That's a list of heavy hitters.

"That's a list of heavy hitters."

It sure is. These are the people I trust. The true patriots who care about America.

[sageb1]

"I can hear it now. The neocons II. PJNAC"

Who cares? I certainly wouldn't want my name on any other list.

[Kakaze]

" As Ronald Reagan used to say "trust, but verify."

Its a great letter. It will be interesting to see the normal "Cast of Characters", around here, attempt to discredit it.

RIGHT ON

I really had to laugh watching Fred Barnes and the rest of the panel on Brit's show yesterday regarding this letter. They had the funniest, most baffled looks on their faces.

It was really amazing! Fred, I think, finally gets it. As do Mara et al. They declared the bill dead-dead-dead.

We "yahoos" knew all along that it would be a political disaster to pass anything resembling the Senate version, but the pundit classes kept insisting there would be a bill, that it would be a huge failure for the Republicans if a bill didn't pass, that the base must be saved from itself, yada, yada, yada.

But, golly gee, these fine intellectual conservatives who signed this letter feel just the way we "yahoos" do.

Shazaaaam!!!!!

We need to keep ringing to doorbell in hopes someone will answer. IMO, the music is too load for anyone inside to hear.

[ImpBill]

It will be difficult but the "BB's" will somehow dis each and everyone of these folks.

Imagine actually securing the border before dealing with the criminals here. Oh, my bad. "Criminals"? Shame on me. I forgot it all depends on what the definition of "criminal" ... is.

At any rate great find. Unfortunately, even statements from a group, such as these distinguished folks, don't really seem to sway our "elected" officials these days.

Only one way in my minds eye to secure the border and secure this Republic.

The first step is to clean out the congress, assembled, over the next three general elections. Then set an rigidly maintain strict term limits.

We must end "ruler-ship" by the "elected".

Then we will have a much better chance of restoring security and constitutional conservatism to this once towering Republic.

In the process, it wouldn't hurt to "build up The Wall".

Is there anybody out there?

[Tolik]

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.  

[GarySpFc]

Thank God there are decent men and women who hear our cries for help from this invasion.

[Carry_Okie]

That's a list of heavy hitters.

William B. Allen, at Michigan State is one serious constitutional scholar (and my former professor :-). It's nice to see him taking a swing.

"It was really amazing! Fred, I think, finally gets it."

No he doesn't. He and Mort just can't understand how we, the peons, can't be as smart as their elitist selves. Fred thinks this is all being instigated and fomented by talk radio, and that we don't have the brains to figure illegal immigration issues out ourselves; it's the talk radio hosts that are implanting such rebellion in our minds. Fred and Mort are tone deaf and clueless about this issue.

[rovenstinez]

Things are really getting out of hand. Rivers more polluted, more toxic waster everywhere. Violence, corruption, relationships in homes, at school, and courts that go to work to apply technicalities, and no real JUSTICE. Some better needs to start eating APPLE PIE and Coffee, and talking to their Mom's and Dad's, and Grandpa and Grandma about VALUES...not Decimal Dewey or Margarent Mead, but Wise Solomon of Isreal. Here in Mexico it's quite a known fact we do have many who skip court appearances and are now starting over again in the USA. That MAY BE a good thing, but people in America might like to know the FACTS about the people who are coming in to take the jobs, and what there REAL name is.

[rightazrain]

Yes, you're right about that part. I heard him mention talk radio last night.

What I meant about Fred getting it, is that the bill will NOT pass, and he had kept insisting in recent weeks that it should, and would!

[OldFriend]

BB checking in.

The American people are not overwhelmingly supporting these elites.

There are but two or three people on that list that are not pushing an agenda of their own.

And how did they manage to keep PJB off the list of signatories.

[cinives]

wht is PJNAC ?
