Your Tax Dollars At Work: Unnecessary Highway Sign Font Manipulation

In some states you have started seeing a strange new font appear on some of your highway signs. You may hvae noticed that a number of the letters and numbers don't look quite the way they used to.
The reason: The federal government have started publishing standards for how to implement this new font, called "Clearview".
And you are paying for this rather radical adjustment to your signage.
It is already becoming more commonplace throughout Arkansas, Texas, and Pennsylvania. But just because PennDot, ADOT, and TxDot like it, is it really necessary?
The study says yes...and the idea is that instead of using standard FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) fonts which come in series A through F with a super boldfaced E Modified font, the latter of which has become de rigueur in Oklahoma and to a lesser extent Missouri, but which has become standard for most state route markers in Oklahoma, with the exception of the new Oklahoma state markers.
The new Oklahoma markers debuted in January with an outline of the state near the top of the frame and the usually D-series FHWA font numbers near the bottom, with some three-digit numbers getting C-series and a few B-series.

(LEFT---An example of an Oklahoma interstate route marker with E Modified numbers and letters)
(RIGHT---(TOP) New Oklahoma state route markers, debuted in January 2006; (CENTRE) Old Oklahoma state route markers, used since the 1960s; (BOTTOM) Old Oklahoma state route markers with E Modified numbers, used in the 1990s and 2000s)

But back to the Clearview/FHWA Standards: I really don't see the need for a new font if the enhanced visibility is only a small fraction (11 to 15 percent) or even if the font uses a smaller footprint in some cases than the FHWA counterpart.
And besides, if the conditions are heavily fogged, or if you are experiencing reduced vision, it doesn't matter what you use on your signs, you are going to have greater difficulty reading the signs.
The FHWA's, TxDot's, and Penndot's own studies show that there is not that much improvement in the visibility in Clearview Series 5WR over FHWA Standard Series D or E, though Series E---that is the font you most commonly see on most highway signs in the United States, Spain, Holland, South Africa (which are using more Normschrift, the font series common to road signs in Germany), Australia (though the state of Victoria, which have begun implementing UK-style letter-number combination route designations, like M1, A2, and B3, are also using Transport, which is common to UK roads and to some extent Pennsylvania), New Zealand, and most provincial highways in Canada.
This may be a sign for you to take better care of your eyes in the first place, see an ophthamologist as necessary, I have, and used to use reading glasses for a while in my teens, and later wore prescription sunglasses, and definitely DO NOT forget to take Vitamin A or at the least eat Vitamin A-enriched foods like carrots.
Also to note that states need to start making larger signs with much larger fonts, which is the experience in Oklahoma and Missouri. Modot are now using larger and bolder fonts with slightly smaller route markers which may well be a disadvantage on that part if you are trying to figure out what route you are about to take especially in dark and/or inclement conditions.
As for ODOT, you can see clearly that their experience is to use bolder fonts and sometimes larger route markers, at least in Tulsa you will see wider route markers for Interstate 244 with bolder numbers. It is not uncommon to see US Highway Route markers still bearing the bolder numbers although most US highway signs bear D Series.






(Hypothetical examples of typical motorway junction overhead signage. In reality State Highway 17 in California is ACTUALLY north/south in Counties Santa Clara and Santa Cruz; also, California have not used white state route markers since 1964.)





(A) Current FHWA standards; (B) Clearview proposal; (X) My solution

Maybe I should offer my own solution to the problem: Fill the whole sign, larger markers as with Oklahoma, larger fonts as with Missouri, but even bigger still, FILL THE SIGN with text and route markers, as much as 25 percent larger markers and 25 to 35 percent larger fonts, that way there can be no doubt about the legibility of the signs.
And we won't need another series of fonts to mess with either.

GEORGE SOROS: A CRIMINAL THREAT TO AMERICA

Much attention has been paid to Hungarian-born immigrant George Soros who has made his billions on the backs of foreign currencies. He tried to break the British pound sterling and the Malaysian ringgit, then had to deal with French authorities regarding suspect investments.

And now he has squarely targeted the American government.

