But don’t worry: once the Jeb Bush / John McCain establishment wing of the newly-branded “super caring GOP center rightests for the 100%” gets finished with their push to bring in 30 million new unskilled laborers, a Pew Research poll also suggests that, once these pre-Americans — including those who don’t as of yet identify with a specific party — accumulate some time as post-amnesty official citizens, they will more often than not come to identify. As Democrats.
So, in addition to essentially handing over the teaching of our history, the voter registration process, and the “navigational” aspects of finding government assistance programs for erstwhile illegals to leftwing activist groups — funding them as a kind of fifth branch of government (call it the “Community Organizer” branch), Republican establishment types are in a frenzy to pass legislation that would increase the population over the next decade by about 10% — 80% of whom will eventually vote for Democrats.
This, my friends, is the genius rebranding strategy of the Bush/Rove/Boehner/McCain/McConnell/Cantor axis of the GOP.
But hey: while they mind find themselves perpetually in the political wilderness, at least they will have killed off the TEA Party’s influence by way of a demographic shift, leaving themselves in a position to act as foils to big government without having to fear a movement large enough to actually bring about any of what they claim to stand for and will doubtless campaign on.
And as big government benefits both parties — because it benefits the ruling class in general — it’s a win-win for Republicans: they can fund raise on the Democrats’ governmental overreach while simultaneously enjoying the spoils of that overreach, waiting patiently to regain power as the “less left” of the two statist establishments. At which point they’ll “manage” the Leviathan as the good corporatists they are. While probably throwing us a bit of a tax break.
Cynical, diabolical, sneaky, and unconscionable, sure.
But hey, at least they’re our cynical, diabolical, sneaky, unconscionable filth-caked pigs, amiright?
You forgot “unexpectedly”, because, just like every economic downturn under Obama, no one saw this coming.
Just as with any incipient marriage illegal aliens begin by giving their prospective spouse America a good hard back-of-the-hand blow to the face, breaking her jaw if possible, in order to demonstrate their depth of commitment to her fundamental properties. She should take the message.
Not only that, we may get another King George in Britain. Truly the end times are upon us.
It’s the underpants gnome plan applied to the GOP platform; viz:
Step 1: Give the Democrats what they want.
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Win!!!
– Well 0ur cynical, diabolical, sneaky, unconscionable filth-caked pigs, in concert with the totally patrtisan, totally biasew, lying sack of shit MSM, have brought us to this. On a par with Adolph’s homeland where people are now afraid to even speak..
This can’t be true, Jeff. I read in the Tulsa newspaper that all of the illegal aliens are highly trained engineers just looking to pursue the American Dream.
I wrote them and disabused them of this notion.
People never seem to understand how you are letting the other side guide the narrative. We owe illegal aliens nothing, even if we do, what is the big rush?
Last night a dumb lady claiming to be conservative called Mark Levin and said she thinks that conservatives should drop the “tea party label” because it brings up to many bad images or some such nonsense. I was screaming at the radio “you moron, whatever, you call yourself, the left will apply all bad things to the label”.
You have to embrace an insult like “Yankee Doodle” not run away.
[all] of the illegal aliens are highly trained engineers just looking to pursue the American Dream
– He is Leigh, he is. Its the other 14 million that have huge hands for carrying the bales of weed across the border, not the engineer guy.
Ah ha! I knew there was an explanation.
oh, and so I am not called “anti – immigration” or “racists” I have always said if everyone is so sure Mexican immigration, illegal or legal, is good for the USA ( I do think legal Mexican immigrants do benefit the USA), why not make it easier to immigrate legally?
heck I even think we could make Mexico a special case as a boarder state. What are people going to do, say we are favoring Mexico? So, what, can’t sue over it.
I don’t know why we don’t do a work visa thing like Canada does. Of course, it would have to actually be enforced and therein lies the problem.
National Sovereignity is sooooo overrated.
We took the southwest from Mexico anyway, it’s only right they take it back by repopulating it.
Wait, didn’t Jeb Bush just tell us that Mexicans are natural conservatives?
Leigh, Germany is an instructive case on the whole “guest worker” concept. Post WWII, there were oodles of jobs and no males to do them, because most of them were lying in the icy embrace of Mother Russia. Thus, Turkish Guestworkers. It worked for awhile, but now creates problems, primarily to do with assimilation. The idea was, they’d ultimately go back to Istanbul, but that didn’t happen. Now it’s a problem. Simply, they do not consider themselves part of German society, even if they are citizens or their families have been in Germany since the 1950s. They consider themselves Turks. (The spouse is German so I know a little about this.)
I have no problem with immigrants who sign on to the ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence. I do have a problem with those who desire all the benefits of being here, then give us the finger. That’s what I fear with guestworkers.
