Te Senate Intelligence Committeespent roughly $50 million on its investiga-tion into the CIA and apparently couldntnd Michael Haydens phone number.
Te committee portrays Gen. Hayden,the ormer CIA director, as a liar whodeceived Congress about the agencys in-terrogation program, yet the committeecouldnt be bothered to interview him.
Tats because the committee, led byCali ornia Democrat Dianne Feinstein,didnt bother to interview anyone. Tecommittee didnt want to include any-thing that might signicantly complicateits cartoonish depiction o a CIA that mis-led everyone so it could maintain a secretprison system or the hell o it.
Te Feinstein report scores somepoints. It makes plain that the CIA pro-gram wasnt adequately controlled, espe-cially at the beginning, that it went too ar,and that the agency became too investedin de ending it.
But the thrust o the report is devotedto the proposition that torture, or harshinterrogation, never works. Tis is impor-tant to critics o the CIA program becausethey are almost never willing to say thattorture is wrong and that we should never
do it -- even i it sometimes works and po-tentially saves lives. Tey lack the moralconviction to make their case solely onprinciple.
Even though its executive summaryruns more than 500 pages, the reportlacks basic context, specically an ac-count o the post-Sept. 11 environment inwhich nearly everyone expected anotherattack and wanted to do everything pos-sible to avoid it. Tis is why the likes othe impeccably liberal Jay Rocke eller, vice chairman o the Senate IntelligenceCommittee, could say afer we capturedKhalid Sheikh Mohammed in 2003 thatwe should be very, very tough with him.
Te harsh methods that the CIA ad-
opted dont, in isolation, shock the con-science. Teres nothing, or instance,
about throwing someone up against aexible wall, grabbing and shaking him,keeping him in a tight space or slappinghim that is clearly out o bounds.
It is cumulatively, over an extended pe-riod -- as with Abu Zubaydah -- that themethods take on a different complexion.Reasonable people can disagree aboutwhether we went over the line o what weshould do to anyone in any circumstance.But in making a totalist case against theCIA program, the Feinstein report im-plausibly asserts that it had no benetswhatsoever.
It points out, as though it settles some-thing, that terrorists lied when they weresubjected to coercive interrogations. Ocourse, terrorists also lied when theywerent subjected to coercive interroga-tions. Te standard shouldnt be i the CIAprogram produced 100 percent truth ul-ness, but whether it produced intelligencethat otherwise wouldnt have been avail-able as quickly or at all.
Te overall contention o the report isthat we would have achieved the same re-sults in the war on terror with less in or-mation, rather than more. Not only doesthat de y common sense, it is a bet no onewould have been willing to make in 2002.
Nor would anyone have guessed 10years ago that it would be consideredmore in keeping with American valuesto assassinate people rom drones ratherthan capture them and ask them ques-tions under duress.

George Rodriguez is a San Antonio resident and isExecutive Director of the South Texas Political Al-liance.
GeorgeRodriguez
How ofen do we repeat thephrase Vote the bums out! and then turn right around andelect the same bums to office?
Its one o the oddities o Amer-
ican politics: the publics approvalrating o Congress hovers near10 percent yet 95 percent othe time, incumbents seeking re-election win easily.
Its particularly rustrating or voters such as we grassroots/
ea Party types: well nd a solidconservative candidate, someonewho embraces scal conserva-tism, social responsibility and hasa solid grasp on how the Consti-tution is designed to LIMI gov-ernment, not establish it.
And no matter how enthusi-astically we embrace that candi-date, he or she gets drummed.We wind up having to cast a votein the general election which iseffectively voting or the lesser otwo evils.
It boils down to, more ofenthan not, a matter o money. In-cumbents have it, challengers donot.
Tats something one politicalconsultant is hoping to change.
So at this point its very obvi-
ous to everyone that the holdyour nose and vote or themanyway and then hold their eetto the re approach is an ut-ter ailure, says Brett Rogers oDickinson. Te only solution isto replace them. Tats it. Tatsall you have.
Rogers was one o the advisorsto the U.S. Senate primary cam-paign o Dwayne Stovall last year,and also aided in the Congressio-
nal campaign o Larry Smith.He says the problem is thatmany grassroots-candidate sup-porters dont take into account isthat modern campaigns involve awhole lot more than just speakingto the Rotary Club and knockingon a ew doors. Tose $10 and$20 contributions you make arewelcome, but its almost insigni-
cant compared to the amount ocash an incumbent can raise.
