You're right, we don't have an illegal immigration problem.

Sigh. So sad the state of reading these days. I didn't say that there isn't an illegal immigration problem. I said that PJB has marginalized himself and has become ever more irrelevant. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether or not he happens to speak some degree of truth on any particular subject, rather it has to do with his having made himself a broken conduit. It is this that makes whatever he says suspect in much the same way that whatever Don Wildmon is suspect: are they saying what they're saying because it is true or because it's a hot button they can repeatedly thumb as a means to fund the Don Wildmon or PJB crusade?

I used to really like PJB back in the 1980s. I was very impressed by his autobiography. I always read his columns. But since then he has sequestered himself with other at-one-time-apparently-relevant screechers such as Ross Perot.

The truth is the truth, regardless of who speaks it, and whether you consider it to be a "hot button" or not.
