Immigration Rights Advocates Protest Proposed Laws

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189110,00.html

Let's get a few things straight.

1. You do not have the "right" to immigrate to the
United States anymore than I have the "right"
to set up camp in your front lawn in Mexico City.

2. Illegal immigrants are by definition criminals.
They have broken our immigration laws. If they
can't abide by immigration laws, why should they be
expected to abide by any other law?

3. They want to work hard and pay taxes to support
"their" country. Until you are a citizen, this
country is no more yours than Puerto Rico is mine.

The United States is a nation of laws. Follow law
or stay out. Your understandable desire for a better
life does not trump our laws. In the U.S., you
don't get to pick and choose which laws you want
to follow when it is convenient for you.

All of this said, immigrants who follow our immigration
laws and become legal citizens are welcome in my
book. I'd certainly share a seat with ya at
my local pub.

Iraq, WMD, Saddam, and the media

Read this story on msnbc and then ask yourself:

"What makes this guy's story any more believable
than anybody's elses prior to the Iraq war?"

"Why does the media now characterize this as
the truth and is somehow the smoking gun that
Bush lied?"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11927856/

Imagine yourself in the oval office. You've
been reviewing all sorts of reports regarding
WMD from your own intelligence agency, the Israelis,
the Russians, and Europe. Then, some high ranking
diplomat from Iraq with no direct ties to the
Iraqi military makes these sorts of claims.

Would you really believe him if you were
Bush.

I just love the liberal media...

Republicans Happier Than Democrats

Here's the story from the Pew Research Center...

"The Pew Research Center recently updated a question about
happiness that the National Opinion Research Center at
the University of Chicago has been asking since 1972.

In every asking of the question, ROLL CALL reports,
Republicans have been happier than Democrats.

Republicans tend to be better off than Democrats,
and that is one explanation for the happiness gap.
But when the researchers controlled for household
income, Republicans at all income levels were happier
than Democrats at those same income levels.

As for ideology, conservative Republicans were happier
than conservative Democrats, and moderate to liberal
Republicans were happier than comparable Democrats."

This is a no brainer.

The natural tendency of a Liberal is to look for
someone to solve their problems for them.

Republicans tend to view the opportunity to
solve their own problems in a positive light.

Big government rarely "solves" anything.
Thus, Liberals always wind up disappointed
while Republicans always feel they are
making progress on a long journey
to success.

They could have just sent the check to me
instead of spending all that money to
discover common knowledge.

George W. Bush's 36% approval rating is right on

Check out my Bill Schneider (CNN) impersonation of
anaylzing W's poor poll numbers:

((Robbe's time + $100's donated) / (W's part-time conservatism
+ administration's media incompetence) * liberal media^10)
= 36% approval rating.

When the pollsters called, I answered
"You bet I disapprove".

Don't get me wrong, my W '04 sticker is still
up in the old SUV. It reminds me a little bit of
dealing with my 3 year old. Even though W doesn't
always behave, I still love the guy. My son Caeden
thought that W spending a little time in the
"thinking chair" at the Morris residence would do
him some good.

My boy sure straightens up after a few minutes.
