We see here in the Senate immigration bill what happens when an arrogant gov't assumes too much power.

It has gone completely unnoticed that the Constitution is intended to protect the people from the government. The gov't acts like it is the reverse equation.

The citizenry does not exist to serve the government.

The Founders intended to protect the people's rights by limiting the powers of government. Any action which is intended to protect the people's interests from an errant government---as in the immigration dilemma---is in keeping with Constitutional imperatives, and is to be applauded.

That the Constitution is intended to protect the people from the government goes unnoticed..........and untaught. Unfortunately, liberal thought police have indoctrinated generations with Marxist/Socialist agit-prop so that many see the gov't as the solution to problems, and work to grant gov't more and more power over the lives of the citizenry.

The 30s were the start of all that. It took decades to implant that attitude into American society, and it will take decades to eradicate it slowly, one generation at a time. Sadly, if reasoned conservatism loses power, it will never get the chance to reverse liberalism, and this last best chance to stop the march of world socialism and unification will be kaput.

That's what 12 million new voters means. It's the straw that breaks the back--changing American voting demographics just enough that socialists come to power, and then they continue the Clintonian march toward UN government and toward disarming the United States military and citizenry so that the global elites will be in total control. Meanwhile, power centers in China, Russia and the Middle East will not be so quick to give up power, but will instead rush into the vacuum.

Those 12 million votes affect the entire course of future human history. Sounds somewhat alarmist to say it that way. But it's true.

Absolutely right on.
