Summer of Sequels - "Return of the Undead Amnesty"
The Washington Times ^ | 6/16/2007 | Congressman Steve King

Posted on 06/16/2007 9:14:25 AM PDT by no2rinos

In a manner that resembles a bargain-bin remake of a B movie, President Bush seems determined to resurrect the deceased Senate amnesty bill. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters that have people lined up around the block, this sequel has the director going door-to-door in the Senate just to find an audience.

Many of us have already spent a lot of money this summer to see a third Spiderman movie and another installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean. Moviegoers have even spent good money to see an animated ogre in tights, but they dread "The Return of the Undead Amnesty."

American citizens are overwhelmingly against the Senate amnesty proposal. The public rose up and Republican Senators responded to kill the bill. But, in an apparent attempt to end his term with a zero percent approval rating, the president is investing the last of his political capital to resurrect a measure that will only continue to anger the country.

A good sequel builds on a popular story. It motivates people to spend a few bucks on admission and popcorn, and provides an entertaining experience. But this sequel will destroy the rule of law, wreak havoc on the middle class and leave Americans with heartburn that will last for generations. The return of the Senate amnesty bill is a sequel that must never be made.

Well done congressman King. This bill needs a stake driven through it’s heart.

One can only wonder why.

Both major political party's have not only been stabbing each other in the back, now they are reaching around and stabbing themselves in the back.

I'm sticking to my tag line and not succumbing to the political treachery and confusion.

That has been done already and it STILL hasn't died.

It needs to be vaporized.

That's only the half of it. It would not just produce heartburn, it would destroy our constitutional freedoms, because Mexico and Latin Americ have proven for two or three hundred years that they cannot govern themselves without endless cycles of tyranny, revolution, and lawlessness.

If enough illegals pour into this country, they will accomplish the same thing here. You cannot have freedom without respect for the law and a minimum of self-control. Freedom cannot be imposed.

As I said elsewhere:

This bill, like the monsters in the zombie movies, just won't die. Someone needs to drive a stake into its heart, shoot it with a silver bullet, flash the crucifix at it, pour holy water on it, and drive another stake into its heart for good measure. Then burn it and scatter the ashes so it can't reconstitute itself. Kill it for once and for all.

It’s more like Michael from Halloween. If only they would take the mask off the beast so we could see why they want it so bad.

I'm never certain whether Europe follows America or Vice-versa ( Though my money is on the former).

Either way America should be aware of how Europe (i.e. the EU) works.

Vote until you get the right result you want.

Amnesty - an idea whose time has past.

Once it was a great social experiment, but as practiced in 1986, it was doomed to failure then, because of promises made and never kept. People chide Reagan for signing the legislation then, but like most of us, he sincerely believed the proposals offered in the legislation would be carried out.

Didn’t happen. So, granted that we were suckered in once with a set of promises that never panned out, what provisions are in the bill offered up now, that would change ANYBODY’s mind about the probable outcome?

The answer, of course, is that exact same game of three-card monte is on the table, this time with a much bigger pot, with the same predictable outcome. The sucker gets skinned again.

It could probably be overlooked, if all that was lost was this month’s rent. But this is taking out a mortgage on our future that shall NEVER be repaid, with the interest compounding exponentially.

Ironically, I commented the other day that Bush reminds me of Jason...just when you thought it was gone, the hideous beast is right there again.

A great pic for the future when speaking English is only allowed on the Moon and that is under attack too.

Ahem, it would expedite the already promoted destruction of our constitutional freedoms.

Better?

I think we complicate things too mush. President Bush is merely jealous of Jimmy Carter’s legacy and is in stiff competition for the title of worst president.