Soros has dumped millions upon millions of his money into fringe leftist organisations like MoveOn.org and other Communist front groups in effort to hijack democracy as we know it and steal Congress from the people, even dumping millions into the media for falsehood-riddled and defamatory advertisements, openly attacking a sitting wartime president.

And this pattern continues even after he poured millions into an effort to hijack the George Walker Bush presidency but as we all know more than enough Americans stood up to Soros and the likes of MoveOn.org---a neocommunist front group established by supporters of the media-selected phony president Bill Clinton when they did not like the truth being told about Clinton's myriad scandals including his lying to a grand jury---and yet both Soros and MoveOn.org are cursed with one thing in common: their irrational partisan hatred.

They are consumed with a reckless and vengeful intolerance of anyone who disagrees with their closedminded viewpoint, their flawed drumbeat of hate the President, hate Congress, hate George W Bush, hate Dick Cheney, hate Condoleezza Rice, hate, hate, hate.

They also play the blame game, blame the President, blame Congress, blame George W Bush, blame Dick Cheney, blame Condoleezza Rice, blame, blame, blame, blame them for Iraq, blame them for Afghanistan, blame them for the terrorist attacks of 11 September, blame, blame, blame, especially when many of their own principals:

* APPEASED those who CAUSED the acts of 11 September by failing to address the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing AND the Nairobi and Daressalaam embassy bombings in 1998 AND the USS Cole bombing in 2000 (1)

* Worked with a president who HAD HIS CHANCE to pop Osama BinLaden and behead AlQaeda before they could gain the power that they have gained (2) and BLEW THAT CHANCE whilst engaged in sexual play with an intern (3)

* DISMANTLED the military by consistently cutting the budget time after time, to the point where military aircraft were SCAVENGED FOR PARTS (4)

* ABUSED the military to cover up presidential scandals at home to no avail (5) putting them under international dictates (6) and even destroyed the good name of Michael New when he refused to wear the blue UN helmets (7)

* AIDED AND ABETTED illegal aliens in the United States (8)

* AIDED AND ABETTED convicted felons (9)

* AIDED AND ABETTED election fraud (10)

* AIDED AND ABETTED illegal aliens invading Serbia from Albania (11)

* ATTACKED the sovereignty of the United States (12)

* ATTACKED the sovereignty of the republic of Serbia for innocently defending themselves from terrorist invaders (13)
* APPEASED the flooding of Red Chinese products into the American marketplace by overlooking their human rights violations for the sake of cheaper products (13) further damaging the American manufacturing industries (14) and showing blatant hypocrisy toward their union backers by favouring cheap goods from and slave labour in Red China over quality-made American goods built by union labour in the United States (15)

* ATTACKED the freedoms of gun owners' rights (16)

* ATTACKED the freedoms of unborn rights supporters (17)

* Tried FORCING socialised medicine upon an unwilling American populace which openly protested their national "Hillarycare" tour (18)

* And even tried to attack the success of talk radio hosts critical of the Clinton anointistration by proposing the reimposition of the so-called Fairness Doctrine in 1993 (19)

* APPEASED North Korean dictators Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il by giving them two-way talks that led to them getting oil for their country in supposed exchange for shutting down their nuclear power plant (20)...but as we all know, Clinton let Il off the hook and didn't hold him to account, now they have nuclear weapons.

* And all have been glorified by the controlled media with their similar partisan tendencies (21)

So I don't see where their principals have anything to stand on. These people reacted with rage in 1994 when we the people decided that for the first time in 40 years we really truly were going to have a Congress by the people for the people of the people not the media. The result was the Republican revolution and many new measures were passed, though the President did veto many of those, but he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to approve welfare reform then claimed all the credit.

Most recently that same faux President erupted at Fox News' Chris Wallace in an interview, falsely claiming he had a plan to catch BinLaden. We all know that he didn't even try.

Just showing you all of that so you can see the background of the supporters of Former President Bill Clinton.

And that is the sort of background that fuels the contempt that Soros and MoveOn.org have for President George W Bush and for the Republican Congress.

Truth is they also have contempt for the majority of Americans who WANT secure borders, who WANT to protect their freedom, who WANT to finish the job in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And let's look into Soros' background even more:

Soros has funded campaigns to decriminalise doctor-assisted homicide and dangerous drugs like cannabis.

