I can remember back in 1994 when the Republican Party took control of the House and the Senate after 40 years of Democrats being in power. The House Bank Scandal was the straw that broke the camel’s back and people were ready for change. Newt Gingrich led the charge with the Contract with American which vowed to institute several Conservative principles from the Balanced Budget Amendment, Welfare Reform, Secure Borders, Reduced Spending, Line Item Veto, and many other practices of limited government which the Founding Fathers intended our government to be. Along with President Clinton the House & Senate passed Welfare Reform, Shorter Budgets, and the Line Item Veto (Later overturned by the Supreme Court). These actions were a big factor to the economic boom of the 1990’s along with the Tech Sector growing by leaps and bounds. Inflation was under control, and energy prices were kept at a steady pace. Though President Clinton had his share of clashes with the Republicans, they were able to work together for the benefit of the Country.
Fast forward to the year 2001. President Bush is sworn in as the 43rd President Of The United States. In the beginning Conservative principles were implemented like the tax cuts which even benefited the middle class (just ask anybody about the child tax credit). Then came the 180 degree twist that began drifting the Republican Party from the party once considered the champions of limited government to the Party of Big Spenders which was one of the factors the Democrats lost in 1994. From the No Child Left Behind Act which Ted Kennedy himself wrote 95% of it, the U.A.E. Ports Deal, Ignoring the constant invasion of our borders by Illegal Aliens and wanting to give them citizenship in the name of 21st century labor, betraying American citizens that volunteer their time to patrol the borders that their government continues to ignore, and in the process tips off the Mexican Government of their locations so more Illegal Aliens can continue to come here Illegally, The Medicare Prescription Benefit program, and the list goes on and on.
The Republican Party has truly lost its way. President Bush was the final factor of swaying the party from the ideals of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan. Just as the Democrat Party of today has swayed from the ideals of Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and John Kennedy.
The Conservative base of the Republican Party is so angry right now which was proven in this past primary election. If the Republicans want to keep the House & Senate the only thing they can do is return to their conservative roots which would mean no longer following in lockstep with President Bush. President Bush is not a conservative. The Republicans only hope to retain their power is to introduce articles of Impeachment against President Bush for the treason that was committed against the Minutemen by tipping off the Mexican Government of their locations, Granting Social Security to Illegal Aliens, Granting citizenship to Illegal Aliens, the U.A.E. Ports Deal, etc.
I truly believe we are at a focal point in history where our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will talk about this for many years to come. From our Commonwealth to our Federal Government this election in November will be the point of no return for voters to peacefully reform our Government on all levels. If we give these people a mandate to continue to slowly oppress us then our younger generations will have to resort to bloodshed like The Founding Fathers did during the Revolutionary War. Thomas Jefferson stated once that bloodshed would have to occur every other generation to preserve freedom and to make sure people don’t take it lightly. I see this happening in our lifetimes where the States will take a stand just like they did over 200 years ago. If we fail to act and get involved in the voting process which is the God given right of every citizen of this country, then we will burden our children, and grandchildren with a far more painful future then any deficit, or National Debt could ever produce.

I was saddened when I found this out this morning. I went to see if there was new comments about the Immigration debate that Al Walentis posted a couple of days ago after President Bush’s address about the subject. When I clicked to see the new comments I got a message that the post was deleted. Now let’s be clear this was not a Republican vs. Democrat battle at all. As a matter of fact between Stefan Kosikowski, and myself we brought up a ton of valid points, and arguments in a very civil manner that sadly are not reported in the media, and busting these myths, and spin that comes from the politicians to justify keeping Illegal Aliens in this country.
One of those myths that we busted which got the debate removed was the myth that it would be impossible to deport mass amounts of Illegal Aliens. I made a comment regarding Operation Wetback which was a military operation enacted by President Eisenhower in 1954 to round up the Illegal Aliens and deport them. The operation proved to be a success. After that comment the Politically Correct crowd started crying foul, and playing the race card. One thing to keep in mind during Operation Wetback it involved the mass deportation of Mexicans, Canadians, and other races, and remember that Illegal Aliens HAVE NO RIGHTS, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL. While a majority of them were Mexicans that is because naturally the southern border has always been a hotspot for crossing the border into this country. So because the name of the mission which is in this case Operation Wetback offended some people regardless of its success to secure our borders, and control the flow of Illegal Aliens into this country The Reading Eagle ordered that the debate be removed.
If we allow this kind of thing to continue, the Cancer we call Political Correctness will be the ultimate destruction of this country. The Reading Eagle should not have to resort to these types of actions, but sadly The Reading Eagle has a political agenda as well. In a recent opinion piece The Reading Eagle endorsed amnesty for the Illegal Aliens, along with open borders. Al Walentis allowed comments by Stefan, and myself that were a threat to that agenda. This is the exact same thing they did to another Reading Eagle employee Michael Case when he was exposing the criminal elements of the City Of Reading to a point where it could hurt the reelection chances of Mayor Tom McMahon.
We have a free press in this country for a reason, and that is because of these types of things. The Reading Eagle is doing a great disservice to its readers, and its staff which in this case is Al Walentis, and Michael Case before that.
I therefore say we have a no holds barred debate in Illegal Aliens on this topic. All comments will be welcome. I also invite Stefan Kosikowski to chime in on this debate as well since he did an outstanding job talking about this topic on the Reading Eagle Blogs. I think it is time we play a little bit of Political Myth Busters, and start busting these myths about Illegal Immigration once and for all.
UPDATE
____________
As of 10:50 today about an hour after this post came online all of a sudden the comments section on the Reading Eagle Blogs has returned. This reminds me of another issue with Kurt Bellman who used to run the Elections office in Berks County and later got fired because two of the county commissioner were being party hacks. Bellman mentioned on election day Tuesday on the Eagle Blogs of how his successor could not even post the results page on the county election site. Within about 2 hours the election results section of the site came out of the blue. It’s always good to keep the pressure on them folks, and not let them get away with these kinds of things.
Interesting……..

