Paul Tevis Blog

I thought it'd be a good idea to write in this blog once in a while, since it is a blog. I was watching a Reality Television show today, can't remember the name. Anyway, the show was basically regular people living with the homeless for 24 hours. The real homeless people were complaining the government wasn't giving them enough help. It made me think, why should the Government have to take care of people that won't take care of themselves?

Most homeless peole are homeless because they made bad decisions in life. They either did drugs, constantly got drunk, or wasted their money on uneeded items. There are some people that have sad stories, and they ended up on the streets, maybe not even intentionally. The point I'm trying to make is the Government shouldn't have to take care of the homeless. These people had choices in life, they screwed up. The Tax Payers shouldn't have to pay for the people that screw up. I'm fine with charity for the homeless, but tax money isn't okay.

I understand that foster kids with bad foster Parents get the bad end of the stick. We shouldn't fall into their sad stories than start giving tax payers dollars to them, there's another solution. We need to reform the Adoption process. Spend tax dollars on that, not the homeless. 

As many of you know, the United States has an illegal immigration problem. It doesn't matter if you agree with what's happening or if you don't, you should still know there's a problem. There has been protesting all over the United States over the bill HR4437, the bill that would make illegal immigrants felons. Some of you may think this bill is racist, others may not, but before anyone comes to any conclusions, let me explain our immigration problem.

California alone, according to Center for Immigration Studies, is spending 10.5 billion dollars a year on illegal immigrants. That 10.5 billion dollars a year is going for their free health care, schooling, jailing, welfare, deportation, and among many other situations. Teacher's Unions complain constantly that the schools aren't getting enough money, wouldn't doing something about our illegal immigrant problem put more money into our state? Yes it would. But when people stand up and want to do something about our illegal immigration problem, it all of a sudden turns into a civil rights issue.

Another problem with our illegal immigration issue is the gangs. A lot of these illegal immigrants go into gangs, causing even more problems. What a lot of the illegal immigrant sympathizers are doing is taking out the fact that we're getting more of a gang problem. They over look that issue and blindly look at one situation. This gang problem adds onto how much money we have to spend on illegal immigrants. The victims of what the illegal immigrant gang members have done to them have to be payed back for their loss somehow.

Probably the most notable thing being said is, illegal immigrants are doing jobs American citizens won't do. The biggest problem with that statement is it's false. If you look at our unemployment numbers, 7,255,000 people in the United States are unemployed according to nidataplus.com. I'm being told that no one will do the jobs that illegal immigrants are doing, how can the 7,255,000 people be spoken for? I'm sure the man or woman with a family that just lost their job would do the job that he or she is being told they won't do.

I fully understand how horrible the Mexican government treats their people, I sympathize for them. That still doesn't mean it's okay to come to the U.S. illegally, you're not being stopped from coming here legally. Illegal immigrants are hurting our economy and our unemployed. Many immigrants worked hard at coming here legally, it's basically a slap in their face. How would you feel if you worked very hard at something, but than the guy next to you cheats and gets the same results as you.

Now recently, you've been seeing all this protesting against bill HR4437. People think that illegal immigrants have rights in our country that you're supposed come to legally. No illegal immigrant has rights in this country, they're not legal, it's just simple as that. You can argue on a moral aspect or a religious aspect. But in the New Testament, it clearly states that one must follow a country's immigration laws, Caser's Law.

President Bush wants to pass a “Guest Worker” program. Basically gives the people in this country amnesty, and for those of you who don't know what amnesty is, it's full legalization. The problem with amnesty is you're giving criminals legal status in our country. We should never reward criminals, they're breaking the law. Other countries are laughing at us more than usual right now because we're giving into criminals, they're getting their way.

My last point I will make is May 1^st', “A day without immigrants.” That day was supposabley supposed to be the day that the United State's economy would fall. Funny thing about that, crime was down and our freeways weren't crowded. So if a day without immigrants is supposed to be bad for the U.S., please do more of this protesting. I love seeing our freeways flowing smoothly, and our crime rate down. A day without immigrants I guess is a great day, that's what the protesters are showing us, even if they're not trying to. I do have to say though, it gets me very angry that these people that want to be here so badly will hang our flag upside down and disgrace it. True, May 1^st didn't have as much Mexican flags as they previously did, but they still did. I still saw U.S. Flags being held upside down and not only that, they were being dragged on the floor. And now we have our National Anthem being disgraced, it's trying to be sold off as being the U.S. National Anthem just translated, but when you translate it, it's not the same words.

The solution to our illegal immigration problem is passing HR4437, make these criminals felons, secure our borders, hire more border patrol employees. Than after we're done securing our borders, slowly deport the illegal immigrants. I can guarantee you that if we do something about illegal immigration, the United States will be a more economic prosperous country, and a safer country.

