He really gave it to the Republican pundits. Probably he is hitting the nail on the head.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”
Alexis de Toqueville
When will some Conservative of his intellectual caliber run for President?
Levin is right. More moderate and liberal republicans lost then Tea Party members.
Is there an audio of Levin ripping Coulter?
Alas, he’s preaching to the choir.
My goodness, Levin is so far off the mark with this it's painful to listen to.
Encourage Cubans to come here, he says?
One problem - at least 60% of new Cuban immigrants are Black, the other 40% are unskilled, and both groups vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Encourage Indians to immigrate here, he says?
Educated Indians - think software engineers - are the most Hard Left immigrant group in America, and they vote.
Let me put this in perspective...
New immigrant citizens vote in low numbers, but they support Democrats 75%-80% of the time.
The GOP cannot cherry pick its way to political parity.
My solution?
Immigration based on pay.
Every immigrant must have a job before coming.
Minimum pay - say $175,000, indexed to inflation.
Everyone above that gets a visa, everyone below, apply next year, everyone who falls below after getting here, visa revoked.
After three years on the list, automatic citizenship, including wife and minor children, no others, no “legal residents” like parents, who are eligible for every form of welfare.
I'll guess 65% of that group will vote Democrat.
But they'll be serious wealth producers, future entrepreneurs, and I'll trade a couple hundred thousand Democrat votes for that.
Mark for later.
“Great Post ... Thanks”
Absolutely fantastic, dead-on, sermon from “The Great One.” Hannity and Limbaugh claim deference to Mark L. If they aren’t preaching from this same hymn book tomorrow they should retire.
100% correct, Mark.
I am done with Rush as well.
What’s he done to help this nation?
Since he started we have had more liberalism and less conservatism.
Turn off Fox News. Turn ON The Blaze TV. It is Glenn Beck’s network. It is now on Dish. It is going on U-Verse in December. Cable in February through the rest of 2013. Support FR, Beck, Levin, Savage, Drudge, and Brietbart.
Run from Coulter. Run from Hannity. Run from Rove. Run from Huckabee. Run from O’Reilly. Run from the pundits. RUN RUN RUN from Dick Morris.
Support the ones who are speaking up and angry and about to do something about it. Not sit with their smiles on their faces and quirky jokes.
Not a damn thing was funny about last night.
