Today we remember the sacrifices of those who helped make the USA a great nation. My thanks goes to all who have served and especially died for this great nation.

If all the other details were not enough to produce reasonable doubt, then the words of the accuser herself should be more than enough. I’ve already decided she’s lying given all the findings by the defense, so nothing shocks me at this point.

The accuser explicitly told the first police officer on the scene that she was not raped. Also there was more than one photo line-up. In a previous photo line-up she did not pick David Evans, the person she picked in a later line-up, but claimed he had a mustache, when he never did.

Sgt. J.C. Shelton was the first cop on the scene at the house and the Kroger. Here are some interesting details from his notes.

…
— The owner of the car told Shelton that she had been driving down Buchanan Boulevard and saw the other woman — now in her passenger seat — walking along the street and that a group of white men at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. were yelling racial slurs at her, so she offered her a ride to safety. (In fact, though, the car owner was Roberts, the second dancer.)

– The woman in the passenger seat was “wearing a see-through red outfit, with no undergarments and one white high-heel shoe.” She appeared unconscious, so Shelton got an ammonia capsule from his car. In response to the capsule, the woman began “mouth breathing, which is a sign that she was not really unconscious,” Shelton wrote.

– Shelton said he tried to pull the woman from the car, but that she grabbed the emergency brake handle to keep from being pulled out. He finally got her out and she collapsed on the ground.

– Because the woman wouldn’t tell officers her name or where she lived, they decided to take her to the Durham Access Center, a mental health and substance abuse facility. There, the woman said she had been raped at 610 N. Buchanan. So Shelton directed that she be transferred to Duke University Hospital’s emergency room.

– At Duke, the accuser told Shelton she was a stripper and had been hired to dance at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. After their show, she said, she and the other dancer got in a car to leave, but that some of the men wanted them to go back inside. “She said at the point some of the guys from the party pulled her from the vehicle and groped her. She told me that no one forced her to have sex,” Shelton wrote.

– Shelton went outside to call his watch commander to tell him the woman had recanted her rape allegation. But then someone told him the woman told a doctor that she had been raped. Shelton called the watch commander back to tell him “she had changed her story back to being raped.”

– Shelton went back inside and asked the woman “if she had or had not been raped. She told me she did not want to talk to me anymore and then started crying and saying something about them dragging her into the bathroom.”
…

Seems someone raped would not want to avoid telling their story to a police officer. And we know she’s done the passed out thing in the past.

Other details DA Mike Nifong may not have turned over to the defense.

…
The defense motion filed Friday says that, “incredibly,” the information provided by Nifong contains no record about the woman’s time at Durham Access Center. Nor does it contain reports by two other police officers who were involved in the situation that night, the motion complains.

In addition, Nifong provided documentation pertaining to only five of 17 sections of a Sexual Assault Exam Report, the motion adds, indicating that the exam was performed by an in-training forensic nurse.
…

Hmmm….

Given the Mexican government has been touting the sell-out of our National Security, it looks like the illegals are rushing the border with docs that claim they have been in the USA for 5 years or more.

Freedom Folks has the scoop!

And if the Senate bill said 10 years they would have docs showing 10 years or more. We knew this would happen. I’m sure the terrorists will have fake docs too!

Well we were warned it was going to pass the Senate and it did. The so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 – S. 2611 passed by a vote of 62-36. Two Senators (Rockefeller [D-WV] and Salazar [D-CO]) did not vote, so all that applies to those who voted in favor of this applies to them. They tried to keep their hands out of it, but I’m treating all who did not vote “NO” the same!

As I mentioned earlier, all who voted in favor are now on the slate to be voted out of office.

and Must be Voted Out of Office

Now that we’ve gotten the bums out of the way, there are 36 Senators that have earned themselves some respect from the people for doing the right thing.

Senators That Did the Right Thing When We Needed Them Most
They Have Earned Extra Respect

Alexander (R-TN), Allard (R-CO), Allen (R-VA), Bond (R-MO), Bunning (R-KY), Burns (R-MT), Burr (R-NC), Byrd (D-WV), Chambliss (R-GA), Coburn (R-OK), Cochran (R-MS), Cornyn (R-TX), Crapo (R-ID), DeMint (R-SC), Dole (R-NC), Dorgan (D-ND), Ensign (R-NV), Enzi (R-WY), Grassley (R-IA), Hatch (R-UT), Hutchison (R-TX), Inhofe (R-OK), Isakson (R-GA), Kyl (R-AZ), Lott (R-MS), Nelson (D-NE), Roberts (R-KS), Santorum (R-PA), Sessions (R-AL), Shelby (R-AL), Stabenow (D-MI), Sununu (R-NH), Talent (R-MO), Thomas (R-WY), Thune (R-SD), Vitter (R-LA)

But given Lott has endorsed McCain for President, we can’t trust him. So it would be best if he went the way of the other 64. That means we have at least 65 weak and pandering Senators that need to go, in order for us to even begin to think we can properly secure this nation. And we know Robert “KKK” Byrd is not the kind of Senator that should be kept around. Although he’s shown that he’s only half crazy and was sane on this vote, he’s got to go, but not for this critical matter of national security. Byrd should go just because he’s the poster Senator of why term limits are necessary. He’s got enough history of running with the Left and running with the racists, that he needs to be sent packing.

If this legislation is not put to a halt in the House of Representatives, the results will be terrible.

Here’s what some other sane bloggers are saying:

• Michelle Malkin: Amnesty Passes
• Kit at Euphoric Reality: Crime Wins: Amnesty Bill Passes the Senate
• Hot Air notes how this bill passed when Vicente Fox was touring the nation.
• Jake at Freedom Folks offers suggestions of what you can do to address this issue.

Earlier today Sean Hannity held what I call a border debate 2-man tag team match. In the corner of border defenders were (my pick for President) Senator Rick Santorum and Congressman J.D. Hayworth. In the corner of all who care about anything but national security were (he’ll never be President now) Senator Lindsey Graham and Congressman Jim Kolbe. Because of the time this radio debate took place, it probably was the last public debate by people in Congress before the bill passed the Senate.

You can hear the debate using the audio links below.

Last night right here in Gwinnett County, Georgia there was the start of what will be a series of Fair Tax rallies across the nation. An effort to promote HR 25 aka The Fair Tax. Speakers at the rally were co-author of The Fair Tax Book Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Herman Cain, Clark Howard, John Stossel (as a reporter he cannot “officially” endorse a tax proposal, but he was there and spoke), Ken Hoagland – Spokesman for Americans for Fair Taxation, Congressman John Linder, Royal Marshall and Belinda Skelton. Music was provided by Banks & Shane.

Initially I was planning to attend, but when I realized I would never be able to get there early enough to beat the crowd, I had to pass on going. Fortunately WSB-AM aired the rally live. (Boortz was able to convince the station to air it at the last minute. There was no promotion of it being aired until just before the rally, so it probably was a last minute agreement to air it.) I was able to start capturing the audio just after some kids were giving some quotes about taxation and Boortz was taking the stage. So you can say the audio link below has it all minus the kids .

Whether you are for the Fair Tax or wondering about it, you want to check out this audio. Because not only was HR 25 promoted, but many of the questions asked about how it would affect taxation were answered.

Listen to the entire rally (minus the kids) using the audio link below.
