COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Vile Kyl

What a smug smooth talking snake in the grass you have there in Arizona. I advise anyone from Arizona to listen to c-span and hear this slick arrogant tongue twisting high wire trapeze artist. Can you vote on a recall of a US Senator? Every Republican defending this bill starts talking about the need for change because the existing laws are not being enforced. How stupid do they think we are? Who has the responsibility to enforce existing US laws?

Senator Kyl’s Stockholm Syndrome

by Rep. Tom Tancredo
Posted: 06/04/2007
U.S. Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona has outraged many Republicans by joining with Ted Kennedy in sponsoring and leading the fight for the new Senate amnesty bill. He has joined John McCain as the two most unpopular elected officials among rank and file Republicans in Arizona.

Kyl has thus joined President Bush and Karl Rove in thinking that “statesmanship” means abandoning your party’s core principles in order to appease the National Council of La Raza. It is significant that neither Kyl nor Bush need face voters again.

Were the bill’s proponents “rising above politics” when they tried to ram the package through the Senate without hearings or adequate debate? Are they being “statesmen” when they attempt to deny the bill offers an instant amnesty to 12-20 million illegal aliens? Is it “rising above politics” to accept “triggers” for border security and “certification” by the Secretary for Homeland Security instead of genuine border control demonstrated by actually halting the flow of trespassers? If Kyl truly believes that the triggers and the certification will be effective, why does the bill grant de facto amnesty through the “probationary z visa benefits” immediately -- before the triggers come into play? This feature alone reveals the “grand compromise” to be a sham and a fraud.

In speaking to the House Republican Conference on May 22, Senator Kyl had few answers to the specific objections made to the Senate bill by House Republicans. His defense was essentially trust me: this is the best deal we can get and we have to take it because we have no alternative.


Thus the defense of the Senate bill among hard-nosed political pragmatists in Washington comes down not to the merits of the proposal as a solution to our broken borders, but to pure politics: It’s good for all of us politicians to have this issue behind us. This is “bipartisanship,” Washington style. Shut up and drink the Kool-Aid.

In truth, Kyl is simply a victim of the Stockholm Syndrome: He adopted the thinking of his Senate captors. By saying that a bad bill is better than no bill at all, he shows the effects of political water-boarding. Too many weeks of closed door sessions with Ted Kennedy and George Bush can do that to you.


Kyl has bought into the Washington mantra that we must to “get it off the plate by 2008.” Why does the Washington establishment fear having border security and immigration control debated in the 2008 national election? What is wrong with holding public officials accountable for their votes?

Republican Senators backing the amnesty bill have been suckered into the most disastrous “bargain” of the era. If passed in anything resembling its current form, the Republican Party can kiss the White House and control of Congress goodbye for the next 50 years. Thanks a bunch, Karl Rove.

For five years Karl Rove and other White House minions have lectured conservatives that amnesty is smart politics because it will win support among the growing number of Hispanic voters. This is total nonsense. The 2007 amnesty will be even more disastrous for the nation as the 1986 amnesty, and this time there are no excuses. But if it is bad policy, why is it “statesmanlike” to vote for it because it is “good politics”?

The stupidity of what passes for “strategic thinking” about the Hispanic vote is darkly amusing. None of these self-styled strategists has done any heavy lifting in actually analyzing the patterns of Hispanic voting. They seem to be willfully ignorant of the underlying realities and historical patterns of voting by newly arrived immigrants.
Professor James Gimpel of the University of Maryland has shown why the millions of low-wage, low-income illegal aliens soon to be put on a “path to citizenship” by the Senate bill will vote overwhelmingly Democratic for two generations. Democrats seem to understand this instinctively, while Republican leaders whistle past the graveyard.

Unfortunately, the Senate amnesty bill is neither good policy nor smart politics, and history will not judge Senator Kyl’s “grand compromise” kindly. The Kennedy-Kyl bill will replace the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli deal as the most cynical bait-and-switch con job ever sold to the American people.

All this does not make Jon Kyl an evil man. After all, General Benedict Arnold was not an evil man. The pundits of his time all believed the British would win the war.

