In Search Of...
...the perfect political party
Political parties supposedly exist only for their own continuance, although the Democrats may give lie to that given their battlecry: "Give me abortion or give me death!" (pardon the redundancy). And there is also their lack of enthusiasm for defending America. Lots of self-hating in the Hate America First crowd.
But I've gotten off on a tangent already. This post is not to criticize the Democratic party or wonder at its self-destructive tendencies. It's to point out that the Republican party, as a strategy aimed only for its own continuance, spends money like a drunken sailor. It also worships the Hispanic vote and will do anything for it. Would Gonzales be getting the nod for Attorney General if his name was Smith? I think not. Should Gonzales's comments concerning the use of torture rule him out as AG? Absolutely.
And of illegal immigration? Be a lot worse if there were Muslims coming over the border and not Catholics. As it is, I'm growing more sanguine about it. Peter Brimelow in The Worm in the Apple says "America fails its children both rich and poor. Unless it reduces or removes the teacher union monopoly, that is not likely to change. So President Bush is proposing instead a Saudi education policy: import low-paid Mexicans to do the menial work and clever Asians to win science doctorates. That way America will do well even if Americans don't."
