Illegal Immigration: McCain’s Expediency Didn’t Work, So Why Not Try Being Principled?


Enforce the law

La Raza is demanding that Barack Obama provide amnesty to all illegal aliens, which the Democrat fully intends to do in hopes that millions of new Hispanic voters will help re-elect him. If amnesty past is prologue, there will follow an illegal immigration surge in preparation for the next amnesty.

John McCain took an unprincipled stand on illegal immigration, gambling that any conservative votes he lost on the issue would be offset by a flood of grateful Hispanic supporters. He was wrong. By embracing the phony “Comprehension Immigration Reform”, McCain did alienate the Republican base, but Hispanics still supported Obama two to one.

As David Brooks and other pseudo Republicans declare that conservative principles must be abandoned to achieve electoral success, McCain’s experience proves exactly the opposite. The Democrats may have the votes to impose more illegal immigration upon the American people, but Republicans should take a principled stand and make the case that rewarding lawbreakers is not The Change We Have Been Waiting For.

The Progressive Tax Code Is Killing The Conservative Movement


Those who don't pay federal taxes disproportionately support socialism

It is no accident that the decrease of conservative political power has coincided with the increase of workers who are not obligated to pay federal taxes. As a result of recent tax reforms, forty-six percent of employed Americans no longer pay any federal tax. With almost half the workforce freed from the responsibility of footing the government’s bills, the electorate is more receptive than ever to the siren song of big government.

Not long ago, American voters would have recoiled at Barack Obama’s stated intention to increase dramatically the federal budget…because they would have had to pay for it. Now, liberals can play Santa Claus secure in the knowledge that almost half of voters are craving a free lunch.

Since conservatives are loathe to increase taxes so that the freeloaders must again shoulder some responsibility for funding government, it is imperative that Republicans make implementing a universal flat tax the centerpiece of their resurrection.

The Cult Of The Maximum Leader


Oh, come let us adore Him

On Monday, historian Michael Beschloss declared that Barack Obama is the “smartest man ever to become a president”. Given that Thomas Jefferson was a president, Beschloss proved only that he is the dumbest man ever to become a historian. In a nation that values sanity, Beschloss would now be involuntarily residing at the Giggling Academy. Instead, he is a valued member of the huge chorus competing to see who can sing most loudly the praises of Our Great Obama, hallowed be His name.

The obsequious hyperbole of Beschloss and countless others who are Obama’s courtiers must seem familiar to Americans who emigrated from totalitarian countries, places like Romania where the leader was hailed as a God. America is increasingly resembling such beset lands, with the Maximum Leader shielded from dissent by a slavish media and abetted by an opposition that is ostensible at best.

Never has an emperor been more obviously naked than is Barack Obama, but never has an establishment been so determined not to notice. The media spent the campaign hiding Obama scandals while inventing scandals for his opponents. Now, journalists are declaring that this great historical figure heroically faces the most serious challenges imaginable: an economic collapse accompanied by simultaneous wars.

Only a titan could summon the courage to address such peril. Fortunately, the media assures, Barack Obama is just such a titan.

After The Next Census, Hell Will Receive A Huge Increase In Electoral Votes


As the political class dies, property values in Hades are going to skyrocket

America may be experiencing a shortage of cheap energy, but the United States is brimming with a record supply of political reprobates. The following is just a partial list of those who should seriously considering purchasing asbestos undergarments as they enter the afterlife:

People who earn their filthy lucre by pretending to be conservative: Rumor has it that at this very moment, Satan is constructing the spacious new Peggy Noonan Wing Of Hell, which is conveniently situated right between the Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot complexes.

The inmates Of The Asylum For The Maliciously Insane, also known as “MSNBC”: Dear Chris Matthews, in hell that tingling feeling running down your leg will be Jeffrey Dahmer having lunch.

So Open Minded Their Brains Have Fallen Out Of Their Heads


Americans pat themselves on the backs for electing a black (radical) president

Americans of all backgrounds are hailing themselves for being admirably tolerant after having elected a black president. Even conservative commentators like Laura Ingraham claim to have cried at witnessing Obama’s ascension to the presidency, seeing as how it demonstrated that the American people are no longer the vile racist Deliverance-type hillbillies that establishment denizens always knew they were.

