Border Showdown

Reading and ripping the Senate immigration bill. Government unlimited. Thinkin' about Lincoln. Steel traps. Plus much more.

p> THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT br> Re: Bernard Chapin’s Is Demography Destiny? : /p> p>The last line in Mark Steyn’s interview that a government that can be everywhere at once is not a government to be desired; it is one to be feared comes from the same mould as Gerald R. Ford’s comment that a government that can give you everything you want can take away everything you have. That statement should be engraved on the heart of every conservative, next to Calvin Coolidge’s comment that is much more important to stop a bad law from being passed than it is to pass a good one. So many of George Bush’s policies fail to meet these two standards and it is a good reason why his record is so poor. br> — Christopher Holland br> Canberra, Australia /p> p> AMNESTY OUTRAGE br> Re: W. James Antle III’s Comprehensive Crack-Up?

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

By Robert H. Bork

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
