Republicans…” Bush Has Singlehandedly Destroyed Our Party”

20 05 2007

Cross posted from StikNstein…has no mercy

FOLLOWING ARE COMMENTS FROM THE FIFTY OR SO BLOGS STIK VISITS DAILY.

Remember, these are Conservative blogs with conservative readers. For the last few years most of these folks have been ardent supporters of the President and the Conservative perspective.

We tend to be principled pragmatists as are most Americans. Our leadership has zombied out and we can see it…..it’s agonizing.

This latest blow (the immigration Bill fiasco) is very real to Americans. Our leaders have lost their minds if they think they can get this past us. Their change is obvious and is beginning to meet real resistance.
We’re tough too. Most of us can admit our mistakes and move on and make wiser decisions based on our mistakes. Americans understand that and are willing to accept us because they understand we are all imperfect.
Watching these readers perspective move from loyalty to skepticism to cynicism and now to disgust has been disheartening but enlightening…and in some ways reassuring.
Rather than excusing the abandonment of principle by the people they elect, they are confronting and rejecting it.

SO……Bush has failed as a conservative leader and he’s dragging us down. His ecstatic support of this sorry excuse for a solution to our immigration problems is gut wrenching for those Americans who believe in common sense, equity and the rule of law.

The Republican disaffection has been a result what our representatives are doing…it is the abandonment of the ideals of the people they claim to represent. The best example were the slate of idiots buffoons and pretty boys we presented to the American people last November. There wasn’t a one in the bunch that inspired passion or vision. Worse than that, they were lying to us saying they were “Bona fide”…..and they weren’t….and now they’re proving it.
They’re becoming the things of our nightmares.
2004_shaun_of_the_dead_wallpaper_01.jpg

It’s as if an entire city of men and women who once were respected and trusted by millions of Americans has become an army of arm flailing, zombified Republicans staggering aimlessly around Washington moaning…..”BRAINS….WE NEED BRAINS.”
They sure could use some, but their base is no longer willing to cut them any slack.

They have become our enemy……..

These commenters love the Republican Party. It used to stand for the things they believed in. The immigration Amnesty Bill is Bushes last attempt to gain some kind of legacy. If it passes with the help of leaders who have abandoned the majority of Americans, he will have his legacy.
It won’t be pretty.

The Immigration bill is one of the single worst pieces of legislation I have ever read. It’s so poorly written and so full of loopholes and inconsistencies it almost appears to be intentionally crafted to fail. The people who wrote it and those who support it are plain and simple lying to us. A clear majority of Americans don’t support it’s main premise….Amnesty for a group of people who intentionally broke our laws and continue to do so with impunity.
And if that’s not enough………It’s so sloppily written, it wont even do the BAD things it is intended to do!

AND WE KNOW IT…………

Republicans…….

READ WHAT YOUR SUPPORTERS HAVE TO SAY :

**********************
Under the proposed plan, an illegal alien can apply for a “Z” Visa without paying any penalties, and renew the “Z” visa in perpetuity. So, they get to stay here, pay no fine, and suffer no penalty for breaking the law……AMNESTY!

(illegal immigrants) are unable or unwilling to solve the problems of the political or economic system back in their home country. They recognize they can sneak across our borders or come here with a visa and disappear into the woodwork when it expires and exploit our system…..Our conservative leaders for reasons of greed and or power are embracing them.

I just emailed the McCain campaign:
Congratulations Mr. McCain! You have succeeded in energizing the conservative base!
Unfortunately, you have energized them against YOU

If the Democrats want to impeach Bush at this point, I wouldn’t care.

Why would Hiliary Clinton and Barak Hussein Bin Obama support impeaching Bush now that he’s become one of them

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
Amnesty is the hamburger. Enforcement is the payment that will never come

I was an early giver to the Guiliani campaign. Got an email yesterday asking for more money. Shot it back noting that I won’t be giving any more money until I know Guiliani’s position on this bill.
Sad thing is I already know what he thinks, but was trying to forget it…

Bush is seals his legacy as the worst president in United States history with this act.

The requirement to pay the fine and “go home” is unenforceable

I’d say the progress on the mythical fence that was approved last year tells us everything we need to know about whether or not there will be a good-faith enforcement effort.

This is why revolutions happen. The elected representatives of this country are acting directly against the wishes of it’s people, democrat and republican
Exactly. Watch KKK and Neo-nazi activity increase. Good job morons.

