Anchors Aweigh!
May 6, 2007
I don’t much care for the term ‘anchor baby’. I find it offensive and pejorative. It means a child born in the United States to a couple who are not U.S. citizens who receives U.S. citizenship as a birthright. Many in the immigration scaremonger faction consider ‘anchor babies’ to be a problem that we need
Thoughts on the Republican Field
May 5, 2007
Now that I have watched the first GOP debate, I think it is a good time to discuss the contenders. Of course, I have no interest in a GOP President being elected, and given what I saw in the debate, and what I know of the candidates, a GOP President in 2008 would be an
The American Chauvinist Premiers
May 4, 2007
I’m pleased to announce that Dwight Leister, a frequent commenter on this site, has decided to take up his own blog. I suggested the name "American Chauvinist" and Dwight couldn’t be more delighted. He’s agreed to move in and promulgate his philosophy at his own blog if I would provide a link to his new
Democrats falling for STRIVE
April 30, 2007
It is disheartening that all the energy around immigration reform seems to have been sucked up by the deceptive STRIVE Act. Those who should be leading the fight for humane solutions to our immigration problems with Mexico, such as Senator John McCain, and Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabby Giffords are lining up behind Rep. Jeff
Benny Hill on ICE
April 29, 2007
A bit of video is stirring up a little controversy on YouTube. A dash cam video of a Border Patrol stop of a vehicle carrying a whole lot of, presumably, undocumented immigrants is set to the Benny Hill theme song. Of course, mocking such a serious issue in this way has a lot of panties
The Coming Democratic Sweep
April 28, 2007
Bush’s approval rating has fallen to 28%, its lowest level yet. Much further and his quip about Laura and his dog being the only ones following him might turn out prophetic. But the Harris poll revealed a few things more than just how disliked Bush is, it revealed how much we Americans dislike our government
President Creep
April 27, 2007
Many have pondered the reason why Presidential campaigns have started earlier and earlier the last few cycles. There are many theories: the pressure to raise ever more money, the front-loading of primaries, the lack of clear front-runners, etc. I think these are all plausible components of an explaination, but none are indespensible. I’m listening to
Renzi to give Democrats a Blue Arizona Delegation?
April 26, 2007
UPDATE 4/27: Looks like Renzi is putting up a fight. This should be entertaining and embarrassing for the GOP. Every day Renzi hangs on is another day of negative press that helps CD 1’s voters decide that a Democrat might better represent their interests. Tedski at Rum, Romanism and Rebellion is predicting Renzi’s resignation by
