So now even our national anthem isn't good enough for the border invaders. Amnest advocates and illegal immigration supporters have re-written the Star Spangled Banner, not just translating it into Spanish but changing the lyrics as well.

Some of the "new and improved" lyrics?

"These kids have no parents, cause all of these mean laws ... let's not start a war with all these hard workers, they can't help where they were born."

Oh, great.

Why, why, WHY do illegal immigrants feel the need to change American's national anthem? After all, every other country, including Mexico, has its OWN national anthem already. Illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs, stealing our tax dollars, stealing our education and health services--do they really have to steal our anthem, too?

If they don't like the Mexican national anthem (and I admit, it's not exactly a catchy tune), can't they just get Ricky Martin or Los Lobos to write them a new one? Why screw with America's?

Try this flyer handed to one of my listeners yesterday.

It must be Jeff Jacoby! He gets the issues raised by the Lexington (MA) school system's disregard for its parents absolutely right:

When it comes to the education of children, there is always an agenda -- and those who don't share that agenda too often find themselves belittled, marginalized, or ignored. Perhaps it was true, as Thomas Reilly says, that the public schools his children attended "reinforced the values of our home." But as the Parkers and Wirthlins in Lexington can testify, other families have a very different experience. When Kerry Healey says she wants her children "to be in an environment where they can talk about values ..... in a way that you can't always do in a public school setting," many public-school parents will know exactly what she means.

...Iran now has missiles that can reach Europe, missiles that their soon-to-be developed nukes could be sitting on.

The good news? FRANCE is in Europe.

The natural truth of this story? The EU ignored American warnings for more than a decade that the murderous mullahs of Iran had a secret and illegal nuke program. The EU and the UN ignored us, while the Iranians laughed at them.

If Iran's insanity threatens Europe, the Euro-weenies have no one to blame but themselves.

The attempted intimidation of American citizens continues:

"There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official organizing the May 1st protests by illegal immigrants. "We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally)," Rodriguez said. "That is the message that is going to be played out across the country on May 1."

Like many of his fellow pro-amnesty activists, he is threatening law-abiding American citizens with a simple, straightfoward message: Pass the laws we want--or else.

Here in Massachusetts, local business owners have shared their accounts of being approached by illegal immigration activists and "urged" to shut down May 1st, whether these business owners want to or now. One business, owned by Ernesto (a naturalized American citizen from Cuba) declined the first invitation to close on May 1st and was approached the following day by a larger group of amnesty activists and "asked" again to shut down.

To his credit, Ernesto will be open for business on Monday. Not so for several business owners in Providence, RI and Cape Cod MA, who told me they want to remain open but have decided to close out of fear. Worse, legal immigrants who want to work are being pressured to stay home money, regardless of how they feel about amnesty for illegals. Many of these legal immigrants are low-wage employees who can't afford to miss a day of work.

Where is the "justice?" Where is the "fairness?" Where the hell are the COPS?

Isn't this extortion? If Tony Soprano were sending Chris and Vito (OK, maybe not Vito) to shake down businesses, wouldn't the FBI be involved?

Here's the problem: Criminals are criminals. If you're willing to break our immigration laws and our employment laws and our anti-fraud laws, why should I be surprised that you're willing to lean on business owners to get them to "come around?"

That's the message some businessowners are receiving from amnesty advocates as the May 1 "Great America Boycott" approaches.

Roger Pelletier, who owns Providence Automotive Engineering Co. on Broad Street, does not want to close, "but I'm afraid if I do stay open, are they gonna ruin the place -- vandalize it?"

Pelletier says he was approached last week by two people whom he says "were Dominicans with a poster and everything -- they just asked me if I was willing to close [the shop] to help them support that immigration thing, whatever that is that they're fighting."

He adds, "I do a lot of business with Hispanic people. They're fine to do business with. But I can't see losing a day of wages for this whole thing. What are they gonna gain from this? I can't understand."

Pelletier says, "I've been here 46 years. I pay taxes, I pay workers' comp, I have Blue Cross" for his employees. "Now who is gonna come in here and tell me what to do? I was here first."

Mr. Pelletier may have reason to worry. According to the same news article, Juan Garcia, head of the Immigrants in Action Committee said "he was disappointed that some businesses plan to remain open. While not Hispanic owned or operated, those businesses have a largely Hispanic customer base."

"That's their decision," says Garcia. "But we say to the people who don't close, right now is a time for business to support the [Hispanic] community," that has supported them "for years and years."

And just in case you missed his point: Garcia stresses, "We are not forcing anyone to close."

Yeah, right.

Many of you are familiar with my "relationship" with the Council of Angry Islamic Radica...er "Council on American-Islamic Relations," an organization founded by terror supporters that, for some bizarre reason, had enough clout with ABC/Disney to get me fired from a previous radio gig.

My first encounter with CAIR was a press release they sent out falsely claiming that I said on the air that all Muslims should be killed. Fortunately for me, my listeners knew this was sheer idiocy and, eventually, Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR was forced to admit--LIVE ON MY SHOW--that they were lying.

Now, CAIR has been caught again. As David Frum recounts, CAIR has had to withdraw a lawsuit they filed based on the claim that it is a lie to link CAIR to terrorism. CAIR has essentially acknowledged that this statement is true. CAIR has undeniable links to terror, not the least of which is the fact that four of its members are either in jail or on the lam for committing terror-related crimes.

Which once again raises the question: What the hell was ABC Radio thinking when it fired me over complaints from this gang of goons?

So says James Glassman at Tech Central Station:

We use oil -- and other unmentioned but implied addictions like coal and natural gas -- to generate energy that powers our cars, heats our homes, lights our cities, runs our factories. By the standard of what they do for us, fossil fuels are pretty cheap. They provide enormous industrial leverage."


It is fossil fuels that are helping to raise people out of poverty in India and China, fossil fuels that have helped the world economy to grow by 4.5 percent last year, its fastest rate in history. If forced to assign some kind of moral value to oil and gas, I would say they are good, not bad. But why moral language at all? The President -- and I am not even mentioning the claptrap one hears from Speaker Denny Hastert, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter -- is now using the lexicon of extreme environmentalists...
