'Enough is Enough': While Washington Vacations, a War Rages Here at Home (Newt)

Human Events ^ | 08/14/2007 | Newt Gingrich

[ovrtaxt]

Newt is exactly right on this.

[ex-snook]

Seems the illegal was doing a job that Americans wouldn’t do.

While Baghdad Vacations, a War Rages at Their Home

[Red Badger]

He IS exactly right, and as a result, EXACTLY NOTHING will change in response to this horrendous incident. It will happen over and over and over again. Until some DC pol with an actual spine and a set of testosterone producing glands, stands up and says, THIS WILL END NOW! AND THIS IS HOW WE ARE GONNA DO IT!.........

[Dante3]

The biggest threat to this country is not Iraq but the open border and the hordes of illegal aliens who have invaded this country. From the amnesty vote, it is obvious that the enemy has already infiltrated our government.

[Vanders9]

How can he repeatedly rape a five-year old over a four year period?

[ClaireSolt]

What is really behind this is a tax system that creates perverse incentives. The Federal government has an efficient if ocercive tax collection system that takes more than it needs. It starves local and state governments and undermines their jurisdiction. So, states and local governments send representatives to try to get as much of their money back as possible. But it comes back with strings attached that keep the locals from setting good priorities.

Imagine sitting on a NO levy board and knowing that the welfare of the city depended on the vote of some senile old senator from Alaska. A city like NO, being a major port, should be prosperous on its own. Most cities in the world have been ports. The feds must have wrongly claimed revenues from ports thereby starving them of their own revenue and making them dependant on per capita revenue sharing schemes, instead.

As usual, Newt does not look to how the government creates problems. He's just for more government.

[gjones77]

Face it, things like this will never change, there’s too much money in politics.

We need term limits, period, senators and reps should be only allowed to serve 2 consecutive 4 year terms, and after your time is up that person should be restricted from working in a government post for 2 years after the completion of their terms.

This would help prevent out elected officials from getting too greedy in office, and if they do, they’ll be out in a few years anyways.

[Vanders9]

Sorry, I dont mean to minimise the seriousness of the offense, it just struck me as being a bit suspect.

[mimaw]

I tuned Newt out years ago. Even when he makes a point my revulsion of him and his ego can’t bear listening. He’s hoping to be begged to run.

[Deo et Patria]

Newt is a brilliant man, but he is a shameless political opportunist.

[ovrtaxt]

I agree, as far as that goes.

Nevertheless, he’s right about this.

[Candor7]

Yes , I agree, Newt is right. There is a border war going on which is not publicized or carried by the press. We have to learn of it from the Minutemen.

Now that war has spread into the interior parts of the US.

Over the ;ast few years we have had quite a few women killed by illegals, including a young actress in New York, Adrienne Shelly

November 10, 2006 NY Actress Murdered By Illegal UPDATE

The other day, I posted about the murder of indie-film actress Adrienne Shelly in NYC by an illegal alien who was given a job.

Today, Michelle Malkin discusses it, and also highlights the liberal policies that led to this tragic event.

To refine something I said in my original post, the quest for cheap labor has cost Shelly's family more than can ever be repaid.

******************************************

Its good to finally see Newt swing around to Duncan Hunters thinking. Duncan has had this position for over three years!

[Edgerunner]

Instead, the suspected killer should have been in jail awaiting trial, sentencing, prison and eventual deportation execution.

There...Fixed it!

[ovrtaxt]

The points you make are correct. But his solution is simple- law enforcement.

A much as I hate big government, law enforcement is a legitimate role.

[Amalie]

You are right. And enforcement would go a long way to alleviate these problems.

[Edgerunner]

He raped her until she was 9. It was poorly stated by the “writer”.

[Blue Turtle]

NEWT FOR PRESIDENT

[livius]

He’s not entirely right. One thing he does not point out, for example, is that the local authorities in NJ who are now blaming the Feds actually never reported the man’s illegal status, even while they had him in the criminal justice system. They knew about it, did not report it, and even gave him bail.

Don’t forget, Newark is a “sanctuary city,” something the Mayor of Newark himself seems to have conveniently forgotten.

[jack_napier]

He is right. I posted about it elsewhere, but a close friend of mine; his sister was kidnapped, beaten and raped by an illegal alien that worked at the same place she did. And he had a violent record. Makes what Newt is saying hit home.
