No Amnesty for Nadler
Not a winning strategy for TAS readers. Inflation paranoia. Eurotrash spurned. Plus more.
(Page 4 of 4)
No matter how conservatism and the Republican Party got to this juncture, suggesting they become more moderate equals madness.
Still, you wonder, though: How would the past few years, and particularly this past election cycle in Congress and the White House, have been for both groups if the advocacy/adversary media had not chosen to jettison their ethics and professionalism and become hyper-biased, malicious Fifth Column they are?
Remember: Regardless of Obama’s numbers, it was just a few percent, 6 or so, of the electorate that swung the election to him. It was neither the landslide nor the mandate he and his tribe think it is.
Just 3 or 4 percent swinging back will unseat him and his fellow liberals and leftists. That’s achievable, given the train wreck he and the Democrats have already engineered.
If I may, the time to surrender conservative values has never been more inappropriate than now. And indeed, forget the undertakers.
But, put away the kid gloves, though not civility and common
sense, and become street fighters as the opposition was and
is.

What fun. Reading the letters (which, so often, trump the articles/columns which initiated said letters) and thinking to one's own self, "gee, that sounds like a David Bonn letter," and scrolling down to see, yeah, sure'nuff, 't'was he. And the other eloquent guys, thanks!
I have missed Diane and Beverly though...

The more I hear of ObamaBabble, the more I feel like a NA$CAR fan up in the bleachers, hot dog in one hand and beer in the other, watching for the Big Smash and the yellow flag so I can go to the washroom.
I am also remembering why I really do not like NA$CAR.

c'mon guys, dontcha know this a nation of immigrants?
get with the program!
frost| 2.25.09 @ 9:45AM
Right, Alan. And my grandparents came through Ellis Island about 125 years ago, legally. And my wife needed to get her Visa so she could come to America with her husband (she was from Sweden, and applied for citizenship about 4-5 minutes after being legally able to do so.....).
So, Alan -- your point was...?
Alan Brooks| 2.25.09 @ 10:25AM
my point is you guys are wacists!
you are wacially motivated! open the border up, let all our buddie-wuddies from sunny Latin America into America. get with the program.
Let the dam burst!

Michael Tomlinson: Right on, brother. Of the witless monetary drains this nation participates in, none strum my internal tuning mechanism more gratingly than our perpetual european military protectorate. Uncompensated(the bastards don't even pay for our chow)'disrespected (never mind that they don't like us) and frankly, utterly unsupported(France can't even field (or maybe, float, a single carrier without rupturing their treasury). This pusillanimous collection of geographical parasites is busy self-destructing and we pick up the tab to protect them. From whom, I'd trow? The RUSKIES? C'mon' their tired old plutocrats are just trying to make a buck. As long as it's not getting my guys shot, why should we be more interested than their neighbors? Best, Judge E

They are here because the "Trust Funders" need them to work in the small industries they still control. These 3rd and 4th generation "coupon clippers" are both Republicans and Democrats.
I live in Paul Kanjorski's congressional district. It has a long history of recruiting low wage industries in order to keep the local wage base as low as possible. The hispanics that settle here are from the Dominican Republic and from countries south of Mexico. (This can be confirmed by talking to the County Public Defenders-There are very few Mexican's here!) Mexico refuses to allow them entry there! The are, for the most part, half literate in Spanish and completely illiterate in English. The cost to educate their children in the local school districts is enormous. But they will work for $7.00 an hour without any benefits. Their wife's stay home with the children and get Food Stamps and Medicaid.
Kanjorski has a very gerrymandered, heavily Democratic district but he still lost in his home county, which bears the brunt of this hispanic invasion. I don't think that he carried his home town of Nanticoke! He carried the city of Scranton by a comfortable margin and the Pocono Mountain region, which has large enclaves of black voters who vote the straight democratic ticket and commute to work in Northern New Jersey and New York City. These areas are not affected by the economic consequences caused by the hispanic influx to the jobs and Real Estate markets in Kanjorski's home, Luzerne County.

Geez, Alan, what's with you? So what do you propose we do? I know you're a smarty pants, so don't BS me, please. I am a fan of yours, you know.
ruth| 2.25.09 @ 10:20PM
It's hard to be civil when morons are calling you a white-sheeted nazi. Street fighters, indeed.
Alan Brooks| 2.25.09 @ 10:24PM
what do i propose, ruth? call National Guard out to the border until the boys from the mideast come home.
ruth| 2.27.09 @ 10:41PM
Good idea, Mr. Brooks! What about the illegals already here?
