The United States of America died last Thursday when the Senate announced that they had finally settled on a bipartisan “comprehensive immigration reform” deal. The death was confirmed yesterday when Senators tried to smother debate and rush the bill into law before anyone (other than the few who negotiated it in secret) has any real chance of understanding the details.
The unraveling began decades ago and by inertia alone the shattered remains of our constitutional republic bureaucracy will surely shuffle on for years yet. But at this moment in history the veil has been lifted. It is now crystal clear that our nation faces an irreconcilable divide.
On one side we have US citizens and legal immigrants who play by the rules, respect the law, and believe it should apply to everyone equally.
Of these people we expect ever more scrupulous obediance to the most nitpickety micromanaging of their lives by a nanny state on steroids. They are guilty until proven innocent if they don’t pay their taxes and scurry in fear that their car might be emitting too much pollution or that they haven’t filled out the proper bureaucratic paperwork for the doghouse in their backyard. And if these hapless plebs should utter any concern whatsoever that their wealth, health, or future is at risk they must realize that it will only reveal them as nothing more than the greedy racist xenophobic fascist bigots everybody always suspected they were.
On the other side are invaders aided by a sizable fifth column who have conferred upon themselves absolute moral authority.
From this perch they produce a never-ending stream of threats of social disruption, vapid excuses for their brazen lawlessness, and ever more ridiculous demands for special treatment for “their people”. You know, the people the bigots are all out to get. They are too poor and uneducated for the rigors of law to be so brutally forced upon them, after all they were here first and built everything. Their vaunted work ethic and family values exempt them from the silly rules, documents, and fines only lesser people like citizens must concern themselves with.
We have known for decades that portions of our government were compromised by such mental illness. We knew the compromise was deep when we saw our borders go undefended for years and “sanctuaries” began springing up everywhere.
Now fifth columnists with college educations and suits openly proclaim loyalty to their ethnic group over the law. Now invaders walk our streets proudly displaying their allegience to foreign states and go unmolested by the police. Now citizens and low-level authorities who speak out or act in defense of their country are vilified, sued, and harassed.
Leaders at the highest levels of our government have spelled out their betrayal. So eager are they to rush their invasion-friendly shamnesty into effect that they’ve dropped all pretense of fairness or reason and shoved aside any loyalty to the citizens whose interests they’ve sworn to protect and defend. They’ve revealed themselves instead to be shamelessly aligned with the invaders!
Under such conditions no nation can continue.
Killing this bill will not help, no matter how quick or resounding its defeat. The message has already been sent. Through sheer repetition the media will establish this as a “compromise” from the “center”. Opposition will be rebuffed as reactionary and extremist.
There is no need and there was probably no intent for the “comprehensive compromise” to ever become law. The ACLU, funded by our own tax dollars, has and will continue to sabotage any enforcement of any law. And the ladeeenyos know the status quo is in their favor. Every year their numbers balloon and the dim chance the rest of us will recognize and repell the invasion grows ever dimmer.
There is at this point only one hope.
Our government must declare a deadline before which illegal aliens will be permitted to leave peaceably. Aid of any but the most basic life-preserving sort will be cut off. Businesses caught employing them will have their licenses terminated. To enforce this will require martial law, a nationwide mobilization of the National Guard, and the deputization of many citizens. We will need to go block by block, house by house, business by business.
The illegal aliens who will not leave and cannot be deported, because we don’t know where they came from or their country won’t take them back, will then have to be confined. Somewhere along the Mexican border would be fitting. Mexico has always been delighted to dump their raw sewage and unwanted people on the US, it’s only fitting we should repay their favor by storing our hazardous human waste close to them.
This is of course nothing but a law-abiding citizen’s fantasy – even if the invaders didn’t have a supporter in the White House. The infiltration is too deep, the disease too advanced.
What’s clear now is that our entire country will instead continue a now inexorably slide toward the kind of lawless violent impoverished shithole Latin America and Los Angeles already are. The United States will decompose and die, while our moral and intellectual superiors will continue to tell us to stop whining and get busy celebrating our diversity.
The lies and excuses and betrayal will continue. The mainstream media aids and abet the invaders by ignoring scandals and pumping out sympathetic spin. They lecture us constantly about our country’s many ills but they never mention, much less investigate, the large “contribution” made by the invaders. They’d much rather lionize them.
Consult instead Mickey Kaus, Lawrence Auster, Lonewacko, Steve Sailer, Michelle Malkin, and VDARE for frank reports and analysis concerning the many flaws and contradictions of the bloody multicultural balkanization the hijackers have sent our once great country speeding toward.
RIP USA.
Update: Mark Steyn on the benefits zitizenship. Hmmm. Will zitizens share the pleasures of jury duty? What do we do if they refuse? Take away their Z and give them a ZZ?
Sorry, I can’t help myself: George Borjas calls it a sham, Thomas Sowell calls it a fraud. I believe it rises to the level men once had the sense to recognize as treason.
