OK, if we hit 6,000 visitors by noon today there will be a keg party at my house! Just kidding, of course!

However, I did want to take a moment to thank all my readiers for helping make this one of the most successful active political blogs on Blogstream. You are what makes it happen.

I will set up a special offer for my book in the next article.

God Bless,
Mike-a.k.a. Mr. Right Opinion

appreciated by the trial of adversity."

So what is this guy’s deal, anyway? Could he possibly become any more of a spokesman for anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment? I will tell you, I have lived now through seven presidential administrations (having been born in 1969), and I have NEVER felt the anger and shame toward an American president that I now feel toward possibly the most failed president in our history. That, of course, would be one Jimmy Carter.

I thought I was angry and disappointed when I learned that Bill Clinton had been receiving sexual favors in the Oval Office from a young intern, and then lying about it under oath…and I was. However, that pales in comparison to what I would call the treasonous acts of our thirty-ninth president.

Imagine my dismay as I read about the peanut-farmer-turned-president going to the West Bank city of Ramallah yesterday and actually laying a wreath of roses on the tomb of Yasser Arafat. That’s right, the same terror leader who was responsible for the deaths of two American diplomats in the Sudan in 1973, and untold atrocities against our partner and ally in the region, Israel.

Although his trip is unsanctioned, and the State Department says he is doing all of this as a private American citizen, not as a former American President, the fact remains that he is in fact a former president. His acts show true thoughtlessness, at best, and true apostasy at worst, of his supposed loyalties to the United States of America and all she stands for.

Then, to top it all off, Carter has plans to meet with exiled Hammas leader Khaled Mashaal in Damascus on Friday. That is, if he doesn’t defect to Iran or something before then.

You know, after seeing his actions since leaving office in 1980, I am starting to think that maybe Carter didn’t have such a failed presidency after all. Maybe he had ulterior motives for our great nation all along!

Michael A. Minton is the author of the upcoming book, Mr. Right Opinion-Unplugged and Unashamed,” which will soon be available at: http://www.51756.authorworld.com/.

I know I’m a few days late in getting the jump on this story, but so much has been going on, and it’s just hard for one man, even one as good as me, to do it all! But, I try.

It seems that our “friends” at Absolut vodka have chosen to market to Mexicans in a very unique way. They have chosen to go for the heart of Mexicans. Am I talking about Mexico City, the capital? No. I am talking about Aztlan. Aztlan is the part of Mexico that was sold to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

It is also a subject which I cover in great detail in the second “chapter” of my upcoming book, “Mr. Right Opinion-Unplugged and Unashamed” (soon available at: http://www.51756.authorworld.com/). The United States of Aztlan, as I call it in my book, consists of the United States of America giving back to Mexico what they truly feel is theirs. That is more than one-third of the U.S.. States include: Arizona, New Mexico, California, Texas, Utah, Nevada and Colorado. That’s just working from memory, but you get the idea.

This is a total slap in the face of Americans by Absolut vodka, and it deserves an immediate boycott of the alcoholic beverage. If you must drink vodka, try SKYY Vodka. In an email from ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration PAC), they say of a SKYY vodka press release, “History was made when American-made SKYY vodka sent out a press release proudly supporting the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and criticizing Absolut for their offensive advertising in Mexico.”

A Newsmax article, “Absolute’s ‘Mexico U.S.’ Map Angers Many,” on April 14, 2008, quotes SKYY vodka spokesman Dave Karraker as saying, “Like SKYY vodka, the residents of states like California, Texas and Arizona are exceptionally proud of the fact that they are from the United States of America. To imply that they might be interested in changing their mailing address, as our competitor seems to be suggesting in their advertising, is a bit presumptuous.” Well said, David!

This United States of Aztlan is real, folks. It’s time to wake up to what’s going on around us. Yes, we need to be involved in our political process and learn what our candidates are all about. However, you are not going to get that in these loop replays of he said-she said stuff that the media feed you. You have to go out and do some digging for yourselves.

I know it’s not easy to find the time. Believe me, I am a single father of two girls, just finished writing a book, am a guest commentator on one blog, and have two blogs of my own that I’m trying to keep up. I know it’s hard to find the time, and even harder to find the energy, to investigate this stuff. But, that is why I am here. I feel it my job to do the homework. Then you have the obligation to “trust but verify.” At least with my writings, you have a starting point at which to begin the verification process.

As I write in my upcoming book, Aztlan is what Mexicans who feel they got the short end of the stick call the land that the United States legally purchased in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. And for the past thirty to forty years, there has been a movement afoot to flood the Southwest United States with both legal and illegal Mexicans. The idea is to gain more political, cultural, and social clout. The eventual goal here is to regain what are now rightfully states belonging to the United States of America.

Just look at these next couple of paragraphs taken from my book, “Mr. Right Opininion-Unplugged and Unashamed:” Charles Truxillo, professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of New Mexico, predicts that it is inevitable that this mythical Aztlan will be created, adding that the capital would most likely be Los Angeles. He further advocates that this should be accomplished, "by any means possible."

He does admit, however, that Mexico lacks the military capability to make this happen. So he surmises that Aztlan will be brought about by political pressure from what will inevitably be a majority of the Hispanic population if immigration is not brought under control.

Now, this next part should make any American mad enough to revolt. In an interview with the Albuquerque Tribune, Professor Truxillo, an instructor at an American institution of higher learning, funded by tax dollars collected from the sweat and hard work of American citizens, who are here LEGALLY, claims that it is his "task to help develop a 'cadre of intellectuals' to begin thinking about the practicalities of how the Republic of the North (a name he sees as befitting this new Aztlan) can become a reality."

So, it’s not enough that we have fifteen-twenty MILLION illegals to worry about here, now we have to deal with some Swedish vodka company running ads calling on Mexicans to basically continue the fight for this Aztlan? I say we ban Absolut from the American alcohol-consuming community. If they think it’s so great, why don’t they rent a few hundred-thousand airplanes and bring the illegals to Sweden. Heck, just get them drunk, they won’t care!
