We have thousands of illegal aliens pouring into our country routinely, at will, as the President and his party stand in stone silence in the face of this ever escalating epic attack on our borders and our sovereignty.

But if a stupid celebrity says something bad about the President, or their party, the Republicans are outraged..

Joe, it's difficult to make much sense of what is going on in politics today...in both parties. We seem to live in an Upside Down World where HUGE issues like Mexico's Epic Invasion of OUR Country and the staggering damage it has caused receives little attention from the party types. Yet, as you so rightly pointed out, a few careless remarks about the president by some "very young" entertainers has nearly every rank and file republican in a rage, looking for revenge.

I was also surprised by the absence of party rage when Mexico voted against our actions in Iraq...like France did but somehow it was France that needed to be singled out for a public whipping. This was especially puzzling to me since it is NOT France that encourages its people to invade our country en masse. Nor is it France that is busy setting up Consular Offices throughout the U.S. for the expressed purpose of inserting itself DIRECTLY into America's INTERNAL AFFAIRS and Debasing Our Sovereignty.

Indeed, it's pathetic at say the least. If there is any sense at all to this bizarre behavior it is this: If the Subject Adversary is perceived to be Weak, then by all means--pile it on them. If the Adversary has our Government by the Balls...just look the other way…like our president does.

Mexico didn't take heat for opposing the Iraq war for three reasons. First and most important, Mexico wasn't running around the world in a very public campaign to stop the US as was France. Fox's opposition was rather muted to a few statements.

Second, France is considered to have an unpaid debt to the US for WWII (WWI balances the Revolution). Mexico does not (unless one wants to argue that we didn't annex Baja when we should have in the Mexican War *g*). Nor is there the rebuilding debt issue that comes up with Germany since we didn't occupy and rebuild Mexico after our victory (no need to do so). No GI's died liberating Mexico from a foreign conqueror as they did for France. Also, Mexico wasn't directly threatened by the Soviets so there's not a Cold War debt either. That makes a huge difference.

Finally, Mexico skates because, in the end, there wasn't a vote to make it's opposition crystal clear.
