This was picked up from Michelle Malkin:
The Messiah has yet to be sworn in and the Harry Reid has already started aiming in the Democrat skill crane on one of the big prizes in the Liberal Left Looney-Bin: Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are again visited by the “Bad Idea that Will Not Die”. If any of you believe that this attempt will be like the 2 of these that were tried in 2006 and 2007 respectively, then, boy and howdy, do I have news for you.!
I offer the the unqualified prediction that when this attempt succeeds, it will be even slimmer on enforcement provisions than those two were. It will include less guarantee of the enforcement provisions it does include. Those facets will guarantee a disaster of unparalleled proportions.
And, be assured that succeed it will, as it will be low-hanging fruit for President Obama and His Democrat colleagues. They desperately want a legislative success. They definitely want to cement their new found political dominance. They definitely want to prove to the American people (even all those newly minted legal aliens….) that they are doing –something– anything– to solve the Nation’s problems. Making this problem worse is just a technicality.
If there is any one single issue where Republicans MUST show solidarity in obstructing the Democrat agenda, it is this one. Allowing an Amnesty will not only destroy the Republican party it will destroy the Nation as we know it.
There are other ways to reach out to Hispanics than throwing weight behind terrible ideas that only serve the interests of the other party.
I invite and welcome comment on the matter.
The Road to Ruin
CJB68 Monday, January 12th at 7:42PM EST (link)What destroyed the Roman empire was a guarantee of citizenship towards any migrating barbarian (usually of the German tribes) passing through that if they just settled down and took up the job of watching the frontiers for Rome, things would be all right with them. What ended up happening gave us the modern Europe that most of our ancestors struggled so hard to free ourselves from (that Europe which gave us such states as… well, France and Spain). Alas, we couldn’t do away with the human nature which led to all of this (and all of this happening again).
Delusional and Arrogant. The 2008 Democratic Presidential Ticket.
AP reporting The One will issue executive order to close Gitmo possibly immediately on taking office.
Kenny Solomon Monday, January 12th at 8:39PM EST (link)Didn’t know where else to pop this and I wasn’t going to start a diary just for an AP report via The Los Angeles Times………………….
Obama preparing order to close Gitmo
————
I’m not gonna comment on this little gem or the ‘respectful/banned’ stuff will come into play here for me almost immediately.
I have a feeling that this won’t be the only executive order he’s going to issue either…… Get your pitchforks and torches ready, because you won’t have any guns to use.
Of course you can have my guns……. Bullets first.
I didn’t say rounds, shells or magazines……
I said bullets first.
Several items must be hung around the Democrats' necks.
spainishirish Tuesday, January 13th at 4:04AM EST (link)This is one of them. As mentioned by Kenny, so must the closing of Gitmo. I would add a third, and that would be the swindle known as the “economic stimulus plan.”
Those Republicans who asist the Dems with amnesty, additional degredation of our national security, and the spending orgy must be made known to the electorate as freaks and exceptions rather than the rules. This horrible legislation must bear a Democratic face. The road back to majority does not run through so-called “bipartisanship”: but through principled opposition.
