What Bush fails to see at the border

What Bush fails to see at the border

By Ronald F. Maxwell

Published April 6, 2006

Dear President Bush, Perhaps you know me from my work. I wrote and directed the movies "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals." Walking Civil War battlefields, soaking up the letters and diaries of that generation, re-creating the world of our ancestors -- all this has given me a deep appreciation for our country. My dad was with the Army Air Corps in North Africa while your dad was in the Pacific. My French mother was liberated in Tunisia and became a lawful immigrant to the United States. For an American, my story is unique and typical at the same time.

You probably don't need to be reminded of the hostility and animus directed your way by most of the Hollywood community. Then again, I'm sure you don't take it personally. After all, they held Ronald Reagan in equal contempt. As one of the very few directors of major motion pictures who sees you in a different light, I implore you to listen seriously to what I have to say.

What is happening on the southern border is unprecedented. Not only in our own history, but in the history of the world. No country at any time anywhere has sustained the influx of tens of millions of foreigners across its borders. A wave of anti-American leftism is sweeping Latin America. A socialist radical may soon be elected as the president of Mexico, a country which officially encourages its emigrants to vote in Mexican elections, urging them to think of themselves as Mexican first and perhaps only.

This is off-topic, and I apologize in advance, but I am trying to find the short piece read by one of the right-wing talk show hosts the other day. It talked about the phases a country goes through and lists six or seven, of the last ones being complacency. I can't recall for the life of me whose program it was, but I sure would like to find the text and present to lots of friends who've adopted the attitude "Don't vote, it only encourages them."

Many thanks!

Thanks for posting this. The president and most of the POS senators are betraying America and her citizens and America will never be the same.

The GOP surrendering on national security... didn't think I would ever see that. If they don't fight back then who will, certainly not the rats.

Please your concerns about our broken borders to President Bush and his staff at the White House at


I'm all hollered out.Bush knows what he's creating....there's lot's of MONEY coming down from somewhere and he'll damn sure get his share and it'll be astronomical!!It's a donedeal and it was from the begining.He'll be leaving soon and it won't matter to him.Rightnow this plays right along with the plan to merge Mexico and Canada with the USA.The american people are just a lot of trouble for him and other politicians in THEIR US government.They just wish we'd all go away.But...we are their source for money so they just put the ear plugs in until they get tired of the hollering and start killing us in the streets.I...wish I could go away and I might just do that and go to a civilized country somewhere.Immigrate legally..you understand,maybe to China..it's peaceful there..lotsa Chinese food.Good for the soul.

Bush doesn't "fail to see" anything. He knows full well what he is doing - selling out our country, intentionally.

When will the conservatives wake up? And I mean WAKE UP!

Well isn't that special.

No doubt about it, this country is up the creek without a paddle. When people are told to NOT wear the flag, fly the flag, or the colors of the flag in this country, something is seriously wrong.

Nothing is wrong. People like you who want to fly the American flag are insensitive. You don't want to be called intolerant, now do you?

Like I say all the time. Where other generations lacked prudence, our generation lacks courage.

It appears those in the highest rungs of power want to reduce this country to a feudal state where the masses are kept dumbed down and wages low.

Wasn't NAFTA sold as a benefit to the United States.

I would say it was crammed down our throats by the elitists who knew what was best for us.

Before it was implemented the Border Patrol Agents on the Border had a different name for it:

"North American Free Drug Trade Agreement."

It talked about the phases a country goes through and lists six or seven, of the last ones being complacency.

We are a very arrogant nation. We think we live in "modern times" and the past is past. What exists today will always exist. Civilizations don't fall anymore. The way it is now, is the way it will always be. Most importantly, let people do whatever they want, as long as "nobody gets hurt".

This is a recipe for disaster. Everybody in the past thought they lived in "modern times". 250 years from now, people will be laughing at us and at our utter stupidity and hubris.

I am trying to find the short piece read by one of the right-wing talk show hosts the other day.

Pat Buchanan has been talking about this for well over a decade. A Republic, Not an Empire, Where the Right Went Wrong, and Death of the West all were attacked when they came out.

Mexican men and women illegally cross the desert border between Texas and Mexico (Photo: Raul Llamas/AFP-Getty Images).

There are reports that the illegals are coming over the border in greater numbers in order to be apart of the amnesty deal.

'Kay, the current American craze is illegal immigration. Just a few months ago, it was hurricane relief. Before that, people got all excited over "the right to die" -- or not. Before that, it was Social Security reform.

The common denominator? President Bush, who is apparently supposed to do something about EVERYTHING his predecessors were afraid to do anything about, while at the same time fighting the war on terror his predecessors were too afraid to fight, as well.

You people who criticize the President for having the courage to deal with issues that have gone undealt with for decades -- in wave upon wave -- are simply disgraceful.

And trolls, probably.

I have been psuedo-blogging, for years, a couple of the elements in WWIV ( III being the Cold War ), in which we find ourselves engaged.

The first element?

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

The"Mexican Flag Superior, America in Distress" is in the upper left corner...