All too ofen, he says, peoplelooking or a re orm candidateto unseat an incumbent dont get
involved in the race until its al-most over and thats what hasto change.
Find and und the right chal-lenger starting right now sothat you can have the representa-tion you need, he says. I you re-move yoursel rom the process onding and unding a challengerbecause youre concerned thatyou might get burned in choos-ing a replacement, then youvealready chosen or the incumbentto be re-elected.
What Rogers has proposed isthat individuals commit to set-ting aside $25 a month or use insupporting a grass-roots re ormcandidate even be ore any can-didates have been announced.
We pay money every monthor rivolous things Netix,
lotto tickets, Starbucks ... so askyoursel : whats reedom worth?Rogers asks. Candidates needenough money to market them-selves and convince a majority o voters that they will listen to US,
and not to special interests, whenin office.
What i you start saving mon-ey and set aside $25 monthly sothat you can give to the right
grassroots candidate later? heasks. I you do youll save yourown money until youre ready tohelp the right candidate win elec-tions.
It doesnt sound like a wholelot o money or an individual,but the math adds up real quick.An individual can raise $300 todonate to the campaign o a solidchallenger. I just 350 people savethat in one year, they can raise$105,000 and that can give agrassroots candidate in a con-gressional district or state districta ghting chance.
Dave Brat (in Virginia) beatEric Cantor, and he did it with just $100,000, Rogers notes. Wemust boost our candidates to alevel that voters take their candi-dacy seriously.
As someone who recently rana district-wide campaign or theState Board o Education on atotal o about $5,000, I can tellyou rom rst-hand experiencethe need or the cash. odays
news media does not carry outits responsibility to in orm thepublic, especially in down-ballotstatewide races like the SBOEand judgeships. Advertising is
the only way to reach voters, andi you aint got the cash, you cantadvertise.
Believe me, the establishmentlooks down on you when yourenot a moneyed candidate.
Everyone measures the credi-bility o a campaign by the moneyit raises, Rogers says. It doesnthave to compete dollar or dol-lar, but enough has to be raised toreach and earn the trust o a win-ning majority.
Many conservatives eel be-trayed by the actions o incum-bents such as Sen. John Cornyn.Rogers says i we want a change,we cant wait until the next elec-tion day to get active.
For everyone who got on thebus that ran us over, its OUR JOBto nd the challengers and undthem to replace the jerks who didthis to us, he says. You cannotthrow the bums out unless youget behind and wholeheartedlysupport better candidates in theprimary.
A week ago, as the Senate prepared toleave or their weekend, exas Senator
ed Cruz along with Senator Mike Lee(R-U ) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL) cre-ated an uproar with their parliamenterymanuevering. Many GOP senators wereangered and joined Democrats in vili y-ing Cruz. So what really?
Te acts are these. Democrat Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV) worked hard toprevent a vote on President Obamas il-legal executive amnesty. He was tryingto protect President Obamas executiveamnesty or roughly ve million peoplehere illegally, ignoring overwhelminglywill o voters in November. Tis amnestywas done by executive at, directly con-trary to ederal immigration law and tothe Constitution. Te law prohibits is-suing work authorizations to those hereillegally, and the Constitution prohibitsthe president rom ignoring ederal lawspassed by Congress.
No president can de y ederal law orthe Constitution. In exas sport terms,all teams must go 10 yards or a rstdown, and not choose to go only 5 yardsbecause they want to. You cant changerules or laws arbitrarily. Congress had
to respond to this constitutional crisis.Te showdown came when the House
passed the so-called CRomnibus bill,unding the ederal government to the
tune o $1.1 trillion. Te Senate quicklytook it up, but Cruz and his allies want-ed a simple up or down vote on de und-ing executive amnesty to publicly showthe will o the people and the deanceo the President.
Republican leadership said therewould be a likely vote, but Reid ap-parently changed his mind to protectObama. Cruz and allies used the Senaterules to try to orce the vote, but Reid
orced the Senate to come back Satur-day to move orward a series o Obamanominations.
