America's Enemies, Within and Without

Islamic Terrorism

With the problems of not having a secure border, the Terrorists of Islam are now within our borders and are carrying out active operations. 

The Local Police Departments seem to be the only agencies which are protecting us from terrorist attacks and should recieve our respect and praise for the diligent performance of this task.

Mexico

The Drug Lords still reign supreme at the border.  Not only are they bringing prople and drugs across the border, but they are doing so with the help of the Mexican Military.

In an interview between Glenn Beck, a talk show host, and the Mayor of Lorado, the Sheriff, and the Congressman, it has been revealed 70 Americans have been kidnapped from the Lorado, TX area and are being held in Mexico.  The President and Congress refuses to do anything about this, but to critisize the Sheriff for having the desire to do his job.  Tributes to the Sheriff of Lorado for his efforts from the Webmaster.

China

From our food, to our toys, and many other products from China pose a substantial risk to Americans.  Many products are being recalled, but what about the products not recalled?  Can they really be safe?  What is the inspection and testing procedures?  How many Americans need to die before we percieve the threat?

FMCSA Going Ahead With Pilot Program Without OIG Certification

Even with the Congress passing, and the President signing, a law which prohibits the FMCSA from initiating the Mexican Carrier Pilot Project without certification from the Office of Inspector General, the Agency announces the initiation of the project in July.  They have published the paperwork to the Federal Register at dms.dot.gov.  They are appearing to allow Hazardous Materials Shipments to be hauled within the Union by the Mexican Carriers.

Mr. President, Mr. Bush, We Need You to Protect Us From Terrorists

 

Mr. Bush, would you please Protect the Citizens of the United States by Securing the Border from Illegal Immigration?  Please stop Honoring Illegal Aliens by Firing Johnny Sutton, Giving Pardon to Our Border Guards, and Posting the Army at the Border instead of Closing Our Military Bases.

Mr. President, we elected you in the belief that you were the best man for the job available.  Please don't make idiots out of us Americans by Honoring Illegal Aliens Above the American People.

Yes, when your term is over, it's done.  But you have your Nation to consider.  Who is the best man to come next?  Will it be a Democrat, or a Republican?  Perhaps the way you are treating us, maybe it will be an Independant Candidate. 

Please Honor Us by Securing Our Border With Mexico.

 

Why Shouldn't Truckers be Allowed to be Armed?

Shouldn't Truckers be armed?  With the ever-present danger of Terrorist Attack, the Truck Drivers could be an ideal Militia.  Under the orders of their company, these armed drivers could be a deterrant to theft of trucks and cargo, making the loads much less likely to be used in Terrorism.

Now, I am not endorsing changing the law to permit unqualified people from possessing a weapon.  I know there are some, few, truck drivers who would be unqualified, but there are many which will enlist into this United States Truck Driver Militia.

The answer is simple, extend the Pilot Carry Act to not only cover the Railroad Engineers, but the Truck Drivers too.  Also, we need to repeal the weapons prohibition in the Commercial Freight Regulations.  If a Truck Driver has a carry permit within their Home State, that permit should be attached to the Driver's CDL.  If they have a Haz-Mat endorsement, which means they passed the TSA Background Check, their Carry Permit should be Federalized.  This means their permit extends to States which have reciprocity aggreements with the other States.  This should take care of the Union with the exception of New York City to which an additional visitor's permit would be required.

Truck Drivers should not be Police Officers.  Their jurisdiction would be to protect themselves, the truck, and the cargo.  Once a threat is identified, they should be allowed to act.  This would greatly reduce the risk we all, as Truck Drivers, are subjected to on a daily basis.