Just for giggles: I went over to truthout to see what the leftists have to say. They’re all worked up about Alberto. Not much on immigration. They linked a NYTimes op-ed that concluded like this:
It is painful, for many reasons, to oppose this immigration deal. It is no comfort to watch as this generation’s Know-Nothings bray against “amnesty” from their anchor chairs and campaign lecterns, knowing that it gives hope to the people they hate.
It is especially difficult because lives are in the balance. The millions without documents live in constant fear: a campaign of federal raids has spread panic and shattered families. Congress’s dithering has encouraged the rise of homegrown zealots: mayors, police departments, county executives and legislators who take reform into their own hands, with cruelly punitive measures. No amount of hostile legislation is going to drive the immigrants away. A collapsed immigration deal could put off reform for years, and encourage more of this cruelty.
It is the nation’s duty to welcome immigrants, to treat them decently and give them the opportunity to assimilate. But if it does so according to the outlines of the deal being debated this week, the change will come at too high a price: The radical repudiation of generations of immigration policy, the weakening of families and the creation of a system of modern peonage within our borders.
I hate to bray, but look at who they identify as the enemy. “Know-Nothings” like me, whose kids are learning Spanish by immersion and whose property in Atzlan is now virtually certain to become worthless. And “homegrown zealots” who aim “cruelly punitive measures” to “shatter families”. Would it be fair to characterize this as treasonous hyperbole? I think so.
It is most certainly not this nation’s duty to welcome anyone. And we most certainly can drive the invaders away if we ever put any effort whatsoever toward that goal. If the Times editors consider it their duty to welcome with open arms anyone who wanders into their homes that’s fine with me. It isn’t fine that they try to hang the bill for their nation-busting largesse on all the rest of us. The leftists, as usual, have already wet their pants. And nobody with a national voice has even suggested martial law or mobilizing the Guard yet. That would be extreme. That would be worth wetting your pants about. I already have. But it’s either that now, or a much bloodier civil war and ethnic cleansing (with “Pilgrims” getting scrubbed) not too far down the road.
Such is the nature of the divide on immigration. The other side has no intention of even trying to encourage the invaders to leave, much less forcing them. People without documents living in fear? What a load of liberal guilt-trip horseshit. They should try being a law-abiding citizen surrounded an ever growing number of eyes smoldering with a mix of militant reconquista hatred and La Raza pride. They’re staring at us, Pilgrim.
Is it worth mentioning our jihadi-zitizen problem? Or will the ladeeenyos and their NYT shills be jealous if our immigration concerns extend to anyone other than them?
Goodbye Jericho, Hello Truthiness
Now that Jericho has been cancelled we’ll never find out exactly which corporate white supremacist group it was that nuked America. Damn.
Upstanding left-leaning Americans say "good riddance". They avoided the show in droves.
Who wants to contemplate a post-apocalyptic future when you can instead focus on the positive and uplifting vision of Al Gore?
And when it comes to TV we’re much better served by the fearless, gut-wrenching reporting of Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.
These savvy newsmen and their wise viewers know there’s no need to imagine an apocalyptic future. We’re living an apocalyse right now under the money-loving, corporation-protecting, power-abusing, wire-tapping, war-mongering, gulag-building, torture-loving, environment-destroying, gay-bashing, Bible-thumping, race-dividing, jihadi-recruiting, immigrant-raiding, Constitution-ignoring Bush administration.
They should cancel 24 and The Unit too. We don’t need to know which corporate white supremacist groups they answer to either.
What Debate?
Where do the Democrats stand on immigration? In their Friday debate the subject came up only once:
MODERATOR: Thank you, sir.
Senator Clinton, if you were currently the president, would you defy the majority of American citizens and offer a form of amnesty for illegal aliens?
CLINTON: Well, I’m in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, which includes tightening our border security, sanctioning employers to employ undocumented immigrants, helping our communities deal with the costs that come from illegal immigration, getting the 12 million or so immigrants out of the shadows. That’s very important to me.
After 9/11, we’ve got to know who’s in this country. And then giving them a chance to pay a fine, pay back taxes, learn English and stand in line to be eligible for a legal status in this country.
MODERATOR: Time’s up. Thank you, ma’am.
And that question was from Chris in Myrtle Point, Oregon.
Why wasn’t every candidate asked this question? Is immigration not as important to Democrats as it is to the rest of us? Even if it isn’t, is it too much to expect our fearless self-appointed government watchdogs in the media to put the question to them anyway?
Hillary’s answer by the way, is yes. She is for defying the majority of American citizens and offering a form of amnesty for illegal aliens. Or as the euphemism goes, she is for “getting them out of the shadows”.
Where I live nobody is hiding in the shadows. They’ve stepped out and waved their Mexican flags, spelled out their reconquista dreams, and dared anyone to do anything about it.
Nothing happened.
Since then, across the nation, the true scope of the invasion has become clear to anyone with eyes. The official numbers are shocking. The truth is far worse.