He has also heavily funded Democrat campaigns as far back as 2000.

He has singlehandedly collapsed the Thai economy. (That article link ALSO contains more information about his movements that helped stifle privatisation in Russia and fuel the rise of antisocial socialism. They even conveniently and falsely and grossly underreported the numbers of Nato-killed Serbians.)

He has employed methods similar to those used by Enron executives.

He has established "Democracy Collaborative", another neosocialist group that sponsored John Kerry in his failed run for the presidency.

He spent more than $80.000 on one of his organisations dedicated to defeating laws criminalising drugs in effort to unseat a county prosecutor in New York state in the 2004 Democratic primary...in a method that violated state and federal campagin laws.

He then pushed MORE money into Fenton Communications---a leftist PR firm that claims MoveOn.org as a top client---which then pushed a greater bid focusing on an irrational anti-American, anti-war message.
(And helped push the campaigns of Wesley Clark AND Howard Dean for the DNC nomination.)

He also accused US House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-IL, of a "smear campaign" when Hastert confronted Soros on the source of his $7bn fortune.

And a grieving parent who tried to warn the National Press Club at a 2004 press conference of the threat that George Soros poses to American freedom liberty sovereignty and democracy with his drugs legalisation plans was brutally assaulted by hired criminal thugs who dislocated Steve Steiner's shoulder. Mr Steiner is the founder of Dads And Mad Moms Against Drug Dealers (DAMMADD)...and paid to attend a conference where draconian security personnel dictated that if one person at a table dared dissent everyone would be dumped out.

He led a workshop an April 2005 workshop in Arizona featuring 70 wealthy individuals on how to push his brand of Marxism, a meeting convened by a former Clinton Commerce Department official, and on which Democrat party officials were kept informed.

And he gave more than $24m of his money to organisations like MoveOn.org in the 2004 election cycle alone in effort to steal the White House and the Congress from the American people.



But of course the controlled media are hellbent on ignoring his evildoing in favour of mongering fake scandals against the majority Republican leadership and thus the Republican majority in this country are further threatened as George Soros seeks to encourage government by the media for the media of the media not the people...and you know it needs to be the other way around.

The media conveniently defame the upstanding character of Halliburton whilst ignoring a real threat to our freedom from George Soros whose personal wealth is more than half that of the needlessly maligned company.

And whilst Republicans raised large amounts of money on their own, and through a wider variety of donors---George Soros was cited as having donated to the left-leaning Media Fund and MoveOn.org, thus furthering his reputation for having bought MoveOn.org and a number of left-wing organisations. It has even gone to the point where MoveOn.org have now claimed they own the Democrat party...with pride!

He also bankrolled Ned Lamont's theft of Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman's party nomination in the Democratic primary in that state Since then Senator Lieberman has received a major boost from REPUBLICANS...including even those in the WHITE HOUSE...who have sacrificed their own party candidate in that race, a man named Schlesinger, for the sake of keeping the treasonous fringe out of power, particularly in a state where independents outnumber both Democrats and Republicans.



And George Soros is indeed responsible for hijacking a major political party.



Someone needs to tell George Soros that we the people have taken back our power to choose our leadership. We the people will never tolerate those who seek to steal power from us by thinking they can "buy" their way into power.

And George Soros has clearly shown us how much contempt he has for the American people as a whole as well as our government and our way of life. Why didn't he simply move back to Hungary and try to improve the way that those people live instead?! What is he doing here in America if he doesn't like it so much?

O, I see. He is trying to steal power from us so he can impose his neocommunist hegemony upon the masses.
This is where we absolutely positively MUST wake the hell up and see the light. This is where we need to see how much of a threat George Soros is to our freedom. This is where we MUST see where the REAL culture of corruption and criminality reside: well within the Democratic party and the neocommunist neosocialist neoliberal fringe minority movements, both of which are heavily funded by George Soros.

It is now way past time to start investigating George Soros. You read this right: We need a US Attorney or the Attorney General to indict Soros---already convicted in France of insider trading---for his fraudulent dealings in American politics.



