It has been over two months sense my last post here on bullspit. Not because I don't like you, or because there is a shortage of things to write about, rather because I haven't had the time.
For that I give you an announcement!
Announcement
By September 31st I will roll out a new version of bullspit, complete with dueling sides of issues! What does that mean? I'm moving bullspit from a conservatively ran web blog with a few users contributing to a balanced argument between the left and right, each side will have the ability to post their version of a story and you will be tasked with calling their bullspit! Commenting will be used to facilitate the call outs.
If you are a conservative or liberal contact

to be included in the argument. Anyone is able too and this is YOUR opportunity to balance the argument!
Until Sept 31st no new users will be permitted to register and all community functions are hearby disabled. I will be using a complete new system, I will do my best transferring users and content to the new system but I can not guarantee 100% success, if there is content you wish to preserve I HIGHLY recommend you copy the content and save in a text or word file on your computers until the new system is launched. Then if has not been transferred (all that can will be on the day of launch), you will be able to setup a new account and repost the articles.
Thank you to all my 15 readers, LOL, maybe less, the next year should prove to one of growth and definitely fighting :-), let the tempers flair, and remember, "if you're not first, your last!" - Richy Bobby
Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this;
..........it will scare the beejeebers out of you!
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado .. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America
The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States He said, 'If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.''
'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said:
'First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country... History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy , if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims.'
Last year, Charla Nash was called to the home of her friend Sandra Herold to help her in dealing with her difficult pet chimpanzee, Travis, in Stamford, Connecticut. Travis went on a rampage, beating Charla Nash nearly to death and severely disfiguring her in the process. Police responded, and also the responding officer fatally shot the errant chimp. Charla went to the Cleveland Clinic for surgery and after a long stay in therapy, has been recently released. A chimpanzee is not necessarily the kind of pet you need to put some fast cash into getting.
Charla Nash updates "Today" show
Meredith Vieira interviewed Charla Nash recently about her situation, according to MSNBC. The attack entirely disfigured her face, and given that the tragic occurrence, she has worn a veil wherever she goes. Her eyes had to be removed. She calls for constant assistance, as she can't use her hands or eat solid food. She spent over a year within the Cleveland Clinic undergoing surgery and therapy. She wants to get face and hand transplants.
The Arizona immigration law, recently signed by Governor Jan Brewer, has won few fans. The President, the Mexican government, Meghan McCain, and Janet Napolitano, all are against it. While the debate for now is over the methods, something has to be done about the issue. As it stands, Arizona practically has to run for a personal loan company to deal with the problem as it is.
Janet Napolitano slams Arizona immigration law
The Arizona immigration law was blasted by Janet Napolitano. As head of the Department of Homeland Security, she feels that the law in question "is a misguided law." (From CNN .) The issue has long gone without remedy, and it might come to the fore of Congressional and Presidential agendas.
Meghan McCain breaks rank with famous father
Meghan McCain daughter of John McCain, does not agree with her father on this one. She recently wrote a column on The Daily Beast , she posted that the bill is a "bad law" and it "misses the bigger picture of what is really going on with illegal immigration." She also posted those who don't see the impacts of illegal immigration on a daily basis, good and negative, can't appreciate the complexity of the situation.
The Government of Mexico weighs in
The President of Mexico himself believes Governor Brewer has done numerous a disservice with the bill. President Felipe Calderon issued a statement announcing his frustration with the measure.
Ahhhhh... how is that even possible? The insurance companies will now be paying my employer to insure me? What's especially scary is the group of people around the President yelling and clapping when he makes this statement.
