Presidential Pontification

 

“There’s definitely something weird and cultish in the sycophantish cathexis onto Hillary of the many nerds, geeks and vengeful viragos who run her campaign — sometimes to her detriment, as with the recent ham-handed playing of the clichéd gender card. I suspect the latter dumb move, which has backfired badly, came from Ann Lewis (Barney Frank’s sister), a fanatical Hillary true believer who has been spouting beatific feminist bromides about her for the past 15 years. Hillary seems to have acolytes rather than friends — hardly a reassuring trait for a potential president whose paranoia has already been called Nixonian. Isolated monarchs never hear the bad news until the people riot and the lynch mob is at the door” — liberal cultural critic Camille Paglia writing at Salon.com.

It’s always interesting to hear what other people are thinking about this whack-job Presidential campaign we have going on. Especially when they use words that make me want to run for the dictionary! Is there any candidate that is, well, normal?

Wither Illegal Aliens

This is not some xenophobic diatribe. I am all for the concept of the American melting pot. I am not for illegal aliens. I will not call them “undocumented workers” or “unauthorized immigrants”. They are law breakers. By definition, they are here in this country by violating our laws. So what should be done?

Clearly, a fence is not really going to help. And we just do not have the resources to “round ‘em all up and ship ‘em home”. But we do have the ability to recognize that these folks are law breakers and should be dealt with in the same manner as any other law breaker. At the point of contact with any authority figure (police, public service official, etc.), one must present official identification. I have to do it when I get pulled over for speeding or want to get treated at a hospital… And if you are not here legally, start the deportation. Get busted for a criminal act and are not a legal resident? Get deported and get your “permanent record” noted that you’re never welcome back through any means.

We have enough legal residents sucking on the teat of US welfare and largess. If you behave and fly under the radar, you’ll likely never get caught. But commit a crime or vacuum up public funds/services and off you go. I still haven’t figured out what I think about chilluns born in this country of illegal aliens…