Shermlaw, I grew up in California and the lack of assimilation was and still is a problem. Sadly, rather than making everyone speak the same language, the state decided to kow-tow to the non-English speaking by displaying signs in Spanish (that many couldn’t read because there is no public education in Mexico) and teaching bi-lingual classes rather than English immersion classes the way it is done in other countries. One of my friends ages ago, was the child of a diplomat and spent a great deal of his childhood in France. They just put him in class with the little French kids and after a week or two he started to catch on and became fluent in next to no time.
The idea of holding immigrants separately from the native population is the problem, indeed. Assimilate or go home.
“Your Republican Party: We’re Not Stupid, We’re Suicidal (Which Has Twice As Many Syllables So It Must Be Better).”
I saw a video on Theo’s place where a young Mexican girl self deported to protest. I think that’s a great idea!! May all of them do that….
Come to Mass Leigh. It’s bad here to.
I thought that was just Southies that didn’t speak English?
Nah Leigh, The Queens english is no longer spoken here. It’s lik all Hey nigga….and that’s from my white friends
[VIDEO] Gov. Nikki Haley Firing Guns.
That’s a trend that can’t die soon enough for me, Blitz.
I am also from California and have also spent much time in Idaho. In Idaho the 2nd generation Mexican young folk seems better assimilated than the 2nd generation in California.
I’ve found that to be the case here in Oklahoma, too bgbear. In fact, my younger son has a number of friends who are second generation Mexicans.
My mother is living in the town I was born in in California (Tulare) and she is becoming upset at the changes in her neighborhood that have made her feel unsafe. It started with a number of foreclosures around her that were bought up and turned into rental properties. She’s concerned about the amount of traffic and vehicles that are constantly on her street and neighbors that change so often, she never knows who belongs there and who may be a trouble-maker. Mom is 80 and isn’t exactly a Nervous Nelly, but she lives alone and isn’t as spry as she used to be.
OT: Amash amendment goes down 205-217. Close.

So far, I’ve been rocking the new Instapundit comment section. Most of my comments make it to the top.
C’mon you guys, sign up! I shouldn’t have all the fun!
watch that hyperlink
FBI posts fake hyperlinks to snare child porn suspects
Agency disseminates hyperlinks purporting to be illegal videos of minors having sex, and then raids the homes of anyone willing to click on them.
What is the link Di?
– They’ve been doing things similar to link trapping since the earliest days on IRC nr. They have entire chat nets set up to trap peds.
“They’ve been doing things similar to link trapping since the earliest days on IRC nr.”
seems to easy for them to set peeps up
In point of fairness: The Germans consider them Turks too, and that’s part of the problem. Europeans are far more blood and soil than credal, like we are.
I’m coming to the conclusion that “child porn” (real child porn, that is, not “bored 15-year-old-girls with cellphones” selfies) is a wildly overstated problem, and may well be entirely fictitious. Like the “duck-billed platypus”.
I mean, A Good Friend of Mine spends an hour a day cruising various porn sites, grabbing up the daily offerings, and he’s never seen any actual child porn, or links to same. And when the State needs to disappear someone and accuses them of possessing kiddie pr0n, do they ever show any of the evidence (faces and naughty bits blacked-out, of course)?
Bah. Statist/media lies. Next they’ll be telling me that cattle farts are causing the glaciers to melt…
never pay federal income taxes again, ask me how http://FU-IRS.tv
beware of the “for the children” bs
I think “real KP” exist it is just not the massive problem like drug dealing. The market is just not that big to make the risk worth it.
The other thing is that the bad stuff is made by the kids own parents or relatives and this kind of honeypot operation is not likely to catch them.
yes, newrouter, that is what worries me, set ups of political enemies.
see weiner(literally) for political ops. scarey stuff
not to mention non-political uses, need a large divorce settlement. . .
Huma would have won me over if she had snatched his phone out of his pocket and crushed it under her heel on camera. Then slapped his face and told him “see you in court!”
The real-kiddie-pr0n arrests I see written up seem to involve people producing their own (by committing the unlawful sexual conduct depicted therein) or getting it from people they already know. If it were ever freely available online those sources would have dried up either from raids or from perp paranoia as a result of raids.
Kind of like what will happen to classical-liberal speech after we’re all arrested for frequenting PW.
What is the link Di?
No link. Go to the new Insty, refresh your cache if necessary, and click a comment bubble. I was able to sign in with an existing account, but blamed if I know which one, because I use the same avatar for all of them.
Semi-inaugural comments post.
An argument about using Alinsky against Alinskyites.
On not attributing to ignorance what can better be explained by raw will to power.
The more of us p-dub folks over there the better, I reckon.
Speaking of Huma, do NOT underestimate her. McCarthy reminds us why.
no matter how rancid this fascist huma cunt is, she can’t hold a candle to food stamp
it’s a truism
Huma gets into the Big Chair in NYC, she will give food stamp a run for his money.
