As you can see by the time stamp above, WND published my interview with Stan Wald and Jerry Misner, makers of the new HD made-for-TV documentary Southern Exposure and the story’s available here: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=195565.

Your bleeding-heart conservative correspondent is most concerned with these disturbing aspects of the crisis:

“Southern Exposure” reveals desert trails polluted with garbage, women’s underwear hanging like trophies on “rape trees” and the corpses of would-be migrant workers – burned and dehydrated by the sun.

It seems advocates on all sides of the debate agree that the majority of illegal migrants desperately are seeking gainful employment to care for their families, but few mention that these same poor people are beholden to the drug cartels’ traffickers, also known as coyotes.

Wald and Misner explained the racket. The coyotes charge migrants up to $3,000 for entry into the U.S., but they offer to cut the extortion fees if the desperados will become drug mules. Then the cartels make millions more by selling the drugs to Americans.

Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, one of several civilian groups that monitor the border, warns that the Border Patrol staffing levels are far too low. He and others, including USBP agents, speak of guerrilla tactics used by the traffickers.

Some lead traffickers pay decoys to distract the Border Patrol agents while hordes of other traffickers invade the U.S.; some use children to cry for help and lure agents into the line of fire; traffickers also assassinate law enforcement officers and murder ranchers on their own land.

In “Southern Exposure,” Wald and Misner show the disturbing images of the severed heads of Mexicans, images that reveal the level of crisis that exists along the Mexican border.

Misner also said that these savage crimes likely are committed by Islamists.

“There is a belief by law enforcement and former border law enforcement that there’s a nexus of some kind between Palestinians and what’s happening on the border with the drugs and the illegals,” said Misner. “Law enforcement has been studying the situation for a long time and this brutality is not endemic to Mexican criminals.”

The DVD will be released September 15 and it will be for sale on Amazon.com

Yours truly reported from Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally on August 28. It was ENORMOUS – probably 500,000 people.

Al Sharpton had announced he would lead “progressive” protesters to the Lincoln Memorial and “reclaim the dream” of Martin Luther King. To the best of my knowledge, no one spotted him there.

After all, Alveda King, daughter of Rev. A.D. King and niece of  Rev. Martin Luther King, spoke at Beck’s rally. Click on the second or third link for her best line.

Anyway, here’s my eyewitness account to WND weekend editor Drew Zahn: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=196633

Pax Christi, the peace of Christ to you!

Liu Wei lost both his arms when he was 10 after he touched a high-voltage wire during a game of hide-and-seek.

But the 23-year-old stunned hundreds of thousands of people across China by delivering a mistake-free performance of famous French pianist Richard Clayderman’s Mariage D’amour using only his toes.

Although he was devastated by the loss of his arms as a young boy, Liu said he was happy and it was “destiny.”

“For people like me, there were only two options. One was to abandon all dreams, which would lead to a quick, hopeless death; the other was to struggle without arms to live an outstanding life,” he said.

What would you do if you realized that what you believe and what you practice don’t line up?

This was the question facing Ron Miller, author of the new book SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom’s Porch, once he left home and began to ponder the values with which he was raised and the political allegiances he inherited from his parents. Miller says, “Once I left my parents’ home, I concluded I couldn’t practice my faith and support liberal policies.

“That epiphany was the beginning of a journey that brought me personal peace but pitted me against the overwhelming majority of my own race,” says Miller. “When my mother asks me why I align myself with conservatives, my reply is, ‘Because you raised me that way.’”

“In SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom’s Porch, I take on the volatile mix of politics, race and faith, and I do so with complete openness and vulnerability, using my personal story as the jumping off point for a wide-ranging discussion on the role of the black church, the active practice of faith in the public square, the disintegration of the black family brought about by the rejection of God’s Word and the replacement of God with government,” explains Miller.

Regarding the disproportionate impact of abortion on the black community and the black church’s blind eye to the slaughter, Miller declares, “There will be an accounting one day, not just for the millions of babies murdered, but also for all the people led astray from obedience to God for political purposes.”

From beginning to end, the author’s faith is the catalyst for his personal transformation, struggles and eventual peace, and his public political activism. SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom’s Porch is a provocative and revealing portrait of a black conservative who ultimately sold out to Christ alone.

What Others Are Saying
“African Americans have been told for two generations that they are supposed to be liberal. Ron Miller’s journey serves as an affirmation that it is okay to be both black and conservative.” ~Niger Innis, national spokesperson, Congress On Racial Equality

“Ron offers a personal, poignant and spiritual account of a journey through the quagmire of race in America, a journey that leads to redemption for all. Challenging and conciliatory, Americans of all races will be stirred by this book.” ~Ken Blackwell, co-author of the No. 1 bestselling book The Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency

In many ways, Joyce Shaffer is the quintessential country singer.

She grew up as the ninth child of a dirt-poor sharecropper, then married young and raised her children amid tremendous hardship.

Nevertheless, Shaffer found joy in the beauty of the rugged Colorado landscape which has been her lifelong home.

During the 1980s, Shaffer enjoyed singing with a band. Now she’s beginning a new work: writing and performing her own songs but, instead of singing about her own heartaches, Shaffer is singing an anthem for American voters.

This August, the 61-year-old grandmother and rancher will perform in Washington, D.C., warning the establishment that tea partiers and other Americans, in fear of what Barack Obama will do, are “Takin’ Back Our Country.”

“Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to this country,” said Shaffer. “And I will say it openly because if I won’t say it openly, I can’t expect anyone else to say it.”

On Youtube, reactions to “Takin’ Back Our Country” range from “Great song Joyce! I was singing right along with you. United We Stand!” all the way down the scale to “Nice song, you stupid white trash retard. Your hatred is showing… please die in a hole, you old bag.”

No matter what people say, Shaffer is upbeat. She sings for everyone who “earned their wrinkles” and strives to raise a new generation that fights for our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