We all experienced a moment on Tuesday that will be remembered in history, and I can say I’m proud that I saw it happen in my own lifetime. Whatever you want to talk about today is the day. Have A Nice Weekend.

Grassroots PA has just reported that Mike Folmer has defeated David Brightbill. We at Berks Right Hook look forward to supporting Mike Folmer to November.
I want to give a hat tip to all of the Conservative Base that came to the polls and cracked down on these people. You have just proven the Conservatives are the Republican Party. As I write this Bob Jubelirer has surrendered as well.
I will close with this, and all you other RINOs out there better get it.
DON’T FUCKING PISS OFF THE CONSERVATIVE BASE OR YOUR’RE GONE!
We now look forward to seeing a Pennsylvania we never thought would happen in our lifetime.
I also want to give a hat tip to the Democrats to standing on their ideals and standing up and doing the right thing.
Tonight is a night to be proud.
God Bless America, and God Bless The Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania.

Before I begin with the post allow me to apologize for the delay since I said this would be posted Friday, but I wanted to legally verify some more information, because this is hard hitting folks.
Now to be brief on who David Brightbill is. David Brightbill is the Senate Majority Leader for the Pennsylvania State Senate. He represents the 48th district. Once considered a strong conservative Republican has since sold out those values for a seat at the table of Governor Ed Rendell. Most of the incumbents in Pennsylvania are facing a tough reelection due to the famous middle of the night pay raise that they gave themselves. David Brightbill, Ed Rendell, Mike O’Pake, and State Supreme Court chief justice Ralph Cappy were 4 of the big key players of this pay raise.
Now for the present. David Brightbill is very desperate to hold onto his power, because he is loosing in the polls to challenger Mike Folmer. Brightbill is so desperate to the point where he is bringing in false charges of Folmer’s personal life from his marriage and ex-girlfriends such as Maggie Blom, to most recently having his people kill the family cat of Mike Folmer’s campaign manager where the Humane Society of Lebanon County is currently investigating. After doing some research on this matter, based on what I was told verbally, and by e-mail that David Brightbill has direct involvement with the slaughtering of the cat, and that Maggie Bloom is not telling the truth in her statements to the press, and was coached in her statements by David Brightbill’s staff.
This all started Thursday Evening when I received a post on my blog from Maggie Blom on the topic where I endorsed Mike Folmer a couple of months back. As you will see on her comment she is making that she is accusing Mike Folmer of destroying her life. After checking into the matter after Maggie stated that it was in public records Mike Folmer was never charged, nor convicted of anything. Maggie left her e-mail address with the post, so I decided to e-mail her to see if she was interested in a conversation to detail her side better. I got a reply later in the day that she would be more then happy to talk about it. She even left her phone number to call her Friday. To make sure that this was indeed Maggie Blom I decided to trace the IP address from her post on my site, and it did indeed confirm her location. After dialing the number I got an answer from some guy named Daryl. Daryl stated that he was one of Brightbill’s people that have been staying at Maggie’s house during this, and confessed that he was getting tired of Brightbill, and was scared. Daryl also informed me that the fact that Brightbill’s people slaughtered a cat to prove their point was way out of line, and that Brightbill himself is becoming obsessed with keeping his power. Daryl mentioned that the staff at Brightbill’s Lebanon office even kept a piece of the cat as a “keepsake”. The only thing I could tell Daryl was not to be afraid of these people, and to report this to the Lebanon Police, and to the humane society of Lebanon County. Daryl mentioned that he would consider it if the Police would grant protection for him, because he said, “Chip Brightbill is a dangerous man”.
About 2 hours after I hanged up with Daryl I received an e-mail from Maggie Blom stating that she was too busy, and was no longer interested in talking to me.
I have been involved in politics for a long time, and I have to tell you that I never seen a primary campaign get this nasty. Ex-girlfriends, slaughtered cats, and other vile character attacks will no doubt put this campaign in the record books. I sincerely hope Daryl reported this to the police, because I have not read anything recently, and he did sound sincere over the phone often sounding like he was going to cry at some points.
This site sill endorses Mike Folmer, and supports him 100%. I can also state that David Brightbill was not always like this. I used to support Brightbill in the past, and spoke to him in person a couple of times back in the mid 90’s when I was still in High School, and back then he was a class act all the way. If there is one thing that we should learn from this is that this is a prime example of why we not only need new people like Mike Folmer in power, but to also apply term limits. David Brightbill is the focal point of how political power can corrupt you over time to the point where you become the very thing you once campaigned to fight against.
In closing I want to say that it is important that you go out and vote on Tuesday due to this fact alone. Below you will see the screen shots of the e-mails from Maggie Blom that was sent to me, and I encourage you to read them.
The IP Address from her post was 70.22.120.71. You are all welcome to check it out, and I’m sure that is the same Address that was received by the Reading Eagle as well when she made the same post . Don’t let Brightbill get away with this folks. Now here are the screen shots I talked about.