So, are we now to accept that the federal government (the same federal government that put us in this position through its gross incompetence) will become competent overnight in its ability to manage illegal immigration, and the 12 to 20 million illegals already here?

It’s clear that our senators do not represent us in anything more than the barest sense of the word at this point.

Since our lawmakers have basically flipped us the bird, we need to take matters into our own hands. Obviously, we need not vote for these traitors again.

SEC 103 (a):
Construction of Border Control Facilities- Subject to the availability of appropriations, the Secretary shall construct all-weather roads and acquire additional vehicle barriers and facilities necessary to achieve operational control of the international borders of the United States.

SEC 245B:
If an alien is ordered to be removed due to the fact that he/she did not submit to inspection on reentering the US, remained past their authorized date, failed to maintain “legal” status while in the US (whatever the hell that means), or if their leaving would cause their family “hardship,” they CONTINUE TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE for adjustment to lawful resident status.

They’re going to vote on this bill this coming week — bizarrely, before they’ve even let the American public know what it says.
If I’m being single-issue, it’s because they’re trying to sneak this past everyone before the public even knows there’s a major, major bill about to be passed (and signed into law) or what the hell it actually says.

A few other tidbits (all in summary form):

•The draft includes $400M to process criminal illegal aliens.
Wait! I thought that they were all hard-working people who just wanted to come here for a better life. You mean some of them might be criminals?!

•It also allows for “sufficient transportation and officers to take illegal aliens apprehended by State and local law enforcement officers into custody for processing at a detention facility…”
What happens then? I’m so glad you asked! Alternatives to detention still include “release on order of recognizance.” So, it’s just business-as-usual boys and girls!

•Proof of work history requires only that they have affidavits from non-relatives.
So they can line up on the south side, say “Si! I have lived in los Estados Unidos for cinco anos, so I am eligible to become a nonimmigrant! Here are my amigos who will tell you the truth!”

•Taxes – they don’t get to file for refunds prior to FY2006.
Boo freakin’ hoo.

•Siblings (under 18) and ex-spouses also have the right to jump to the front of the line.
Yes, that’s EX-spouses. Everyone knows you can’t move to a new country without bringing along all your old baggage!

Quite possibly my (sarc)favorite(\sarc) one:
SEC 922 of Title 18 will be amended to allow “nonimmigrants” (yep, that beats “illegal aliens” any day) to own firearms.
Yippee ki yi yay!! I just can’t wait for the next Cinco de Mayo!!

Sorry, I know that this is long, and I’m preaching to the choir, but I am just sick today as I watch the greatest country on earth implode. Every last one of these @ssh0les who votes for this crap, or does not work hard enough against it, needs to be voted out of office as soon as we get the chance.

This ridiculous compromise will have a tsunami effect and will send hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants clamoring across the border to get in on the amnesty. There is absolutely no way to confirm how long they have been here. Another absolute failure spearheaded by the insanity of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

I’d swear, if space aliens landed in Washington D.C. and spent some time observing what’s going on there, they could be excused for concluding that Mexico had recently defeated the United States in a war and was proceeding with colonization of its conquered territory via its puppet government here.

It’s dismaying and disgusting in equal measure to watch the self-destruction of the Republican Party that’s gone on since 2004 and shows no signs of slowing down. I have no idea what they’re thinking in the Senate, but from this angle the consequences are readily foreseeable:

Millions of illegal aliens will soon become “legal” – and eventually become “citizens” – for no other reason than a collapse of the Republican party’s political will on an issue that the majority of Americans would support them if they only had courage.

Few, very few of the new “voters” are going to be voting Republican, contrary to the apparent delusional thinking that must be going on in the minds of the Republican party’s leadership.

Anyone who thinks that this capitulation isn’t going to see a flood of untold millions more illegals in the next few years is a fool

Say good-bye to social security.
Sat good-bye to summer jobs for kids.
Say good-bye to the GOP
Say good-bye to affordable health-care
And say good-bye to our Grandchildren’s future

George Bush WILL go down in history as the WORST President ever, as both Democrats and Republicans will claim it now.
Thank you Jorge for single-handedly destroying the Republican Party…

Agreed. “His compassionate conservatism” is is a euphemism for
1. Uncontrolled spending
2. Legalizing Illegals
3. Death of personal responsibility
4. Irrational desire to embrace the people who hate him and will NEVER support him in anything.

If the Democrats want to impeach Bush at this point, I wouldn’t care.
Why would Hiliary Clinton and Barak Hussein Bin Obama support impeaching Bush now that he’s become one of them

They have just sold my security down the river for immigrant votes, and big businesses dollars….
Sad day
.