Never mind that race has nothing to do with the current media euphoria…does anyone seriously believe journalists would be swooning about “a great historical moment” had Clarence Thomas just been elected? No, Thomas is treated disdainfully because he is a conservative…skin color notwithstanding.

This moment of Fourth Estate giddiness accompanies the election of a left wing Saul Alinsky radical to the White House, rendering pitiful all those conservatives at National Review Online who are expressing profound good feeling about this “great historical moment”.

This is the moment that the Anti-Reagan Revolution begins, so if I join Ingraham in sobbing those will not be tears of joy streaming down my face.

A Who’s Who Of Who Hates Hebrews


Live and never learn

The American electorate is considering flinging itself over Niagara Falls to teach George W. Bush a cruel lesson. Should this masochistic insanity occur, Barack Obama apparently will appoint Arafat Boy Toy Dennis Ross to oversee the deconstruction of the Zionist Entity.

Ross spent the Clinton years insisting that Yasser Arafat was the postmodern George Washington, an historical figure exemplifying peace and humanity. During that time, Arafat continuously pursued his goal of replicating the Holocaust. As Ross insisted (with a straight face yet) that one Palestinian hand knows not what the other does, Arafat’s homicidal Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades visited unprecedented bloodshed upon Israeli civilians.

Now, with Rashid Khalidi’s soul mate pounding on the White House door, Dennis Ross is poised for a reprise.

When Did Michael Moore Appropriate The Byline “George Will”?


John the careless? More like George the clueless.

George Will again is using his column to argue that John McCain is highly imperfect. In today’s Washington Post, Will asserts that McCain is “careless”, as evidenced by the fact that his running mate provided an overly simplistic explanation of the vice presidency…to seven year olds.

That Barack Obama is a radical masquerading as a moderate is of such little interest to Will that the columnist obsesses about McCain’s “carelessness”.

Yet McCain is insufficiently careless to lie about his votes on taxes and spending and national defense and abortion. McCain also lacks the carelessness needed to associate with racists and terrorists and traitors. And when it comes to being careless about accepting illegal campaign contributions, McCain has failed there as well…he has carefully obeyed the law.

Even so, George Will is on a jihad to get Barack Obama elected president. Alongside accomplices Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, and an appallingly large mob of pseudo conservative talking (re: empty) heads, Will sees McCain as being worthy of eviscerating criticism, whereas Obama receives a free pass.

Obama Supporters Proclaim “Palin Is A C***”; Media Erupts in Indignant Silence


The farce continues

Dennis Prager has posted on his blog a photograph of Obama supporters who attend Sarah Palin rallies wearing shirts emblazoned with “Palin Is A C*“.

http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-supporters-call-sarah-palin-cnt.html

Michelle Malkin had done yeoman work in documenting the malicious derangement afflicting the Give Peace A Chance crowd:

Yet as the left spews its psychotic bile, the media screams about the (nonexistent) Republican campaign of hatred and bigotry…bigotry being defined as failure to toe the left wing line.

America has entered Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, where up is down and in is out and reality is nevermore.

An “Honorable Loser”? What Is “Honorable” About Not Trying To Win?


Going down to defeat meekly is hardly heroic

“Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.”

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/11/report-mccain-palin-at-odds-over-how-hard-to-hit-obama/

After watching in exasperation as McCain flails ineffectually, this report sure rings true.

So who is requesting that McCain behave “dishonorably” Is this McCain and Salter’s misperception of what conservatives are demanding? That candidly identifying Obama as a radical-feigning-moderation somehow constitutes dishonorable conduct?

I HATE MODERATE REPUBLICANS!

We’ve seen this movie before, and it has a most unhappy ending. In 1996, war hero Bob Dole decided that losing “gracefully” was the proper thing to do. He did not fight. He laid down and died, in the process betraying those who nominated him.

To paraphrase someone who never quit, “Here we go again.”

