Great post - We should all be thankful for this man of tremendous character and class with have as our POTUS/CIC.
And understand our base made up of very good men & women is already coming back together on the whole. There is a small, "sky is falling", "hanging on the immigration cross martyrs" group left within the base...but they are a very small minority that will only continue to get smaller. They are chicken little's that simply can't see class and character because they lack it themselves.

You don't live in the American southwest, do you?

Wait, wait...class and character is intextricably bound up in your view on the immigration situation?!

"There is a small, "sky is falling", "hanging on the immigration cross martyrs" group left within the base...but they are a very small minority that will only continue to get smaller" You're joking, right? If immigration is a chicken little, "sky is falling" issue, then why did Bush suddenly decide to send 6,000 troops to help secure the border, and make the announcement on a specially prepared national TV audience? Did Chicken Little scare him to death, or did he propose his troops plan to try to appease his base, which is disintegrating faster than you can say "vigilante"?
It's a damn shame that he doesn't view 20 million people sneaking into our country under the radar of the law, and who arrogantly refuse to assimilate, to be INVADERS, because that's exactly what they are. Even Rush Limbaugh has said, (today, in fact), that illegal immigration is fast becoming the dominant issue on the minds of ALL Americans.

Gee, you must have missed the poll on FR where a full 60 percent said they would stay home from the polls.
All I heard last night was Bush lying out his teeth that there can be no border security without a guest worker program. They two are two different issues.
I heard him have the gall to dismiss abused, hard working, law abiding Americans, by declaring that the hard working illegals have a right to demand we ignore our laws and that as American citizens we do not have the right to say no, enough. He stated that we must forever and always be a nation that welcomes immigrants, legal and illegal and honor their cultures, which has led to the strengthening of America. Do you feel America is stronger when police in L.A. are fighting a gang that is using hand grenades and automatic weapons against them as I type this?
This phenom is not exclusive to the USofA, it's happening in every Western nation that fears trade and other sanctions if they don't accept third world foreigners, who will not have to use guns, tanks, or war to conquer their host nation whom they despise, all they have to do is out breed them.
You may call that a blessing, I call it something else.
