The Manis Doctrine

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

The Manis Doctrine will address all things of interest and importance to the community, but, the loan sharks, PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS, temporary employment agencies,slum lords,Billy Bob wrecker companies and all those who would use their fellow citizens as a condom will remain permanent topics.

At the height of the American Revolution Edmund Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Your wish is my command. We honor everyones right to privacy and to their opinion. I publish all email from everyone including...the left,the right,the middle of the road. The good,the bad and the ugly. The pertinent,the irreverent and the irrelevant. All known ethnic backgrounds, all genders and all chosen life styles. All religious faiths, Outcasts and those who are ,or have been, reformed. The list is endless but you get the idea. Thanks for your interest and involvement. Its more than most can say. at least you have a pulse.

Theodore Roosevelt wrote: "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here."

Alexander Hamilton opposed granting citizenship immediately to new immigrants: "To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty." Instead, he recommended that we gradually draw newcomers into American life, "to enable aliens to get rid of foreign and acquire American attachments; to learn the principles and imbibe the spirit of our government; and to admit of a philosophy, at least, of their feeling a real interest in our affairs."

One of the facts of American history seldom discussed is the nation's long-standing preference for immigrant labor, when the alternative was to train and employ native-born black Americans. Historically, blacks have been regarded as a residual labor pool and were drawn into the urban, industrial economy only when the preferred immigrant supply was not available. As a consequence, spokesmen for black Americans historically opposed mass immigration.

THINGS TO REMEMBER WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTION APPROACHING:

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."[H. L. Mencken]

"Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law enforcement. That's our commitment. Anyone who takes the life or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent of the law."

President George W. Bush, October 23, 2002

Pelosi and Lantos are behaving as if they represent the People's Republic of San Francisco rather than two congressional districts in the United States of America.

The Logan Act -- which became law in 1798 -- forbids any American "WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF THE UNITED STATES," to communicate with a foreign government with the intent of influencing that government's actions in any "DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES WITH THE UNITED STATES."

Pelosi, Lantos, Henry Waxman, and four other Congressmen should not have gone to Syria against the wishes of the Administration.

And if Pelosi and Lantos go to Iran, they will do even more damage to American foreign policy; and they'll keep doing it, again and again and again.

1.For strictly political reasons, they have delayed funds for essential supplies, equipment and weaponry, thereby leaving our sons and daughters in uniform exposed to deadly attacks by hate-driven Islamo-fascists.

2.They have usurped the President's Constitutional role as Commander-in-Chief by passing legislation mandating a withdrawal of American forces from Iraq by April 1, 2008. President Bush was right to VETO this legislation on Tuesday night. Not only did it provide the terrorists with a date-certain of when we plan to leave the battlefield, it also included tens of billions of dollars in pork barrel spending that had nothing to do with the war.

3.They have told al-Qaeda they have won the war! "Just hang on until April 1," Reid and Pelosi are saying, "and the Democratic Party will hand you control of the entire Middle East on a silver platter. Oh yes, and when you hit us with more 9/11s -- and you surely will -- we'll blame your attacks on George Bush! A win/win proposition for both of us!"

Clinton Promises to End War, Feed Hungry, Clothe Naked, Save Mankind if Elected

Clinton to end war

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) tells the annual meeting of the Society of Moonbats that she would end the war she voted to start.

WASHINGTON : Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she would not have attacked Iraq if she were president in 2002 and would end the war if elected, as she tried to blunt rivals like John Edwards who are stoking anti-war passions in the Democratic Party.

And let me add one other thing, and I want to be very clear about this, she said. If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war.

Clinton said her vote to authorize use of force against Iraq have been taken out of context.

I thought we were ordering pizza, Clinton said in a speech to the Democratic National Committee meeting that brought the party and nine White House hopefuls together for the first time. And I thought I checked pepperoni, mushrooms, and extra cheese, but instead was voting to go to war. It was an honest mistake, and I blame George W. Bush.

Going further, Clinton said that, if elected, she would not only end war, but feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and save all mankind.

You have a clear choice. It is me or eternal damnation,Clinton said.
