Thank you sir, whoever you are, for putting in print your true thoughts. You’re precisely why Conservatives are Conservatives, and you confirm our beliefs that Leftists couldn’t care less about our foundational documents. And that damned Constitution, written a hundred years ago.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, whilst you were watching Syria and weren’t paying attention domestically — and without statutory authority:
A Plan B.
Immigration-reform activists aren’t supposed to talk publicly about a Plan B. They can’t, or won’t, answer questions from the media about what they will do if no bill passes this year to legalize the undocumented population. But as August wears on and there is no clear sense of what the House will do on immigration, some are starting to speak out.
“There are groups that are for immigration reform no matter what. Then there are groups like us, grassroots…. We have the other track,” said Adelina Nicholls, the executive director of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights. “The other track is Barack Obama.”
The idea behind the “other track” is to freeze the current undocumented population in place through an administrative order, give them work permits, and hope for a better deal under the next president, with the hope that he or she is a Democrat. It’s a significant gamble, but some advocates—particularly those outside of the Washington legislative bartering system—argue that it’s better than what they stand to see under the legislation being discussed now.
Many advocates have been discussing Plan B quietly for months, but they have kept a disciplined public message solely focused on supporting a comprehensive immigration bill in Congress. Even if they are uncomfortable with some of the bill’s provisions (like, say, excluding anyone who has been convicted of petty theft from legalization), advocates don’t want to appear fractured before a group of politicians who are wary about voting for anything that gives unauthorized immigrants legal status. As soon as reluctant lawmakers smell dissension in the ranks, they flee.
All Obama needs is “proof” that Congress can’t get the job done — then Obama reacts with an EO on his own, unilaterally.
Activists fear the border will be “militarized.” And that immigrants will be driven “underground.” Our sovereignty at literal risk, supported by foreign consulates. Dual citizenship, tri-citizenship. This is how you kill a nation.
Obama plans, by Executive Fiat, to legalize and normalize millions of Mexicans above and beyond the Dream Act. The Leftists will do anything to accomplish their objectives, and they are unceasing. If not by legislation, then by any manner in any fashion. They are beyond resolute. They are advocating “turning up the heat.” The proverbial “squeaky wheel,” ladies and gentlemen.
Do you find Republicans who are likewise resolute or unceasing or unaccepting of defeat? Who attack like steamrollers and piledrivers?
And who create websites like Mi Familia Vota, the sole goal of which is to bring as many illegal Mexicans into the United States as possible? Not the French, not Ethiopians, not Russians, not Canadians. Mexicans. Who speak Spanish. And who do not hail from Spain — though it was Spain that conquered the Indians of Mexico, which is why they speak Spanish today and not Tagalog.
Whose headlines read:
IMMIGRANT RIGHTS LEADERS TRAVEL THE ROAD TO CITIZENSHIP: VOW NOT TO TAKE ‘NO’ FOR AN ANSWER
Obama’s Executive Fiat and a SCOTUS that supports it.
I ask: how can you say you “love your country” and truly hate your Constitution?
Your Constitution and Founding Fathers provided recourse. A convention for proposing amendments.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.[2]
Perhaps a reference to Mark Levin’s The Liberty Amendments.
I submit that Mr Levin possesses a logical and sane alternative to the illogical and insane path our nation is currently taking.
Tell me: how many of you recognize our country from, say, thirty years ago?
Not in terms of melanin count, but in terms of logic, common sense, law, reality, proportion and rationality.
Don’t think Leftists don’t have a strategy:
Most activists for immigration reform have been so wrapped up in getting legislation through the Senate that they haven’t had time to look up and see what’s down the road. They are doing so now. “We’re saying, ‘What if? What are the next steps? If we come to a crossroads, what are the next strategies, the next talking points?’ ” said Lizette Escobedo, communications and development director for the Latino group Mi Familia Vota. “Our groups on the ground are seeing this as a new challenge. And when you get a new challenge, you just need to turn up the heat.”
Really.
What have you heard is the GOP‘s so-called “Plan B”?
Correct: nothing.

From FoxNews.com:
Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms “citizen” and “brown bag” are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.
KOMO-TV reports that the city’s Office of Civil Rights instructed city workers in a recent internal memo to avoid using the words because some may find them offensive.
Right. “Citizen.” “Brown bag.” Offensive. Let’s see; to whom? Oh yes, illegals. Mexicans specifically.
“Luckily, we’ve got options,” Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights wrote in the memo obtained by the station. “For ‘citizens,’ how about ‘residents?'”
Luckily, there isn’t one set of actual testicles in the entire OCR.
Seattle, however, isn’t the only city with an eye on potentially disruptive words.
The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students.
Dinosaurs, for example, conjures the topic of evolution, which could rile fundamentalists and birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Halloween, meanwhile, suggests an affiliation to Paganism.
Officials said such exclusions are normal procedure, insisting it’s not censorship.
Of course. That Bill of Rights and First Amendment, such a terribly oppressive and limiting document.
Heavy sigh.

As Texas Fred wrote in his post, “A warning from a former Muslim,” Islam has patience. And drive. And violence. They are the 800-pound gorilla of religions, cold, cruel, barbaric, single-minded. Read Fred’s post first.
Some people may be asking, in light of the recent declaration that Feds suggest anti-Muslim speech can be punished, why such emphasis on the negative aspects of one tiny religion when there are so many other issues of greater importance requiring focus in today’s world? And, further, won’t this get me in trouble?
The second question is easiest to answer: because I believe in my First Amendment rights. Once we lose our First, everything else means nothing. That is why it is the FIRST Amendment and why the Leftists and “Progressives” by way of the Demorats work so hard to eliminate our Second Amendment protections. Once the Second Amendment is gutted and emasculated, the rest of the Bill of Rights — with the First Amendment clearly “first to go” — can be tossed aside with abandon. Then the nation truly becomes one populated by Groundlings, Serfs and Proles. This doesn’t just work for Obama, folks; any old and staid Republican could potentially do the same thing. No one, ladies and gentlemen, gets my First Amendment.
The first question is also an easy one to answer: because Islam has the West in its gunsights. Literally and figuratively. And the so-called “good” and “moderate” Muslim keeps silent and quaking in his boots for fear of the True Islam. My phrase “Islam is as Islam does” isn’t merely some trite coinage; it’s the absolute truth. Do the reversal: substitute the word “Catholic” for all the death and carnage committed at the hands of and in the name of Islam and imagine what the state of Catholicism would be today.
People say that, after all, these kinds of thing can’t happen here and that Texas Fred and I are simply religionists and terribly over-reactive. One tiny point: people also intimate that Texas Fred and I are racists and to that I laugh out loud: the dolts and cretins making this remark are themselves ill-educated and give away their obvious poor public school days: Islam is a religion and not a race. Such goobers.
It can’t happen here, you say?
Really? Watch:
Ah, nothing like the goodness and kindness of Leftists and Islamists working in concert to eliminate the truth regarding Islam. As so clearly illustrated by Texas Fred’s guest writer.
Plus this:
You think the First Amendment isn’t already threatened? You think that Islam doesn’t already have a foothold in America?
Then you would be foolish.