Remember their gree can turn into true love. Stay tuned, because later tonight I got some interesting information on Daivd Brightbill that The Reading Eagle does not have. It will be hard hitting folks so stay tuned.

I was just reading this New York Times article where Arizona is forming posses to combat Illegal Aliens. Now I predicted on this site a while back that the states would get tired waiting for the Federal Government to do it’s job. It will now be a matter of time before you see other states follow Arizona’s idea. I’m sure it won’t be long until the Bush Administration leaks information on these posses. I will predict that sooner then later somebody will sadly get killed over this. I predict that we have only begun to see theses acts of treason by the Federal Government.

Now this is the straw that broke the camel’s back folks. The Republican Party, and President Bush have constantly turned their backs on thier base, and now I just read this article folks, and I’m very angry, sad, betrayed, and just shocked that this kind of thing is happening in America. The link to this article describes how President Bush, and the Federal Government ORDERED the border patrol to inform the Mexican Government of the locations of all Minutemen patrols along the southern border. This action can allow even more illegals to cross the border, and in the process endanger the lives of proud Americans that are performing their duty that the Federal Government fails to do. The Minutemen are doing their duty as requested by them by our Founding Fathers, and the Declaration of Independence.
President Bush has commited high treason, and should be impeached, and removed from office, along with any other officals that were involved in this.
I encourage you to call your Senators, and Congressman to demand they propose articles of impeachment. Tim Holden always claims to be for closed borders, and now with an election year nearing, this is his chance to prove it.
Here is the link.
http://www.dailybulletin.com/news/ci_3799653
Again political parties are not the issue here, because this is completly out of bounds.
We can only pray that none of the Minutemen loose their lives in vein over this.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
The Declaration of Independence

Recently on a topic that was posted by Al Walentis involving the Goggle Works mentioned that the complex is no longer having late night showings at their foreign film movie theater. I posted a well written remark about this, but typical Liberal Al rejected it, because like what the Reading Eagle did to Michael Case they do not want to make Mayor Inner Child McMahon look bad for his 2007 reelection bid.
This is yet another example of like the Lincoln Plaza Hotel, Antietam Lake, and now Goggle Works, and soon to be the movie theater, and apartment complex that government does not belong getting it’s hands in matters that belong to the private sector to decide weather there is a demand to build such things in Reading. The state should be putting our taxpayer dollars toward our transportation infrastructure, tackling property taxes, but instead they put this money in their own pockets, give it to pimps like Al Boscov to take credit for his ego, and have Alan Piper with the Berks Planning Commission to tell us to get used to congestion, because we don’t have money to fund our highways. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!
I will continue to beat this drum until the election, because we should not allow these people to get away with this nonsense.
Bottom line is Ed Rendell, Al Boscov, David Brightbill, Mike O’Pake, Al Walentis, Jim Keller, The teachers of Wilson School District/Teachers Unions, Dante “Ace Ventura look a like” Santoni, Mayor Inner Child McMahon, and Alan Piper are telling us the following.
Want Property tax reform? SCREW YOU!
Want better highways to prevent congestion in the future? SCREW YOU!
Want lower taxes, and reduced pork? SCREW YOU!
Want a more limited state government? SCREW YOU!
Want lower taxes across the board? SCREW YOU!
We the elite class of Pennsylvania, and Berks County, and the City of Reading declare that you citizens are too damn stupid to understand what is more important. We know what is best for you, and you can’t handle a booming economy, you can’t handle better roads, because it would mean less money in our pockets, but here is what we will do for you citizens to make you more intelligent.
We will give you the Goggle Works, high end apartments, and a movie theater that will become a crack house in 15 years, because it gives Al Boscov a big business advantage in Berks County, and fuels his ego.
We will give you crumbs in property tax relief, because the Teachers in the Wilson School District, and their unions deserve to be greedy bastards that don’t give a pile of dog shit about weather or not you get taxed out of your home.
We will give you the bumpiest, and congested roads in the country, because people like O’Pake, Brightbill, and Alan Piper need to pocket as much of your hard earned money as possible to live the high life.
We need to have the highest paid government in the country, because we need to help all of our personal friends, and businesses, and tax pimps like Al Boscov, because we hate capitalism.
Bottom line is here THIS IS WHAT THEY THINK OF YOU FOLKS!!!!!
Please don’t prove these guys to be right. Remember to vote.
