You have exposed yourself to be the weak, dishonest neo-liberal fool that you have always been and we were too naive to notice. We are a naive people. No more.
You Mr. Bush are not fit to lead anything let alone a great country and a once great political party. If the Republican party stands for anything it better stand for the courage to do the right thing at a tough time. Republicans need to do what Democrats never could do and that is reject a president that is Republican in name only. We need to apologize to the American people for not having said so earlier but should say it now.

NOONAN: BUSH RIPS, SPLITS CONSERVATIVES...
ReplyDeleteToo Bad
President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.
:The president has taken to suggesting that opponents of his immigration bill are unpatriotic--
they "don't want to do what's right for America."
His ally Sen. Lindsey Graham has said, "We're gonna tell the bigots to shut up."
On Fox last weekend he vowed to "push back."
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff suggested opponents would prefer illegal immigrants be killed;
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said those who oppose the bill want "mass deportation."
Former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson said those who oppose the bill are "anti-immigrant" and suggested they suffer from "rage" and "national chauvinism."

ReplyDeleteI will say that it is very ugly and my sense is that the momentum is against this bill passing. Maybe Bush had a secret plan to kill the bill, such is his stealth genius.

For the first time in the American mainstream, immigration is being connected with culture
ReplyDeleteI doubt very much that Bill O'Reilly has ever read me. But a very surprising thing has happened in this debate. From the start of my concern about immigration in the early 1980s, my main focus was on the cultural/ethnic/racial dimension of it.
And of course the connection between immigration and culture/race has been a completely forbidden area in American mainstream conservatism for all these years.
But in this current fight over the Bush-Kennedy bill, I personally have not been generally thinking about the cultural side of the problem (except when talking about the ultimate anti-white motivations of the supporters of the bill as the explanation for their amazing, wall-to-wall use of the racism card).
Rather, I've been focused on the sheer horror of the bill itself, its lies, its lawlessness, its irresponsibility. I thought last year's S.2611 was the worst law proposed in U.S. history, but this years S.1348 is far worse.
Yet at the same time, even as I have barely been thinking about the cultural side of the issue, other people, who have never talked about the cultural aspect of immigration in their lives, are suddenly talking about it in relation to this bill.
After the bills's opponents were attacked by one of the bill's supporters for "secretly" being concerned about culture, people at National Review Online shot back that, yes indeed they ARE concerned about culture, and there's nothing secret about it!
So something is happening. Something is breaking open that has never been open before.
To paraphrase Churchill: This is not the end.
And it is not the beginning of the end.
And it is not even the end of the beginning.
But it is, perhaps, the beginning.

I wish I was a cartoonist. I would draw Bush in a suicide belt labeled Amnesty.
He would have a grin on his face and a trigger button in his hand in a crowd of recognizable Republicans looking freaked out, running away. The bubble would quote,
“I promised to leave you a legacy!”
Buck’s vision of Bush provides an interesting complement to Peggy Noonan’s explanation of his motives here.
They’re really saying the same thing in different ways: that Bush, like a suicide bomber, is achieving his ultimate self-realization by destroying himself and trying to destroy the country with him.
Another Commenter:
ReplyDelete---
So many unbelievable things have been said in the immigration debate in recent days ...
In Peggy Noonan’s column on what she describes as the final split between President Busheron and his base, she mentions again something he said in his immigration speech on Tuesday and I gasp in amazement that he said it.
He said that the people who oppose the immigration bill “don’t want to do what’s right for America.” Meaning, we opponents of S.1348 know that the bill is right for America, but we just don’t want to do it.… because we’re bad.
Has a president ever said this about the American people, let alone about the people who voted him into office? MORE…

"As shocking as Bush's demogaguery may be, there is no reason to be surprised at it.
As I have pointed out over and over, Bush's position on immigration has been consistent from the start.
In an August 2000 speech candidate Bush laid out his view of the matter with unmistakeable clarity:
that there are the good people, who "welcome" the transformation of America into a culturally Hispanic country, and there are the bad people, who "resent" it.
That which leads to the displacement of America's Anglo-European culture is good.
That which that stands in the way of such displacement is evil.
Open borders is good.
Opposition to open borders is evil.
Everything Bush has said on the immigration issue since that speech has been simply a repetition or elaboration of these basic leftist motifs. If the NRO-cons could understand this, they would see that
Bush is not just someone who has let them down or betrayed them; they would see that he is and always has been a committed enemy of this country as a distinctive historical entity. "
That's basicly what Buddy's position boiled down to, using more ambiguous phraseology.

ReplyDeleteDiscouraged workers, that's what those folks are called, doug.
ReplyDeleteClose the borders, then start workplace enforcement. Hold for a year in a tent city, while processing their return to Mexico, those illegal workers found. Soon many others will depart, going home or to Canada on their own, rather than risk a year in a tent, with bolonga sandwiches and no pay.
The problem would become managable. If the US were to find that additional workers ARE REQUIRED, well then we could increase the legal migrant flow, to supply those legal labor units.
But it should be phased in, based on security conditions on the ground, not based on some comprehensive timeline or schedule from DC.

