RLC National: Wrong On Immigration

A couple weeks back, I laid out my vision on the immigration issue. No amnesty, border security, one set of rules for everyone. Pretty straightforward stuff, even mostly endorsing a plan put forward by a Republican Liberty Caucus national board member.

Sadly, RLC National has gone ahead and released a plan that panders to Hispanics and apologists for illegals, with a supporting op-ed in the Examiner by RLC National Chairman Dave Nalle. I should point out that this is likely the only significant national issue where I disagree with Dave; however, this issue is very significant. I will urge the RLCVA state board to oppose this plan.

Amnesty now will be like the 1986 amnesty times ten, and there still won’t be any border security. We’ve seen this movie before. Washington will spend more energy coming up with a hundred excuses why they can’t secure the border than it would take to actually do so. No amnesty. If you’re illegal, go home and go to the back of the line, whether you entered illegally or overstayed a visa. No whining, no excuses.

‘Comprehensive’ immigration ‘reform’, reality, and rhetoric

Right now, the President is trying, along with Dianne Feinstein and the other usual suspects, to push legislation that would further abrogate our Second Amendment rights. Most Republicans in Congress are finding their courage, despite the bizarre sideshow that is Piers Morgan, and standing up to this to one degree or another.

But we’re not here to talk about that, at least not this evening. No, the focus is on the subject of the other great push about to be made by (most) Democrats and (some) Republicans, ‘comprehensive immigration reform’, aka AMNESTY. Yes, kids, that’s what it’s called when you reward people for illegal behavior. And make no mistake, when you let people who have entered the United States illegally stay, pay their kids’ college tuition, and make it possible for them to gain citizenship, you are REWARDING that behavior. The President will team up with Democrats and RINOs in Congress like John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who tried this in 2006-07 and were shocked when the people rose up and made it clear they weren’t having any of this. Now, the usual suspects say, the political environment is different. Republicans supposedly need to bow down, give up their principles, and pursue the Hispanic vote by offering them special privileges, free stuff, and amnesty, as the “Cafe Con Leche Republicans” insist.

Like hell. As I stated after the election, the LAST thing we need to be doing is rolling over. This will allow the left to import more third-world collectivists who will vote for the nanny state and handouts and strain our health care system and infrastructure even more. These people also may not share our culture. Libertarians might be apoplectic at this idea, and that’s fine. What they’re missing, as Ilana Mercer put it, is the civilizational aspect to libertarianism. In their rush to see who score the highest on libertarian purity tests, they’re missing the place where purist neolibertarian philosophy crumbles when it comes into contact with reality. Immigration is one such area. Aaron Alghawi, a national board member of the Republican Liberty Caucus, has come up with what I consider a reasonable starting point for a pro-liberty immigration platform. It’s lacking in two areas. Firstly, we need to secure the border in a serious and sustained fashion. A wall/fence with vehicle barriers and geophones from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. No excuses. Second, everyone here illegally should have to go ‘home’ and get in line behind everyone else and apply for re-entry. Again, no excuses. No one gets treated any better or worse, and no one gets a break because of whom they know. This will meet with opposition from many libertarians, including much of the RLC national leadership. So be it. As the Virginia state chair of the RLC, I’ll fight to see such a platform on this issue adopted at our national convention in a few months.

Purist libertarians will call me racist, classist, nativist, etc. That’s fine. Bring it on. I’m ready. My policy prescriptions here are buttressed by reality. Rhetoric doesn’t scare me, whether it comes from the left, or from libertarians of one stripe or another. As such, I proclaim it is the duty of every patriot to prevent ANY immigration policy from becoming law that gives amnesty, retards enforcement of existing immigration law, or gives out privileges or rewards to those here illegally. And please… stop referring to illegal aliens as ‘undocumented’ and the like. It just makes you look cowardly, and worse, politically correct.

And when terrorists target those sites… (With updated thought)

…and kill innocent civilians who work there, pollute the environs and disrupt the economies of these nations, Julian Assange will claim it wasn’t his fault.

A long list of key facilities around the world that the US describes as vital to its national security has been released by Wikileaks.

In February 2009 the State Department asked all US missions abroad to list all installations whose loss could critically affect US national security.

The list includes pipelines, communication and transport hubs.

Several UK sites are listed, including cable locations, satellite sites and BAE Systems plants.

Burn in hell, Assange. The blood of the people who will be targeted by terrorist scum is on your hands, and I sincerely hope when you go to hell, you take the longest, most painful road possible.

UPDATE: I just had an interesting thought based on the statement of Ben Laurie, a London-based computer security expert who has advised WikiLeaks.

“Julian’s a smart guy and this is an interesting tactic. He will hope it deters anyone from acting against him.”

My thought is that dear Julian has now brought down the psychotic rage of every sociopathic camel fucker onto himself.

