You want us on the right to remember President Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment. Perhaps you should first get George Bush to honor it. He demonized those that pointed out Ms. Miers’s lack of qualifications as “sexist.” He demonized the Minutemen as “vigilantes.” He demonized those against the Dubai ports deal as anti-Arab and “nativist.” Course at the same time he had next to nothing to say about the elected bomb throwers within the Democrat party.
You object that some of us prefer to stand on principle instead of just meekly going along with whatever Bush wants by “compromising.” What else would you like to compromise about? How about this: abortion is OK as long as it is in the first two trimesters and an equal number of boy and girl babies are aborted. Oh, I know, how about this: all murder is second degree unless the prosecution can show that the killer had first committed a detailed plan to paper or his computer hard drive. Maybe we could compromise with the tens of thousands of MS-13 gang member that have entered our country illegally. They will only be prosecuted for crimes against LEGAL American citizens.
Wait until the media starts hiring illegals at below scale wages to write news and opinion columns and articles. Then I will expect to see ALL scribes close ranks and call for immediate and complete border control, regardless of thereby losing their nannies and gardeners and maids.
