You can’t ask a driver for a photo ID. That would impact minorities and poor people most. Just like voter ID.

“Even Jorge Bush labeled the border watch group, Minutemen....vigilantes.”

Actually, the word “vigilante” comes from the Spanish word “vigilante,” which literally means someone who is vigilant (the verb form, “vigilar,” means “to watch closely”), but is usually used to refer to a sentry guard or some such. In fact, the Texas Rangers baseball team is known in Spanish as “los Vigilantes de Texas.” So perhaps President Bush did not mean to ascribe a negative connotation to the Minutemen, who were vigilantly protecting the border while the INS looked the other way.

Don’t forget big hair kindly brought all those criminals from NOLO to be your neighboors. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Strangely enough, no one talks about it but, Sarah said once that it makes no sense to go to DC and leave the same good old boys there.

Well, I'd like to drift off into lala land and conjure up all the warm fuzzy feelings for Bush, but....no, not so much.

When he called the Minute men vigilantes, he was attempting to intimidate anyone that might stand in the way of the open border agenda.

The same goes with the two border agents the feds tossed in prison for defending the border. Bush finally bowed to the pressure and commuted their sentence...no pardon.

If Bush were a real Texan, he’da shut down those borders tight. He chose to keep them wide open.

Curious as to why? Wouldn't be an agenda....would it?
