‘Irresponsibility’ on Immigration
By George Will
“Misguided and irresponsible” is how Arizona’s new law pertaining to illegal immigration is characterized by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She represents San Francisco, which calls itself a “sanctuary city,” an exercise in exhibitionism that means it will be essentially uncooperative regarding enforcement of immigration laws. Yet as many states go to court to challenge the constitutionality of the federal mandate to buy health insurance, scandalized liberals invoke 19th-century specters of “nullification” and “interposition,” anarchy and disunion. Strange.
It is passing strange for federal officials, including the president, to accuse Arizona of irresponsibility while the federal government is refusing to fulfill its responsibility to control the nation’s borders. Such control is an essential attribute of national sovereignty. America is the only developed nation that has a 2,000-mile border with a developing nation, and the government’s refusal to control that border is why there are an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona and why the nation, sensibly insisting on first things first, resists “comprehensive” immigration reform.
Obama is a Bully
Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation!
By Gary Hubbell
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America’s future. He is the best thing ever.
Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America’s resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
That’s why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.
Obama to White and Asian Men, and Old People: Don’t Bother Voting in November
By Katie Pease
In his attempt to salvage any possibility of keeping democrats in power come November, Obama is scrambling around the country in support of the democratic candidates (since that worked so well with Martha Coakley). In this video, he is appealing to the “first-time” voters of 2008 who helped elect him. He specifically asks that “Young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women…stand together once again” at the polls in order to keep his administration in power at “all levels of government”. It is interesting to hear straight from the horse’s mouth that White and Asian men, plus old people need not participate in the new ObamaNation election process. Apparently in his new America, the only thing these people are good for is providing a group that the media can constantly accuse of racism.
What Mr. President does not realize is that he has already “connected” with thousands who have not usually been involved in politics- but not in the way that will get and keep his friends in office. Regular Americans have awakened since he took office and have been forced to engage in the political process because they have felt pushed against a wall by this administration. The Tea Parties are an evidence of this fact. They have given a voice to the everyday American who no longer wants Obama’s brand of “Hope and Change”.