Basically, Mexico pulled off the greatest scam of all time. They got us to take their undeveloped wilderness, waited while we civilized and developed it, and now they’re getting it back, all prettied up.

I doubt President Bush cares if 8 or 8,000,000 people leave the party. That’s just 8,000,000 fewer party members who disagree with them

Thanks Mr. President. You just stuck your middle finger in the eye of all our ancestors who did it the right way. What you have done is shameful.

The job of the citizens is to voice their opinion to the lawmakers in congress to kill this bill before it gets that far. So in that regard the average American can do something but it is going to involve your elected lawmakers.

It makes me ashamed as a conservative to print the following:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

RIIIIIIIGHT……IT’S NOT AMNESTY!

20 05 2007

Cross posted from StikNstein…has no mercy


Immediately upon passage…..ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS CURRENTLY IN THE COUNTRY CAN APPLY FOR A Z VISA WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO STAY AN WILL ALLOW THEM TO BECOME CITIZENS. tHEY SIMPLY HAVE TO PAY A FINE AND DO A LITTLE PAPERWORK……..
“Like the amnesty bill of 1986, the current Senate proposal would place those who have resided illegally in the United States on a path to citizenship, provided they meet a similar set of conditions and pay a fine and back taxes. The illegal immigrant does not go to the back of the line but gets immediate legalized status, while law-abiding applicants (WILL STILL) wait in their home countries for years to even get here.

LINDSAYGRAAMNESTY.jpg

1 Temporary Worker Program That’s Neither Temporary nor Work-Based

The bill would allow millions of illegal immigrants to qualify for permanent green cards within four years. Additionally, the Senate approved an amendment that each year would allow up to 200,000 immigrants who cross the border illegally and work just six days a year (including self employment) to qualify for a permanent green card. Proof of work history requires only that they have affidavits from non-relatives.

harry-reid.jpg

2 Unprecedented Wave of Immigrants: 66 Million Over 20 Years

This bill is estimated to skyrocket the number of immigrants, from its current level of 19 million over the next 20 years, to an unprecedented number. Heritage Foundation: “…[O]ur estimate of the number of legal immigrants who would enter the country or would gain legal status under S 2611 … [would be] 66 million over the next 20 years.”
mccainamnest.jpg

3 Insufficient Border Security

The Senate REJECTED an amendment to the bill to prohibit the implementation of any guest-worker program that grants legal status to those who have entered the country illegally until the secretary of Homeland security has certified to the President and Congress that the border security provisions in the bill are fully funded and operational.
SEC 103 (a):
Construction of Border Control Facilities- Subject to the availability of appropriations, the Secretary shall construct all-weather roads and acquire additional vehicle barriers and facilities necessary to achieve operational control of the international borders of the United States.

“SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF APPROPRIATIONS……..(means they don’t have to do it)

4 Terrorist Loophole Disarms Law Enforcement

Heritage Foundation reported May 24, 2006: “The Senate’s immigration reform proposal… would restrict local police to arresting aliens for criminal violations of immigration law only, not civil violations. The results would be disastrous. All of the hijackers on [9/11] who committed immigration violations committed civil violations. Under the bill, police officers would have no power to arrest such terrorists.”

5 Social Security Benefits, Tax Credits for Illegal Work

The Senate REJECTED an amendment to the bill to prevent Social Security benefits from being awarded to immigrants for time that they worked illegally in the United States. If the Senate bill were enacted into law, an estimated 12 million illegal workers would be able to use their illegal work to qualify for Social Security benefits.

6 $50 Billion a Year for Federal Government, States Foot Bill for Health Care

Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation described the bill as a “fiscal catastrophe,” and has said the measure would prove to be the largest expansion of government welfare in 35 years, increasing long-term federal spending by at least $50 billion a year. The Senate bill does not reimburse state and local governments for health care and education costs . (Means you will pay the entire cost)

061216_ClintonObama_xtrawid.jpg
7 Hurts Small Business

The Senate approved an amendment to the bill extending Davis-Bacon “prevailing wage” provisions for guest workers, but not American citizens, in all occupations covered by Davis-Bacon (currently limited to federally paid work). Small businesses would be forced to pay inflated wages to guest workers above the pay Americans receive for the same work. Of course the National Chamber of Commerce doesn’t work for small businesses…..

