Do they think we are so easily put off?! Think again!

I don't believe they care whether they put us off or not. They have their agenda and they'll do what's necessary to advance it. Time will tell whether sufficient Repubs agree.

But if they think that will be the end of it, they're sadly mistaken. They have no clue what they've wrought.

LOUDER!

Don’t be defeatist! Without the grassroots energetic opposition to this crappy bill, it would have been passed already. The people *did* make a difference, and the Senators have acknowledged that. Notice also that 10 Democrats peeled off to the ‘no’ side on cloture. Even the Dms arent willing to cross the people on this. Graham getting booed, Chambliss and Alexander and Bennett getting ‘shocked’ by the public reaction in townhalls and at campaign events. Senators noting he flood of communication, 98% of it against the bill. The “bargainers” came in May 20th with a ‘grand compromise” and within 2 weeks, it was in shreds.

We won the battle, now the jury is out on if we will win the war. They will try to pick up the pieces and do it behind closed doors. Our job is to tell them to give it up, and to tell the opponents of this to get vocal about opposition.

And know this: The longer this drags on, the harder it will be for them to pass it... So keep the pressure on. It DOES make a difference!

Unfortunately, the three bozos allegedly representing me apparently are not feeling the pressure from us.

CALLER: Everybody seems to be upset about being labeled a racist for being against the illegals. Well, hey, if I'm standing up for America's laws and the American way of life and that's what I'm protecting, I will gladly take that title. You can call me a racist if that's what that means.

RUSH: No, it's because that's not what racism means, you don't --

CALLER: No, I know, but they're saying that we're racists because of that, and I say that I will gladly take the title, because I want America to be America. I want Americans to be Americans. I want you to be legal. I want you to come here the way our country was established.

RUSH: Yeah, but maybe I'm not understanding. You will take the racist label if that's what it takes to what?

Reminds me of this macaca moment...

Hollywood Actress Declares Herself 'Right Wing Christian Bigot'(Jane Russell) (CNSNews.com ^ | February 03, 2003)

Veteran Hollywood Actress Jane Russell declared herself a "mean-spirited, narrow-minded, right-wing Christian bigot" to a crowd of conservative activists on Saturday.

The retired actress was making the point that she is tired of Christian conservatives being labeled intolerant when they stand up for their beliefs.

Russell's comments received enthusiastic applause at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Arlington, Va.

The 81-year-old Russell, who spoke on a panel called "Hollywood Needs Adult Supervision," explained that her son chides her for using the term 'bigot,' but she insists on doing so.

"My son said, 'Mother you can't say the word bigot because that has to do with nationalities and things.' I said, 'No darling, it's a verb. It means I can't stand these people who are trying to take the Ten Commandments off the wall, take prayer out of school and... take prayer out of football games.' It's too ridiculous," Russell said.

"The Lord put this country together or we wouldn't be like we are," she added.

Basically, the Left is going to label conservatives politically incorrect, and with they are also labeled "racist-sexist-selfish-exploiting-imperialists". "Bigot" and "racist" are not badges of honor but there is no shame in receiving flak from liberals when you stand on principle.

“They could always do like the PA legislature — pass tax increases for us and pay raises for themselves in the middle of the night when no one (i.e., the media) is around.”

I expect them to do just that, and I hope that would be the catalyst for the next revolution. These traitors must be defeated!!!

Good point, Rush. I was suspicious of Feinstein’s over the top drama to begin with. At this point, most of the pols and media are flat-out lying and name-calling. To her, anyone is a racist who opposes her stand.

99% of the ordinary Americans I’ve met involved with this issue, over the last five years, are highly intelligent and do not lie. And I think that if they/we can muster up a letter or phone call, we will not waste it with racist language. Sure, there will always be that other percent.

Feinstein: It’s actually racist to be purposely trying to out-breed Americans and mow us down. It’s almost a type of ethnic cleansing the La Raza types are smirkingly conducting. But what do you care? You have your mansion(s) and servants - what would you know about the impacts of the invasion?

This is not over yet. Bush refuses to give up this easily. It's his stubborn character. He will try to resurrect it and call it something else. We have to keep our guard up. We need to keep the pressure up.

STAGE TWO is to go after the people who hire illegals. Start giving them fines and arresting them. Just catch ten or 100 of them on the nightly news. The magnet will dry up and most of the 12 million will go home by themselves.

As an addendum, we should anonymously call the IRS, people working "off the books" means taxes ain't being paid. Make anonymous fliers and hang them around the neighborhood, name names. It's time to embarrass these bustards, whether they give to the GOP or Rats, we don't need them.

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

National security without secure, controlled borders is an illusion and a conceit.

An excellent conversation. I can only catch Rush maybe once a week now due to work commitments, so I appreciate posts like this.

Do you have a Ping List? Is there a Rush Ping List? Add me to either, please!

(Unless that labels me as a bigot, LOL!)

you forget the dream act.

In state funding and preferential placement for illegals over legal residents and citizens.

(and making even foreign born minors into anchor babies)
