War of Wits

The right of Americans to choose their representatives through free elections is guaranteed. It has been secured by pen, it has been secured by sword. It has been earned through torrents of blood spilled on the battlefield by American patriots for centuries. But despite the supposed sanctity of that right, it is coming under increasing attack by the current generation of political leadership - whether it be a local elections department or the trifecta of the three branches of the US government.

Every now and then, patriotic Americans who are fed up with incompetent, lazy or heavy-handed public servants speak out or engage in acts of civil disobedience in order to expose flaws in the laws that govern us or the manner in which they are enforced. When these brave citizen soldiers do indeed expose waste, fraud or ineptitude, they ought to be celebrated, not punished. Which calls to mind the case of one such patriot, Jane Balogh from Federal Way, WA.

The most important element of any national security strategy is border security. Borders are one of the primary ways we are distinguished as a nation. A border is solemn. It is not an abstract notion; not something to be held as inconsequential or violated any time a foreigner chooses to do so. On June 10th, 2007, while Congress was ratcheting up the rhetoric to try and convince the American people it was serious about border security, I personally witnessed my borders being repeatedly violated by foreign nationals coming ashore undetected by law enforcement or military personnel. This time, the violators were probably the harmless crew of a foreign cargo vessel. Next time they could be al Qaeda-linked terrorists.

The US Senate’s latest attempt to destroy the United States through an epic tidal wave of immigration appears to be dying and will be pulled from consideration. So says Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)

Immediately upon word of this development, liberals pointed their bony little fingers at everything from the Minutemen to conservative talk radio for sinking the last best chance to restore the golden rule of law, bring justice to the land and bathe America in the glistening harmony of multiculturalism. The vote that might kill this bill was on a motion for cloture, or in my national language, to end the debate and proceed to a vote. Harry Reid is killing this bill, not Michael Savage.

“You put something like this out, its going to get picked apart by every yahoo and whoever those Minutemen people are on the border who can’t find a tee time.” - Bob Beckel, Democratic Strategist - Fox News 5/21/2007

“It reminds me of the old saying, ‘A camel is a horse produced by a committee’.” - Senator Byron Dorgan on the Senate floor 5/23/2007

Besides being the most dishonest discussion to come along in recent years, the heated debate over the US Senate’s poisonous immigration bill is getting uglier by the day. And rightfully so. House Minority Leader John Boehner called the legislation a “piece of shit”. I heartily agree. But when Americans who are gravely concerned about the fate of their country speak out against this piece of shit stinking up the Senate, jerks from all over the political spectrum start calling us names. Democratic strategist and Fox news regular Bob Beckel called anyone who disagrees with this bill stupid.