Think about it! Assange has warned that if anything happens to him, the key to the encryption of the insurance file will be released, and thousands of unredacted, secret files will hit the Intertubez.  OK.  So how many al Qaida and Taliban assholes out there would give their hairy little nutsacks to see these files, and how many of them wouldn’t hesitate to eviscerate Assange and throw his worthless carcass into a river somewhere just so the encryption can be unlocked and the secrets contained in those files released?

As far as I can see, any enemy of America should now be ready to take Assange out just to see those documents released – documents that could ostensibly help the terrorists harm America.  Is dear Julian ready to be a martyr for the cause?

I hope so.

Please, touch that junk!

The stories of TSA abuse are rolling in, faster than a fat guy on a moped! 

A traveler with a urostomy bag claims an abusive TSA freak busted the seal on his bag , leaving him humiliated and covered in urine.

Another traveler shows a video of a young boy groped by a TSA goon.

I’ve already mentioned the TSA dumbass who confiscated nail clippers from an armed Guardsman, because he could ostensibly take over the plane with them.

So given the fact that Homeland Nazi Napolitano refuses to even consider rolling back the Gestapo, here you go.

Damn the CHERTOFF (UPDATED with more goodness)

On the heels of yesterday’s hilarious video in which two dogs explain exactly what the Fed is doing with our money, I submit this to you. I’ll admit I didn’t realize that former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff had a very significant economic interest in the sale of airport scanners – yes, the very same scanners that allow TSA goons to ogle your naked image, unless you submit to them “touching your junk” instead.  But apparently, much like the BENBERNANKE (the “e” is silent), the WILLIAMDUDLEY and other members of the banking cabal who have undeniable ties to the GOLDMANSACHS, Chertoff has a teeeeeeeny, tiiiiiiiiny conflict of interest in the Strip Scanner.

Since the attempted bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports.
    
What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines. Chertoff disclosed the relationship on a CNN program Wednesday, in response to a question.

An airport passengers’ rights group on Thursday criticized Chertoff’s use of his former government credentials to advocate for a product that benefits his clients.

Ooooops!  A former head of Homeland Security, who ostensibly has security “cred” and the proper authority to scare the living shit out of Americans with his first-hand expertise on the terrorist threat recommends full body scanners which are coincidentally manufactured by a client of his consulting firm?

As one dog said to another in the video below, (robotic voice) “You. have. got. to. be. shitting. me.” (/robotic voice)

And by the way, if you’re wondering where some of that stimulus cash has gone…

Well, some of it has gone indirectly into the pockets of Michael Chertoff and the Chertoff Group.

In the summer, TSA purchased 150 more machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. Rapiscan was the only company that qualified for the contract because it had developed technology that performs the screening using a less-graphic body imaging system, which is also less controversial. (Since then, another company, L-3 Communications, has qualified for future contracts, but no new contracts have been awarded.)

Meanwhile, the barely literate, semi-simian TSA goons will continue to either ogle your naked goodies inside the scan, or finger your wheelchair-bound grandma just in case she represents a threat.  And I’m sure they will eventually bow to CAIR demands that Muslim women only be submitted to a pat down of their heads and not anywhere else. Because they couldn’t possibly hide an explosive in the hijab, right?  And an invasive groping by TSA goons will likely offend their delicate Muslim sensibilities, so we can’t have THAT!

Get this straight, folks.  Muslims are the ones trying to kill us, but Muslims are the ones who will likely get an exemption from the special groping the rest of us will receive courtesy of the TSA.

Excellent!!

Meanwhile, a recent CBS poll revealed that the majority of Americans (81 percent) have no problem with their goodies being on full display at the airport through the Chertoff scanner.  They think they’ll be safer.  However, most of them oppose profiling – either ethnic or racial – as a means of deterring terrorists. Therefore, it’s perfectly OK to force white grandmothers to spread their cheeks for TSA inspections, but leave the goat-smelling, swarthy Middle Eastern blokes alone.

Once again, I submit that the sheeple have gotten exactly what they deserve – both in elected office and at the airport.

Me? I’ll be taking my car places as much as possible. While I realize that it’s nearly impossible to avoid flying at times, I’ll be taking extra special effort to ensure I don’t step foot into an airport that has one of those odious things.  In the meantime, I’ll need to decide whether I prefer fully clothed groping to naked ogling.

Hmmmm… tough choice.

UPDATE: My buddy Mike has some damn good lines to utter to the TSA child molesters when going through enhanced security.

My favorite line out of the bunch:  “That feels familiar. Do you go to the glory hole at Chester Street?”

I would add that allowing your panties to soak in some not-so-fresh tuna fish for a few days before putting them on will give the TSA Grope Brigade an extra whiff of sumthin’ sumthin’ if they choose to get close to your junk.
