Borders Books - 1830 Westwood Blvd, Westwood, CA
Wednesday (11/27) - 6:30 pm - Book Signing/Speech
Garden Grove Women's Club - 9501 Chapman Ave., Garden Grove, CASuch a charge could effectively crush the Bush administration's outreach program to the huge (and growing) numbers of Hispanic voters who are in this country LEGALLY, but many my most passionate conservative FRiends have chosen to force this extremely important issue into the forefront of our political discussions.
Fortunately, Michelle Malkin may be the IDEAL person to lead this charge. Like Ann Coulter, she is a young attractive woman - which should not matter in the ideal world of well-reasoned political discourse, but really DOES matter in the superficial world of "television journalism." Good looks get her in the door, and then good THINKING delivers her powerful conservative message.
As I understand it, Michelle's brief appearance on Hugh's show this Monday is a "trail balloon" of sorts, to determine if she should be on his show again in the future - perhaps even as a regular weekly guest! - so please be on your best behavior. :o)Let us show Hugh, and Jim Robinson - and President Bush! - that there **is** room in the GOP's "big tent" for BOTH serious proponents of immigration reform AND for advocates for an expanded Hispanic outreach...

Post here to the thread if you'd like to be on the Michelle Malkin list.
IMHO, such incendiary graphics are part of the PROBLEM, not part of the SOLUTION.I personally have no problem with Latinos representing FIFTY percent of the US population, if they are here LEGALLY.
My concern is with LEGAL immigrants, who are willing to ASSIMILATE into our culture, as immigrants have done here for CENTURIES - from ALL OVER the world.
Great essay to go along with your announcement.Thanks.
We need to make this issue a MAINSTREAM position of the GOP, IMHO.I (and others) really had to twist some arms to get Michelle on Hugh's show - even for this perhaps ten-minute trial appearance, and to keep this thread prominently displayed here on this forum...
If such solid conservatives as Jim Robinson and Hugh Hewitt are concerned about being associated too closely with the proponents of immigration reform, you KNOW that there is a public relations problem with our current approach. :)Fortunately, Michelle is a BABE, and she is articulate - so SHE could easily be the new face for our movement, IMHO - not-white, not-male, not-raving lunatic. :o)
Careful, Drill Alaska.

Agreed. I posted this elswhere today, but I think it's also appropriate here...Both major parties, for different reasons, have ignored the problem of Illegal Aliens for so long that there is serious exasperation within the electorate on this issue. In their frustration many cast about for whatever "solution" appears on the political radar. Hence, the calls for immigration moratoriums and troops on the borders.Setting aside questions of necessity or efficacy with either troops or moratoriums, they are not only politically unfeasible themselves, they distract attention from slam-dunk, incremental solutions regarding Illegals, and arm pro-Illegal demagogues with easy talking points.
Equating all Latinos with Illegals does the same thing. I fully understand that the bulk of the Illegal population in the U.S. hails from Latin America, and realistic solutions will address that. But there's no reason to engage in clumsy rhetoric that enables the RINOs, the Democrats, the Left, and the press to make the false anti-Illegal = anti-Latino = racist equation.

Agreed on all points.
This issue is a loser if the raving lunatic faction holds sway. Also a loser if the amnesty appeasers prevail. Very touchy issue, but one so easily solved. Hopefully, her appearance on Hewitt will be the start.
Iran says they have sleeper cells in the US just in case America decides to mess with them. If Iran can do it, how about Red China? Cuba? Mexico? Or any nation sending in cells as insurance?
Millions and millians came in during the open boarder policy of the Clinton reign of terror. He just opened the doors to everyone reguardless of background checks because he wanted the democrat votes! (Ba$tard!)
Sabertooth: Not only is Michelle extremely talented, she's just a nice.And, immigration is NOT her only concern.
I've dropped her an email or two thanking her for various articles and SHE ALWAYS REPLIES!!
See, for example, from CAPITALISM MAGAZINE.COM:The Rise of Religious Radio
by Michelle Malkin (October 9, 2002)
Summary: What's nuts is for the publicly subsidized radio chieftains to lament the unfairness of hardball private competition while they continue to draw on taxpayer funds to fight back.
[CAPITALISM MAGAZINE.COM]NPR liberals are horrified. Across the country, thousands of radio listeners are tuning out conservative-basher Nina Totenberg, and tuning in conservative heroine Phyllis Schlafly.
The growing Christian radio audience is bidding "adieu" to "Morning Edition" and saying "Amen" to gospel music hour. They're giving the boot to "Car Talk's" Click and Clack and greeting each daybreak with evangelical teachings and preachings.
Christian radio is on the rise. And as always, the government-subsidized left is whining about this unexpected competition to its secular media monopoly.
