It's always amazing how quickly a leaky political boat seeks solace in a hurricane.
a few short weeks ago, or was it months, the attendant ballyhoo seems to compress time, the ports caper and Dubai Ports International resulted in a shocked Senate tossing out the Emirates and swearing that they'd only use a more US friendly outfit, thanks to the "seamanship" of that world renowned über-patriot Chuck Schumer, who sought any handy refuge to show his true-blue party's vast and total understanding of all things security.
Then take that gadabout erstwhile representative Cynthia McKinney, for instance, in her attempts to gain traction from her problematic dust up with the Capitol police officer. Her foundering ship of state has lurched from the pseudo-occult racism rhumb line to a far less hazardous and more pitiable mea culpa course, and from the overt signs of dementia to the far less troubling aspects of mere madness. The crew on her sinking vessel has changed from the pork pie hat sporting and dashiki clad racist ambulance chasers to a more somber association of conservative suited advisors.
Today, the US Senate is seeking similar escapes from everything, including their constituents, as they chart a troubling course between appeasement, the strident demands of the criminal aliens swimming among us, the convicted criminals the Democrats and especially Harry Reid want to wrap in the squeaky clean mantle of freshly washed citizenship, the beckoning Siren-like calls for amnesty, the claptrap bawling for the rights of this undocumented band by the likes of Ted Kennedy--who brought us the earlier reforms in 1965 and 1986--and the base nomination-chasing, say anything do anything John McCain, and the demands for the wall needed to make even the slightest demands for any proposed program to work.
and as the senate drifts rudderless on the wave tossed seas, without a compass, a clear plan, an EPIRB, relying on the likes of total imbeciles like Harry Reid for navigation, praying for a storm, which will allow them to seek the solace in a handy refuge of their choice, it appears that a most unlikely anchorage has hove into view as their savior, relieving them of at least one particularly onerous task, without the slightest tiniest miniscule measurable bit of lifting on their part.
Many gadflies, a few senators, a large number of learned pundits, folks in the know, residents of our troubled border states, some foremost economists, men as smart as paint, diviners, folks who find water with branches cut from saplings, air force photo interpreters, bee keepers, Los alamos scientists and other key personae claim that a wall should be the first ingredient in any sane plan for curbing the outlandish flow of criminal aliens said to be flooding our country clubs, kitchens and baby nurseries.
Then, just a few days ago, it was announced that the, gasp, no, environmentalists, were against the erection of any known type of continuous barrier. Sure, they said, some small tiny little bits of wall were okay--two or maybe three continual feet at a time. But large parts of the border must be uncovered, with areas in any proposed barrier big enough for the passage of large caravans of water buffalos, elephants, giraffes, and herds of wildebeests, caribou, reindeer, prairie dogs and other migrating ungulates.
The environmentalists fear that the charging beasts might pile up at areas too narrow for their passage and injure themselves at any planned obstacle on their yearly migrations north and south. When questioned about the passage of people, they admitted that yes, these vast chasms in any proposed barrier would allow people free access to america--by the tens of millions. Their spokesperson went on to explain that the free ranging of illegal aliens, and especially their criminal elements, so elegantly protected by Senator Harry Reid's specific proposal for the protection of convicted burglars and possessors of sawed-off shotguns and other turgidly defined outlaws, is necessary for the continued propagation of the alien criminal elements in america, a vital component of the wildlife diversity they implore america to maintain.
Hearing these words of caution from a little known environmental group, actually formed, it seems, during the course of the current senate's debate by three "scientists," a graduate student who has read a number of treatises by Ward Churchill at a pretty seriously accredited college and a high school student who definitely plans to go on to an accredited university when he completes his secondary education in metal shop, the US Senate immediately ruled out any further iota of a scintilla of a thought of a lengthy fence.
I always find it humorous how quickly a band of public cowards, like so many members of the US Senate seem to be these days, can so quickly leap at the smallest proffering of anyone that will lend the slightest bit of cover to hide behind in their craven attempts to shirk their duties for our protection.
as the final debates get under way in Washington, D.C., it'll be interesting to see if Harry Reid will win instant citizenship for convicted alien felons-- for those kind and considerate fellows who held a sawed-off shotgun to us, or for those desperate and hungry lads who burglarized us. Those poor fellows, how much they need our citizenship to turn their lives around. Will we loan them the two grand to do so?
By his groveling on their behalf, he reveals all too clearly what new groups the Democrats are pandering to in their unbridled zeal for new voters, having given up on their courting of law abiding americans.
But we do have to give some credit to that bold criminal chasing, felon fêting prevaricating blowhard because he found his own port--he drew a solid line in the rogue wave plagued stormy brine against giving convicted murderers and rapists the old presto change-o magic citizenship card. Not them, eh Harry? a crook or two too many, perhaps, even for the liberal base?
and there'll be no wall, thanks to some bunch of environmentalists either. The senate has found their own national refuge behind that canard and their port in the storm.
and we, the saps who pay the freight, wait while the hours tick away, the great majority, for the United States Senate to sell us down the river for the sake of illegal aliens, convicted criminals and the like.
Is it any wonder that as the popularity of the President and the Republican Party dives for the single digits, the only thing with lower numbers are the Democrats and america's overall view of Congress?
