Hot Off the Presses

Tim Maguire, AP writer is reporting in a story released yesterday here that Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts said Monday that:

failing to pass immigration reforms would push illegal immigrants into isolation and create breeding grounds for homegrown terrorists.


Are y'all getting this? Let me break it down for you:

'Failure to pass immigration reforms;' that is failure to pass the Senate amnesty bill will result in, according to the senior Senator from Massachusetts, pushing illegal immigrants into isolation, and this in turn will create breeding grounds for homegrown terrorists.

Is there no limit to which these people will resort to get their measures passed? Do tell Mr. Kennedy, why is it necessarily that failure to pass amnesty legislation for illegal Mexican nationals will result in what you're saying? Once more I ask you, Sir, why is it that passage of the Senate's legislation would prevent these things from happening?

And he and the President are all chummy on this'n too. I'm so glad to see that Senator Kennedy was finally killed by the President's early kindess toward him, aren't you? Some folks are just hard sells I guess.

Sometimes I wonder whether these folks have any clue as to how the cause/effect relationship works. If a free people decide that they're not comfortable with granting a huge number of illegals and other immigrants amnesty and effective citizenship status this means of course that their isolationist tendencies will create related short and long term problems for themselves that they just cannot foresee, nor that they can deal with effectively when the proverbial crap hits the fan.

So we have to yield to them through our great and illustrious Senate, the members of which we've elected to grab us by the collective hand and pull us out of the way of the oncoming danger. We should be good little children and obey our parents who know better than we do about these things because after all they're of course more knowledgable in these areas than we little people are.

But these people have no predisposition to preference to their own ethnicity do they? Most certainly not! They come to America in droves because they're freedom loving, fair minded people just like you and me. They're just trying to escape the impoverished state they found themselves in (through no fault of their own) in their native country.

But wait! Weren't they isolated there, from their non freedom loving brethren? Weren't the actual 'breeding grounds' for 'homegrown' terrorists created in the country that isolated them from the blessings of liberty that extremist American isolationists are so immorally protective over?

Somehow I'm reminded of the immortal and the rather prophetic words of Noah Webster:

...Numbers of them come here with violent prejudices against arbitrary government, and they seem to make no great distinction between arbitrary government and a government of laws founded on free elections.


One wonders whether our 'leaders' know the difference.

It's stuff like this that makes me want to strap a bomb to myself and blow myself up ... just myself, noone else.

Actually, that reminds me. This morning, I heard something about an idea brewing in the Pentagon centered around the idea of granting full citizenship to illegal aliens (and their families perchance) if they were to be so kind as to sign up for 2 years of military servitude to the United States.

I believe this is the answer to the question: "What is the fastest way to grow Al-Q cells within your own military?" I will try to find the story ... ah, here 'tis...

Kennedy The Lesser confirms once and for all what a traitor he is.

Not surprised, yet disgusted.

P.S. Mom, wouldn't you just love to debate one of these idiots?

P.P.S. Samuel, you're a student of history... didn't the Greeks or Romans do something similar with disastrous consequences, or am I just thinking of a screenplay that I should write?

If I am, then I'm one of the miscreants in the back row hurling spitballs at the backs of you geniuses up front with your arms constantly in the air, "Pick me, Mrs. Crabapple, I'm ever so smart!"

I was in fact the Romans.

Although the Spartans did hire Persian mercenaries and triremes to finally conquer the Athenians and "end" the "Peloponnesian" War, the Greeks would need to reunify to defeat the Persians--again--but under the strong and brutal arm of a Macedonian.

A dozen decades or so later (either my math or my history is foggy here), the Romans assimilated the Greeks, who they considered to be a far better culture than their own. Eventually, as I said, the Romans grown fat, corrupt, and overweening, began to founder in the face of the onslaught of the barbarian hordes, panicked, and hastened their doom partly by hiring foreign legions who had not sworn due alegiance.

Sorry for going long there. Next session will be short, but don't forget to study, there will be a test.

I was not the Romans. IT was in fact the Romans. I was in fact a Republican.

Samuel,

As I thought, and thanks for the refresher history lesson. It might benefit the readership to do brief pieces on the great Republics and how they failed (from not protecting their borders and culture). Not that I'm handing out assignments or anything, after all you're the Prof.

LOL, I didn't think you was the Romans.

Why does he keep using the past tense? hmmm. ;)

Terry Morris said...

Oh yeah, ditto here on the short history lessons. And I am handing out assignments to the professor. After all, professor, we ain't payin' you the big bucks, nor were you provided a classroom and a podium to horde all that knowledge unto yourself. ;)
