There is no doubt, I hope, that the
current economic and social conditions of the United States of
America is in very bad straights. There is nothing inevitable about
our current condition, because life is full of possibilities. The
President has a wide horizon of actions that he can take. Mr. Obama
has made his choices.
Our nation is in bad condition, and as
such, we are told that replacing the current occupant of the
Executive Office is a slam dunk. Really? We Republicans have a
milquetoast, moderate, Country-Club, plain vanilla politician as our
nominee for President in a moment in history where we need an Abraham
Lincoln and not a Snicker's Bar.
What is the biggest obstacle to having
the occupant of the White House having an 'R' after his name? You
guessed correctly: Karl Rove and the Bushies. If you simply talk to
the voters honestly, you cannot lose. You will lose if you tilt at
windmills and fine tune your message to the latest Fox News trend and
try to 'moderate' your political party's beliefs. This is a lesson
that Mr Rove does not seem to understand. The more Republicans obey
Rove, the more it is likely that Republicans will lose, and lose
rather badly (yes, I know: he controls nearly a billion $$$ of
super-PAC money).
Illegal Immigrants
Just the mention of the above term
makes one a pariah by the Bushies. For me, this is a shibboleth. We
absolutely cannot permit these kinds of peoples a 'get out of jail
card' for free. The American ideal is complete equality, your family
history and perceived previous political repression not withstanding.
There are many worthy people in line who desperately want to become
a citizen of the United States of America. Shoving illegals who broke
the rules up to the front of the line is simply not fair.
Note to Rubio
Truth and fairness is the touchstone of
our great country. No one lords it over another because of his/her
privilege/race/history/family-provenance. Can you understand that,
Mr. Rubio? Can you understand that protecting a special group and
giving them amnesty is wrong, even if it is your own group?
Final Thought
Unless Republicans have the huevos to
discard the influence of the likes of the Bushies and Rove and Rubio,
January 2013 will not be a happy day. The reason why they are pushing
amnesty so hard among the Republicans is that they have seen the
demographic charts and graphs, and know that the Hispanic % of the
population (who traditionally vote D) will sky-rocket in coming
years. They figure that if the R's go for amnesty, they will be
grateful and vote R. The real way to gain their support is to be
loudly and proudly and prominently and unwaveringly pro-life. See,
they are mostly Catholic, and that is how we will win their hearts
and votes.