Where We Can Stick Soros



We can bust George Soros under the following laws:



Federal Election Code, Section 437g, Subsection (A)(12)(d)(1)(A)(i)
Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation of any provision of this Act which involves the
making, receiving, or reporting of any contribution, donation or expenditure—

(i) aggregating $25000 or more during a calendar year shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both


On which we have MULTIPLE charges involved in just the 2006 campaigns alone let alone the 2004 and 2002 campaigns.



Federal Election Code, Section 437g, Subsection (A)(12)(d)(1)(B)

(B) In the case of a knowing and willful violation of section 441b(b)(3) of this title, the penalties set forth in this subsection shall apply to a violation involving an amount aggregating $250 or more during a calendar year. Such violation of section 441b(b)(3) of this title may incorporate a violation of section 441c(b), 441f, and 441g of this title.



The law goes yet even further. Check out the following further penalties:



(C) In the case of a knowing and willful violation of section 441h of this title, the penalties set forth in this subsection shall apply without regard to whether the making, receiving, or reporting of a contribution or expenditure of $1,000 or more is involved.

(D) Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation of section 320 (2 U.S.C. § 441f) involving an amount aggregating more than $10000 during a calendar year shall be—

(i) imprisoned for not more than 2 years if the amount is less than $25.000 (and subject to imprisonment under subparagraph (A) if the amount is $25000 or more);

(ii) fined not less than 300 percent of the amount involved in the violation and not more than the greater of—

(I) $50000; or

(II) 1000 percent of the amount involved in the violation; or

(iii) both imprisoned under clause (i) and fined under clause (ii)




Of course Soros could indeed claim ignorance and try to get a lesser sentence and fine, but it is doubtful that he will get that sort of outcome; he is on his way to prison and getting some of his wealth liquidated, maybe even deported back to Hungary where he came from. Check this out anyway:



Federal Election Code, Section 437g, Subsection (A)(12)(d)(2)

In any criminal action brought for a violation of any provision of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of this title 26, any defendant may evidence their lack of knowledge or in tent to commit the alleged violation by introducing as evidence a conciliation agreement entered into between the defendant and the Commission under subsection (a)(4)(A) of this section which specifically deals with the act or failure to act constituting such violation and which is still in effect.


Federal Election Code, Section 441a
(a) Dollar limits on contributions.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (i) and section 315A (2 U.S.C. § 441a-1), no person shall make contributions*—

(A) to any candidate and his authorized political committees with respect to any election for Federal office which, in the aggregate, exceed $2000;

(B) to the political committees established and maintained by a national political party, which are not the authorized political committees of any candidate, in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed $25000;

(C) to any other political committee (other than a committee described in subparagraph (D)) in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed $5000; or

(D) to a political committee established and maintained by a State committee of a political party in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed $10000.




*Sections 102 and 307 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA), Pub.
L. No. 107-155, amended section 441a to modify contribution limits. This section was
further amended by section 319(b) of BCRA to cross-reference new section 441a-1 and
new paragraph (i). These amendments apply with respect to contributions made on or
after January 1, 2003.




This next section applies to organisations like MoveOn.org which have ALSO put themselves at risk of being shut down for their OWN campaign violations, in addition to that of their primary benefactor George Soros:



(2) No multicandidate political committee shall make contributions—

(A) to any candidate and his authorized political committees with respect to any election for Federal office which, in the aggregate, exceed $5000;

(B) to the political committees established and maintained by a national political party, which are not the authorized political committees of any candidate, in any calendar year, which, in the aggregate, exceed $15000; or

(C) to any other political committee in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed $5000.




Another section applicable to groups like MoveOn.org in this matter, as well as those established by Soros, especially with regard to donations like those from George Soros and others like him, is Section 441a Subsection (f) which reads as follows:



(f) Prohibited contributions and expenditures.

No candidate or political committee shall knowingly accept any contribution or make any expenditure in violation of the provisions of this section. No officer or employee of a political committee shall knowingly accept a contribution made for the benefit or use of a candidate, or knowingly make any expenditure on behalf of a candidate, in violation of any limitation imposed on contributions and expenditures under this section.




