There is going to be amnesty for millions of illegals, as of tonight. That deranged man-child known as the President of the United States has seen to that and is practically laughing about it.
(And the Democrats in Congress were all too willing to help... with a little aid from too many Republicans.)
I have said it before, and I will say it again: if we cannot maintain strong borders and enforce them, then we are no longer a sovereign nation.
The two-party system is absolutely bankrupt of principle or any other value. I already knew that to be true of the Democrat party. And as of this week, it's glaringly obvious to all but those who choose to be most blind that it is true of the Republican party also.
Let's face it: when the "front runner" of the Republican party is a pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, pro-amnesty for illegals, pro-"nation building", pro-big government in every way, drag queen...
...there is something very, very wrong with things.
Oh, by the way, Republican party officials are trying to have Ron Paul BANNED from all future Republican presidential debates. Because Ron Paul (gasp!) had the audacity to tell the American people that our foreign policy is not working and perhaps, just perhaps, that is why bad things sometimes happens to America out there in the world.
Is "isolationist" really a bad thing to be? Is it too much to be expected of us that we kindly stay out of other countries' problems? Is it even meant for us to intervene in everything, anyway?
Speaking of the 2008 presidential race, James Dobson has said that he will not vote for Rudolph Guiliani. But it doesn't look like he's found anyone else to endorse, either. Which just indicates to me that much more that all this time, Dobson has been more interested in power than principle. There are at least two candidates just on the Republican side of things alone that should strongly merit his consideration, and quite a few other independents and "third party" candidates...
...except those are all "too fringe" to take seriously. Yes, a respected "Christian leader" has to greet the rich man and ignore those who are too poor: the ones who he has nothing to gain from by associating with them.
I can't believe that I almost went to work for that guy.
Hell I'll say it for all the world to see: I thank God every day now that He didn't let me go to Colorado to work for that hypocrite James Dobson. For one thing, because if I had moved out there then I would never have met my sweet and beautiful wife Lisa... who challenges me every day to live that much more for God. But for another thing, because I doubt if I would ever have been able to wash off the stink of Focus on the Family.
Don't think that my rancor at the Republicans exonerates the Democrats, bub. If "the drag queen" is supposed to be the GOP's cream of the crop, then I shudder far more so that it's Hillary Clinton who is expected to be on the Dems' side of the ticket come 2008.
I swear, if Hillary is elected President, I will expatriate my family out of the country and I will blast to Hell anyone who gets in my way.
Iraq is the biggest mistake this country has made of the past fifty years, and quite possibly more than that. We will be paying for that mistake for decades to come. The Iraqi parliament is about to take a two-month vacation. How many other people are inclined to believe that this is going to turn into an indefinite "leave of absence"?
There's more... oh yes there is much more... that I could rant about tonight. I mostly started this because I heard about the deal to give amnesty to the illegals. That was just in the last little while that news reached me about that. Before then I had spent a wonderful lil' evening with Lisa: talking about stuff, watching last night's episode of Lost again, having dinner. Seems like the bad stuff happens most when I'm not paying attention.
It's about time we all started paying some attention... what ya think of that?
Maybe more important than that, now that we know how totally screwed-up America is, and having come to realize that our political and even our religious "leaders" have utterly failed us...
...what exactly are we going to do about it?
Why was my comment removed?
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any comments at all on this post, until the one you just made. Maybe Blogger messed up...?
It's possible. (Heck, anything is possible with some of these programs!)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll try again.
I like your site, have ever since I stumbled on it accidently. But this one post/article brings something up that I've noticed.
Now, I would expect someone like Dobson (or any of several far-right types) to call Guilliani a "drag queen". It's typical of them, given their style and rather pronounced "anti-gay at any cost" mindset, and of those who've labeled John Edwards "the Breck Girl" because he's a little too pretty for their tastes.
I didn't really expect that from you, yet this isn't the first time you've made similar little trans-phobic seeming digs at someone on your website. Would you call Milton Berle a Drag Queen? (He spent a lot more time in drag than Guilliani has...) Would you stop watching Superman Two, or Lord of the Rings because Terrance Stamp played a transsexual or Hugo Weaving played a drag queen in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? Would you get rid of your Running with Scissors CD, because of Weird Al's Truck Driving Song?
Guilliani appeared in drag 3, maybe 4 times as a joke. To call him a "Drag Queen" is more what I would expect from Dobson, than from you (whether you would vote for him or not).
I read your post on the Westboro Baptist folks, so I really don't think you're homophobic or even anti-gay.
But I have to wonder what's up with the comments like this one, and a couple of others you've made, like the one on the Trans character on All My Children.
And before you ask, yes, I'm transgendered. I'm also a Star Wars fan (can remember the first night I saw it back in '78), Weird Al fan, among other things. Most importantly, I'm a human being, as are other trans folk.
Sorry to get so serious, but I felt like I needed to say something.
Jessica
Right on Chris. We differ only slightly on most issues and I think that is why I like you so much. We REALLY do need to get together soon.
