Your making light of this subject is nothing more than a weak evasion of the facts. Limited government and greater personal responsibility are universal conservative principles.
If you choose to voice support for nanny statist legislation such as this, that's your choice, but by doing so you will fail to meet any accepted standard for Conservatism.
I just wrote Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell asking her how people like me can report themselves when they break her law on March 7th.
We cannot enforce our sedition laws...I would like to see the Democrats and their loyal George Bush enforce the socalled mail order bride law when hundreds of agencies break the law and brag about it.
The sad thing is...they do have us men in a strangle-hold via the consulates. An American male has ZERO right to have a girlfriend come visit from Russia. He has to pretend he wants to marry her and apply via a mammoth bureaucracy for a fiance visa for a 90 day visit (after which she has to leave his side and go home if they are not married yet). The new law just limited this to 3 times per lifetime.
That means, if you are in love with someone but aren't ready to marry...the Democrats just succeeded in getting Bush to sign a law that says you get 3 ninety day periods of happiness per lifetime!
This is enforced insanity. It doesn't quite reach the Nazi Race Laws that said a German man couldn't date a Russian or Polish woman...but it comes pretty damned close to it.
And then the hugest crime: American men marry foreign women from non-terrorist countries...and our feminist government decides to punish them by not letting the wife get a visa to live with her husband in the USA!
And we're supposed to defend our country as soldiers?
Do you guys know the types of questions the liberal jackasses in our consulates ASK Russian women? They go right into their sex lives and basically call them whores, no matter who they are. They turn all the best looking young women down automatically...expecting them to appeal and make a lot of noise via powerful people in order to reverse the sentence.
I have a 21 year old friend in Moscow who recently got a multinational company to appeal her rejection for an American visa (to visit New York for 2 weeks). She is still furious at the rude way she was treated by left wing American consular officials.
No, what I'm making light of is the attitude of some Freepers that if you don't agree with them on every issue, then you aren't a conservative. That's a ludicrous view, but one held by some Freepers none the less.

LOL No, what I'm supporting is protecting women from the creepy guys that need to get mail order brides.