If we take into account the assault upon Steve Steiner we may find that the next few provisos also apply to the hired thugs who attacked Steiner, the organisers, and possibly even Soros himself:



§ 594. Intimidation of voters

Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.


(This article certainly applies to a now-dismissed staffer of a California GOP congressional candidate in a recent article.)



§ 606. Intimidation to secure political contributions

Whoever, being one of the officers or employees of the United States mentioned in section 602 of this title, discharges, or promotes, or degrades, or in any manner changes the offi cial rank or compensation of any other offi cer or employee, or promises or threatens so to do, for giving or withholding or neglecting to make any contribution of money or other valuable thing for any political purpose, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.


§ 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies and committees

Whoever, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance, in whole or in part, with any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, willfully withholds misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony, which is the subject of such demand; or attempts to do so or solicits another to do so; or

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication infl uences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House, or any joint committee of the Congress—

Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331 [of 18 U.S.C.]), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.




So evidently we have some serious cases of election fraud we could slam Soros and even associations affiliated with him, from MoveOn.org to the Open Society Institute. We have so far 11 ways to break Soros and his evil neocommunist empire. But that's not all of it: The Racketeer and Influenced Corrupt Organisations Act, Title 18, United States Code, Section 1952 (relating to racketeering) would also apply to both Soros and to groups like MoveOn.org, as would Section 1956 (relating to the laundering of monetary instruments).

If we had a United States Attorney or an Attorney General willing to prosecute this matter we could easily send Mr Soros to prison for an extended term...and/or even deport him back to his native Hungary. We could also seize his wealth and use that to finance the Justice Department or at least the United States Attorneys offices. And to be able to use $7bn to the REAL advantage of the people would be a credit (1) and a benefit (2) to the United States...but only if we put the heat on our government. This is where YOU have to pick up the ball.
This is where YOU write, call, EMAIL, your Congressman, your Senator, your Representative, the Department of Justice, the United States Attorney's Office, and you DEMAND a full investigation into George Soros, if not also the organisations that he financed.

And then we would see some REAL cleanup of the political financing scene. THAT is what American politics needs...not a flawed Voter Disenfranchisement Act that muzzles the common man and the common woman for 30 to 60 days before a primary or an election yet gives the controlled media a free pass to continue as they see fit promoting their choices with biased coverage.

And then we truly would have government BY the people FOR the people OF the people NOT the media!



So is George Soros REALLY the man who bought the world? Not necessarily but he is certainly trying hard to buy Congress and the American government.
And here is where AMERICANS must come in.

Yes, that's right. If you are an American that includes YOU!

Start by spreading the word about the criminal threat people like George Soros pose to our freedom, our liberty, our republic, our democracy, our way of life. Tell your friends, your neighbours, your partners, your lovers, your family, your fellow employees the whole truth about Soros' evil gameplan. Get involved with groups like StopMoveOn.org---NOW!

YOUR FREEDOM DEPENDS HEAVILY UPON IT. Get your friends involved...it is the ONLY way we will defeat the menace of George Soros.

HAVE THE ACLU VIOLATED THE RICO ACT?

In 1970, Congress passed the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1961-1968. At the time, Congress' goal was to eliminate the ill-affects of organized crime on the nation's economy. To put it bluntly, RICO was intended to destroy the Mafia.

We all know that the American Civil Liberties Union have involved themselves in a number of controversial courtroom decisions in recent years. We have seen them get involved in issues ranging from immigration issues to marriage issues to unborn rights to freedom of speech.
But their voracity toward attacking laws that the people approved in effort to counter some of the more radical problems afflicting our society with some common sense may have gone way too far.
So what does the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act---the RICO Act---have to do with the ACLU's antics? More than you think. And here's one example:

Last year the ACLU successfully won the overturn of an Oregon law prohibiting live sex acts. But before you start cheering, understand that they also explain their own motives in their Policy 211: “The ACLU supports the decriminalization of prostitution and opposes state regulation of prostitution”.
There is a sinister side behind this policy: With their opposition to zoning laws and their claim that whatever consenting adults do in private is "their own business" it suddenly becomes more evident that such activity can suddenly become public and next thing you know you have houses of ill repute opening near schools and churches and amusement parks and neighbourhood park.
But wait, you say. What about my right to conduct business like that?
NO! WHAT ABOUT PARENTS' RIGHTS TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN WITHOUT THAT SORT OF THING CONSTANTLY LOOMING OVER THEIR HEADS? You want to sell pornograhic magazines at corner markets? I have no problem! But this is different!
And speaking of children and sex acts, they even challenged a 1997 Massachusetts law prohibiting the mere possession of child pornography. But for those who do not have the benefit of HighBeam.com membership I'll reprint excerpts from that Boston Herald article.

