By the time McCain "legalizes" 30m illegal aliens, the result will be the same, and more likely, because there will be no loyal opposition.
Agreed. This is the way I look at it.
Perhaps upwards of 90% of Americans tend to "catch" the short term threats to our Republic but often fail to fully catch the long term threats, because the latter require much deeper analysis and more savvy future projection. This explains our growing inability as a nation to catch, in the years and months leading up to it, what the Japanese would do on Pearl Harbor or al Qaeda would do on 9-11, but our national engagement and our attention span kicks in fully once things get hopping and "in our face". In the case of Pearl Harbor, it was "not too late". We vanquished the enemy and maintainined our liberty and sovereignty. That may not always be the case. Here is why:
The immigration amnesty fiasco which McCain perpetuated and will do as president, will be the LONG TERM, SLOW,INCREMENTAL UNDOING of the United States, demographically and more importantly ELECTORALLY. Millions upon millions of heretofore Illegal Aliens but now "regularized" and naturalized, will go out and vote in DROVES and vote solid liberal Democrat, and then you will have the inability to elect any Conservative Majority in this nation by the sheer numbers (this is what the lib media calls "The Changing Face of America"). And then, it is over. One big statist, third-world cesspool run by a liberal democratic oligarchy safely ensconced in power election after election after election. This will be just as deadly as Abu Sayyef or al-Qaeda, the argument of the McCainiacs for his election.
But whether Obama/Clinton OR McCain are elected is rather, objectively speaking, insignificant. In eight years, there will not be a United States for me to return to in either case, for the above erosive reasons.
