“...those who formally rule take their signals and commands, not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men (plus a few women). This group will be called the Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied; it is one of the secrets of the American social order. A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed. A third secret is implicit in what has been said - that there is really only one political party of any consequence in the United States, one that has been called the ‘Property Party.’ The Republicans and the Democrats are in fact two branches of the same (secret) party.”
Arthur S. Miller, George Washington University
The Party of REAGAN is rapidly disappearing in the rear view mirror.
Only God can turn this around.
Huck’s an eminent danger to Christians, conservatism and this country! AMEN!! Nominating The Huck will ensure that the next President will be at the least as bad as Jimmy Carter nad considering this time of mortal dangers, this JC type Prez will likely be the worst of all time!
Closed.
Conservatives are FOOLS if they think these "Doors" are going to stay in the open position into November and well afterwards. They are going right straight back to the closed position.
These RINOS are going to go from strong pro-borders, pro-deportation in the Jan/Feb/March/April primaries, and revert right back to COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM and Amnesty and Path To Citizenship and Let's Keep Families Together To Do the Jobs Americans Will Not Do, if the are nominated in the Summer or elected in the Fall.
They will be signing the next big MASS AMNESTY FOR 20 MILLION ILLEGALS in 2009, with Ted Kennedy and Lindsey Graham laughing by his side.
GEORGE W. BUSH WAS KIDDING WHEN HE SAID "SEE YOU AT THE SIGNING". Thing is, it may well happen in the follow on Rino Administration, not his.
We have three or so short weeks to educate a LOT OF PEOPLE on the ground in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Wyoming.
This term first announced by Bush was an oxymoron for "Liberal Conservatism. People didn't get it that he was a "Rockefeller Republican".
Sorry, but Fred is out in front of the pack on this issue, he just doesn't blow millions trying to brag about it. Fred is on the record for No Amnesty, he also wants to get rid of anchor babies and chain migration.
As usual, Fred "Gets It."
Thompson Against Anchor Babies
15 September 2007 Written by: WTH Posted under Uncategorized, Fred Thompson, In the News, 2008 Elections, Illegal Immigration, 2008 Presidential Elections, Thompson's Record, Media Coverage Here is a great one to discuss. The so-called anchor baby is where an illegal immigrant comes here just to have their baby so that the baby is an automatic citizen. It has been so badly abused and Thompson has announced his willingness to revisit this law.

Fred Thompson speaks out on immigration issues
On his campaign swing through Florida, Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson has hammered away illegal immigration, saying that America must secure its borders to ensure national security.
Friday, he went a step further.
Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee, said it might be time to reconsider the country’s long-standing practice — one prescribed by the Constitution — of granting citizenship to any child born on U.S. soil.
“That law was created in another time and place for valid reasons,” Thompson said during a campaign stop here. “It probably needs to be revisited.”
The granting of citizenship to anyone born in the United States is included in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
It says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed that in an 1898 court decision involving a Chinese man born in the U.S. to parents who were not citizens.
Since then, anyone born in the U.S. has been automatically granted citizenship apart from rare exceptions involving the children of foreign diplomats.
Friday, Thompson – for the second day in a row said he was willing to reconsider that.
“The question is whether or not it would require a constitutional amendment or change in law,” he said. He also said he wasn’t sure such a provision would ever pass.
“That one, I’m not sure about.”
Thompson said that the issue of automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants is not his primary concern.
“It’s not their fault,” he said. “They don’t determine where they’re born.”
A bigger problem, he said, was so-called “chain migration” – the practice of giving preferential treatment to the immediate family members of children who are born here.
Thompson said under current law, those children can “grow up and be used as anchors to bring in other people.”
He said he was “dead set” against that.
Thompson’s willingness to entertain the idea of withholding citizenship for children born here illustrates how important the immigration issue has become to Republican presidential candidates.
All have taken a hard line against illegal immigration but as of Friday no other contender has gone as far as Thompson
So, looks like Fred was first to get to the HEART of the matter which is the giveaway of American Citizenship just because an illegal alien blows one out on US Territory. AND he is saying NO ANCHOR BABIES. The reason? CHAIN MIGRATION. Which is the monster that will kill this nation.
Now when FRED says he is "Dead Set Against It" I tend to believe him. Unlike other candidates that are still trying to chase off the illegals from their own landscaping service just two weeks ago.
Vote for the most conservative candidate....That’s if you want real change.
Otherwise we will continue the Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, ? pattern.
A vote for Rudy, Mitt, McCain, Huckabee, is equivalent to a vote for Clinton, Richardson, Biden.
Great analogy. I agree with you 100%.
The Media picks the candidates on both sides my FRiend.
This is what it has come down to. We The People have to wade through the candidates foisted upon us by both parties and try to figure out which ones are lying the least. Simultaneously, we must suffer the lying, the demonization and the canonization the media does in order to get the most liberal candidate elected. It's disgusting.
Well, I DID say “some say” for the record, you know.
Why, thank you, Reluctant.
My tagline in essence shows whom I think is "lying the least"! ;-)
I hope the grassroots GOP non-activist voters in Iowa and elsewhere give this thing a BIIIIIG thought before pulling those levers.
There are no anchor babies in Bermuda. Pregnant?....don’t come over the SECURE border.
DUNCAN HUNTER FOR PRESIDENT!!
I saw him on O’Reilly last night and he eviscerated some Dem strategist.