From the Boston Herald, ACLU: New child porn law won't pass high court challenge, 9 December 1997:

QUOTE: John Roberts, executive director of the Boston branch of the American Civil Liberties Union
"Mere possession should not be a crime. This law really sweeps too far, and from an ACLU point of view, this really gets into areas that we believe are protected by the First Amendment."
And the ACLUnatics would even like to see child pornography legalised---which a Supreme Court ruling appeared to favour in their 2004 case that crippled the Child Online Protection Act.
Right off the bat I can tell you of SEVERAL RICO Act violations committed by the ACLUnatics:
Section 1503 (relating to obstruction of justice)
Section 1510 (relating to obstruction of criminal investigations)
Section 1511 (relating to the obstruction of State or local law enforcement)
Sections 2251, 2251A, 2252, and 2260 (relating to sexual exploitation of children)

In their particular quest for seeking the appeasement of paedophiles and paedophilia and decriminalisation of child pornography the ACLUnatics have dug themselves a deep enough hole that if we had an attorney general with enough balls to indict them we could surely see them hit with no less than seven ways to pursue criminal charges under the RICO Act...and the case would stick like peanut butter to hot toast.

"The law was officially signed by acting Gov. Paul Cellucci at a ceremony yesterday. Under the statute, individuals who are caught with any visual or computer image of a child under 18 engaged in sex acts could be prosecuted as felons.
First-time offenders could be jailed for up to five years if convicted, while second-time offenders could face five years to life imprisonment and those convicted a third time could be jailed for 10 years to life, the law states. "

And that's supposedly not good enough for the ACLU? Hello, I thought that this was the ACLU that cared so much for children's rights when they have problems with schools that won't let them wear "F--K BUSH" tee shirts!
Alas that is the other side of the coin: The ACLU will eagerly protect child molestors claiming it is just a lifestyle choice, denigrating homosexuals and bisexuals by comparing paedophilia to those two groups...and this ON TOP of the ACLUnatics' blind defence of a Marxist agenda concerning LGBT folk!

""There will be zero tolerance for those who dare to dabble in this filth," Cellucci said, adding that Massachusetts was the 43rd state in the nation to enact such a law.
Cellucci was joined at yesterday's signing by the father of 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered in October allegedly by two men branded by authorities as sexual predators.
Curley dismissed the legal concerns about the bill, and said it was a "major step forward in the fight against child predators.""

And guess who is bankrolling the canteen of one of the killers of young Jeffrey Curley?

The Boston Herald reports that Jaynes is now battling efforts by his victim’s mother to uncover whether NAMBLA is bankrolling Jaynes’ prison canteen. There were court affidavits from two inmates claiming Jaynes engages in sex acts in the prison without discipline, shows off his victim’s autopsy and has a fat canteen account courtesy of NAMBLA.

What do the ACLU have in common with the North American Man/Boy Love Association?

From "The ACLU And Nambla: A Match Made In Hell"

"The ACLU is a supporter of NAMBLA, representing the organization in the civil case related to the aforementioned murder. The ACLU is representing NAMBLA PRO BONO. Their official position: “In representing NAMBLA, the ACLU does not advocate sexual relationships between adults and children. What we do advocate is robust freedom of speech. This lawsuit strikes at the heart of freedom of speech. The defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people find repulsive.” "

Want to know how Jeffrey Curley was murdered? Get ready for this, from the same source:

"Charles Jaynes, 25, reportedly viewed the group’s web site shortly before the killing of Jeffrey Curley, a 10 year old boy, slain in 1997. Jaynes also had in his possession some of NAMBLA’s publications. Also convicted in the killing was 24 year old Salvatore Sicari. Sicari, convicted of first degree murder, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Jaynes’ second degree murder and kidnapping convictions enable him to seek parole within the next 20 years. Was this a case of misunderstanding? Does this fit with NAMBLA’s philosophy of man/boy love that is non violent? Hardly. Prosecutors said Jaynes and Sicari were sexually obsessed with the boy, lured him from his Cambridge neighborhood with the promise of a new bike, and then smothered him with a gasoline soaked rag when he resisted their sexual advances. They then stuffed him into a concrete filled container and dumped it into a Maine river."

