If the debate continues as it is going, the radical immigrants (La Raza) and the isolationists will create such an atmosphere of emotion it will never be resolved. Victor Davis Hanson has the right take on this, which is the immigrants who marched were not necessarily hurting their cause - until they waved Mexican […]
My fellow Wacther’s Council member Dymphna at Gates of Vienna has news about a truck driving school in Kansas City seeing a wave of Somalis all of a sudden taking driving lessons:
In a way, trucks are of more concern than planes. They are ubiquitous, a commonplace in our everyday landscape. They pass us all […]
And on immigration, I cannot be in any better company than standing with The Anchoress:
More importantly - for the soul of America - Are we going to put together massive trains and - at gunpoint - load these people and head them south? Is this what we want America to be?
We have to […]
I was reading this great article on progress in Iraq at American Thinker when I had a bit of an epiphany regarding something the anti-war left always harps on - unchallenged.
At least maybe up until now. I am tired of hearing how we were never greeted by smiling,cheering Iraqi’s in the streets. The […]
** Update: Jeff at Protein Wisdom has shared my perspective on the entire NSA-FISA issue from the beginning and is always worth reading on the matter - mainly because he writes better than I do! End update.
Powerline, enjoying the fruits of having the transcript of the FISA hearings, has found a segment of testimony […]
Editor & Publisher thinks they have detected a possible ‘historic’ shift in who considers themselves Democrat and Republican. Here is the headline:
Gallup: In Shift, More Americans Now Call Themselves Democrats
Here is the data:
Republicans had gained the upper hand in recent years, but 33% of Americans, in the latest Gallup poll, now call themselves […]
** Update: Calrice Feldman (who I neglected to mention as providing me the lead on this story in the first place) notes that the NY Times is reporting this differently (big surprise there) and that Powerline is looking into the discrepency. Thanks Clarice! End update.
** Update: It sounds like the Washington Times may be […]
I am ill equipped to add to what The Anchoress has to say on any subject, so I suggest fglks just head on over to see what she has to say about tolerance and Abdul Rahman.
Reader MJW posted a detailed timeline at Tom Maguire’s site on key events regarding Libby and Plame that deserves much more exposure (here is the most interesting part of the timeline to me):
01/28/03 State of the Union speech
05/06/03 Kristof column
05/29/03 Libby allegedly asks Grossman for information about Wilson’s trip
06/01/03 to 07/08/03 Harlow allegedly […]
Clarice sent me a heads up on this posting by Fedora at Free Republic regarding the Clinton administration and China - a must read.
** Update: Clarice Feldman thought I gave this story more credit than it was due, so if she was confused on my feelings it is clear I need to clarify. The story seems to be all propaganda. The only thing that gives it any credibility is the fact is this would be the kind of […]
** Update: More good thoughts on supporting workers, not handing out citizenship, at American Thinker.
** Update: Seems I will have my choice after all:
The Senate Judiciary Committee last night approved a plan that would put millions of illegal aliens on a path to U.S. citizenship, would let them stay here while applying and would not […]
When Judge Robertson quit the FIS Court last fall and became part of the NY Times leak of the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program, many people claimed the judge left in protest. Well, Robertson supposedly said is he left because the NSA leads where being used to request FISA warrants on possible terrorist in the […]
On March 11th I posted on the how great a day we had when one of the twins learned to ride a two wheeler. Well Saturday the other twin took to the streets as she too learned the fun of riding a bike. It still amazes me how fast it happens, in the […]
I like Junkyard Blog a lot - so it pains me to point out this idea of rounding up illegals because immigrants protest is just the kind of unconstitutional hysteria I was saying we can do without in this country:
Here’s an idea. The next time they have one of these big rallies, send in the […]