Some critics have accused Cruz o a-cilitating these Obama nominations byghting amnesty, but its highly likelyReid would have done the exact samething on Monday and uesday, with the very same result.
According to sources in D.C., Reid ac-cepted Cruz offer to take up the CRom-nibus along with a vote on amnestyearly on Saturday, but the other Sen-ate Democrats vetoed his agreement.Finally, late Saturday night, Cruz andhis allies orced a vote on the constitu-tionality o executive amnesty. Had theywaited until Monday, Reid could haveheld the oor and blocked the vote, andthe American people would not knowwho stood where on Obamas unconsti-tutional actions.
As a result, every single Senate Dem-ocrat is now on the record in supporto President Obamas illegal amnesty,and the voters can see it. Also, 22 o 45
Republicans voted in support o Cruzconstitutional point o order but un-ortunately 23 GOP senators will need
to explain their vote to the olks backhome, including Senator Cornyn o
exas.Americans voters representatives
in D.C. must de end the documentthat keeps us reethe Constitution.Obamas amnesty was illegal and ourrepresentatives must not be silent. o-day Obama ignores this law, tomorrowit is another law. Rather than attackingSenator Cruz, we should honor him asan American hero or doing his part tosave our republic.

Tis is the time of the year when manypeople are hit with scammers. Be particu-larly careful with any request for paymentfor any purpose other than routine pay-ments that you regularly make.
Te IRS, Social Security, banks, lendinginstitutions and other reputable rms deal-ing with nances do not call wanting mon-ey, particularly money in the fashion ofcredit card draws, or pre-paid debit cardssent to some distant address.
Te Gonzales County Sheriffs Officewould like to wish everyone a very MerryChristmas and a safe and productive newyear.
Te local scam appears to be a variantof one which appeared nationally in April,prompting a warning from the IRS.
Te IRS will always send taxpayers awritten notication of any tax due via theU.S. mail, the agency noted in a news re-lease in conjunction with the April 15 lingdate earlier this year. Te IRS never asks forcredit card, debit card or prepaid card in-formation over the telephone.
For more information or to report ascam, go to www.irs.gov and type scamin the search box.
Te IRS notes that recent immigrantsand illegal immigrants are frequently tar-geted. Potential victims are threatenedwith deportation, arrest, having their utili-ties shut off, or having their drivers licens-es revoked. Callers are frequently insultingor hostile, apparently to scare their poten-tial victims.
Potential victims may be told they areentitled to big refunds, or that they owemoney that must be paid immediately tothe IRS. When unsuccessful the rst time,sometimes phone scammers call back try-ing a new strategy.
Other characteristics of this scam in-clude:
Scammers use fake names and IRS
badge numbers. Tey generally use com-mon names and surnames to identifythemselves.
Scammers may be able to recite thelast four digits of a victims Social Securitynumber.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free num -ber on caller ID to make it appear that itsthe IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRSemails to some victims to support their bo-gus calls.

Dear Editor,We are all, sons and daughters, brothers
and sisters of the One.Not one of us, Human Beings, is any bet-
ter, nor special, nor smarter than the other.Te color of our outer skin makes no
difference.Whether we like it or not, we are all sons
and daughters, brothers and sisters, while
in the physical on this intolerant and hate-lled planet. We are all the color red in-side.
When a human being bleeds, eitherfrom a war, or senseless street violence, redblood covers Mother Earth.
Human beings have a very nasty habit ofLABELING another fellow human being,
which essentially leads to forgetting thatwe are all, sons and daughters, brothersand sisters.
LOVE, is the only thing that KILLS anangry man.
Te current dysfunctional mentalitystate of mankinds way of thinking is jeop-ardizing all human life on earth.
All Human Beings are in the same boat,
and all together, were sinking and sinkingfast.Hell awaits all mankind, unless we
drastically change our destructive way ofthinking.
