Marco Rubio: Riding to the Immigration Rescue
WSJ ^ | Saturday Jaunary 12, 2013

Posted on 01/12/2013 10:21:38 AM PST by Bigtigermike

Marco Rubio, Florida's GOP senator, unveils his reform ideas to 'modernize' the system and put illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.

Marco Rubio—41-year-old son of working-class Cuban exiles—has lived the upwardly mobile immigrant experience. In his fast rise, the Florida Republican has also experienced the politics of immigration

"Here's how I envision it," he says. "They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check." Anyone who committed a serious crime would be deported. "They would be fingerprinted," he continues. "They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they've been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in this country."

It's ok. No worries. Just take a few deep breaths.

Besides. I've got a surprise for you. I have a new recipe for small horses. It's a smoked BBQ themed recipe. Here's your pony. ;)

You know something?

All my life I only wanted one thing. I worked, slaved and suffered so that in my old age, I could have the pony ma would never buy me as a child.

It was a lonely childhood. Just me and my picture of the pony I imagined I would some day have. I took it everywhere. To school, to campouts, and later, had it framed on my office wall.

Now, as I am getting old and already am feeble, I find myself at a point in my life where I can, at long last, have the pony I was selfishly denied. The dream of pony that brought happiness to a lonely child.

And you cooked it.

I will NEVER forgive you for cooking my pony....EVER!!!

But it does taste pretty good...I like that it has a subtle hint of jalapeno but it doesn’t completely overwhelm the natural Shetland gaminess.

White or red wine?

Side note...

Add to the list of phrases you never expected to see on a politically conservative website...

“I will NEVER forgive you for cooking my pony....EVER!!!”

It’s insightful dialog like that that truly separates us from liberals.

Always a red. I'd suggest a Cotes du Rhone. But there is a nice South African wine I like with game and strong meat dishes.

It's called Goats do Roam and it works well with horse.

They are dour and insipid creatures, devoid of humor, and allergic to laughter. The Love of God is not in their hearts, and they stew and forment.

Besides, they are jerks and can't do basic math or logistics.

That’s what makes conservatives inherently superior. There is always one of us with a quick and logical answer to any given issue, made without the application of emotional argument.

I doubt very much that at DU/Kos/Huffington, I could not get a recipe for pony, much less have it professionally prepared and with a recommendation for the proper wine.

You may have left me traumatized, shattered my boyhood dreams, and fed them to me, but I gotta respect your forthrightness.

You just don’t get that from liberals.

That's what NCOs do.

If we could just run all the liberals through basic training....

I dunno. If anything could break a drill Sarge, it would have to be a nonstop parade of hipsters, liberals and GOP supplicants. This would serve no good purpose.

Even broken and given discipline, they would still have the taint of liberal within them. And at the cost of a good military man. Nope. Not worth it.

Better to nuke them from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

I never received any zot or any kind of warning so I think the mods knew the difference between me and the obvious troll. After reading some of her/his posts..WOW..that kind of garbage belongs in the daily kooks for sure..I read during the 2008 election that leftist trolls were paid 10 bucks an hour to go on Conservative forums, pretend to be a Conservative, and trash them..sick stuff..I saw that sarahbarracuda a few times last year assumed she/he got banned hopefully this time it will be gone for good. No worries I totally understand if you ever see that loon post again let me know I dont want people to confuse me with that troll

Has anybody noticed that Ted Cruz has become the anti-Rubio?

The Constitution Party could fit the bill, but it has no visible support to do so.

Wasn’t Rubio backed by Jebbie, but was that before he challenged Crist or after Crist lost the primary?

And Jebbie is now the head of the foreign national lobby.
