So outsiders are coming into your state illegally and outsmarting and otherwise besting you and those who are like minded. I don't think they are outsmarting us, per-se. The monied folks (mostly by limosuine libs here in CA) who want these folks to clean their pools and mow their lawns and watch their kids for $1.50/hour, simply have more money to bribe the lawmakers. Oh, and they fund "you're a racist" muckrakers to scare the hell out of any politician who dare pass a common sense law too.
This isn't about who is smarter or besting anyone. Whoever bribes the most ... wins.
The US government is supposed to be about doing what's right, not selling legislation to the highest bidder. So if that's being bested, so be it. I'm not sure that I want to take part in the whoring of our state, local, and federal government.
Here's something to consider: the *losers* in a fight have to make more compromises than the winners.
And he who has the most money wins. Remember that next time you buy a movie ticket, a Barbara Streisand CD, or a product advertised on a major network.
So what in this fight are you willing to compromise.
In order to win this fight, I would have to comprimise my entire faith in the Local and Federal Government, and organize a corruption effort that exceeds the corruption effort that is underway on the opposite side. Basically, you are asking me to compromise my Patriotism, Morals, and relinquish all belief that the government will do what is right for the people.
Maybe at some point, I will do that. I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to, however.
If nothing, then expect to continue losing.
I will concede that I have not bribed a public official today. Maybe tomorrow.
I suppose I could also get my camcorder and tape an anti-illegal-immigration message. You think any major network would run it, or newspaper publish it?
I've been writing letters, and i've been voting. You know, the "traditional" vehicles for effecting change.
I will concede that this form of civic action is antiquated, and no longer efficient in what has changed from a democracy to a bribeocracy. I just don't have as much money as Steven Speilberg. I simply cannot afford his level of access.
If the best that you can do is simply to get mad, then you probably aren't going to achieve many victories in the future.
Well, i'm not into militia stuff, so what do you suggest?
Try to raise money to line someone's pockets? And who's pockets?
Last I check both Bush, Kerry, Shwartzenegger and Davis were pretty much pro-immigration. And if I vote for a 3rd party, I throw my vote away (at least that's why they tell me).
I'm open to ideas. Got any?
"I'm open to ideas. Got any?"
Yes. I'd suggest political jujitsu.
Give your superior opponents (remember, they are beating you so they must be superior in some manner or another) precisely what they ask for in those areas in which doing so won't give them what they *really* want. You know, on issues where they *say* they want one thing but in reality truly want something else.
...Like driver's licenses. Liberals in California aren't actually concerned about driver's licenses for illegals. Their *actual* desire is to grant every legal priviledge in existence to illegals, and driver's licenses would be a clever smoke screen towards that goal if only Conservatives played dumb and let the licenses be identical to those for *legal* residents.
Make those licenses *different* for illegals than for legal residents, however, and you've given your liberal opponents what they *said* that they wanted without giving them their real goal.
See Post #54 to see how conservatives in Tennessee did this precise thing.
Now, you good people out in California are at least as clever as those in Tennessee...so go practice some clever political jujitsu.
If you do this as well as Tennesseans did, then your state will begin compiling an actual database of *registered* illegal aliens...something that will burn your liberal opponents to the nth degree.
Give them their driver's licenses in a way that burns them.
