I would put them on a bus, or any other means of transportation available, and put every one of them back across the border, crying kids and all.

They aren't allowed to come here, or stay here, because we are compassionate, but because certain of our "leaders" need them to force fundamental changes upon the nation, changes against our wishes, changes they cannot impose any other way.

Unfettered illegal immigration is the stone that will kill our republic, and give the would be dictators the easily corrupted democracy they desire.

Note that she is saying today, long after she was outed as nothing more than an elitist snob, that she had this "feeling" just after Republicans took over the House for the first time in 40 years.

Something inside was telling us we were living through "not the placid dawn of a peaceful age but the illusory calm before stern storms."

I notice she didn't provide a link or source to prove this.

Oh, it's Peggy "see I was right 16 years ago" Noonan.

I cannot read more than a few paragraphs her wordy, unctuous tripe.

I'm actually a Noonan fan, but I don't think this piece does a very good job of articulating the anger that the fly-over populace has against the politicians and judges who are ignoring the will of the majority.

We have lost control of our judiciary and we need to do whatever it takes to get it back. State after state, with sizable margins, has passed referendums against gay marriage, and Congress passed the Defense Of Marriage Act. And yet the discussion all week has been that this will be decided by an evenly divided Supreme Court with Kennedy being the swing vote.

Why are so few people getting to make these decisions, while completely ignoring the will of an overwhelming majority?

Since when does a single judge from a liberal area get to make sweeping cultural changes?

The states need to reassert dominance over the feds. The Governors and States Attorneys General will need to lead this fight.

And Congress needs to reign in the Judicial branch.

Peggy, it's not that complex. The reality is that Washington, and politics in general tends to attract narcissistic morons. Plain and simple. The day we start looking AND treating them as the clowns that they are, and give them less than 0 respect, AND hold all elected public officials to a total of 12 years total service, is the day that the country begins to heal and to move FORWARD. Don't look to the academy to define progress, or to even know the direction in which progress moves. Look to the thoughts, actions, and souls of sincere individuals. Look to those who think for themselves, not those who believe they think for themselves but who spend most of their time conforming their views to what the ‘intellectually hip’ have defined as ‘smart’’.

I believe you are smart, but the fact that you were taken in by someone as obviously sophomoric as Obama makes us wonder when and why you stopped being yourself. Wake up.

Its somewhat encouraging to see hand-wringing on the part of RINOS and DEMS; they are all late to the party but may well help sway the spineless MOR fence-sitters.

Any break in the MSM dike is welcome. ( I’m trying to fit as many acronyms in as I can!)

We have to get them to this point before we push them to realize you can “repatriate” 12 million illegals humanely with enough common will.

Think of the job opportunities....
