"This crap of making new laws to get around enforcing/obeying the old ones stink like a dead dog."

Which is why the reason given by Boehner for voting NO (penalty for small business) rings hollow. Very hollow. This was already the law. You're absolutely correct.

"I knew that didn't sound like your writing. You're a plagiarist, just like Joe Biden."

A little harsh unless you're kidding--which I assume you are.

"You got caught red handed, so don't be calling me names. You post something like that without giving credit, you're a plagiarist. Plain and simple."

Guess you weren't kidding, after all.

This is what RR thought and did about immigration....in reply to your post last night:

From
"Reagan Embraced Free Trade and Immigration"
by Daniel Griswold

Like President George W. Bush today, Reagan had the good sense and compassion to see illegal immigrants not as criminals but as human beings striving to build better lives through honest work. In a radio address in 1977, he noted that apples were rotting on trees in New England because no Americans were willing to pick them. "It makes one wonder about the illegal alien fuss. Are great numbers of our unemployed really victims of the illegal alien invasion or are those illegal tourists actually doing work our own people won't do?" Reagan asked. "One thing is certain in this hungry world; no regulation or law should be allowed if it results in crops rotting in the fields for lack of harvesters."

In his farewell address to the nation in January 1989, Reagan beautifully wove his view of free trade and immigration into his vision of a free society: "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get here."

Compare Reagan's hopeful, expansive, and inclusive view of America with the dour, crabbed, and exclusive view that characterizes certain conservatives who would claim his mantle. Their view of the world could not be more alien to the spirit of Ronald Reagan.

I bet McCain was the kiss of death for Shadegg...
