Americans -- at least really stupid Americans like George Bush -- believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy. On this view, most of the existing world and almost all of world history is a freakish aberration.
In fact, the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world.
The British Empire once spread the culture of prosperity around the globe -- Judeo-Christian values, tolerance, equality, private property and the rule of law. All recipients of the British Empire's largesse benefited, but the empire's most successful colony was the United States.

George Bush’s problem is that he thinks that if he
doesn’t address a problem (eg. border security,
mad cow disease, the stolen FBI files,
and the utter alienation of his base)
it will go away.
None will.
Instead, he is reckless and endangering American citizens.
Bump.
She makes some good points here. We have imported a servant class. They are doing jobs Americans aren’t doing. Since everyone wants their children to be good yuppies and go to college and avoid manual labor and service jobs, those jobs are going to the illegals.
But, if we had real control of the border to stop the illegals, maybe wages and benefits for these lowly jobs would improve, and attract some of the welfare recipients or itinerant members of society who could do these jobs.
There is no easy solutions to the problems of illegals. If there were, this problem would have been solved years ago. But it’s clear that we will not recognize this country in another 20 to 30 years if we continue to have unfettered illegal immigration and a lack of assimilation by these illegals. L.A. and other cities will be transplanted banana republic cities. Demography is destiny, as someone once said. There will be such a critical mass of these unassimilated people that the character and culture of our country will change.
“Until the recipient culture is capable of doing an effective job of Americanizing immigrants, it’s preposterous to talk about a massive influx of Hispanic immigrants accomplishing anything other than turning America into yet another Latin American-style banana republic. And it is simply a fact that no one is trying to turn immigrants into Americans.”

Excellent as usual by Ann...and spot on. The Washington government, such as it is, cares not a bit about the real impact of what they are trying to do. A huge rush to push a ruinous disaster upon the American citizen before he can figure out what happened. I agree with Ann -— our traitors are citizens and many of them in Washington. They do not care about America, only their own political and financial objectives.
I about drove off the road today when I heard President Bush say he’s sending 30 million to Africa for aids prevention. My god, what is happening to the Republican party??
I disagree. The fact that they cannot legally work and therefore must work for less gives millions of LEGAL citizens less money to legally spend. The entire basis of your “jobs Americans wont do” argument is that Americans are lazy. Your fundamental assumption is false. Your extrapolations based on that assumption must therefore also be false.
Looks like Ann is going to get dropped from the White House invite list. ;-)
But once again, in the rest of the column, she is right on the money.

Ok - I admit it - Ann Coulter gets printed and put into my bed side reading for tonight.
That said
Anyone who fails to read Ann Coulter is leaving a great read behind.
Like her - hate her
She is brilliant - and a great humorist and a great author.
I love her - though I don’t always agree - she is brilliant.
“really stupid Americans like George Bush “
You mean The Chimp? LOL I get a kick out of how the moonbats deride Bush for being stu.... Wait a minute. Has Ann Coulter changed sides? Oh my. There’s revolution in Mudville tonight.

First, a tribute to a master writer:
“I wish our new immigrants had come to America back when the foundations of civic society and patriotism were still inculcated in all immigrants (and when half of them went home). But traitors who are citizens have destroyed all acculturating institutions. Traitors who are citizens have also destroyed all incentive for the poor to work or even keep their knees together before marriage.”
Now to respond to your point:
“There is no easy solutions to the problems of illegals. If there were, this problem would have been solved years ago. “
Actually there is: enforce our existing laws! What a concept! Deport those who are here illegally. If we deport a million, 5 million or more will flee. If we enforce our workplace regulations another 5 million will leave. What’s the point of infiltrating if you can’t get a job?
We could also try negotiating with Mexico to get their cooperation. We haven’t event tried that.
“I love her - though I don’t always agree - she is brilliant.’
She’s bombastic and clownish. You want brilliant, read Mark Steyn.
Good thing you didn’t hear it was 30 billion...
you would have done it for sure!
