America Strikes Back!

Okay, I couldn't help telegraphing my enthusiasm in the post title. But the ride will still be a lot of fun.

Before we check in on the final cloture vote on the United States of Mexico Permanently Ruled By the DemobananaRepublic Party Act of 2007, I want to send another warm, heartfelt message to the formerly Republican senator, and near-future former senator period, from South Carolina.

This, for your consideration, is the catalyst:

“There’s racism in this debate,” Mr. Graham said. “Nobody likes to talk about it, but a very small percentage of people involved in this debate really have racial and bigoted remarks. The tone that we create around these debates, whether it be rhetoric in a union hall or rhetoric on talk radio, it can take people who are on the fence and push them over emotionally.”

Senator Graham, you pusillanimous, perfidious pissant, you can take your senatorial deliberation and go bleep yourself with it, then pass the sloppy seconds around to "Sailor," T.L. Worthless, and Uncle Teddy, who is doubtless very familiar with the concept. But be sure to save your personal Profiles in Cowardice award for your AWOL Minority Leader, who stalwartly took a powder on the whole thing yesterday and disappeared, an act of rank cowardice that puts him right down there with Bill Frist, T.L. Worthless, Bob Dole, and Howie Baker in the "Doofus" hall of fame.

Now, then. I've grown pessimistic over the past few days about the likelihood of stopping "comprehensive immigration reform". We killed it once, but Uncle Teddy vowed "nevaa" to give up. They were going to shove this open borders outrage down our throats if it was the last thing they did. Yesterday Dirty Harry Reid showed just how determined the border erasure extremists really were.

Pity for him and them that the Nevada chisler bungled it so spectacularly. The second and final jam-down blew up on the launching pad, highlighting all the process skullduggery that generated so much senatorial opposition outside the open borders cabal the first time. Suddenly the chances that this piece of crap could be extinguished a second (aaaaaand final) time were themselves resurrected.

Were those hopes justified? Is the official sanction and approval of the passive Mexican invasion of America once again six feet under, or does the beast still slouch toward the House, to assimilate fresh 'Pubbie drones to join the senatorial ones in its wake?

Aw, shucks, go see for yourself. I'm going to go kill my diet at the celebratory barbeque.

Hopefully it won't come back to life either.