But not overtake him, that’s for sure.
whoreyorkers are a ruined people
like palestinians
they will have their arafat
it’s all they know
Considering his background and whom he married, Carlos Danger has to be his family’s counterpart to the Quaker-born-and-raised kid who becomes the bloodiest Hells Angel that ever cracked a skull.
what ever cracked a skull and what can’t stop touching his pee pee
So Huma and her family hate-hate-hate themselves some Jews… and so she marries Anthony Weiner, might just as well be named Jewey McJewenstein for all it matters.
It’s downright heartwarming to see our political enemies put aside their petty thousand-year-grievances to unite for the common goal of crushing anyone who dares whisper about reducing the size and power of government.
Would that we had that sort of focus and mission discipline on the Right.
Ever since PJ Media fucked over the Belmont Club comments by their absolutely stupid fucking interface, I refuse to comment at any PJ site.
Maybe Insty’s is better and I can see why PJ would want to *know* who is commenting. But when those assholes tell me how much better it is for me to remember Yet Another Fucking Password so that I can comment on all the other PJ sites that I don’t read by typing in the YAFP, I get annoyed.
Not that you can tell from what I’ve written.
I’ve stumbled on an XKCD-inspired method for choosing a variety of passwords that I have no trouble remembering. Most of the sites I use passwords on would find them insulting but, hey — I didn’t make the security rules.
Then either these are gang rape engineers or the American Dream is to pass 13 year old pussy around and forcibly violate it.
A few bad apples, Pablo. Unfortunately, they seem to be the norm rather than the exception.
The other nice thing about importing millions of new Democrat voters is that they drive blue-collar citizens out of the job market, plunging their families into dependence on Mommy State and creating millions more reliable Democrat voters.
Win-win!

Machismo. Get ready for “la mordida” corruption too, thanks to the Commiecrats and RINOs.
And yet, the WSJ greedheads still somehow think they can just stay in their gated communities and escape all this?

We are too busy purging our own. Remember how Mark Foley was kicked to the curb, for things he never actually did?
Europeans are far more blood and soil than credal, like we are.
Which may be why the newly injected term “Homeland” still grates on some American ears.
Ernst, you are correct that the Germans view the Turks as Turks and not Germans. That’s the problem with “guestworkers.” Unless they go home, you wind up having an insular community in your midst without the same values and loyalties as the remainder of the populace. And in Europe, the whole tribal thing, as mentioned above is absolutely correct. “French-ness” is purely tribal. That’s why I have no objection to immigration for those who sign on to our creed. I object to those immigrants who simply wish to import their own tribalism but reap all the other benefits of being here.

I feel the same way about people who flee California…
I think that this type of tribalism is the norm worldwide with only a few exceptions like the US. One of the goals of the progressive-socialists is to remake the US along world-norm lines, tribalism being one of them.
But in fairness, aren’t the Cali refugees overwhelmingly Right, save for a few issues like abortion and whatnot?
My understanding, having been born and raised here, is that California has always had a Commiecrat Left (Soviet Consulate organized unions in San Francisco, Soviet infiltration of Hollywood, utopian fools in Berkeley, teh gheys), but in the past, they were outweighed by Rightist elements (defense and aerospace workers, computer hardware workers, military personnel).
But then the Cold War ended, aerospace shrank, the military personnel left everywhere save San Diego, and computer hardware manufacture went elsewhere.
This refugee was never a leftie thankyouverymuch.
But in fairness, aren’t the Cali refugees overwhelmingly Right . . . ?
If we were to inquire of older native Oregonians what they have seen occur over the years, would this be the story they would tell? Has Oregon moved toward conservatism as a result of the migration of Californians, or away from it? And other neighboring states? Cases, of course, are individual, and therefore presumably variable. Still, the question of the appearance of the bulk sum of cases can reasonably be asked without having to take all Californians for leftists.
Even before the California exodus northward, Portland and Eugene were hopelessly Left. Two small atomic bombs would reverse that–Kim of North Korea, are you listening? (I keed, I keed…)
Oregon has always been an odd duck, with a high state income tax, but no sales tax, which leads Californians from Redding north to make drives to Medford to shop.
Then again, those “social issues” are always in play. CA went no-fault divorce and abortion-on-demand some years before the rest of the nation, with the acquiescence of Republicans like Reagan, no less.
This tribal-vs.-credal thing has caused me to take a second look at my voluntary affiliations. My NRA membership and my choice of a notAARP organization are certainly credal. My Scottish clan organization membership is definitely tribal.
My membership in Sons of the American Revolution is some of both, as may also be my continued procrastination of joining Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; not a whole lot of fun SUVCW activities here in metro Atlanta….
