Today conservatives and Americans across this nation, especially those who voted for George W Bush, should be thankful for what we have accomplished and for having George Bush as President. My tolerance for the whiners who don’t get all they want, or who say the pace of getting America to become more responsive to conservative ideas is too slow, is totally used up. Tonight, when George Bush speaks his is going to discuss how we can take SOME steps towards getting a handle on immigration and the security threats it represents.
I want to give thanks to W for taking the war to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and for not shrinking from his course when the French and Germans bawked, when the UN whimpered, when the left wailed and when the right ran away.
I want to thank him for protecting all our families and neighbors since 9-11.
I want to thank him for reducing taxes and pulling this economy together since my family just about went under due to the economic hits from 9-11, and now I am working a dream job exploring the solar system.
I want to thank W for protecting the lives of some of the embryos who otherwise would have become a product to harvest for spare cells (to make spare parts).
I want to thank W for making the education system accountable and force it to produce statistics on its performance.
Thanks also for giving my 80+year old parents a prescription drug plan so they can live out their lives with dignity and in the best health preventive medicine can offer. I know that at their age to fix things once their broken is much harder than keeping them from breaking in the first place.
Thank you as well to the immigrants who come here and extend the American fabric and re-establish respect for the family and the work ethic. I still believe working without papers is aking to driving a car which is not properly registered. While not legal, it pales next to the people I deal with everyday in my 75 mile commute on the busy and dangerous DC Beltway. For perspective, I do not thank all the drivers chatting on the phone, reading, eating, doing their face who risk my LIFE with their casualness. I am less concerned about the immigrant workers coming to do top notch work on my house than the insane drivers who could kill me or my family. Let’s not even discuss how little thanks I have for drunk drivers (and drunk is only a few drinks away).
I want to thank LJSTrata for putting up with me for so long and keeping this site going through its first Blogoversart (5/18/06).
I owe a big thanks to Powerline this week for naming us Blog of the Week - which is an extreme honor we will cherish.
I want to thank my kids and family for being who they are.
I do not have any words of thanks to he those who leak national secrets to the media because they cannot address their issues through our established political processes. None. Anomous leaks are not a badge of honor.
I have no words of thanks to those who are so frustrated they have turned on Bush when he needs our support, and threaten to sit out elections. Why would I have any thanks for that kind of action? I am thankful we avoided a President Gore and President Kerry. Gore would have lost his mind after 9-11 (look at how he handled the 2000 election). And Kerry would have been so confused about what to do he would have signed legislation beforing vetoing it.
I am thankful for our new allies in Iraq, Afgahnistan, the UAE, Qatar and Pakistan. They are not perfect allies, but they are better than enemies. Just like Bush is 100 fold better than a manic Gore or a confused Kerry. I thank Bush for doing all he did, and doing it despite the naysayers and quitters, the moaners and whiners, and especially the serial surrenderers. Thanks George Bush. And no thanks goes to anyone who gives us nothing on immigration because they could not get all they wanted. I am tired of the zero sum game. It is a game for fools.

okay.
Bob, you ARE a ray of sunshine! BRAVO!!!! And your last two sentences summed it up perfectly. "I am tired of the zero sum game. It is a game for fools."
No, they both said that we need to secure the borders first, before talking about the rest, and that it would take a while to judge whether the borders are secure.
These people are so transparent it's almost unbelievable that they are not complete laughing stocks
Dang, and just when we had gotten used to your puffed out cheeks and red face. ;)
Seriousness would be a good start. I am part of his base, and I heard him loud and clear. It was painfully obvious throughout the weekend and today, that those who have screamed the loudest chose to become deaf before the President even said one word tonight.
So, many of the more anonymous (and lefty state) people here blame our President for what their own states and neighbors bring on them, and they want Hillary for president. What a surprise...
If you look at the profiles of those who shout "impeach him!", most of them (not all, but most) live close to the border. Usually SoCal., Texas, New Mexico, etc. They are the loudest, rudest, most vile on the threads.
Wonderful. Now we have hamster-human hybrids roaming the boards. Sigh..
BINGO, He could have given tonight's speech from atop a 4000 mile long 400 foot tall wall separating us from those pesky Mexicans and they would complain that the wall wasn't capable of withstanding a direct hit from an Iranian Nuke, therefore it was inferior, and when do the impeachment hearings start :-)
Actually, he's done more to increase this problem than any president in anyone's lifetime. Under the Bush Presidency government aid to illegal immigrants has increased greatly; such as when he granted "temporary protected status," to 150,000 illegal Salvadorans in 2001, sheilding them from deportation. But that's just one of many examples of Bush leading the illegal immigrant invasion.
Time and again Bush has defended illegal immigration, we all know he views them as "temporary guest workers", even though nobody invited these "guests" to our country. Meanwhile he assaults patriotic Americans with the incredibly arrogant, (and stupid) term "vigilante". Now look who is sending 6,000 "vigilantes" to the border. At least the President has opened up one of his eyes.
A little more pressure from his base and we might actually get the President to do the right thing and begin deporting these millions and millions of invaders. But so far Bush has made it very clear that he wants to reward their invasion with a fast track to citizenship.
Perhaps that explains their blindness. ;)
Did you hear about the alligator attacks in Florida?
People are listening, but so far he hasn't said much of anything.
And everyone of them "2 time Bush voters" that are leading the pack against the GOP in 2006. There is nothing to see here...move along.
Around here we simply call them "RATS". ;)
We do not have a border problem, we have an interior problem.
Remove the salt lick and the Deer will quit coming.
To blame this President for 50 years of neglect by the US Congress is a joke. We have Senators who have been in office since the 1950's and a good portion of them in Congress were here when Reagan granted Amnesty to 3 million illegals and nothing was done after-wards, yet somehow this President is to blame for our immigration policy.
IMHO these mental midgets here are nothing but tools for the left, and they are incapable of seeing it