KENNEDYAMNESTY.jpg

8 Gives Immigrant Workers Greater Job Protection Than American Workers

As reported by Robert Novak: “The bill supposedly would protect American workers by ensuring that new immigrants would not take away jobs. However, the bill’s definition of ‘United States worker’ includes temporary foreign guest workers, so the protection is meaningless … Foreign guest farm workers, admitted under the bill, cannot be ‘terminated from employment by any employer … except for just cause.’ In contrast, American ag workers can be fired for any reason.”

9 Weak Assimilation and English Requirements

The Senate approved an amendment by Sen. James Inhofe (R.-Okla.) to make English the national language and require those seeking citizenship to demonstrate English proficiency and understanding of U.S. history. However, a far weaker amendment gutted the Inhofe amendment, leaving it in doubt, and giving immigrants the right to demand the federal government communicate with them in any language they choose.

10 TRUST US
Defenders are asking us not to prejudge the bill with Arlen Spector saying ” People are condemning it and haven’t even had a chance to read it yet.”
Possibly adding:
” of course we crafted it in secret……behind closed doors……with no debate……made it incredibility complicated…..incredibly long……with dozens of loopholes…..are slamming it through by only allowing 1 week to debate it…..WHY HECK….YOU’D THINK IT WAS A CONGRESSIONAL PAY RAISE!
AMERICANS SHOULD TRUST OUR WISDOM……
IT’S SUMMERTIME…..

Dubya’s Latest Gift to Illegal Aliens: Tax Amnesty

20 05 2007

Cross posted from Illegal Aliens Must Go

By John W. Lillpop

Any American citizen who has had the misfortune of locking horns with the IRS in a dispute over income taxes realizes that the experience can be both frightening and costly.

IRS agents are notorious for being hard-nosed, merciless creatures who seem to delight in nailing taxpayers to the wall either for willful cheating, or if there is no other choice, benign clerical oversights.

Rumor has it that agents who send the greatest number of taxpayers to prison receive large commission bonuses and lucrative perks.

So while you cool your heels in a prison cell because a malfunctioning PDA caused you to understate your income, be consoled by the fact that the stalking agent who sent you there was probably rewarded with honored parking privileges at IRS headquarters for a fortnight, perhaps longer.

The point is that the federal government takes income taxes damn seriously and woe unto those who do not report all income or pay all taxes owed.

At least that is the case when it comes to citizens and those here legally

However, if you just happen to be an illegal alien who has filed no income tax returns or paid no taxes, and are concerned about how that untidy fact might effect your amnesty plans, fret not!

The amnesty bill originally sent to Dubya by congress required illegal aliens to pay all back taxes owed as part of amnesty, but Dubya decided it would be too complex and time-consuming to ask invading criminals to do what American citizens are required to do.

So the tax pay back provision was stripped from the bill as described in the World Net Daily story. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55786

Once again, America’s anti-American president has gone the extra mile to reward millions of invading criminals by kicking citizens in the groin.

How much more of this nonsense can sane people be expected to tolerate?

Victims, generosity, and gratitutde (or the lack thereof)

20 05 2007

Cross posted from    Right Truth

Victimhood seems to be the word for the day. Illegal aliens are victims, blacks are victims, Muslims are victims, … you get the idea. Americans try to help everybody they can here and around the world. To whom much is given, much is expected, … so we are glad to lend a had to those in need. But need and greed are two different things. Being a victim and wanting special treatment are not the same. And is it too much to expect a little gratitude for what we do?

One example is the new immigration bill, which in my opinion is a complete sham. Listening to the illegal aliens being interviewed on television was a real eye-opener. They don’t like the bill, they don’t want anything required of them. Illegals don’t want to pay $5,000. Aliens don’t want to go home, or touch back, in order to get their Z-visas. (a/k/a E-Z-visas) They want citizenship and they want it now. Not grateful for what is being offered, they want more.

How about a little appreciation and gratitude, in the form of assimilation? Go see the images and article at Ironic Surrealism

The Conservative Constitutionalist points out that it may be legal American citizens and illegal aliens who are the real victims of the new immigration bill, — when we get hit with another terrorist attack by someone who slipped across the border.

Legal Americans feel “that NONE OF US will have a say in the final solution” to illegal aliens, according to The Bill-T Blog. We call, fax, email, snail-mail .. is anybody really listening? Rastaman thinks it’s “because corporations are now running America and the corporations have decided that they want a lot of cheap labor from Mexico.”

Hillbilly has a link to the full immigration bill if you want to go read it (pdf alert).

