I attended a CATO meeting on Wednesday that had an open borders type, Jason Riley of the WSJ, promoting his new book, "Let them in." Michael Barone spoke as well. His remarks were disappointing. He was saying that the anti-immigrant Reps would have to adapt or die as a party.

Is that the way Barone stated it,"anti-immigrant"? If so, why can't these people get it right? We are not anti-immigrant, only anti-illegal alien. We are against amnesty, rewarding law breakers. These people like Michael Barone make their living with words. They are over paid.

Agreed. They represent the conventional wisdom. The problem is that this is not a partisan issue. It involves the survival of this country and our values. How can you compromise those?

Someone once said that countries don't have friends, only interests. In the end, the same can be said about people, especially where politics is concerned.

I've been a conservative all my life, but if the conservative movement I knew is dead and cynical political expediency becomes the name of the game, then I'll shed my tears, suck it up, kiss my youthful naivete goodbye and embrace the new underhanded conniving and betrayal. IOW, if there's no longer any truth, why not play with the left to win than play with the left-lite GOP who will only be playing an amateur's game?
