Quote of the Day

Heck, this could be the quote of the month and year:

"There is an emerging hierarchy in the world economy in which the best-paid jobs are clustered in certain nations. If America wants to be a sustainably rich nation with well-paid workers, we must explicitly compete for these jobs.

"This cannot possibbly be a matter of laissez-faire indifference in any society. The fundamental problem with laissez-faire is that it doesn't care who wins.

"And it is impossible to be too blunt about the fact that $5/hr. workers at McDonalds are not going to vote Republican. If we want a conservative society, we need to make sure we have the kind of economic base that will produce Republican voters. End of story."

-Robert Locke

Man, that's so right on.

Oh dem RACIST Cherokees

This news item should have some PC heads exploding today. Imagine, a people determining by vote as to whom qualifies for being part of their nation! It's almost as if they would wish to have immigration and citizenship laws or something - and that they be enforced! OMG!

Cherokees vote out slaves' descendants - Yahoo! News

"'The Cherokee people exercised the most basic democratic right, the right to vote,' tribal Principal Chief Chad Smith said. 'Their voice is clear as to who should be citizens of the Cherokee Nation. No one else has the right to make that determination.'"

Seriously, the Cherokees are right. But I'll bet that nobody, even the most mentally-challenged Leftist, has the gall to wage a war of political correctness upon them.

If only so many American citizens were not so wussified...

Political correctness would have killed the colonists

I really enjoy Gates of Vienna. Each visit to this blog provides food for thought. Today, I'm just going to link to a comment that was elevated to the front page. It falls right in line with everything I hope, dream and fear for our nation. Brilliant!

Gates of Vienna: A Stirring in the Forest

The American spirit that our ancestors harnessed to conquer this continent lies
somewhat dormant today, especially in certain regions of America. Our ancestors woke up in a world every morning where there were other groups of humans in the woods with a uncompromising violent warrior ideology looking to butcher our families. In an environment like that you couldn’t afford to let political correctness dictate your responses. You couldn’t wait for the authorities to come protect you. You had to be willing to take responsibility for your family’s survival into your own hands, and if that meant you had to use your technological and tactical superiority in a preemptive use of locally organized violence, local law enforcement would understand. But the further the threat was pushed away from the backyards of the northeast political elite the easier it was for them to legislate a conscience.

Hell no

Here is how an American responds to idiocy:

Mexican Reporter: "Don't you believe you're a Mexican? Don't you believe you have any loyalty to Mexico?"

Lupe Moreno: "Hell no. I have only one loyalty. That is to my country, to my flag."

See for yourself:



Remember, the Mexican government is determined that no person in the United States who is of Mexican descent ever believes in the sovereignty of our nation the way Lupe does. There are scores of Mexican consular officials scurrying about our nation like rats, and they're trying mightily to keep others from becoming real Americans. Lupe scares them.

Fourth Circuit affirms Christian Clubs' free speech rights

I've spent a bit of time reading the thoughts of some atheist leftists in the blogosphere in an attempt to gain some perspective on why they seem to hate Christians so much. It occurs to me that there probably is no such thing as a "conservative athiest" because conservatism requires thought based on the premise that there are moral absolutes to which a culture and a nation must defer, in all instances.

I'll bullet point out my observations after bringing you some yuletide cheer:

Liberty Counsel: Doors Now Wide Open for Christian Clubs at Nation's Schools

"I think it's ironic as these schools hassle the Good News Clubs, because they're great organizations," Staver shares. "They teach character, they teach morality, they teach right and wrong, they teach respect, and they do it all from a Christian viewpoint -- and the kids' lives are literally changed."

• Athiests are afraid. Only fear can raise such bile and vitriol in opposition to the very things that are the undisputable starting point for the culture and the freedoms they have.
  
• Athiests must not be very deep thinkers, despite whatever conflated inflation of their own selves they might believe. Seriously. Try as I might, I cannot find an instance of an athiest even pondering an explanation for "first cause." Do they ever go down this path, or do they consider the starting point for the universe to be truly uninteresting and so devoid of merit that they won't discuss it?
  
• Athiests approach arguments with a markedly adolescent point of view. Whenver I read their rants against religion I always get the feeling that some part of them is stuck in their teen years. The tone of their mocking is a spot-on rendition of the all-knowing everyteen lament that parents are backward and don't know anything that might be of value to them for the future.
  
• Athiests are among the most intolerant of all people. They've made up their minds that anyone who believes in God isn't worthy of respect. I'll grant that some of them don't wear their scorn on their sleeves so clearly, but I'm convinced that those who athiests who don't immediately start mocking theists for their faith immediately brand the faithful as idiots as soon as a person's faith persuasion is determined. Maybe they don't say so, but they think less of us.
  
• Theists, at least those who come from Christian upbringings, generally don't have such automatic feelings when they learn of someone's athiesm. And I think that's because there is nary a Christian who hasn't suffered a crisis of faith and recovered; the default thinking mode that a Christian assumes when confronted by the athiest is "well, there is hope that this one might come around."

That said, hooray for the Fourth Circuit. I know I'll probably never be able to say that for the Ninth!

Biden stakes out territory to mass-immigrationist's right

Hmmm. Pragmatic. Honest. Absolutely accurate. Methinks the at least some of the Democrat leadership isn't buying the data from rigged polls, have done some of their own, are ready to throw Tamar Jacoby under the bus and are steaking out winning turf for 2008:

Biden: Blame immigration woes on Mexico

"'Mexico is a country that is an erstwhile democracy where they have the greatest disparity of wealth,' Biden said. 'It is one of the wealthiest countries in the hemisphere and because of a corrupt system that exists in Mexico, there is the 1 percent of the population at the top, a very small middle class and the rest is abject poverty.'

Unless the political dynamics change in Mexico and U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants are punished, illegal immigration won't stop. 'All the rest is window dressing,' he said."

The GOP better get its act together and stop selling our sovereignty down the river or they're going to find that the bottom wasn't reached earlier this month. If it takes a "President Biden" to give the Mexican government the bitch slapping it deserves, count me in.

Note: When Tancredo says these things, he's dismissed by the less intellectually capable wing of the GOP. What are they going to say about Biden that doesn't make them look like the idiots they are?
