The Pakastani's are coming! The Pakastani's are coming!
From today's New York Times:
Mike Huckabee used the volatile situation in Pakistan Friday to make an argument for building a fence on the American border with Mexico and found himself trying to explain a series of remarks about Pakistanis and their nation.
On Thursday night he told reporters in Orlando, Fla.: “We ought to have an immediate, very clear monitoring of our borders and particularly to make sure if there’s any unusual activity of Pakistanis coming into the country.”
On Friday, in Pella, Iowa, he expanded on those remarks.
“When I say single them out I am making the observation that we have more Pakistani illegals coming across our border than all other nationalities except those immediately south of the border,” he told reporters in Pella. “And in light of what is happening in Pakistan it ought to give us pause as to why are so many illegals coming across these borders.”
In fact, far more illegal immigrants come from the Philippines, Korea, China and Vietnam, according to recent estimates from the Department of Homeland Security.
Asked how a border fence would help keep out Pakistani immigrants, Mr. Huckabee argued that airplane security was already strong, but that security at the southern United States border was dangerously weak.
“The fact is that the immigration issue is not so much about people coming to pick lettuce or make beds, it’s about someone coming with a shoulder-fired missile,” he said.
These are the words of a man that wants to be THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Be afraid, be very afraid

Catholic Women
Here's an interesting fact. Someone asked Factcheck.org if Catholic women are more likely to get an abortion than Protestant women. The answer "Catholics are slightly more likely to get an abortion than Protestants, according to a 2000-2001 survey".
My First Blog
Just a short opening for this rookie blogger. I'll throw out a quote from Poor Richard's Almanack circa 1743 which I believe to be prescient for our current spiritual void.
"How many observe Christ's birth-day! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments."
Benjamin Franklin
