TR had a period of clamoring for progressiveness. Roughly from the end of his presidency through 1912, when he lost as the Bull Moose candidate. If you judge him by those stupid years, then yes, he was strictly a big government progressive. But that is the same as judging Churchill by his foray into the Liberal party and his other boneheaded mistakes instead of as a whole.

“Move over Bachmann and Palin,”

Don’t move over, anyone. We need them ALL. And then some.

The fix is in with DeVore....the whole purpose of the Fiorina campaign is to run interference for Campbell....the RINO will prevail again.

As far as Arnold....he’s a left wing liberal democrat....only called himself a Republican for political viability. I’m quite certain he ran primarily to keep McClintock out. If McClintock would have won, he would have been instant presidential material of Reaganesque proportions....something the left absolutely will not tolerate.

I can’t wait until McClintock is Speaker Of The House.

Excellent speech by Tom McClintock whom should have been our Governor here in California instead of that nitwit Schwartzinkennedy.

Democrats support illegal immigration because it will turn the red states blue once they grant amnesty and automatic citizenship. They’re coming in from through the red states and branching out.

Amen! and Amen!

And to the Mexican president, I'd like to be able to tell him face to face that he has alot of nerve coming here to accuse Americans of various offenses when many if not most of his own citizens earn barely enough to survive, live in fear because of the drug running problems and he basically is the leader of one of the armpits of the world.

Finally, there is no "hispanic" race. We are not a homogenous single entity just because we speak spanish. A Cuban doctor, Guatemalan share cropper, Puerto Rican seamstress, Mexican vaquero or Panamanian fisherman are so different in temperament, skin color, religious beliefs and background that it would be similar to labeling Germans, Italians, Scandinavians, Spaniards and Poles as a European "race".

An excellent point (and overall letter), but I think part of the point of leftist racial politics is to collapse differences among European (or other white) groups and ethnicities: if all whites can be identified, say, with 19th-century British imperialists or 21st-century David Duke aficionados, then it's that much easier for liberals to prattle on about "institutional racism" and "white privilege." Diverse, in their lexicon, means "non-white," and any details beyond that are irrelevant.

I’m curious - was the Mexican president scheduled to visit and speak before Congress before Arizona passed the law? If not, then no one can convince me that this wasn’t planned by the Obama administration to slap Americans once again in the face.

That's wonderful!

Now with all that knowledge, educate us dummies about the left turn Woodrow Wilson made and how good it was for the Republic.

Popcorn's on me.

Much to the dismay of many here at FR Californians are still american citizens. Are you saying Bush isn't a patriot?

I can say that he was 100% wrong and still a patriot, with the weaknesses of modern professional politician : Political correctness and the need to be "loved," and to manufacture a legacy of "tolerance."

But still 100% wrong.

I don’t recall discussing his spending habits. Your strawman won’t work, too bad, so sad.

When you are ready to discuss the FDA, the ICC and the rest of the agencies created by TR and his statist cronies, talk to me.

McClintock could twist Obongo into a tiny crying intellectual puddle. Right on Congressman McClintock.

A friend told me about the interview Calderon did where the interviewer asked Calderon what they do in Mexico when someone isn't legally there. Calderon replied, "We send back them!"

BWAHAHA "We send back them!" Now THAT is a keeper!

“...does not understand the nature of America or the purpose of our immigration law.”

At least half of America and 99% of the world media seems to not understand it either.

Well said!! I’m glad you are an American! I would be curious to know how/if your letter is received by Mr. Smith.
