Surely all these signs with a similar theme are just coincidence.

However, now I do not feel alone. Peggy Noonan has a new column up in the Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal. She has clearly said what has been getting me down. I think I knew what was up, but couldn't put a finger on it. I knew it centered around the immigration debate, and the way our congressional leaders are behaving. That sentiment especially includes Mr. Bush too, but when I read this column, I felt like Charlie Brown yelling at Lucy at her Psychology booth when he yells, "That's it!" when trying to identify why he can't get into the Christmas spirit.
Try this clip on for size :
The White House doesn't need its traditional supporters anymore, because its problems are way beyond being solved by the base. And the people in the administration don't even much like the base. Desperate straits have left them liberated, and they are acting out their disdain. Leading Democrats often think their base is slightly mad but at least their heart is in the right place. This White House thinks its base is stupid and that its heart is in the wrong place.
For almost three years, arguably longer, conservative Bush supporters have felt like sufferers of battered wife syndrome. You don't like endless gushing spending, the kind that assumes a high and unstoppable affluence will always exist, and the tax receipts will always flow in? Too bad! You don't like expanding governmental authority and power? Too bad. You think the war was wrong or is wrong? Too bad.
But on immigration it has changed from "Too bad" to "You're bad."
The president has taken to suggesting that opponents of his immigration bill are unpatriotic--they "don't want to do what's right for America." His ally Sen. Lindsey Graham has said,

“You will be keep whining about it from now until you die but it will not be resolved according to what you wish, the opposite will be true.”
So we have no rule of law? Our laws mean nothing? So which law can I break today to demand and expect amnesty tomorrow? I guess by your logic, anyone I chose?
Wow, google is fast tonight. and yes, the FReepmail has been interesting
“And President Bush has great and realistic intentions in this illegal immigration bill.”
Are you aware that Mexico is one of the richest countries in the world?
I think you can connect the dots.
I sense that you are a good person that does not want to admit that he’s been duped.
I’m going to tell you something.
I have worked along side of illegals and some of them are even my friends!
Of course I am compassionate.
Now — as the president of the united states — where would my loyalty lay, with my “buddies’ or with the Constitution — that I have sworn to uphold?
As president he has a DUTY to America BEFORE:
His family; His friends; The Mexican maid that helped raise him; His rich elitist “buddies” in Mexico et.
If the obligations of the presidency (upholding the Constitution)conflict with his fealty toward his Mexican friends; to the point where he is willing to compromise our country — then there is a problem.
I have many personal beliefs that I would have no right as President of the United States to impose on you — even “for your own good!”
The Presidency was not intended to be a king-ship(George Washington refused the title).
He has a sworn DUTY as our President (upholding the Constitution)that supersedes his personal inclinations.
Why is that so hard for people(including Bush)to understand?
I hope you have got my point.
” I think that FredThompson is just another internationalist in conservative clothing.”
I am, as you no doubt guessed, not an isolationist. I think Fred Thompson may be just what we need. But it’s early yet.
Full circle would be if I were supporting the Dems I am not.
..the insiders saw their opportunity to get rid of Dornan and turned a blind eye to some of the most blatant election law violations in my memory—and yes, illegals voted...
Wow.
Don’t sugar coat it, tell me how you REALLY feel./s
So, you come hear often?
j/k.
Like the post.
“Our economy is better than ever and unemployment rate is at a low 4.5%, those Latinos cleaning the bathroom, painting the homes, constructing the homes, taking out the garbage, busing the tables in a restaurant, and filling your car tank with gas are not wrecking the economy. Many small businesses have flourished on Latino workers and no one is going to take it away from them.”
I can clean my own bathroom, only takes 5 minutes, I can paint my home cheaper and more fulfilling, take out the garbage I was doing that since I was 7, then filling my own tank since I’ve started driving. Teenagers and college students can wait tables and not have to hire an interpreter. Al Capone flourished during prohibition and all he did wrong was not pay taxes.
We can get robots to do the same jobs these intruders do, we could have Americans doing the circuits, mining the steel and copper, and servicing the robots and not have to pay for these invaders running over our kin and neighbors in DWI cases, being rammed by uninsured invaders, being raped by them.
Businesses that employ those that break the law and cause a burden to those in the community they choose to start a business in have no moral standing to succeed. Screw them.
Respectfully, that`s not really news. But, lotsa folk don`t understand that we do have amnesty now and will have until somethings are changed by Congress. I`m tired of waiting.
Phillie is one of the most democrat cities in America and for sure not because of illegal immigrants. New Jersey has been tending liberal since 1992, the illegal immigrants are not the one who are making the democrats win new Jersey, it is the many, many, many liberal democrats who live there.
Ditto!
