O's State of the Union speech.

Did you listen to the Republican response? She specifically stated they are going to pass legislation on immigration aka amnesty!!! These dirt bags think everyone is so wrapped up in trying to make ends meet that they will ignore the side burner of immigration and the Republicans can polish up their image of doing nothing by signing something and getting their fingers dirty.

I don't care if they do nothing, it's better than doing the wrong thing! They say the public complains that nothing is getting done, but when you're up against the agenda that this administration is trying to push, doing nothing is the best thing.

If Boehner and Co. come back from the retreat and push amnesty, I truly believe the entire political system is going to self destruct. I don't believe there is any way the Republican party is going to survive this.

Collapse is going to be the operative word for the Republican party afterwards.

If the amnesty passes, this will mark a new chapter in American history.

I'm not sure that I really want to be around to see the change.

I don't know what the outcome of the retreat meeting will be. Predicting is fraught with hazards. I have been very confident in the past only to be WRONG and abysmally disappointed.

What I do know is that our immigration laws are NOT broken. They are just fine. Where the broken part emerges is that a segment of our POLITICAL system IS broken i.e., the liberal, progressive, scofflaw, Democrat, socialist communist, anarchists, subversives that are swamping our nation.

We do not need any comprehensive immigration reform. We need LAW ENFORCEMENT of the present requirements AND an immediate moratorium on ALL immigration, both legal and illegal.

I have some analogies that are rather controversial and thus I won't post them as they are a bit dicey. However, what we are actually faced with here, upon analysis, is the VERY dangerous influence of the illegal immigrants and more specifically those from the Spanish Speaking countries in North, Central and South America. *( Yes Mexico is in North America geographically ). Their influence in our political scene is powerful, very dangerous and WINNING ! Yes prevailing. The weak character politicians, whose political career is /are more important to them than the proper, right and moral rights of the American people is leading to sell out. Those characters will roll over.

I hasten to point out that the condemnation of Congress, as a whole, with a 13% approval rating has to be carefully analyzed and understood. There are numerous just fine decent and astute Congressmen and some Senators who are absolutely intelligent, well balanced and who fully understand the problems of our nation. What is troubling is that our political system has been contaminated with immoral, slovenly, dufus, low IQ politicians.

We have too many undesirable, low life's, here, now in our country. I'm not referring to Hitler's super-race. I'm referring only to good, decent, intelligent citizens with good moral character, adequate intelligence and the faculties to distinguish right from wrong.

Admitting millions more of the low life human detritus from other countries will further degrade the quality of our life. *( Note: When I was covering Mexico as a product manager, my Mexican representative said the difference between US America and Mexico is the quality of the people !!! ).