Saddam Tape

ABC has obtained an audio tape with Saddam Hussein. On the tape, Saddam's son-in-law talks about how their WMD's were hidden from U.N. inspectors while U.N. inspectors searched for the WMD's. They openly admit to having them, and hiding them. This story hasn't been thrown around though, not even by Fox News ("The far right news channel"). I'm buffled why this story hasn't been spread around the News Channels. For all you blue collared liberals out there, especially the one's that till this day say Iraq had no WMD's, please keep your mouth shut. You're an embarrasment to this country that is already critizied by every other country anyway. The U.S. is the world police, you may ask why, I'll tell you why. No other country could be, we're the most powerful country in the world. And with that power, comes great responsibilities.

As a lot of you internet junkies may know, the MPA is locking down on everything! The MPA is now shutting down websites offering guitar tabs.

MxTabs.com is no longer available to you seaking guitar tabs. It has been shut down by the MPA, a movement by the MPA that is upsetting many. The thing that gets me is, how many people out there getting guitar tabs from MxTabs are making money off the tabs? I'm taking a pretty good guess not many people, if any are making money off the tabs. The site is simply there to give guitarists the tabs to songs they'd like to learn. If anything, the people learning the tabs are just spreading the songs around more for the people's enjoyment.

How far will the MPA go? Too far already if you ask me. It's getting quite ridiculous that they're going as far as shutting down MxTabs.com for providing guitar tabs. If they're really that hungry for shutting down stuff, work a little harder on the people providing pirated videos over the internet, or in this case, anything pirated.

Why we’re in Iraq
(Whether you believe it or not)



Let me get started off by saying the far left media has misjudged and explained this war in so many wrong ways. They have lead many people all over the world to believe that we’re in Iraq for all the wrong reasons. Other countries doubt the U.S., and are beginning to hate us. You could blame this all on President Bush Jr., or you could read on and understand what is happening and why it is happening.

On September 11th, 2001, the United States was attacked by a ruthless, un-human evil. We were taken by surprise by an enemy that is too cowardly to deal with what they did. Thousands of people died that day, all because of a cowardly group. Bush was blamed for the attacks; people said he could have prevented something that already happened. Whether he could have prevented the attacks or not, it happened, and it probably wouldn’t have mattered if we had a different President.

Seven days after the attacks, the Invasion of Afghanistan was declared. Terrorist’s camps were destroyed. The search for the “leader” of the attacks, Osama Bin Laden, was underway. We were not going to let the cowards responsible for the attacks get off easily. Osama has yet to be found, but we’re not giving up.

On October 16, 2002, Operation Iraqi Freedom was declared. There were sources stating that Saddam Hussein had links to the 9/11 attacks. Incase you didn’t know, those sources weren’t just the CIA, but other countries too. If any President were to ignore those claims, he or she wouldn’t be doing what they were elected to do. Now if Mr. Bush was to ignore those claims, and we were attacked again, guess who gets the blame once again. In a War on Terrorism, you don’t take chances, if there are sources pointing towards a country that could be linked to terrorism, you go after them.

There are three main reasons we went into Iraq, WMD’s, possible linking to terrorism, and to liberate the Iraqi people from a harsh dictator. Now when you hear anyone say there were no WMD’s in Iraq and we shouldn’t be there, remember that wasn’t the only reason we went into Iraq. Saddam Hussein tortured his people; they didn’t have the privilege of having rights. They were under a dictatorship that didn’t allow rights.

When you watch the news, you hear about all these road side bombings and our soldiers dieing. But what you don’t hear about is all the schools our soldiers have made for the Iraqi children. People can freely vote for whom they want to, woman can now vote! Iraqi’s now have freedoms; they shouldn’t have been deprived of them under the rule of Saddam. If you object to the War, you’re objecting to giving the Iraqi people freedom. You’re objecting to democracy. What do you think our Soldier’s in Iraq want to hear? I can sure tell you they don’t want to hear that we’re saying the Iraqi people don’t want us here. Especially when our Soldiers are being thanked everyday by Iraqi people, and being told they appreciate everything they’re doing for them.

You hear a lot of the negative things happening in Iraq, but you rarely hear the good actions. I’ve meat many soldiers that have come back from Iraq, they are proud of what we’re doing in Iraq. But you know what they’re tired of hearing? That we’re not welcomed in Iraq by our own people.

If you oppose the war, you oppose what every human in the world should have; freedom. Don’t say you think there should be world democracy, but you’re opposing the War in Iraq. There wouldn’t be freedom in Iraq right now if it wasn’t for the U.S.
