"THE TRUTH"

BY: FOREST LEWIS, Ph.D.

The late great singer, Marvin Gay once noted in one of his songs, "It Makes You Wanna Holla, And Throw Up Both My Hands".

Obviously, the singer was at his wits end over what was happening in his environment. He felt helpless; and did not see any redress for his situation.

Two great Americans are facing hard time behind prison walls. I don't know what it is about this country that lately, we seem to revel in hurting our patriots: the ones who have stepped up and said, "Here Am I, You Can Send Me".

When our patriots are in trouble, they are thrown to the wolves. The message that resonates over and over again, "Thanks For Your Service, But You Are No Longer Needed". Next, group of patriots? The wolves are sharpening their teeth.

Two ex-U.S. Border Patrol Agents have receive stiff jail sentences for get this, shooting a Mexican drug smuggler. It is alleged that Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean tried to cover up the shooting.

Ramos was handed an 11 year and one day jail sentence; while his co-defendant, Compean was told that he would be spending the next 12 years in the big house. What kind of justice is this? A cretin is shot while delivering death into our country. These two men should have been given medals, and the Mexican drug smuggler should be the one in jail. But, such is not the case. The heroes are villified; while the criminal is lionized.

Ramos and Compean will have to turn themselves into authorities on January 17th, 2007. Both men say they are innocent of the charges. Osvlado aldrete Davila was shot in the ass while trying to flee across the Rio Grande into Mexico. Minutes before the shooting, this career criminal had been confronted by the two patriots.

The agents said they shot in self defense. But, the same United States Government that these men once worked for, in essence called them liars, and had a Federal Grand Jury indict them on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, obstruction of justice, and believe it or not, "Civil Rights Violations". That one I just don't get, this drug runner is not an American citizen, but yet the crazy laws in this country say that he has "Civil Rights?" Give me a break.

In essense, Ramos and compean were convicted on the testimony of an "Illegal Alien". You just can't make this stuff up. I am proud that I served in the United States Marine Corps. However, in today's climate, with the cream puff men, and women who have supplanted the men in this country, sorry, but I would not work for this government.

President Bush can bring this craziness to a halt with the sweep of his pen. It is called "AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, GRANTING AMNESTY TO THESE TWO PATRIOTS".

Hell, Bill Clinton pardoned "Real Criminals".  Where was the furor?

Mr. Bush, "Do The Right Thing, And Pardon These True American Patriots".
