Stupidity on the March!

Despite my normally low opinion of the folks who represent us in Washington, D.C., they have astounded me.

We should all be painfully aware that Social Security is a bankrupt system that continues to operate more from inertia than any other reason. OK, technically it's not bankrupt yet, but really, how many trillions of unfunded liabilities must we be able to show before we acknowledge the truth?

Well, now our good senators have decided that we must accrue benefits in favor of those here illegally, working illegally, and that when they reach the qualifying age, they, too, can be a drain on that system!

Call me crazy, but the Congress-critters seem hell-bent on nothing less than the complete destruction of this country.

I can understand this level of idiocy from the Democrats, but what has brought the nominal Republicans to this pass?

Last night on Brit Hume's show, Charles Krauthammer nailed it. He pointed out that the President's proposed immigration reform is indeed an amnesty, in that it proposes to pardon the crimes of those who have been here illegally, and working illegally. In fact, it doesn't even acknowledge that there have been any crimes.

The liberals have based a good deal of their current heart-bleed on the fact that being here illegally is only a misdemeanor. OK, fair enough. But obtaining false documents is not a misdemeanor, but a felony. So anyone working illegaly is indeed a felon, convicted or not.

Write to your representatives and senators, if they still remember what their constituents are. Let them know, in no uncertain terms, that this madness cannot continue, and that not only will they not get your vote, but you will lobby all your friends against voting for them, as well.
