   Well, let me clue you some Grahamnesty — somewhere between about 2/3 and 3/4 of Americans DO NOT APPROVE OF AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS — PERIOD. Every attempt at even the most meager amnesty has failed in the last 5 years CONSISTENTLY. And you seriously want to revisit this subject? ..you freakin’ moron.

    There seem to be a lot of gay folks among us these day…not exactly a news flash.

    Certainly they are not all the same. But I often find a strain of defiance (“oppositional defiance disorder,” we might say) in their behavior.

    Take that little twirp who gave all our secrets to WikiLeaks, for example. Or how about those famous Cambridge queers (Burgess, Philby, Blunt, etc.) who were passing British and American secrets to the Soviets during and after WWII? In many cases, I think that sexual “deviance” is a willful choice that is very mixed up with a defiant personality syndrome. And the sexual “orientation,” like deviant political stances is part of the same pattern of defiance and willfulness.

    And this is what I see in Lindsey Graham…an intelligent, sly, treacherous, relentlessly defiant personality. And there is always, also, the component of exacting revenge on the group that such types are selling out. The group, of course, whether the nation, the political party, or the largely heterosexual culture is experienced by the defiant personality as the chaffing restraints that must be escaped and, often, then taunted or subverted.

    That is pretty much the way I see Lindsey Graham, his personality, his sexual “ambiguity,” and his politics.

While these two soldiers would make up wild claims (like that one of their father’s jumped into Vietnam with them in their ruck when they were a baby), McCain and Graham try to out do eachother by seeing which one can snuggle up to the Dems(and the media) the most.

    HI IGNATIUS REILLY–#24. I don’t think that the traitorous Private who gave our secrets to WikiLeaks was motivated by his “gayness”. He–and many others–seem to have very poor ways of thinking and acting. I knew many “screw-ups” in my brief Army service long ago. Some were “gay”, some were drug users, some were just crazy or stupid. And lots of them were “straight”.
    ***
    And later–I found out that some people whom I respected and who were very clear thinking and competent co-workers were “closet gays” who came out into open view later.

    Here is the opening salvo for the amnesty bill: Immediately seal the border (this could reduce all those guns going south because Americans are just bad) and require a 4% “service fee” on all monies wired to other countries. The beneficiaries of these funds should be the border states’ hospital emergency rooms.

    The point is they are all the same. Vote for whomever you want and it doesn’t make a difference.

    The problem with leadership by election is the need for the leaders to get elected.

    While that sounds silly, but it is the problem. Imagine a parent needing the approval for a child to be able to maintain authority over that child.

    The point is not that elected officials are parents and constituents are children, but that sometimes the right thing to do is not the popular thing. . . and sometimes the popular thing is not the right thing.

    This is why the way America does democracy won’t work. The only possible way would be if there is a balanced budget amendment. Otherwise there is no punishment for their promising money and obligations of future generations. In fact they are rewarded for spending as much of other peoples’ money as possible.

    It’s a complicated picture and maybe I overstated the prevalence of what I see as one particular personality pattern that is sometimes a part of it.

    (FWIW, I don’t have much of a specifically, religiously-derived moral code nor is there any religious aspect to my hostility to homosexuality. I do believe in Nature, though, and regardless whether there was ultimately a “god” in the background, the coupling of same-sex pairs was clearly not “nature’s plan.” Science now tells us that there are a few gay pigeons, and such, just as there have always been a few gay humans. But I think it preposterous to believe that this modern pandemic of homosexuality is a true expression of something that has always been there in nature. Animals — except for humans — aren’t very self-conscious and we can trust the authenticity of their behaviors, including their sexual behaviors which, overwhelmingly, follow nature’s scheme. Darwin punishes deviant genes in this area rather severely. The libs like to talk about what is “socially constructed” and, IMO, this outbreak of homosexuality is “socially constructed.” And when has it been prevalent in a culture except in periods of propitious decline such as during Rome’s fall and Germany’s Weimar decent into madness? It is as a conservative that I shriek, “Have you all gone mad!?!” And, thus, I go out of my way to to express my own oppositional defiance in this matter, not giving a hoot about the latest trends in manners or morals. Unfortunately, many otherwise admirable people have fallen into this sexual-identity confusion; I am not blind to the fact that many of them continue to continue to participate constructively in society in spite of their illness.)

    You put too much importance in your own vote. No matter who you vote for, you are allowing someone else to speak for you. If you vote for people who appoint the senator, your vote is not any more or less important when you vote for governor or your state’s general assembly representative.

If they want to be Americans, we have a path to citizenship, more generous than any other nation, and it starts in their home country.

    We need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of the law or devolve into anarchy. Our Republic only functions if everyone follows the same rules. We should not change the laws to accomodate those breaking them.

    If America annouces to the world “We can’t stop you, so come on in” with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn’t get your attention, then wait until it’s 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress’ to give away. America belongs to We the People. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It’s O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.

    Virginia Patriot, you speak passionately and persuasively.

    (I should post more earnestly instead of so snarkily. Although 64-years-old, I really should try to stay at least a little positive until, say, 70. Then I’d be fully entitled to go into old-coot mode. But it seems ridiculous that we should have to argue so fervently that this country has a right to secure borders and to determine who comes in JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Unfortunately, there have long been people in this country who have perceived it as in their interest to dilute the European stock that made America a culturally coherent country. But it really is not useful to get too specific about who those people are and why they created and insisted on such a strong narrative of “immigrant America.” Not that I am by any means against immigration, and diverse immigration. In fact, I worry that it is not diverse enough. And I don’t want the number to be overwhelmingly. And I don’t want all the new arrivals to be in need of public assistance rather than able to contribute. But there is a powerful element that always felt a little like outsiders and preferred an America that was extremely cosmopolitan and hated the Norman Rockwell sort of America where they didn’t feel they belonged. Enough said. Blurting out the truth is just not useful.)

    Seriously, I haven’t enjoyed reading the comments and laughing so frequently in a long time.

    You’d think that McCain and Graham must have slept through the past 3-years and napped during Nov.2nd. These two are going to be responsible for term limits being imposed on Congress, I hope. Lest we forget, there are a couple of bimbos in Maine who need to retire or walk across the aisle also. Lindsay, you can be a bimbo too! Take a permanent walk to the wild side of the aisle where you’ll be more comfortable

    The Beltway truly is a sound-proof dome, isn’t it? They have no idea what the mood of the country is, or more particularly, what their own constituents want. Appetite for immigration reform? Not so much. How about enforcement of existing laws? That’s something the public could sink its teeth into.

    If they asked for volunteers, they’d be overwhelmed.

    The truth is, neither party is interested in enforcing our laws. Both parties want the country to be over run by illegal foreign nationals. Different reasons, but we all suffer the consequences.
