Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

"Do these people ever learn?"

As someone quipped about the Palestinians, so too Latin Americans never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

That's been an historical pattern that has routes back on the Iberian penninsula.

Observe what's happened with the recent lurches to the Left in Veneuela and Bolivia.

Watch for more fun times with the pending Peru and Mexico elections.

"Mexicans...we don't need no stinkin' Mexicans!"

[Probus]

Mike Reagan said yesterday the only thing he noticed about the Stinko de Mayo day was that the highways were less crowded and, he was sure, almost everyone out on the freeways had insurance.

[MarDav]

Weren't those demonstrating ilegales really saying, "America, help us! Our own countries stink! They are rotten! They are full of lousy governments! They are full of hopeless conditions! They are lands with no hope! They are places with no futures! Our own countries don't have enough food to feed us, jobs to occupy us, hospitals to take care of us, schools to educate us. They are cesspools reeking from wasted lives because those lives lack opportunity! Help us, America! Help us! Our own leaders, our own lands, our own homes are not worth trusting, are not worth staying on, are not worth living in. Please, help us!"

Wasn't this also part of the lesson to be learned yesterday?

[kellynla]

too bad W & the Gelding Old Party doesn't get the "lesson"...

[Buck W.]

"- that the fight is eminently winnable."

By whom?

[roaddog727]

"But it cannot be denied that guests, particularly uninvited ones, are not in a position to make demands."

Gold Star comment of the Week!

[janetgreen]

But it cannot be denied that guests, particularly uninvited ones, are not in a position to make demands. The sooner we get that straight, the sooner we can move on to a just and fair solution.

I think the American taxpayers are the ones who need "a just and fair solution". Illegal immigration is bleeding us dry.

They don't want to pay for anything, they expect (and demand) that we take them on as dependents for the rest of their lives. They get free medical (how many of us do?) Some lawmakers want to give them in-state tuition to colleges (my American citizen grandson pays out of state tuition). They're overloading our schools and demanding "special" attention because they won't learn English. They're drying up our social service system here in California. They're filling our prisons. They're taking American jobs, working for cash, and paying few taxes.

Each one of them in the end costs us over $50,000. WHY IS THIS OUR RESPONSIBILITY? If a "just and fair solution" can be found to relieve the American taxpayers of the burden of these locusts, maybe some of us would be willing to listen.

[Verginius Rufus]

The correct Spanish expression would be el primero de mayo, but the Russian pervyj maja would come closer to the spirit of the occasion.

Of course, the old socialist slogan was "Workingmen of all countries, unite!" The subtext was: "You have nothing to lose but your chains." Now it's, "Illegals of all countries, unite!" The subtext is: "to reconquer Aztlan and expel the gringo."

[Kimberly GG]

Here's another lession learned. It matters not how many times you write your State Representative or what you say. Simply saying "Bite me." WILL get you the exact same form letter.

[Inwoodian]

Un-arrested alien criminals extort the government by means of tacit public threats in order to reach a result not desired by the citizenry. Mobocracy replaces Republican democracy and the band plays on.

[HostileTerritory]

Isn't it primero de mayo?

[hershey]

Wonderful piece! Succinct, polite, great.

[Theresawithanh]

"- that they obey the law; - that they learn the language;
- that they respect the citizenry."

Absolutamente!

Thank you for posting this great article.

[Plutarch]

The Left usually does well with issues that remain distant from the daily life of the average voter.

This is good, it needs to be made into Dunn's Law:

The more esoteric the issue, the greater the left's influence.

or...

The Left's success with an issue increases geometrically with that issue's distance from the voter.

[I'm ALL Right!]

The other lesson we learned yesterday: Our government will willingly allow our tax money to be used to support an activity admittedly aimed at harming the U.S. economy (aka "terrorism") for the sake of political correctness.

Legals stay, illegals should go back. They should have no rights, (other than basic human kindness) if they sneak in.