Rick Sulik Gonzales

In our last article we em-phasized the ull Deity oChrist. By that, we meantthat the same person thatwas born in Bethlehem twothousand years ago as Jesuso Nazareth existed be oreHis human birth. From alleternity He was and is theinnite, eternal, and un-changeable God. As oneo the early church creedsput it, He is very God o very God. Tis time wewill show that Jesus is also
ully man. Te eternal Sono God became man. Tismay stretch our nite hu-man intellect. We maysearch or words in how toexplain such a mystery, yetwe dare not deny it, as it isthe very plain teaching oHoly Scripture. Te best andsa est thing or me to do is toprimarily let the Scripturespeak or itsel . We read the
ollowing statement regard-ing His taking on humanity,Who, being in the orm o
God, did not consider it rob-bery to be equal with God,but made Himsel o no rep-utation, taking the orm oa bondservant, and comingin the likeness o men. Andbeing ound in appearanceas a man, He humbled Him-sel and became obedient to
the point o death, even thedeath o the cross. (Philip-pians 2:6-8)
Notice also that this sec-tion o Scripture is quick topoint to His death on thecross. Because man hadsinned, man must pay andmake satis action to God
or his sin. Yet no mereman could success ully bearsin and reconcile sinners toGod. What nite man couldnever do, the God/Man hasdone. He became man tosuffer and die in the placeo sinners. Christ is twonatures in one person: He isat once both ully God and
ully human. Many otherBiblical texts point to thehumanity o our Lord. Tegospel o John begins withthe wonder ul truth o thepre-existence o Christ. Inthe beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. Hewas in the beginning withGod. (John 1:1-2) Furtherinto the chapter we havethe very clear statement re-
garding the humanity o theWord, And the Word be-came esh and dwelt amongus. (John 1:14) Perhaps nostatement is stronger thanHebrews 2:17, Tere ore,in all things He had to bemade like His brethren, thatHe might be a merci ul and
aith ul High Priest in thingspertaining to God, to makepropitiation or the sins othe people.
As a human Jesus wasborn in the same way that allhumans are born. He grewand learned in childhood just as other children. Andthe child grew and becamestrong, lled with wisdom;and the avor o God was
upon Him. (Luke 2:40) Je-sus became tired just as wedo. Jesus there ore, beingwearied rom His journey,sat thus by the well. (John4:6) He became thirstywhen upon the cross. Ithirst. (John 19:28) We alsoread o Jesus being hungry.(Matthew 4:2) When Jesusdied upon the cross it was a very real death. His humanbody ceased to unction andhave li e in it, just as ours willwhen we die. When Jesuswas raised rom the deadhe was raised to a physicalbody. o be sure it was abody now made per ect and
ree rom all weakness, dis-ease, or death. Yet it was and
is at present a real body. A -ter His resurrection He said,See My hands and eet, thatit is I Mysel , handle Me, andsee; or a spirit has not eshand bones as you see that Ihave. (Luke 24:39) Havingtaken on humanity uponcoming to this earth, so Hecontinues as both God andMan.
It is ofen rightly pointedout that Jesus was withoutsin. Certainly, this is glori-ously true. He could notsave us rom sin i He werea mere sinner as we are.However, His being withoutsin in no way means thatHe does not have a humannature. Sin does not have
to exist in order or human-ity to be present. Christ didnot take on allen human na-ture, as some have wronglystated. Our glorious Saviortook on human nature as itwas meant to be. It is notdifficult to see that Adamwas ully human be ore Hetransgressed. Interestingly,Adam is called the rst man,and Christ is called the sec-ond man. See (I Corinthi-ans 15:46-47) Christ cameas sinless per ect man. Asyou celebrate this Christ-mas make sure you thinkBiblically about the Savior.He is both God and Man.Worship Him in all o Hisglory.

Privacy, atmosphere make The Heights invitingLiterature suggests that resident/
patient satisfaction with care isclosely linked to evironmental is-sues. For most people, a privateroom provides a place away from
others and the ability to deco-rate and furnish the enviromentwith personal items. Interestingresearch shows a link between re-covery from illness with sunlight.In some studies, patients who had views of sun-bathed areas recov-ered at a 70% faster than those whohad views of walls or covered ar-eas. Te Heights of Gonzales offers68 total small private rooms withattached full baths and window views.
We also have four large suiteswhich consist of 2 bedrooms, a
large bath, and a living room. Allbathrooms are large, giving amplespace for wheelchair bound resi-dents to maneuver on their own.Large, open living areas look out
onto the land around Te Heightswith views of trees, open land, andgreenery.
We also have a CommunityRoom available for reservation. Wehost regular meetings for Rotaryand bridge clubs and would love toopen our doors to more.