  2. A comprehensive immigration reform bill in the U.S. Congress has sparked 108 amendments with a variety of outcomes that could dramatically affect the fate of at least 12 million undocumented workers in the United States.

    ...

    Menendez-Hagel amendment

    As it stands, the compromise would clear the backlog under the existing family and employer-based system, but only for those who submitted their applications before May 1, 2005.

    "As a result, an estimated 833,000 people who have played by the rules and applied after that date will not be cleared as part of the family backlog and will lose their chance to immigrate under current rules," Mefford said.

    The Menendez-Hagel amendment would extend the application cutoff date to Jan. 1, 2007 - the same cutoff date set to legalize undocumented immigrants.

    ...

    Clinton-Hagel amendment

    Current immigration law limits the number of green cards available to spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents to 87,900 per year. For these spouses and minor children, quota backlogs are approximately four years and nine months long.

    Critics say thousands of legal immigrant families have been devastated by "inequitable" policies that affect minor children and spouses dependent on the status of their U.S. sponsor.

    The Clinton-Hagel amendment would re-categorize these spouses and children as "immediate relatives," thereby lifting the cap on the number of visas available to close family members and allowing permanent U.S. residents to reunite with their loved ones in a timely fashion.

    Dodd-Hatch amendment

    The bill would set an annual cap for green cards for parents of U.S. citizens at 40,000 (less than half the current annual average number of green cards issued to these parents). It also would create a new parent visitor visa program that only allows parents to visit for 100 days per year and collective penalties that critics say are harsh.

    The Dodd-Hatch amendment would increase the annual cap of green cards to 90,000, extend the duration of the parent visitor visa to 365 days to help families remain together for a longer period; and make penalties levied on individuals who overstay their S-visa applicable to that individual and not collectively applied to their fellow citizens.

  34. STITOV, Czech Republic - Big politics rarely play out in little places like Stitov. That is no solace to Vaclav Hudec, whose tiny village is caught in the middle of an international debate over U.S. plans to build a missile defense system here and in neighboring Poland.

    Hudec, the mayor, and most of the residents of Stitov - population 58 - are bitterly opposed to the idea of hosting a U.S. radar base at the Brdy military zone next door.

    So is Russia, and President Bush will wade into the fray when he visits Prague this week.

    Recent polls suggest more than 60 percent of Czechs oppose the missile defense plan, which the United States says would help shield it and Europe if Iran unleashed a rocket attack. Opponents fear it could touch off a new arms race with Russia and make the Czech Republic a target for terrorists.

  35. WASHINGTON - Newt Gingrich described the Bush administration as dysfunctional and its unpopularity as hazardous to those in the Republican Party.

    "The government is not functioning. It’s not getting the job done," said the former House speaker, who is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination. "Republicans need to confront this reality."

    Gingrich said in a broadcast interview he believes Bush "means very, very well" but falls short when it comes to putting his goals in place and running the government.

    "All you have to do is look at the examples I’ve given you today where the government simply fails," said Gingrich, citing the administration’s handling of the war in Iraq, its immigration policies and response to Hurricane Katrina.

    "We have to have very relentless, dramatic change in American government," he said.

    Gingrich added, "The key question is: Is somebody prepared to stand up and say that the American people deserve fundamental change in Washington?"

  40. I understand this fellow is a General, but he contradicts almost all of us, at least once a piece.

    "There are some signs that our new strategy is working," Brig. Gen. Anderson said in a teleconference from Baghdad. "It's going to be a long, hot summer, and it won't be really until the end of it that we'll be able to evaluate it. There is plenty of opportunity, and plenty of reason to be cautiously optimistic about what's going on over there."

    The 10 myths, as outlined by Brig. Gen. Anderson, are:

    • The war in Iraq is about oil;

    • The U.S. is fighting alone in Iraq;

    • Iraq is engulfed in a full-scale civil war;

    • The Iraqis were better off under Saddam Hussein than under the new government;

    • The Iraqi government is ineffective;

    • Economic development is non-existent in Iraq;

    • Contractors cost the U.S. government too much money;

    • U.S. troops aren't properly equipped;

    • Morale is low among U.S. troops; and

    • The U.S. has lost in Iraq.

