And there IS such a thing as people actually changing their minds. Have you NEVER said something in good conscience, thinking you would do something, then later deciding it was a serious mistake?
For me the last straw was watching my President on TV this morning telling the press that he wanted to get all those workers south of the border who wanted work, he wanted to get them together with employers here. I've had it. Illegal immigration is something that affects me in my everyday life. It's now personal. More than 80% of Americans feel similarly.
I was willing to bury my resentment over the federalization of airport security, and I was willing to bury my resentment over the education bill. I bought all the explanations based on smart politicking, compromising and outfoxing. I knew that CFR was important to understand the implications of and for our President to make a case for. But our President barely said a thing about it. This is a nightmare.
But I was left feeling I had woke up to a bad dream this morning. I looked at the screen with my beloved President speaking out against what %80 of his people want, secure borders and an end to this influx of unassimilatable culture which threatens to supplant our own. I looked at my beloved President and saw a man who is controlled and acts against the will of the people. I was in denial and now I am crestfallen. I wish I would wake up and it would all be a bad dream, but it's real.
Our President has not made the case to the American people as is his duty to do.
