Bush The Fanatic (Joseph Farah Slams Out Of Touch With Main Street America President Bush Alert)

I just don't have the courage to put a comprehensive immigration plan into place.

That's what President Bush said last week in promoting his plan to provide amnesty to 15 million to 20 million illegal aliens already in this country and welcome in millions more to provide his fat-cat friends with abundant cheap labor.

He impugned the motives of anyone opposing the amnesty bill worked out by the White House and senators in secret.

In all his years in the White House, I've never seen him speak so harshly about political opponents who really do not want to do what's right for America.

I've never seen him impugn the motives of Hillary Rodham Clinton or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.

And that suggests to me when it comes to this border issue, this national security concern of illegal immigration, Bush is a political fanatic – an extremist who will never back down or see the light.

Bush is the first president to acknowledge his own motivations for refusing to carry out his constitutional duty to enforce immigration laws already on the books. He did that when he explained that America needs the cheap labor, that "these people" do jobs Americans won't do.

Yet, there must be more to his determination to provide amnesty for those he wrongly welcomed here in the first place. When Bush gets this mean toward his political opponents, there's got to be more at stake.

But he reserves the name-calling for people like me who believe in the rule of law, who believe it's supposed to mean something when a president lays his hand on the Bible and swears to uphold the Constitution and execute the laws of the land.

Is there anyone out there who truly believes Bush is doing what is right for America by pushing this amnesty plan?

Does anyone believe those opposing Bush's plan lack courage? Is that a fair assessment?

Do you think those opposing Bush on this amnesty plan just want to knock down America's great immigration tradition?

These are strong charges by Bush even if they are without any substance or credibility. They say much more about the character of the president than they do about those he attacks.

If there were ever any doubt, at least on this issue of border security and illegal immigration, Bush is a fanatic. He is an extremist. He is so hopelessly out of touch with Main Street America it takes your breath away. I'm sure Bush's logic is understood at some elite country clubs, but it is certainly a mystery to hard-working Americans.

Maybe he believes the American people don't deserve to be consulted about fundamental changes in the way their country is governed.

Clearly he believes he knows better than the vast majority who simply want existing immigration laws enforced before debating new ones.

In all his years in the White House, I've never seen him speak so harshly about political opponents who really do not want to do what's right for America.

I've never seen him say that about Ted Kennedy, for instance.

I've never seen him impugn the motives of Hillary Rodham Clinton or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.

President Bush has never attacked political opponents the way he has attacked the base, by casting outrageous aspersions on their opposition to the amnesty bill. I agree with Joseph Farah on two things: the President is an Open Borders fanatic who thinks the country needs to be forced to accept breaking the law is the right thing to do for America. That's the first thing we know about Bush that's indisputable. Then there's his being out of touch with Main Street America. The man has a political ear when the American people say NO. He and his fat cat friends don't understand why the country doesn't accept their immigration prescription. We have a right to feel different.

Got this email tonight:

A Mexican, an Iraqi, and a redneck girl are in the same bar.

When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, “In Mexico our glasses are so cheap we don’t need to drink with the same one twice.”

The Iraqi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, “In Iraq we have so much sand to make glasses that we don’t need to drink with the same one twice either.”

The redneck girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one draft, throws the glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi.

Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and
calling for a refill, she says, “In America we have so many illegal Mexicans and Arabs that we don’t have to drink with the same ones twice.”

Biting the Hand That Feeds You

	May 5, 2006

On May 1st, the activists who brought you thousands of Mexican flags flying in marches down the streets of our cities are now bringing you "Nothing Gringo Day". With help from the Mexican government, Mexican unions, Mexican political groups, and through the Spanish language radio and newspapers, the call has gone out to make America experience a total boycott, both here and in Mexico. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Just the word "boycott" sparks the image of noble dissent in the face of economic or social oppression. I think of American colonials bucking British economic interests in retaliation to the Stamp Act. Or perhaps the ostracizing of Irish landlord Charles Boycott, the namesake of the verb for all tyrannized people. If not tyrannized, at least disgruntled. If not disgruntled, maybe just bored. Yet, isn't the key to a successful boycott an economic or social upper-hand? The cost must be felt if the offending party be forced to reform. For example, how does boycotting a movie you had no intention of going to affect the box office? More people probably see a boycotted movie due to the attention than if it had simply been ignored. President Carter thought he was on to something when he kept American athletes out of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. That showed 'em. That particular boycott neither got the USSR out of Afghanistan nor brought down the Berlin Wall. It just caused our own athletes to suffer. The May 1st anti-Gringo-fest is also being billed as "A Day Without Immigrants" which is a misnomer on a couple of counts. First, the threatened boycott fails to conjure the image of a Norwegian refusing to buy his May 1 lutefisk at the corner Fareway. Second, the pro-amnesty groups are insistent on confusing legal and illegal immigration. Let's not start mixing our apples and oranges. The issue before Congress is illegal immigration. Perhaps the May 1st boycott should give America a glimpse into "A Day Without ILLEGAL Immigration." What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration? There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines that plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of meth that day by 80%. The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals. Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime. On the negative side, the price of a pound of tomatoes might go up from $0.79 to $0.80. That is unless you have a garden. But I'm guessing that the Mexican drug lords are not taking May 1st off. Neither will the 11,000 illegal invaders that pour over our border every other day of the year. It is a safe bet that the U.S. Border Patrol will have a very busy "Nothing Gringo Day." Since September 11th, it remains true that OBL is the greatest threat to America. I will leave it to the reader to decide if the greatest threat is Osama bin Laden or the Open Borders Lobby. The emerging cheap labor "ruling class" in America is the strongest supporter of amnesty for illegals. Their anti-American "new servant class" has chosen to boycott them; the very definition of irony. On May 1st, Primero de Mayo, Americans will observe, as illegal immigrants celebrate, "Bite the Hand That Feeds You Day."