    None of these myths are true, Brig. Gen. Anderson said, and the situation in Iraq is much better than is often reported here.

    The war in Iraq is essentially a fight against religious extremists, Brig. Gen. Anderson said. And while oil is an important element in the situation, it is not the key element. "It is essentially about freedom and peace and democracy, in my opinion," he said.

    While violence levels in Iraq still are unacceptable, the situation is not a full-scale civil war, Brig. Gen. Anderson said. The fight involves religious extremists on the fringe and does not involve large-scale force-on-force combat, he pointed out.

    "Do they need to get better? Absolutely," he said. "But are there signs that they are getting better? Absolutely."

    ...
    ...
    ...
    ... Body armor is provided to every troop who deploys, and vehicle armor is constantly upgraded as technologies become available, he said. In addition, Iraqi troops are becoming increasingly well equipped. They have armored vehicles, mortars, helicopters and aircraft, and the government is spending $7 billion this year to improve their equipment, he said.

    Retention rates among deployed troops prove that morale is high, Brig. Gen. Anderson said. The troops know that many Americans don't support the war, but they continue to see the outpouring of support for those who fight, he said.

    "This new generation of kids is unbelievable, and I think they are representing Americans extremely well," he said. "They're disciplined and compassionate; they don't pull the trigger indiscriminately; and they go truly overboard to protect citizens and respect Islamic culture."

    "We understand that the military cannot win the war (on its own), but we're certainly not losing it," he said. "We can only help set the conditions for a political solution; we understand that.

  50. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Associated Press) -- A former Laotian military general and a former California National Guard officer were among nine people charged Monday with plotting a violent overthrow of Laos' communist government.

    The group was raising money to recruit a mercenary force and buy enough weapons to equip a small army that could pull off a coordinated set of attacks with anti-tank missiles, grenade launchers and C-4 explosives, prosecutors allege.

    "We're looking at conspiracy to murder thousands and thousands of people at one time," Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Twiss said in federal court.

    Thousands of co-conspirators remain at large, many in other countries, Twiss said. Prosecutors said they believe all the leaders of the plot are in custody.

    General Vang Pao, who immigrated to the U.S. in about 1975 and has been credited by thousands of Hmong refugees with helping them build new lives in the U.S., was accused of being the mastermind. He was charged with conspiracy to topple Laotian leaders.

    Also charged was former California National Guard Lt. Col. Harrison Ulrich Jack, who was accused of acting as an arms broker and organizer.

    Vang Pao had led CIA-backed Hmong forces in Laos in the 1960s and 1970s as a general in the Royal Army of Laos, while Jack is a 1968 West Point graduate who was involved in covert operations during the Vietnam War.

    That if no new legislation passes nothing can change.

    Total Bullshit, of course, cause things changed when Outlaw GWB took office and virtually declared open season on illegal immigration as compared to every other president in our lifetime.

    Things would change if laws in place were enforced at levels they used to be.
    Things would REALLY Change if they were enforced to the maximum extent possible both by the Whitehouse, and at State and Local levels.

    Given a nuclear attack proven to be from a border jumping illegal tomorrow, you can be damned sure even this bunch of lying, corrupt pigs would change!

    Furthermore, in typical Beltway Fashion, just as most of the Bastards in Congress and the Bastard in Chief in the Whitehouse want us to do, he forgets to mention that Duncan Hunter's NEW LAW passed last year called for 750 miles of fence.

    If we were properly serious about things, that fence could be effective damned soon.

    Interesting link to Buchanan. I always thouught there was very little up side to the NATO expansion east. The Russians have always been suspicious of foreign powers at their borders. We are not much different if you think back to both the Monroe Doctrine and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Buchanan misses what I believe is the real reason for the missile defense system in Europe and that is against a possible future nuclear missile attack from an Islamified Pakistan.
