My Opus

I've never posted anything like this, but....

Today's vote for cloture on Amnesty by 30 Republican Senators has convinced me that my conservative and constitutionalist politics are no longer compatible with the twisted and scheming machinations of the Republican Party.

This week I'll change my voter registration to Independent, until such time as a Conservative & Constitutionalist Party emerges from the ashes.

That's it for my opus. I'll of course stick around on FR, but as a committed conservative and not a Republican.

Interested to hear how others might be thinking right now.

Ping me when you find one.

If you out live me you can read mine.

It will be posted after I die.

Now, that's an opus!

Penang, Malaysia. Any comments?

I was there for only two days and I loved it. I had this crazy idea of trying to find a freighter that would take passengers to Madras India. That didn't work out (but I maintain it's possible if one is determined enough). I've been meaning to go back for a visit but it hasn't happened yet.

It's got an old colonial feel in many parts of the cities Butterworth and George Town, but Penang also is quite modern, not Singapore but close. Not that I like Singapore that much, it's too modern. Penang (like Kuala Lumpu) mixes old and new in a more saisfying way.

What I most remember is the food. Absolutely the best steet food anywhere in variety, taste, selection, prep, everything. Rivaling if not bettering Bankok and Saigon. Lots of cheap and very tasty noodle dishes, and the opportunity for numbingly hot/spicey Penang dishes. Excellent curries, lamb and goat dishes, roast pig, seafood. Yowza. That's the main reason I want to go back.

Go if you can!

Thanks for the information. It sounds interesting.

While these people are violating our immigration laws, they have been conditioned by our outright actions that those violations are minor infractions, much like a traffic ticket.

Consequently, new measures, without rigid enforcement first, will have the same impression when adopted.

Amongst this massive immigration there is certainly the criminal element and the mouch-proletariate contributing nothing but his progeny, but in the main these people are hardworking gamblers, hoping for a 1000% increase in what they make for their wages and confronted by an economic anvil in their corrupt homeland.

While the cost is idiotic for our nation to take on, I have now rated the branches of the US Government on the Federal and State level as the more criminal when rating the illegal immigrants against the members of both parties.

Thanks. That argument may keep the R on my voter reg

I do hope so. Voting against the RINOS by voting for a conservative is the only way we are ever going to get rid of the RINOS and restore sanity to the party by electing conservatives.

Jed Babbin lays down the gauntlet and issues a clarion call - “Kill (their immigration) Bill”:

“We are at an important moment in the history of our nation, one that will be analyzed for hundreds of years to come. It is a moment when conservatives can falter, worn out from the fight, or reach down into our collective character and find the strength to keep up the fight now and in months and years to come.” - Jed Babbin

I believe the real conservatives in this country are becoming more united than we have been in a long time, as we find ourselves all in this fight against the largest illegal immigrant amnesty ever.

We are now fighting on common and secure ground of rock-solid conservative principles:

* We are defending American sovereignty and our right to decide who crosses our borders
* We are fighting to defend law and order, both in the immigration laws itself and in general
* We are fighting to stop the pillaging of taxpayers, the expansion of our welfare state, the undermining of working Americans, and the degradation and corruption of our Government
* We are fighting to defend American heritage, culture, language and unity against the multi-culturalist ideologues and the enemies of American exceptionalism

The one thing we conservative need now is ... a victory. If it is at the hands of the grassroots,
even as a negative ‘victory’ that stops a bad idea for a season, how sweet that will be. For it will confirm another key conservative principle - the strength of a free nation is in its citizens, not its leaders. It’s up to us to make our own corrupted weak leaders do the right thing.

I’ve said it many times: there is NOTHING finer on the planet than a gentleman.

I married a cheater, a beater, and a couldn’t be sweeter. I’m a lucky lady!

[oldvike]

Hmmm, I'm not really sure what an attention whore is. Could you please post a few more examples...of course I only ask you to do this for my own research purposes.

Oh yeah, and I agree with the topic starter: Screw the Republicans. They've sold me down the river for the last time.
