All these years, liberals were right about one thing: George Bush is an idiot. Video here.
What a disappointment.
Addendum: The backlash begins. (Thanks, Renee!)
Update (6/1): President George W. Bush will go down in history as the man who ushered in a dramatic demographic shift that turned the United States into a Third World country, with a disappearing middle class, another poorly educated and poor underclass (this one much larger than the other and Spanish-speaking), and a wealthy, insulated, gated-community elite.
And I voted for him. Twice. I voted for Clinton twice, too, but I’m more ashamed of voting for Bush.
Peggy Noonan writes: “What conservatives and Republicans must recognize is that the White House has broken with them. What President Bush is doing, and has been doing for some time, is sundering a great political coalition. This is sad, and it holds implications not only for one political party but for the American future.”

Now that conservatives see how serious King George is about passing an amnesty-for-illegal-aliens bill instead of deporting people in the country illegally, they’re becoming bolder and beginning to talk about the cultural impact of millions of illegal, non-assimilating, non-English-speaking, foreigners who drink, drive, and kill people because of their “culture,” loiter outside stores, urinate in public, live 20 to a single-family house, park cars in front yards, litter, and…
Well, this conservative is talking about it. And so is Ann Coulter. Once upon a time, only “racists” and “nativists” talked about the importance of culture to a nation. And national unity. And shared language. And common values. And identity. Now it’s gone mainstream. It’s about time.
I won’t editorialize the point. I’ve done so here:
