the Supreme Court and touched on other issues he thought were important to women.
Osama La Bamba, is a proponent pf Sex Ed in Kindergarten . Osama La Bamba, thinks we should should take out from the day of innocents to have Sex Ed for Tots who are busy finger painting, stacking blocks and learning there colors. "Justice Kennedy knows many things," Obama said of the Justice who penned the Supreme Court opinion that upheld the ban, "but my understanding is that he does not know how to be a doctor."
We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges,” Obama explained.
Of his Senate votes against the confirmation of Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, Obama said, “There is nothing wrong in voting against nominees who don't share a broader vision of what the Constitution is about.” Osama La Bamba, means his interpretation of what the constitution is about.
Obama also said it was time for the government to offer “an updated social contract” that would give women paid maternity leave and keep children in school longer, to accommodate working mothers’ schedules.
A figment of imagination, Osama La Bamba, a creation of FOXNEWS, will never win the presidency, thank God. We all get to keep more of our paychecks.

President Bush loves Mexico more then our Border Guards

Dianne Feinstein has decided to ask President Bush to commute the sentences of former U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, an aide for the California Democrat told WND.
Feinstein will have a letter delivered to the White House tomorrow, said spokesman Scott Gerber.
Following the Senate judiciary committee's examination of the controversial prosecution, according to Gerber, the senator said "it became very clear the sentences did not match the crime."
Ramos and Compean are serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, after a jury convicted them of violating federal gun laws and covering up the shooting of a drug smuggler as he fled back to Mexico after driving across the border with 742 pounds of marijuana. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's office gave the smuggler, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, immunity to serve as the government's star witness and testify against the border agents.
In my own personal life, I was told that a witness had to be impeccable for credibility, say my lawyers. A tarnished testimony is endangered with impeachment. I also know this to be true. How and why did this case ever proceed on the testimony of the criminal. Since when has this become trendy. Liberalism is a mental disorder that has now put our border agents Ramos and Compean in harms way. First at the Border and then in jail.
Feinstein concluded the hearing today with a vow to look further into why prosecutors charged the men under section 924(c) of the U.S. code, which requires a 10-year sentence for using or carrying a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. The border agents were not committing a crime.
Feinstein, during questioning of Sutton, argued the statute did not apply to Ramos and Compean in their pursuit of a drug smuggler at the Mexican border, because there was no underlying crime. Gerber told WND that Feinstein has concluded the use of 924(c) was "prosecutorial overreach." Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. He would prefer a pardon, but said he is pleased Feinstein is taking action and finds it ironic a "liberal Democrat" would do more than some "squishy Republican senators."
"I was gratified and just overwhelmed with admiration for Sen. Feinstein, that she definitely is taking this issue seriously and decided she is going to step up and fight for these little guys that are being squashed," Rohrabacher told WND. Rohrabacher asserted the hearing today "made clear this case is, on the face of it, rotten." The stink is from Mexico.
Rohrabacher told WND Sutton has refused to testify at the July 31 hearing of the Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The congressman will examine alleged involvement of the Mexican government in the decision to prosecute the agents and others, including Texas Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez. Sutton's Western District of Texas office also prosecuted Hernandez, who was convicted of violating the civil rights of two illegal aliens injured from shell fragments that struck them as the officer shot at the tires of a van in which they escaped from a routine traffic stop. The van driver had tried to run over Hernandez. Here to since when is it ok to try and run over our border guards and that you don't shoot the tires to stop the vehicle from coming back to try it again?
Rohrabacher said Sutton also has refused to provide information concerning a special visa, or transit pass, given to Aldrete-Davila in the immunity deal, allowing him to travel back and forth across the border. The congressman wants to know if the pass was used in an alleged second attempt by Aldrete-Davila to smuggle marijuana into the U.S. I bet there were more trips across the border, eight months after the February 2005 incident at the center of the case.
We need to invoke the freedom of information act and use it on Sutton. Why is Sutton refusing to discuss visas? You can't imagine the hurdle to get a visa for legal people, nevermind for a drugdealer. Who was behind this?
When confronted today with the fact information about the alleged second smuggling attempt was kept from the jury, Sutton argued the judge made the decision. Liar! he asked the liberal judge and he granted the exclusion. These two knew that the jury would have returned a not guilty verdict had that been disclosed.
But Rohrabacher points out the prosecution initiated that demand. If the jury had known about the second attempt – an apparent violation of the immunity agreement – the panel likely would not have convicted the agents, the congressman believes.
The hearing has given Ramos and Compean new life, Rohrabacher said. "But nothing will happen until the American people rise up in a righteous rage to save these guys."
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a candidate for president, said in testimony today pardoning Ramos and Compean is the only way "to correct this terrible injustice."
"The men and women of the Border Patrol are certainly not above the laws they are empowered to enforce," Hunter said. "But they must also know that when they must apply the necessary and appropriate level of force, their government will not work aggressively to ensure they are punished while lawlessness is rewarded."
In mid-January, White House spokesman Tony Snow said people lobbying for a presidential pardon or any other intervention on behalf of the agents should review the evidence.
"This is not the case of the United States saying, we are not going to support people who go after drug dealers. Of course we are. We think it's incumbent to go after drug dealers, and we also think that it's vitally important to make sure that we provide border security so our people are secure," Snow said. "We also believe that the people who are working to secure that border themselves obey the law. And in a court of law, these two agents were convicted on 11 of 12 counts by a jury of their peers after a lengthy trial at which they did have the opportunity to make their case."
Later that month, amid growing criticism from congressmen and activists, WND learned the White House was opening up a line of communication with lawmakers and promised it would review a transcript of the trial.
Also at that time, Snow told WND the White House was trying to get the trial transcript, "so everybody can see what happened in trial, and we can try to discern the real facts of the case."
Yesterday, at the daily press briefing, Snow said he could not discuss any details related to a potential pardon or commutation.
Heated debate
In his prepared testimony today, Sutton acknowledged the case has been "the subject of widespread media attention and heated debate."
U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton
He insisted that since the convictions, "it has been clear that some individuals do not understand the facts of the case, while others are merely concerned with using it to make a point about some other issue, such as illegal immigration."
Sutton said he wanted to use the hearing to "set the record straight by discussing the ample facts already in the public record, but I will be limited to discussing only information in the public record."
After recounting the prosecution's view of the case, he concluded: "The prosecution of Compean and Ramos was about our commitment to the rule of law and about two former law enforcement officers who committed serious crimes. An honest reading of the facts of this case shows that Compean and Ramos deliberately shot at an unarmed man in the back without justification, destroyed evidence to cover it up, and lied about it. A jury heard the facts and voted to convict. Faithfulness to the rule of law required me to bring this case."
I close with this, the drug dealer had a gun that's why he was shot at. The gun could not be found but his relatives on a Spanish language radio show, said the drug dealer owned 3 guns that they knew of. Another Mexican gets over on the gringo.
