"The president is not on our side," Tancredo told the paper, complaining that Bush supports an "open door" border policy that could lead to another terrorist attack. "Then the blood of the people killed will be on this administration and this Congress."

He makes a comment like that and he can't understand why the Bush Administration is upset???

A bit strident yes but dead on? Absolutely.

Amazing isn't it?

However, Tancredo is stating the truth.

The man hit the nail on the head. That's what got Rove raving.


Liberalism must be crushed! ...not coddeled.
The idea is catching on.

Tancredo made the bold opening, then refined the definition of exactly what he was refering to.  Neither you, I or anyone can rationally refute these two sentences.

Look, we are not closing our borders.  Docks are seeing spys and known terrorists slipping into our nation.  Our southern border is wide open, with only a token force to stem illegal immigration.

You and I might like to support Bush on every issue, but on this one we simply cannot.  Why did we go to all the trouble to create a Homeland Defense office then completely ignore illegal immigration?  Why are we going to all the trouble to make our citizens jump through hoops just to take a flight, but we can't demand that foreign nationals go through a proper immigration screening process?  This should be obvious to anyone with an open mind.

When the day comes where US citizens are more concerned with loyalty to their man instead of to their nation, it won't be day at all.
The long cold night will have already begun.

To the Washington Times, no less. I can't help but think on how the Democrats keep their squabbles amongst themselves, presenting a united front. Would that the Republicans could do a little more of the same. I do agree that we should be guarding our borders more stringently, but a little more tactful persuasion within the ranks might be more useful.
