Tell it to me in Spanish ...
“And I believe that a newly arrived adds to the vigor and the entrepreneurial spirit, and enhances the American Dream.”
What about the American Dream for... Americans? Not all Americans have yet been able to have been born to a wealthy, politically connected family. He has a disconnect as to the wealth availability of the average American. Most Americans are still chasing the American Dream. Why should these citizens of other countries be shoved in line in front of them?
Oh really, nominate Rudy and she will be. Rudy is a chicken-shit no account. I don’t respect him at all. Rudy makes everything confusing, and that’s what the Clinton’s bank on. If Rudy is nominated, HIllary will win, because Rudy is the type without a moral compus. We can’t have someone without moral balls taking on someone like Hillary. We need a honest to goodness fighter, someone who would take her on. Rudy can’t, he doesn’t know whether he is coming or going.
Your choices are voting for a Republican who will lie to you and then pull a Bush when he doesn’t need you anymore, or to stay home and hand the election to Hillary. This is a third alternative - yes, a think outside the box thing. It doesn’t have to be Rudy - though anyone who thinks it should be is entitled to his or her opinion - and it is quite possible that it will take a RINO to get the ball rolling. As the new bipartisan conservative coaltion gels, the candidates will get progressively more conservative. Don’t think of the 2008 election as a one-shot. Think longer term. And IMHO, Peggy Noonan is thinking small when she says we have to take back the Republican party. No, we have to take back our Country! It will be a long, protracted war. Think Sun Tzu.
And Hillary has a moral compass? Where? I fear her more than anyone else running on either side (though, in truth not more than Kerry).
Another map that could be added:
Abortion Mapping

Let’s have legal immigration and continue to welcome new folks to our country. Let’s end illegal immigrtion.
Why indeed?
THat will never happen. THe RINO's are the ones trying to pull the party to the left and move social conservatives out of the coalition altogether. As for Rudy, he has been running against social conservites since day one.
Every senator and representative should see this before casting his or her vote for the immigration bill - starting with Lindsay Graham.
OH, so you are saying you are willing to give up what you belive in just so you can feel safe? Would you be willing to let me tatoo your hand and put a computer chip in while I’m at it? Do tell, this is very intersting!
A mere symptom. America was always an unlimited land with a wild frontier, even before Columbus--long before Columbus. The frontier was officially closed in 1890. It has been over ever since and the Club of Rome and their new Saint Algore is still insisting on it being over.
However, O'Neill's High Frontier is still valid. Repeal the Treaty and open the Land Office for mining and entry claims.
That's the difference between Princeton and Yale.
I never said Hillary has a moral compass, she doesn’t need one, she is getting her orders from the evil one. Anyone dealing with her needs to have one though.
Not all conservatives are members of the religious right, and not all conservatives agree that social issues are more important than national security issues (especially this election). FR attracts the most conservative conservatives, but there’s a much wide range of opinion out there than just us talking amongst ourselves. Don’t you think by now EVERYONE knows about Rudy and abortion, Rudy and guns, Rudy and gays, etc? He’s still in the top tier - even when Fred Thompson is factored in.
“Your choices are voting for a Republican who will lie to you”
I take it that means you think Rudy will win the nomination?
LOL. But I am still not going to learn Spanish.
The article uses Noonan’s article to rebut Bush’s losing our souls comment, and then the author suggests a different solution to the problem than Noonan’s, which is that to regain clout and not be taken for granted by the Republcan party is to form a party-less coaltion of conservatives.
Bush’s quotes and Noonan’s quotes are indented. The author’s thoughts are not. This is standard formatting for citations.
Bush the younger came forward, presented himself as a conservative, garnered all the frustrated hopes of his party, turned them into victory, and not nine months later was handed a historical trauma that left his country rallied around him, lifting him, and his party bonded to him. He was disciplined and often daring, but in time he sundered the party that rallied to him, and broke his coalition into pieces. …
This is the really sad thing. Under Bush's leadership, leftist ideology could have been marginalized for fifty years.
