Updated: ‘Nothing Is Going To Happen To Me, Man’

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Ethics, IMMIGRATION, Law, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Morality

Those were the immortal words of an inebriated illegal alien who rear ended an ass, State Rep. Mike Moran of Brighton (Boston), in what is described as a “serious car crash.”

Welcome to our world.

It’s a shame illegal aliens and terrorists invariably impact ordinary Americans only and not their political overlords. The ability of the political class to segregate itself and its progeny from the vagaries of every-day-life has a lot to do with the Us Vs. Them policies under which their subjects labor.

The illegal aliens’ response is a perfectly logical one. All natural-born predators respond in this way to the left-liberal, progressive worldview that perverts and pervades the society around them (from its laws to its child rearing practices).

“Comprehensive immigration reform” type “solutions” to trespass and other domestic terrorism practiced by non-honkies are nothing but euphemisms for no legal enforcement, no consequences such as deportation, and little inconvenience.

The end result of such positive reinforcement of bad behavior is, invariably, an ugly, corrupt country, one in which, by legal decree, the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

Progressive policies lead to a regressive society.

UPDATE (May 24): “Jury hands down 1st conviction in Newark illegal alien gang massacre,” writes Michelle Malkin, who’s always top-notch on the invasion issue.

Read Ms. Malkin’s entire report of this crime, one among a critical mass of murders committed by illegals. The details read like crimes in South Africa, down to the machete action to severe and disfigure.

Here’s the tale of a rapist, whose repeat record of crimes against Americans entitled him to a Catch-and-Release visa granted by the Traitor Class.

And a “Serial drunk driver. Countless trips through the revolving door. Immigration status ignored. Now, a four-year-old girl dead. Her mother and brother hospitalized.”

The salient point in these many reports is the progressive laws that prohibit law enforcement from ascertaining whether the individual is in the country illegally.

Arizona’s law allows questioning about an individual’s immigration status only pursuant to a brush with the law. It’s a little late after a little cherub such as this one is dispatched to the next world by the detritus of humanity.

YOU TOO CHANDRA LEVY? What do you know? While the mindless media steered the investigation into the disappearance of CL in the direction of some hapless, middle-class man, the second most famous intern in the US might have been murdered by an import, a habitual rapist—and a recipient of the catch-and-release visa. Just the sort of individual who was the object of the late Levy’s pity and Democratic activism.

Mighty Malkin is similarly relentless in tracking rancher Robert Krentz’s murder (mention his dog, if you want Chris Matthews or Maddow to take an interest).

ICE is supposed to deport, or at least process, illegals aliens apprehended by Arizona law enforcement—OR, MAYBE NOT.

A top Obama official, John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement government, told the Chicago Tribune that the Arizona immigration-enforcement law, SB 1070, is not “good government.”

The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano backed the bastard up: “ICE,” she said, “is not obligated to process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel … It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport persons delivered to it by any government agents, even its own.”

FoxNews’ Megyn Kelly called this government by fiat.

This is how it rolls in the US. I’ve long contended that commentators who constantly hail America’s unique freedoms are willfully misleading their followers. States’ rights? Those died a long time ago.

The federal government no longer fulfills its most basic negative duty, and that is to protect its citizens. But this is not new.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Hot Air tracks the issue too.

Update (May 23): Ann Coulter is at her best when she gets legal. She dredges up the “UNITED STATES v. BRIGNONI-PONCE” (1975), in which the SCOTUS unanimously, including every liberal on the Court, decided that “border police could take into account the Mexican appearance of a car’s occupants. They could not do random stops based on nothing but that ‘appearance.'” The Arizona law does not go as far as the SCOTUS’ ruling.

Another interesting point made by AC: “Iconic labor leader, and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez, along with Ralph Abernathy, successor to Martin Luther King, marched against illegal immigration.”

Updated: Diversity À La Democrats

Affirmative Action, Barack Obama, Democrats, Law, Media, Race, The Courts

Doesn’t Pat Buchanan know that diversity is code for displacing da white man? Bush tried hard to appoint a woman simpleton to the SCOTUS, but the Party kicked him so hard for Harriet Miers, whose mind was even more pedestrian than SotoSoAndSo, that he withdrew her nomination and gave us the non-diverse Alito and Roberts.

Still, some interesting points from Pat:

“What kind of diversity is this – either in geography or life experience?

While Sotomayor went to Yale Law School, the other three liberals went to Harvard, though Ruth Bader Ginsburg graduated from Columbia. Seems a fairly narrow range for a party that once claimed to be America’s party.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg tied for first in her class at Columbia, but neither Obama nominee is academically distinguished. Sotomayor called herself an ‘affirmative action baby’ who, at Princeton, was urged to read children’s books in the summer to improve her reading and writing skills. Kagan never served as a judge, never litigated a case before being named solicitor general, never wrote a book or anything else anyone has turned up that manifests real legal scholarship.

From her Princeton thesis on the sad demise of 20th-century socialism, to her tears at the defeat of the radical liberal Senate candidate Elizabeth Holtzman in 1980, to her hostility to the U.S. military on the Harvard campus while dean of the law school, Kagan has revealed herself to be one more Ivy League leftist anxious to use a lifetime seat on the court, winning the plaudits of her peers by imposing her ideology on a nation that has never voted for it.

Conservatives will not soon get another opportunity like this to take down Ivy League pretensions to represent and rule America.”

Back at the farm, liberals really do worship their magic mulatto. The mind boggles at this utterance from MSNBC’s LAWRENCE O‘DONNELL, sitting in for odious Ed of “THE ED SHOW”:

“… we don‘t know a lot about Kagan, but we do know a lot about the man who appointed her. Barack Obama is the wisest and most learned legal scholar ever to occupy the White House. That‘s who Kagan would have had to fool if she really were some sort of stealth conservative.”

Update (May 15): Remember: BHO, author of bestsellers, and not one law journal article (no that that means a thing) is being hailed as greater than Thomas Jefferson, lawyer (as far as I know), legal and political philosopher, author of the Declaration of Independence and generally a genius.

This is sick stuff (but then so is it sick to credit Palin with doing battle for Jeffersonian liberties).

‘Strategic Defaulters’

Defaulters or deadbeats? As I’ve explained, “You don’t have a property title in the perceived value of your property. Nobody does.” You do, however, have an obligation to honor a contract. These borrowers think otherwise and are proud of themselves for being thieves.

NPR’s Paul Solman tells the story of some homeowners who have stopped paying their mortgages even though they can still afford them: “‘Strategic Defaulters’ Skip Mortgage Payments as Home Values Tumble.”
