How fascinating.

Actually it is. It's critical to the President's hopes for his guest worker amnesty that people don't think of it as an amnesty. The polls show that word is radioactive. So amnesty acquires ever shifting definitons and imaginary distinctions from previous amnesties. The President and his allies have gone to great pains over this wordplay. It's quite a marvel, not unlike the attempted redefinitions of "is" and "sex" of the previous millenium.

Clarity is necessary, if sometimes drudgery, no? LOL

I don't mind selling green cards. But my price is 500K minimum. What's yours? 6K? Give me a freaking break.

It's really pathetic when we see once-respected leaders trying to convince Charlie Brown that "regularization" is not "legalization," or that "guest worker" is not amnesty.

The intellectual dishonesty is very discouraging. They lie to us like we are six year olds who believe in Santa.

For one thing, I will never listen to Hugh Hewitt again. For a conservative intellectual who claimed to prize clarity and truth above all, it's just been so disappointing. What a let down, to see their intellectual crookedness and duplicity.
