Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis - a good hot cup of coffee. ~ Alexander King

GOP Bloggers (Mark Noonan) Un Gran Backlash, Part II — “Those protesters with their foreign flags did us a really big favor - they brought to public attention just what a large problem illegal immigration is.”

Independent Conservative (Darnell MaGavock) A Welfare State With Illegal Immigration Offers Companies a Better Deal Than Slavery — “Let me start by saying I don’t endorse either slavery or illegal immigration. But looking at things from the economic standpoint of a company that hires illegals today versus the use of slave labor in the 18th and 19th centuries, illegal immigration offers companies a better deal than any slave owner ever had. The reason is the modern day welfare state that is known as America.”

Say Anything (Billy Rubin) “Legitimate” tactics from illegitimate bastards — “Well, according to Hamas, the official government of the Palestinians strappin’ a bomb to a seventeen-year-old and settin’ him off in a crowded restaurant, killing 9 and wounding at least 60, is a “legitimate tactic” in their war against Israel. Meanwhile, poppin’ a couple terrorist leaders in a car with a Hellfire missile (using a smaller warhead to reduce the risk of killing bystanders) is “terrorism.” ”

The Young Conservative (Geoff Smock) On the Immigration Debate — “The ongoing national debate over immigration has not been, as so many issues are, one of right vs. left or Republican vs. Democrat, but one between two diverse elements within the Republican Party. On one side you have the enforcement crowd, what I would say comprises the majority of the party. This wing is primarily interested in stronger border enforcement along the Mexican-American border and is intensely opposed to any amnesty, real or perceived, for illegal aliens currently within the country. On the other side are those Republicans, mostly the president and free marketers, who stress the importance of immigration to the country and the economy and support the enactment of a guest worker program.”

California Conservative (Gary Gross) The Twelfth Imam — “The world has watched as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made one outrageous statement after another, all the while scratching its collective head at the statements.”