Richard Dreyfuss’ America


Moral Entropy Run Amok

Decades ago, Richard Dreyfuss said during an interview that the United States is the main catalyst for world evil. I vividly remember reading and re-reading that interview, trying (in vain) to understand how anyone could be so morally obtuse.

Years later, Dreyfuss traveled to the West Bank and broke bread with Hamas. This event was surprising only because one expects that even genocidal terrorists will have higher standards about whom they invite for lunch. Dreyfuss declared that Israel was the primary source of Middle Eastern evil.

Small wonder that when the movie “Jaws” was released, all the finest people were rooting for the shark.

Richard Dreyfuss now says that Barack Obama will be “the best president America ever had”. That disordered statement is certainly understandable: if you are a psychotic who believes the villains of the world are the United States and Israel, Obama is definitely your kind of guy.

But when did a majority of Americans descend into madness?

Ifill The Impartial


Completely objective (but not at the expense of being totally biased)

“Welcome to tonight’s vice presidential debate. I am your moderator, Gwen Ifill. As determined by a coin toss, the first question will be addressed to Senator Biden. Senator, do you agree with all intelligent people that Barack Obama will be a great president?”

Biden: “In all honesty, Gwen, you should direct that question towards Hillary Clinton, who is infinitely more qualified to be vice president than a gasbag like me.”

Ifill: “Mayor Palin…”

Palin: “That would be Governor Palin.”

Ifill: “Mayor Palin, you enjoy shooting guns and killing defenseless beings. Do you have a plausible alibi for November 22, 1963?”

Palin: “I was not yet born.”

Ifill: “Hmmm. Kind of weak. Okay, see if you can give a better answer to this one: Why should Americans want a vice president who is obviously white trash?”

Awake, Senator McCain


Or the Obama nightmare will soon be inflicted upon America

John McCain is sleepwalking towards defeat against an incredibly vulnerable opponent. During the debate, McCain chose not to mention that the current subprime lending crisis was initiated by Barack Obama and other congressional Democrats demanding that banks provide mortgages to uncreditworthy low income home buyers. The liberal objective was “making home ownership possible for the disadvantaged”. Now, the poor will get to keep homes they cannot afford, because when they default on their mortgages the middle class will assume the debt. That redistribution of wealth was always the end game envisioned by Chris Dodd and Barney Frank (and Obama). It sure would be nice if the Republican presidential nominee informed voters that Mister Change and his progressive accomplices created this socialized housing nightmare, and that they are pining to inflict even greater pain with a socialized medicine nightmare.

But McCain missed more than just one opportunity to hammer Obama into submission. Consider the neophyte’s proposal to send the American military into Pakistan.

“Erratic” Beats “Unpatriotic” Every Time


The Democrats Sink To An Appalling New Low

Yesterday, the House Republicans sought to promote a bill that would avert a financial system meltdown while protecting the taxpayers. The GOP insurance plan was quickly rejected by Congressional Democrats, who have something else in mind: allowing the system to collapse while blaming John McCain.

Rarely has megalomania so neatly dovetailed with sedition.

Loving Sarah Palin


The Woman With All The Right Enemies

I love Sarah Palin, and not in a small way. If my love for Governor Palin were a planet, it would be Jupiter. I love her for what she is, but I love her even more for what she is not. She is not Gloria Steinem nor Sally Quinn nor Maureen Dowd, all of whom hate her the way vampires hate sunshine. She is also not Keith Olbermann, and for this I love her enormously. Not being Keith Olbermann is a really cool thing.

I love Sarah Palin for her enemies. How can one unassuming rural mother of five so quickly manage to be hated by every pompous pseudo journalist and seething racial demagogue and feckless appeasement monkey and secular infanticidist and braying psychotic actress in the entire lower forty-eight? It took the great Ronald Reagan years to develop his vast coterie of left wing haters. Sarah has done it in three weeks.