Red Satellites says “Welcome to the Hood — Victimhood”

If you happen to have lived in or around New Orleans when Katrina hit- you’ve hit the lottery.

After a massive deadline filing rush recently that is still being sorted through, the United States is facing legal claims from more than 250,000 people here demanding compensation because, they allege, the Corps negligently designed the waterworks that permeate the city.

Every person within a 200 mile radius has lined up for this massive handout. Oh by the way, anyone done the math lately?Hmmm….$278 billion divided by ~250,000 = 1.11 MILLION per ‘victim’. Yep.

If the government pays out all claims, each and every plaintiff, on average, will score more than a million dollars…
I’m wondering what the total amount of donations to Katrina victims has been? Like the September 11 widows, it never seems to be enough. A little personal responsibility would have saved many of these people in New Orleans from the tragedy they experienced. Hillbilly sums it up:

I may live in the city, enjoy a lot of creature comforts, technological advances, higher education, and many more things, but my roots are strong. If all these things disappeared tomorrow, I’d still survive because my family taught me how to think and do for myself. It’s the saddest thing in the world to me to read about people who can’t. If you want to cure the world’s ills teach them how to think and do and learn for themselves, not just give it and expect them to be grateful. Gratitude is a capricious creature. Just when you expect it to come in a flood you get complaints that what was given wasn’t enough. (Hillbilly Politics)

Muslims are not victims either, as Islamanazi so clearly points out:

It’s time our media stopped portraying the tribal peoples of other nations as being “undeveloped” because they still adhere to ancient and horrible practices. [snip]No, the people who persist in abusing their women and mutilating and torturing each other aren’t undeveloped. They have full access to modern technology. Yet they constantly fight each other for domination. They fight over differences in belief, over slights and imagined slights, over territory, wealth, greed, jealousy, virtually any possible excuse or no excuse at all. They engage in complex and compulsory rituals that consume much of each working day and reduce their ability to provide for themselves. With knives they gouge off the hands and feet of each other as punishments for crimes and imagined crimes.

They do this while using the Internet, driving cars, and attending colleges.

They aren’t “undeveloped”.

They’re just muslims. (more)

If you are black you can be a victim, but if you are white you probably deserved to be carjacked, tortured, raped, and eventually killed. Hot Air has video. Christopher Newsom (23) and Channon Christian (21), real victims, get little MSM reporting. La Shawn Barber has more. Where’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?

John McCain Drops F Bomb on American Patriot, Amnesty Foe

20 05 2007

Cross posted from Illegal Aliens Must Go

Satire(?) ByJohn Lillpop

Apparently John McCain (F-Arizona) is not content with simply “effing” middle class American citizens with his treasonous amnesty.

Now the long-in-the-tooth senator from Arizona is upping the ante in an attempt to silence a fellow GOP senator who believes that the McCain-Kennedy amnesty travesty has about as much potential benefit for America as a vat of raw, decaying vomit.

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) openly, and with appropriate decorum, expressed his concerns about McCain’s proposed Mexicanization of America and, by doing so, incurred the wrath and venomous language skills of Arizona’s favorite son. Of a bitch, that is.

McCain started out with a gentle response, at first referring to Cornyn’s concerns as “Chicken Sh**.”

As the verbal exchange escalated, McCain got down and dirty by shouting “F You!” at the innocent, bewildered Texan.

All in all, the McCain refrain provides a valuable civics lesson for us all, including powerful senators from Texas and elsewhere.

That message is:

Being an America patriot who values rule of law and U.S. sovereignty can be hazardous to your health.

And most especially to those with sensitive ears and high moral standards!

Unfortunately, that is an “effing” sad fact of life in American politics, circa 2007.

S.1348 – details of Z Visa

20 05 2007

Cross posted from Bear Creek Ledger

FAIR gives us some details on the Z visa contained in the Senate immigration bill (S.1348).

However, the details of this Senate compromise prove that it is nothing more than an amnesty. The language creates a “Z” visa program for illegal aliens and illegal aliens only. Specifically, the Senate deal:

  • Provides that Z visas last for 4 years and may be renewed indefinitely.
  • Waives numerous criminal provisions for eligibility purposes and no medical exam is needed up front.
  • Requires state and local governments are required to assist illegal aliens in providing documentation to support a Z visa application as a condition of receiving state impact assistance money.
  • Immediately grants probationary benefits (including work authorization, protection from removal, and a social security number) based only on an application and a 24-hour wait on a background check. Probationary benefits are not affected by the “trigger” in Title I of the bill.
