Andrew "I have but one brush and it is very broad" Sullivan has a post entitled The War on Illegals. He posits that the reason these vermin assualted the man is because of the rhetoric about illegal activity (specifically immigration) in this country. The man has become so sloppy lately it's hard believe he's the same guy I was reading in 2000. Does he really believe nothing would have happened if there had been no debate about immigration? Does he also believe there is a "war on illegals"? Is he serious? There is nothing approaching a "war" on illegals. I war, I mean a real, concerted effort to rid the country of illegals is so far from reality I don't even know where to start. A real "war" (I'm assuming he's not talking about armed conflict) would see mass arrest and interment of illegals followed by trainloads of people taken to processing centers on the border of Mexico where they would be photographed, fingerprined and booted in the ass toward Mexico. The border would consist of concertina wire, patrol roads, minefields and observation towers. That would be getting serious about border security. Until then, leave the histrionic postings about a "war" on illegals alone. Please.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