Sick? OK, I'll wait for you to grab a SevenUp or some saltines.

Now, this is the sort of filth that the ACLU seek to appease in their entirely ungodly alliance with Nambla. And we come back to those four elements of the RICO Act which if we had an attorney general with enough balls we could easily break those filthy bastards under that act...and then bust Nambla under the same act to boot! THINK ABOUT IT!

Back to that Boston Herald article:

"But even supporters of the bill such as Plymouth County District Attorney Michael J. Sullivan admitted the law will be tough to enforce because it will involve monitoring private activities in the home or on a personal computer.
"Detection obviously is going to be a challenge," he said.
And civil rights lawyers scoffed at the notion the bill will pass constitutional muster."

I can't see why we mayn't be able to trace child pornography if we can trace terrorist activity...but more importantly it is going to come down to us to start busting child pornographers online and those efforts are being aided by law enforcement and by websites like this one. And BTW that law would most certainly pass constitutional muster considering the grave impact child pornography would impose upon the general public!

ANOTHER EXCEDRIN HEADACHE (BristolMyersSquibb trademark, 1964): APPEASING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Illegal immigration is constantly in the news day and night, 24X7X366. Most Americans, irrespective of skin colour, age, ancestry, sex, or sexuality, are increasingly opposed to people jumping the borders...so much that an organisation formed in order to monitor the borders to check for gaps in the Immigration and Naturalisation Service's and the Border Patrol's efforts.
What you may or may not also know is the ACLUnatics have been front and centre in their efforts to oppose the Minuteman Project---in fact they harassed the organisation by interfering with their efforts to help enforce immigration laws and the borders by falsely branding them as "racists" and setting up warning systems and advising illegal aliens not to cross the border where Minuteman Project volunteers were working in Arizona. Sounds like the Minuteman Project are within their rights to sue the ACLUnatics for defamation of character and libel...and could crush them with a bootheel from HELL.
The ACLU even have an "Immigration Rights Project" which for 19 years has worked to find ways to flout US immigration laws. And this is on top of their move to ask a Los Angeles court to allow illegal immigrant groups to intervene in Judicial Watch's Special Order 40 Lawsuit in September 2006.
Earlier this year the ACLU complained about immigration law reforms stripping away the due process rights of illegals...showing you just how far off course immigration law enforcement has really gone.

I just found another THREE sections of the RICO Act with which we can indict the ACLUnatics which apply in this situation and they are as follows:

Section 1425 (relating to the procurement of citizenship or nationalization unlawfully)
Section 1426 (relating to the reproduction of naturalization or citizenship papers)
Section 1427 (relating to the sale of naturalization or citizenship papers)

In addition, because such activities invariably involve forged government documents like passports and drivers licences and visas, we find that these articles ALSO warrant prosecution under the following acts:

Section 1542 (relating to false statement in application and use of passport)
Section 1543 (relating to forgery or false use of passport)
Section 1544 (relating to misuse of passport)
Section 1546 (relating to fraud and misuse of visas, permits, and other documents)

The ACLU have even been known to defend illegal aliens' supposed rights to welfare payments. Therefore I propose that we also charge them under the following section of the act:

Section 1954 (relating to unlawful welfare fund payments)

How many charges could we file in this case? I could think of no fewer than 15 counts of RICO Act violations...and that is only the tip of a massive iceberg in which we could nail the ACLU for hundreds if not thousands of RICO Act violations...and George Romero, the ACLU President, would be amongst those headed to federal prison where they belong!
Is it any wonder talk radio host Mark Levin calls them the American Criminal Liberties Union?