They’re Talking About Sarah


Selected quotes from kings and knaves

“Why is it a genius move? It will complete the alienation of the rest of the Hillary supporters from the Obama camp. How? That’s easy — the Obamabots will do it themselves. Go read the Washington Post blog or anywhere online where the Palin pick is being discussed, and you’ll see the trademark Obama misogyny already out in full force. She’s been on the ticket for two seconds and already the Obamabots are saying she “looks like a porn star,” they’re making rude remarks about her childbearing, they’re ridiculing her intelligence.

Keep it up, possums. Keep it up. Just when some Hillary supporters were trying to forget what misogynist freaks you all are, now you’re going to remind us all over again.” *Instapundit *

“Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain’t run nothin’ but his mouth.” Mark Steyn

The Democratic Convention Abridged


It's already Halloween in Denver

Monday Night: Before our very eyes, Michelle Obama morphs from being Eldridge Cleaver into being June Cleaver. In the past, she viewed the United States as hell on Earth…only worse. Now she loves America more than George Washington ever did. Holy expedient transformation, Batman!

Tuesday Night: Hillary Clinton puts on her red shoes, desperately hoping that come November she will be dancing on Barack Obama’s political grave. Hillary technically endorses The One, but with all the enthusiasm of Kim Goldman endorsing O.J. Simpson. One gets the impression that John McCain already has a couple of Chappaqua votes in the bag.

McCain Should Hang Bush Around Obama’s Neck Like A Millstone


It is excessive federal spending that ails the economy

Barack Obama has gained traction by claiming that John McCain is running for the third Bush term. Yet when it comes to the profligate government spending and fiscal irresponsibility that has damaged the economy, it is Obama who more closely resembles Bush. The Democrat has proposed massive new spending programs along with huge tax increases that will not pay for the new programs. Under an Obama administration, the deficit is guaranteed to skyrocket, causing the dollar to plunge ever lower and the purchasing power of Americans to plunge with it.

To an electorate most concerned about the economic future, McCain should be emphasizing that replacing George W. Bush with Barack Obama constitutes jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

They’re Alive! They’re Alive!!


Republicans (Finally) On The Attack

On a day when unemployment reached a four year high, John McCain had Democrats wailing not about the economy but about “The One”…an ad that properly identifies Barack Obama as being an egomaniacal empty suit. At the same time, Congressional Republicans seized the initiative and humiliated Nancy Pelosi on two counts: her unpopular anti-energy stance and her totalitarian parliamentary stance. Just hours after the government reported unfavorable economic news, it was the Democrats who found themselves on the defensive.

Cool. Apparently, reports of a conservative demise were somewhat premature.

Obama In Wonderland


Apologizing to Germans for America's depravity

The part of Barack Obama’s Berlin speech that the media most adored contained his apology for grotesque American immorality. Obama decried our nation’s penchant for hegemony and unilateralism and torture. The sack cloth and ash routine inspired his audience of drunken German teenagers with the prospect that once he becomes commander-in-chief the United States military will no longer impale Third World grandmothers in the Iron Maiden.

There is something vaguely surrealistic about an American presidential candidate apologizing to Germans for historical misdeeds. Way back when (in the middle of the last century), the United States military saved the world from being enslaved by Nazis. Admittedly, this obscure conflict occurred before Senator Obama was born, and in the William Ayers case the media established the precedent that the junior senator from Illinois is unaccountable for knowing anything that happened before he attained puberty. Nevertheless, most American citizens have heard of World War II and the Holocaust, so Obama really should know that we need not apologize to Germans for behaving badly.

When Expediency Fails, Integrity Is A Good Fall Back Position


The Pew Research Center poll shows that Barack Obama currently leads John McCain 66%-23% among Hispanic voters. This finding represents a mortal bow to the moderate Republican concept that abandoning conservative principle yields electoral success.

By pandering to La Raza and the illegal alien lobby, McCain has alienated conservatives who believe that enforcing immigration laws is an essential element in maintaining sovereignty and securing national security. Simultaneously, he has failed abysmally with voters who think that the United States is an imperialistic land thief possessing no historical right to territorial boundaries. Those voters know that Obama does not just pretend to embrace their malignant anti-American views…he passionately embraces them.
