Immigration Amnesty Law - Green Card
The very last time there was a law that several regarded as amnesty was initially in 2000.

Portugal's Prime Minister Jose Socrates, left, gestures beside Finance Minister Fernando Teixeira dos Santos throughout a parliament session in Lisbon on Wednesday.

When A Shellacking Isn t Enough
Yesterday I blogged about the rumored Obama budget that did nothing more than freeze the current budget for 5 years. At a time when the bloat in the federal budget has destroyed our position in the "global" economy, Obama doesn"t seem to have heard the message from the election that a serious reduction in federal spending, not a freeze, was the only way to get control of our budget.

Mr. Obama"s supposedly pared down budget calls for $3.73 trillion in spending, a $1.1 trillion deficit next year, $1 trillion in supposed spending cuts and tax increases, including a 5 year freeze on non-security discretionary spending.

Have Women Contributed to The Formation Of Modern Civilization?
Almost ending all discussions, Freud thundered, "Women can"t contribute to civilization". With there being very little input from the fairer sex in history compared to men, Freud almost got scot free with his statement. However, with women going through suppression, due to, what the feminists call patriarchy, while it was natural for him to say so, as a reaction, it was not unnatural for feminists to accuse him of being a male chauvinist either.