'High tempo' of terrorist chatter: FBI
ReplyDeleteBY JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
Thursday, May 31st 2007, 4:00 AM
WASHINGTON - The FBI has increased its use of secret search warrants over the past two years because of a "high tempo of terrorist activity," a top official said yesterday.
FBI Assistant Director John Miller said the 2,176 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act search warrants approved last year, compared with only 1,754 granted in 2005, mostly targeted plotters inside America.
"We're seeing a very high tempo of terrorist activity, not just based on the cases you're seeing being brought in the United States," Miller said in an interview yesterday for C-SPAN's "Newsmaker" program.
Miller said the warrants, issued by a secret federal court in Washington, are usually not a "way to a prosecution," but are "an intelligence tool."

The National Guard unable to fire on illegal aliens aren't going to fire on their neighbors, and the cops don't prevent crime they show up after the crime and gather statistics.

I was at 'Albertson's' a grocery store in Lewiston, Idaho late last night, and there were two hispanics waxing the floors with the waxing machine. I am 99% percent certain that they were illegals. What am I to do about that? Albertson's is taking advantage of their labor, and they are taking advantage of our society. I wanted to walk up to them and say, 'where is your passport', but of course I didn't. What do I do? Call the state police? Call ICE? What?

ReplyDeleteMətušélaḥ,
ReplyDeleteCan the bill be recinded/recalled.
The Senate makes up it's pwn rules and I'm unfamiliar just where they are on this. I believe they are to a great degree using ad hoc methods to run things..
THE BEST hope we have right now appears to be to kill the bill in the House Of Representatives.
Representatives are much more vulnerable to district pressure.
I would do the following:
1. look up the last election and see by what margin your Rep won the seat by.
2. email (although it is gnerally known on the Hill that actual snail mail has a greater impact, a visual thing when your office is littered with 100,000 pieces of mail and everyone you pick up is radioactive with hostility)
3. put you thoughts in two short paragraphs..a: you don't support the bill b: you'll do everything you can legally to defeat your rep if he/she supports it.
4. if you have actually worked for the Rep,been a county pooh bah or otherwise have a relationship with the Rep remind them who you are and that you can affect fund raising and votes.
The Senate looks like they've driven in their heels even in the face of popular opposition, so I believe they are lost but a letter to each Senator is good too.
DO NOT toilet paper their homes!
Good luck

They were the ones who started this "family values south of the border" crap, and and every other reason that Hispanics are supposedly worthy of passing in front of everyone else in line.
Someone said it a while ago and I thought they were exaggerating, but I'm not so sure anymore. They like their idealized picture of illegal immigrants more than they like their fellow Americans. Illegitimacy rates, educational levels, crime rates - none of this mattesr. The magical illegal is just better than us.

ReplyDeleteRufus, I'd sure like to go to Australia sometime. I have always wanted to do that, but never been able to put it together. But I haven't given up on the idea yet. I think it is a great country, with a big future, having a lot of great people in it. Kind of started out as a prison camp for the English.
ReplyDeleteThey have beaches there that go on forever, and girls without burkas;)
Farmer AlBobAl just sees all that open space that needs plowin!
ReplyDeleteHave you read "Rascals in Paradise" by Michner, Al?
Not only that, Bob, but throw a couple of tons of char in the ground and a couple of inches of desalinated water over the top of it and you could feed the world a couple of times over.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they'll let us come over there when the Ice Pack comes our way, again.
'Rascals in Paradise'? Doesn't ring a bell. Which Michner?

ReplyDeleteSouth Sea Maidens: Western Fantasy and Sexual Politics in the South Pacific
From the first European contact with Tahiti in 1767, the myth of the South Sea maiden has endured through many incarnations. Although the maiden frequently provided an idealized antidote to Western women's self-assertion, the South Pacific also afforded a space where boundaries between the sexes could be relaxed and transgressed. From James Cook and Captain Bligh to James Michener and Margaret Mead, the "Island girl" has occupied a special place in the erotic imagination of the West. In a sweeping study that embraces history, literature, visual arts, anthropology and film, this study gives fresh insight into the myths and reality of a Western icon. While women from far off lands have always been presented as exotic and alluring, the South Sea maiden has come to symbolize feminine sexuality, as an integral part of the adventure, sensuality, and romance of the South Pacific.
I used to date The one on the Left.

ReplyDeleteRNC called tonight looking for donations. It wasn't pretty. The woman said that she'd heard the same thing from everyone i.e. Bush betrayed his base, amnesty bill sucked, spending like a drunken sailor. A lot of anger out there.
ReplyDeleteShe still asked me to stand with GOP and donate. I told her not a cent until the GOP decided to stand with me.
Great for you, lugh.

...congrats on tell'n it straight.
I called my congressmans office today. I know him personally , but he was in Europe.
The girl on the phone knew I had emailed my Rep and she said (which he had told me in a return email) that he was dead set against the bill and was doing everything he could to derail it in the House...she seem to think there was a good chance of it getting schuttle there.
I told her and him....you can't eat an entire meal in one bite..break this thing down and first secure the borders and round up as many as you can while you're building the wall.
Anyway great job
