I wrote this the other night, and was just wondering what you guys here thought of my prediction. I'll post an excerpt, and the rest can be read over at http://whatwouldcharlesmarteldotm.blogspot.com/ . I'm going to try and write more on this subject when I get a chance (no time to write lately) but I was wondering where opinions over here would be on this issue:
Since 9/11 the cry for a true leader has been increasing, and with the immigration issue now firmly on the table where it has belonged for so many years, Americans are actively shopping around. Everyone knows that the major players and contenders for both the Democratic and Republican nods for the 2008 election are at this point pandering and playing to the polls as desperately as possible in these weeks of immigration protests. Though not a contender, Senator Ted Kennedy had a Spanish interpreter with him in his latest round of speeches, who looked rather absurd as she leaned (way) over to reach the microphones to translate big ol' Teddy's speeches to the angry protestors. The situation itself is absurd, make no mistake. Immigrants, many illegal, protesting sometimes quite violently to gain the right to stay in the country they reached illegally. And that our government is letting this temper tantrum continue speaks volumes about either our true tolerance and great freedoms, or simply of our lack of spirit and fortitude these days. You be the judge. I'd personally like to see illegals in a non-Western country burning their host nation's flags and taking to the streets and see how well they are treated for it. My bet would be on the local authorities in this case. And strangely, you just don't see this tactic employed. Oh, the volumes that that speaks of our situation in the world these days.
Now, I could write all night on the absurdities of the protesters and the rights of national sovereignty, but I have turned my aim onto a different opponent of late, that being the populist calls for leadership. ANY leadership in the upcoming elections. Polls continue to show that Americans are overwhelmingly for complete immigration reform and against any official and sweeping amnesty to be given to illegal aliens in the US. Yet the polls still reflect the confusion and indecisiveness of the politicians in whose hands this issue has landed. The majority of legal Americans want something done on this issue, and usually not in favor of the illegals (note to Liberals : keep saying "undocumented workers" all you want. It's never going to take hold outside of your own circles). The politicians are still being namby-pamby about it all, with only a few exceptions.

- 80% Of Americans Consider Illegal Immigration A Serious Problem - 59% Want Illegals Kicked The Fuck Out
Most of the American public is to the right of me on this issue. From Rassmussen: (Rasmussen) – Voters remain seriously worried about illegal immigration and still think stricter border control is the best way to stop it. But slightly fewer voters...
- Majority - Americans Want Illegals Deported, And Their Children Denied Citizenship
I have to say I understand. The latter portion, to deny illegals children BORN here citizenship, woul dbe unconstitutional. But if the majority of Americans want aggressive action to deport illegals, it HAS TO BE. For far too long, the immigration issue,...

Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage. He...
- Obamaland: Illegal To Arrest Illegals
From Atlas Shrugs: Have you heard about Obama's "new" federal guidelines that prevent officers from arresting illegal aliens. When did this come about? Why has no one mentioned it? Is this Obama flying under the radar net of media reporting? Have...
- It's Time To Crack Down On The Invaders
And if the military is what's needed to round up the illegals and maintain law and order, then, while I'm sure not many would want it to have to come to that, believe it or not, that's what may have to be done - deploy the army to put a stop...