In southern California the ordinary Americans are outnumbered by immigrants. A routine visit to the supermarket or department store has become surreal. The same old places I’ve visited for 20 years are suddenly full of short, stocky, oddly-dressed, brown people who don’t speak a lick of English. They shuffle aimlessly up and down the aisles with bemused expressions on their faces, their minds clearly blown by the clean bright abundance around them.
The freshly arrived seem especially surprised and comforted at being surrounded by so many others like themselves. “Where are the gringos?” they say with their eyes. There feel no urgent need to learn English or adapt to American norms. Our government, banks, media, churches, and businesses pander to them shamelessly.
We the People are quickly becoming the aliens.
Walking to the checkout I wonder: How long before I have to speak Spanish to function here? When will I have to start carrying pesos? Should I move myself and my family somewhere else before the local government and police are controlled by gangs and our house is completely worthless? Or should we stick it out and pray the Razanistas will beat, rape, kidnap and kill all the other guero pigs first?
Friday’s debate was virtually worthless. We now know that all the Democrat candidates oppose Bush and “his” war in Iraq. Is this news to anyone? Are any of the candidates aware that our own country is being invaded? Do any of them oppose that?
Maybe someone should ask them. Someday.
A Rorschach For Our Times
You wake up in a warm, comfortable bed. Have a cup of coffee. Peruse news from around the world. A hot shower. Dress as you like, choosing from a deep wardrobe selected from a vast market. Then out you go to meet your day – which very likely involves traveling somewhere at high speed in a car, bus, train, or plane.
You think:
A) Life is great. Millions live a lifestyle only a handful of aristocrats could a hundred years ago. The rule of law, technology, and free trade have produced unbelievable returns. It can and should be like this for everyone.
B) This oppulent delusion is disgusting. Mother Earth aches under my carbon footprint. Mankind is a cancer. We will consume all our resources, and die. Or war over those resources, and die. Or cook our atomosphere. And die.
C) How fortunate! A young mother and baby carriage. If I turn myself around like so the TATP in my backpack will be sure to kill them. Get ready virgins, here I come! *click*
Inkblot #2
You look up into an otherwise clear blue sky and note a long contrail. Your eyes track and settle on the jumbojet. It’s likely carrying hundreds of people. Miles above the ground, hurtling toward its destination with amazing speed.
You think:
A) Look at that! The fruit of technology. From zero to thousands of flights a day in a hundred years. Isn’t that something? We can wonder what travel will be like a hundred years from now, or we can roll up our sleeves and make it so!
B) Good Gore we’re destroying the atmosphere. Ozone, CO2, deadly chemicals meant to poison the sheeple. Just look at all those fat greedy banksters and corporadoes flying off to some Disney fantasy. Killing the whales for their blood diamonds. If it weren’t for their insatiable thirst for oil our baby killers wouldn’t be fighting and dying in Iraq. Redeploy our baby killers now!
C) Hmmm. Too bad. Too high for a Strela.
Inkblot #3
You work at Wal-Mart. You man a checkout. A customer approaches with a package of bacon.
Your reaction:
A) Hiya! Did you find everything you were looking for? That’ll be $3.55 please. Thank you, have a nice day.
B) I don’t work for facists or their rapacious corporate bullyboy paymasters! I quit! I’m going across the steet to work for Starbucks. They care about the whales.
C) In deference to my all-powerful but easily-offended religion I refuse to handle this sinful meat, even if it is wrapped in plastic. I must also take extra breaks for prayer, and thus require special prayer rooms with foot-cleaning basins. And I can not work anywhere near the women’s underwear section. Oh and I’ll be out every Friday making plans for jihad.
Analysis
If you answered A to every question you are, sorry to say, one species or another of mindless, gutless, misinformed wingnut whose doom it is to forever see things through hopelessly rosy glasses while you are led to your doom by Machiavellian manipulators playing to your latent racist and xenophobic tendencies. You delight in destroying the environment by driving your SUV to church every day, where your evangelical leaders urge you to jail all leftists and Muslims with the ultimate goal of torturing and gassing them.
You’re probably inured to such characterizations, but you know they must be true because they are repeated so often by your far more friendly and tolerant neighbors.
If instead you preferred B you are, quite obviously, a brave patriot-warrior. It is hard to believe you could find the time for this test in your busy schedule, your activism, the never-ending fight for what makes you personally feel good about yourself. You see the horrible crimes and violence around the world and can’t help but recoil in disgust and sorrow at the realization that your country and countrymen are responsible. Fortunately, you are not. Though supremely intelligent, contemplative, peaceful, and wise you cannot help but lash out viciously, mercilessly at any ignoramus who questions your patriotism.
Oddly enough you are not very happy.
If your answers tended toward C you are advised to seek aid at a nearby US military base. You’ll get 3 square halal meals a day, new flipflops, plenty of space for praying toward Mecca, and your own Koran.
Allahu Akbar, such a deal!
