It’s Official

in Bush Bad, Illegal Aliens

disappointmentAll these years, liberals were right about one thing: George Bush is an idiot. Video here.

What a disappointment. :sad: :x

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.”

Check out this exchange between a Republican donor and the RNC.

I’m a revolter! At times like this, I’m glad I don’t belong to the Republican party. No annoying phone calls (or junk mail) from the RNC. :?

To escape politics for a while, visit Fantasy Fiction for Christians.

Update II: Loyal reader Renee just told me Rush Limbaugh read part of an article I wrote on his show today. Excellent. :)

day labor centerSaturday, June 2: This post is closed to comments, but I still want to hear your stories. E-mail me at barbersview [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Please take time to read the comments. The stories are blood pressure-raising but important.

A commenter reminded me that the Social Security Administration can’t inform an employer that an employee may be unauthorized to work in the U.S. because of disclosure laws. I blogged about it here last year. Our bloated, taxpayer-supported agencies are not working together for America’s security.

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:

I wrote about Carol Swain, a liberal who has a few words for the Congressional Black Caucus, here:

Death to Pedophiles

May 29, 2007

Update: I like this idea from a commenter (emphasis in original): “In the 18th Century, England could send its ne’er-do-wells to Australia. It was a viable option to the death penalty. My variation on that is simple: send them to Antarctica. Send them there with a parka, a tent, a sleeping bag, and a week’s [...]

DOJ Sues FDNY

May 24, 2007

***Updates already! Scroll down*** According to our U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), asking minority job applicants of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) to display minimal reading comprehension and reasoning skills is racist. Because non-whites keep flunking an already watered down written employment examination, DOJ has filed suit against FDNY for discriminatory practices. An [...]

Notes on ‘The Rap on Culture’

May 22, 2007

Update III (5/23): I am SHOCKED that this piece made it into a newspaper. It’s the ugly, barely-reported truth. Update II: I forgot to mention a study that showed black students from intact “religious” families perform better in school than their counterparts. Also, choice is key. Libertarian Andrew Coulson notes that “the school system itself [...]

Amnesty-for-Illegal-Aliens Bill

May 21, 2007

I’ll have much more to say about the amnesty-for-illegal aliens bill and the puny-minded politicians who passed it. I’m so glad pro-enforcement Republican and conservative bloggers are revolting and making a ruckus over this putrid bill. NZ Bear at The Truth Laid Bear created an easy-to-browse version. Check it out. Hugh Hewitt and others are [...]

Sunday Morning TV

May 20, 2007

I was on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” today. Topics were the Department of Defense’s clampdown on milblogging and blocking access to sites like YouTube and MySpace on military computers, and users manipulating “most popular” and “most viewed” ratings on Digg and other sites. I was too nervous to tell anyone (except my mother, sister, and “friend”) [...]

In the beginning was the Word…

May 20, 2007

The Eternal Word …and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, [...]

Airwave Envy

May 17, 2007

Great article in The Politico yesterday about the Fairness Doctrine. The writer notes that liberals, unsuccessful on the radio talk show circuit, are trying to use the government to stifle opposing viewpoints, which the First Amendment was created to prevent. Envy is very unattractive. For my take on the so-called Fairness Doctrine, see Democrats Seek [...]
