A Little Clarity
Everybody is up in arms about Trumps “shithole” comment.
I don’t care, I agree, it should be out there.
Step off your preening beautiful comfortable pedestal until you take a Somali or Haitian family into your own home for a few years, do that, and you have my full attention.
I didn’t vote for an angel, I voted for results….so far so good.

Dreamers Are Not Americans……
…..no matter how many times liberals lie to you and tell you they are. It’s not a concept cooked up by conservatives, it’s the law.

Eric Holder lectures us dumb hayseeds on the on what a Dreamer is….and he is wrong.
But Eric Holder nevertheless gets it wrong, as he is wont to do. “I’m calling on all Americans to see and treat dreamers as our own,” he writes, “because they are our own.” These individuals “should not be defined by their immigration status,” he claims. He quotes President Obama, who says that the dreamers are Americans “in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper.”
Well, gee, thanks for pointing out the obvious, professor.
Indeed, Obama gets it right: the dreamers are not Americans “on paper,” and so in that one profoundly critical way they are not Americans at all. That was the point of DACA in the first place: to offer deferred deportation to non-Americans. Natural-born and naturalized citizens of the United States were not the ones who took advantage of Obama’s executive order: it was illegal immigrants, non-citizens, that did so. It is not Trump who “defined them by their immigration status.” It was Obama.
Citizenship Matters, Whether We Like It Or Not
It is grating to have to point this out, though the deficiencies of our immigration debate tend to make it necessary to do so. We are, after all, a nation; as a nation we are composed primarily of a body politic made up of citizens. There are a great many among us who desire, in various incoherent ways, to do away with such distinctions—people who believe that simply arriving here, through whatever means, should qualify one for citizenship. Such a policy would essentially do away with the idea of citizenship altogether, rendering our country’s immigration policy to be the legislative equivalent of John Lennon’s turgid “Imagine.” Keep reading….
True Colors
Now, with President Obama’s unconstitutional DACA being eliminated, we see yet another example of masks falling. Many republicans will oppose the unlawful Obama DACA program being removed. This reality only amplifies the signs the Big Ugly confrontation is needed more than ever. It’s President Trump against a unified DC system.
And the masks come off.
Ryan had said during a radio interview on Friday that he didn’t think the president should terminate DACA, and that Congress should act on the issue.
“My hope is that as part of this process we can work on a way to deal with this issue and solve it through legislation, which is the right way to do it and the constitutional way to do it,” Rubio told CNN in June.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch joined Ryan in cautioning Trump against rolling back the program.
There is one political enterprise within Washington DC and national politics. There is only one enterprise. That enterprise is the UniParty. There is only one political party in Washington DC, with two internal caucuses – Republicans and Democrats. Keep reading…
As for Rubios claim that legislation is the “right way and constitutional way” to fix the issue, where was the legislation when Obama used his executive order to implement the program in the first place? Oh, that’s right, the conservative base doesn’t want amnesty so they lied and opposed DACA with a wink and a nod to Obama to go ahead with his liberal agenda.
There is no other explanation for their current position.
Long Legs And Brains
You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains. _ Crash Davis (Bull Durham)
Thought about this quote after watching this video. Don’t know about the long legs but she certainly has brains, not bad on the eyes either. h/t Ninety Miles
A Crazy World Gone Mad
Sometimes the truth is painful and the answers are few.
AFRICA is giving nothing to anyone outside Africa — apart from AIDS and new diseases. Even as we see African states refusing to take action to restore something resembling civilization in Zimbabwe, the Begging bowl for Ethiopia is being passed around to us out of Africa, yet again. It is nearly 25 years since the famous Feed The World campaign began in Ethiopia, and in that time Ethiopia’s population has grown from 33.5 million to 78+ million today. So, why on earth should I do anything to encourage further catastrophic demographic growth in that country? Where is the logic?
Sorry. My conscience has toured this territory on foot and financially. Unlike most of you, I have been to Ethiopia; like most of you, I have stumped up the loot to charities to stop starvation there. The wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a low IQ, AK 47-bearing moron, siring children whenever the whim takes him and blaming the world because he is uneducated, poor and left behind.
