Recent days have been particularly active times in the illegal immigration debate. Since it is difficult to keep up with all that is going on, this is the fifth of five postings which will present excerpts from a range of…

I’m starting to wonder about the conservative blogs lately. All of my favourite blogs are taking yet again a harsh tact against Bush.
The speech last night on immigration was good, and the policies seem pragmatic and conservative to me.
He’…

I don’t know how many will stay away, but if the behavior and attitudes don’t change…and if there isn’t a clear conservative leader who steps forward, I’m done. No more voting for the lesser of two evils.

As Michelle has noted, Monday’s big push for amnesty was just more of the same old, same old from an administration in which official cynicism long ago became the modus operandi. Still, credit is due to the President’s talented team…

Given that I blog and the president delivered an important speech last night, I feel somehow that I should share my thoughts with our readers. And while I am not as disappointed in the speech as Bruce and many others on the right seem to be, I was not…

Liberal and Conservative alike are lining up to kick the President in the crotch, either for suggesting we do something or for not suggesting enough. And while I’d like to take my turn at the Presidential nards, let me take a step back and try to be …

We scan the sphere…so you don’t have to: * Real Clear Politics: GOP ‘06 Prospects Took a Hit Last Night * Powerline: Reconquista, Here We Come! * Michelle Malkin: Same old, same old * Bainbridge: Bush’s speech * Hot Air:…

When did we stop viewing American citizenship as something special, something sacred?

When did we stop caring about our country’s sovereignty and safety? Then again, maybe we didn’t – but Washington sure did. Last night, the President unveiled h…

In addition to being a Religious Republican, GWB has always looked at things from a 'big picture' perspective. His tax cuts, his War on Terror….and there are probably more examples that this, but you get the picture. He has always looked…

(Scroll for round-up and reacts, I will be adding to it for a while.) I have been working on immigration issues for a decade, writing about it for over 3 years and as the crisis developed over that time

This must be the most offensive and problematic point of the speech. It’s the “they’re going to have sex anyway so let’s give them free condoms” ideology. It doesn’t work and it produces more problems than it prevents.

For the most part I was impressed with the speech. It had several good points but there are still some reservations that I have with the overall plan. First the Good.
