The writer is either an idiot or disingenuous. Rudy Guliani is *not* a conservative.
Beautiful, isn’t it? Why doesn’t Barbara Boxer hold up one of THOSE charts and start a debate? Better yet, why doesn’t W. peruse that information and LET IT SINK IN. These are NOT opportunities, these are PROBLEMS. GAWD, when is common sense going to make a return to those in charge?!?
Assimilate? In central Florida where I live the only assimilation I’m seeing is OURS- we are BEING ASSIMILATED by a foreign culture and language.
In my neighborhood the swimming pool is full of people who play LOUD Latino? Mexican? music all day and late into the night on weekends...and not one of them speaks a word of English. 2 years ago, the pool area had a mixed group- a variety of blacks, whites and latinos. Everyone had fun together..now there is no variety- only those who will not assimilate.
Sometimes it truly does seem as though our president is not living in the same country as the rest of us...
I disagree with President Bush on the illegal aliens issue, but Peggy No-one has turned into a real {enter your own non printable word here}. She is becoming the next ariana puffington.
You mean the BUSH that could see Putin’s soul and could see it was so GOOD ?
I’ll pass on his judgement of people’s souls.
Yup. You’d think he would have figured out that we aren’t stupid after the Harriet Myers debacle.
This neatly states the dilemma we face if we choose to deal with Republican lack of backbone by sitting on our hands in the next election. The problem is how to instill some spine in our representatives without simultaneously getting something far worse. We don't want to bite our noses to spite our faces. The only effective answer I've come up with is a contribution strike against the RNC, the Republican Congressional Committee, and the Republican Senatorial Committee. As Lyndon Johnson said, "Money is the mother's milk of politics." If we cut them off NOW AND DECISIVELY, tell them exactly why we're doing it, and what they can do to get us to turn the money flow back on, then we have a good chance of defeating this immigration monstrosity and doing something about other things. The beauty of this approach is it causes immense initial pain that's likely to get attention and compliance, while avoiding permanent injury. Nothing else shows any genuine hope of being really effective.
Yup. He’s lost me, that’s for sure.
Good luck with that.
We can rally around winning the war that Bush made a hash of and we can rally around stopping Islamofascism and homegrown terrorism and we can rally around stopping runaway spending in Washington. Not every conservative is a social conservative - and this election is starting to show that. But if we succeed in creating a coalition that crosses party lines, the next candidate we support could be a conservative Dem like a Zell Miller. There’s strength in numbers.
Spot on! Prior waves of imigration were people who wanted to be part of the American dream. Not migrant workers who wave foreign flags while shouting about how rotten our country is and demanding taxpayer funded entitlements. Big difference there.
But if you voted for Bush you voted for someone who does not appear to care about our nation’s sovereignty or the rule of law.
Me too. Removed all kinds of things I had for Bush. I will save them however, because they might be worth a fortune one day due to the turn this President made and how he betrayed those of us who fought like hell for him and defended him so fiercly. Sad but true.
In her original article, Peggy Noonan never mentioned Rooty, this piece has been skewed to help Rooty. Shameless.
Conservatives will never “take back” the GOP because as Bush has so clearly demonstrated it was never really ours to begin with. Any GOP candidate who wants to win our votes just tells us what we want to hear then does what he damn well pleases when he doesn’t need us anymore. Conservatives in the Republican party are like Blacks in the Dem party. Taken for granted, then discarded as soon as it’s expedient. This has to stop.
Among the nine dwarves who are running, she will win the nomination. And she has the money and the political organization to crush anyone who opposes her - unless that candidate can match her in both.
I've read a lot of the books by Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews in Holland during WW2. Sometimes to do so, she had to lie to the authorities.
In this case, I don't think Bush is acting on Christian Principles, but obtaining cheap labor for his buddies. While I'm not a Bibical Scholar, I know both New and Old Testaments say a lot about "Crapth Not on ye nations poor, for thou willist offend me and I will go a smothing and such".
A corporation. On illegal immigration, the Reps are just as corrup as the Dems. Maybe more so.
This just about says it all, thanks.
