In this clip, NPR anchor Maria Hinojosa associates calling illegal immigrants “illegal immigrants” to the slaughter of Jews in Nazi Germany.
Yes, accurately stating that someone has violated our national sovereignty and our nation’s immigration laws is EXACTLY the same as slaughtering 6 million Jews.
What was I thinking, calling an illegal alien an “illegal immigrant”?!
I suppose, based on what passes for “logical thinking” on the part of this Leftist, that because many people have broken traffic laws, we should give illegal aliens a pass for having violated our national sovereignty and immigration laws.
One might point out to this intellectual giant that when most people violate the law, society acknowledges that the law has been broken, and that the lawbreaker deserves punishment. This is even true in the cases she mentioned (traffic violations, failure to pay child support).
Only liberals believe people ought to be able to break the law and get a pass for it. Let me say that again: only liberals believe people should be allowed to violate our national sovereignty and our immigration laws and get a pass for it.
Perhaps we should point out, too, that only Leftists are stupid enough to believe that a group of people should be wiped out because of their ethnicity. Just check with your Margaret Sanger/Planned Parenthood types who want to wipe out black people through abortion, or your National Socialist (Nazi) types who wanted to wipe out those dirty, inferior Jews.
Since conservatives don’t believe in wiping out people groups based on their ethnicity, and liberals are too eager to procure a new voting block among illegal aliens, it’s pretty clear that illegal aliens are safe even if we do describe them by their behavior, i.e. illegal immigration.
Being the typical Leftist, I’m sure she would rather we all use a term that flows off the tongue less easily (it’s harder to deal with an issue if it’s harder to communicate about that issue), but “illegal immigrant” or “illegal alien” works just fine. It incurs no additional danger (however powerful the imaginations of Leftists might be), and it accurately describes an illegal behavior, so let’s just all put on our grownup-pants here.
Folks, we cannot-we MUST not-surrender language and meaning to these liberal merchants of perversion. Hold fast to what is right and true, and insist that the truth be met and acknowledged head-on.

Ryan T. Anderson has a great series of articles about marriage at Ricochet, released in conjunction with his new book, co-authored with Sherif Girgis and Robert P. George, What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense. Anderson discusses why marriage matters, what marriage is, and why government has a role in protecting marriage from being undermined or counterfeited.
Last Friday, an 84-year-old President Reagan appointee, North Carolina Federal Judge James C. Fox, issued a ruling declaring the state’s “Choose Life” license plates to be an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment, giving the ACLU its desired victory against the message, “Please don’t choose to kill your pre-born baby.”
Phillips Brooks was born DECEMBER 13, 1835. The bishop of the Episcopal Church in Massachusetts, Phillips Brooks took a trip to the Holy Land in 1865, and wrote home: "After an early dinner, we took our horses and rode to Bethlehem...Before dark, we rode out of town to the field where they say the shepherds saw the star. It is a fenced piece of ground with a cave in it (all the Holy Places are caves here), in which, strangely enough, they put the shepherds..."
In 2013, $2.2 trillion of the $3.65 trillion budget will be on so-called “mandatory” spending — a Washingtonian euphemism for automatic spending. It just operates on autopilot, and even increases of its own accord as a function of the rising population that qualifies for benefits and built-in cost-of-living adjustments. But is such a design constitutional?
Taxpayers are footing the bill for thirty five union officials at the U.S. Department of Transportation, which spent $4.8 million dollars in union salaries in 2012, paying an average salary of $138,175 per year according to a report released by Americans for Limited Government today.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
