Schools don’t let applicants decide the admissions policy. Job seekers don’t decide who a business will hire. And passers-by don’t decide who a homeowner invites in.
This country is our home. We have a right and a responsibility to ensure that those crossing our borders do so with good intent. They should enter legally, and we should ensure their entrance is in the best interest of this nation, its institutions, social systems and traditions.
Follow current law. Get control of our borders. It is a security issue. It is a social and economic issue. When we no longer have untrackable, untold millions violating our border every year, then, maybe then we can entrust the politicians to deal with immigration reform. I won’t be holding my breath.
IBD had a great editorial yesterday on the fairness doctrine and the desire of politicians to “rig the game once again.” Senator Feinstein thinks talk radio is one-sided and doesn’t provide a lot of information.
Yes, hours of discussion on a specific issue, give and take from the public at large calling in to shows and a broad range of guest interviews doesn’t provide information. Sure, Ms. Feinstein. How many guest speakers and public call-ins were there in the Senate chambers during the amnesty debate? How much information is gleaned from a one minute network news story? Maybe the main source of information for the public should be the Congressional Record, amended and revised of course.
The truth is the left can’t stand no longer having a monopoly on information. Talk radio and specialty programs, broadcast and streamed, truly does bring an ocean of information to the public. It’s Feinstein and crew that want to control which side can be heard. IBD summed up her nonsense just about right – “That sounds like a fancy way of saying people aren’t thinking the way the government wants them to be thinking.”

has a new promotional photo. I like it. And if the leftists in the Senate have their way, free speech on the airwaves may require both those tools.
The left seeks to achieve through government force the audience that they have been unable to win in the free market. Drudge led with a story this evening that had Senator James Inhofe claiming that Clinton and Boxer were seeking a “legislative fix” for talk radio. Levin’s reaction was, “Isn’t what Hillary Clinton is doing a soft form of Hugo Chavez tyranny?.” The answer is yes
The “progressives” always seem to admire socialist tyrants like Chavez and Castro whose first moves are to silence opposition through force. .
And on a number of issues, Clinton has gone on record that she thinks nothing of making individuals suffer for what she envisions as the greater good. Hillary’s experience in the free market is obtaining sweetheart futures deals. Senate leader Harry Reid’s experience in the free market is windfall real estate deals through sudden zoning changes. In other words their experience is in the not-so-free market.
As we near the election, the free speech issue will continue to ramp up with far left interest groups and leftwing media urging their friends in government to silence the opposition. Which makes Tammy’s new photo with her friend Snuffy quite timely.

As I mentioned above in the audio links, Levin was breathing fire on Friday. And he had more than a few choice words for Senator Lott who thinks the talk radio audience is something that needs to be dealt with. Lott has thrown in with other Republicans who have not just abandoned their base, in favor of covorting with Kennedy, but feel the need to daily insult and ridicule their base.
Rush too, has pointed out that the people Lott insults are the people who defended him when he was in trouble a few years ago. But more importantly, Limbaugh said, “The notion that people freely expressing their opinions on radio is a “problem,” should scare every one of us that loves liberty. This is the exact sort of thing — people expressing their opinions is a problem — that gave us McCain-Feingold, a government signed, government passed and the president signed assault on free speech . . ”
But back to Levin. You can catch the several segment audio of Levin on MarkLevinFan.com. Here are a few choice tidbits Mark addressed to the not-so-good senator.
“I know this bill better than you ever could.
I don’t have a political motive when I review something like this. I”m smarter than you. As a matter of fact your constituents are smarter than you.
We happen to know what’s in this bill. We’ve been lied to about this border before, by you and your likes, and we’re not going to be lied to again. You just want a bill because McCain wants a bill.
You think gang meembers should be legalized?
You think the border fence should be cut in half?
What does chain migration have to do with doing jobs Americans won’t do?
If talk radio were running this country, sir, maybe we’d get something done. Maybe we’d secure the border. Maybe we’d revamp the bureaucracy that can’t handle existing law. At least we’d have the will and the desire to do the right thing.
If you know whats in this bill and you support it, you’re a disgrace. If you don’t know what’s in this bill and you support it, you’re an incompetent.
You can lash out against talk radio all you want. You can lash out against your constituents . .
You disgrace yourself.
This is America’s future we’re talking about. Not your puny political future.
Trent Lott’s only the latest to smear the American people. And I mean the American people because the American people don’t want this. Republican, Democrat, Independent, they don’t want it.
Who is it that you want to silence?
We demand that you treat us with the respect that you treat illegal aliens, sir.” |

Senator Lott won’t have to worry about the misguided conservatives speaking out on his behalf the next time he gets in trouble. And there will certainly be a next time for this jerk. But then, I’m not as informed and enlightened as our imperial senate that wants to shove this bill down our throats.
A recent Rasmussen poll showed that just 20% of American voters want Congress to pass this bill. As Levin said to Lott and his friends, “your constituents are smarter than you.” Yes, and talk radio will remind the public of the Senate’s condescension and insults come election time. They’re the ones that need to be dealt with.

“Bush deserves heavy blame for intentionally concealing from the American people the clear nature of Saddam Hussein and his regime, and for convincing himself that friendly relations with such a monster would be possible, and for persisting in this effort far far beyond the point of folly.
Iraq was clandestinely procuring nuclear weapons technology through a global network of front companies. Did all of this make any impression at all on President Bush? . . when he was told that this nation with a record of terrorism, continuing, was making a sustained concerted effort to obtain weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical and biological.”
Monica Crowley posts a great video of the younger slimmer hypocrite charging Bush 41 with ignoring Saddam’s terrorism.

These bastards have no intention of ever slowing the invasion. And now they vote to grant amnesty to felons.
Craig, Domenici, Graham, Hagel, Kyl, Lugar, Martinez, McCain, Specter and Voinovich,, and of course, most dems. – via Malkin.
