printIt was an abomination when Mexican President Felipe Calderon was allowed to address the Congress in May of 2010, and it is an abomination for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have been permitted to issue forth before a joint session of the American Congress. Calderon, you recall, was toiling tirelessly for the benefit of millions of Mexicans living in the US illegally. From the White House Rose Garden, and then again in an address to Congress, he chastised overrun Arizonans for “forcing our people to face discrimination.”
Netanyahu is not as bad as all that. And both these respective foreign leaders are patriots, looking out for their countrymen.
The American people’s representatives are the traitors here, for it is they who’ve permitted this reoccurring spectacle; it is they who’ve turned the American People’s House into a one-way exchange program for foreign dignitaries.
Whose House is it, anyway?

Bibi vs. "Osissy"
My Facebook comment in response to the predictable:
“Please quit the tinny robotic, liberal, moral equivalence about the mettle of men: Bibi vs. Obama; Bibi vs. socialist (alleged) rapist. The libertarian non-aggression axiom does not have to turn one into a sissy detached from reality. Or make one a moral relativist. The above image, via a facebook friend, says it all.”
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
Doesn’t make me wonder at all. Congress hasn’t worked for us for some time, if ever.
It seems to me that the House is for sale.
Watched his speech before the American Congress. Two ironies: he got a better reception in Congress than he would addressing the Knesset and he got a better reception than Obama (or a Republican) would from Congress.
Speech was generally some platitudes with predictive applause lines. Still it contained nonsense about wanting to negotiate with a Palestinian “democracy” but never to negotiate with Hamas (well, duhhhhh – who elected Hamas – the Eskimos??) …
In fact, since most Palestinians WANT YOU DEAD (and hate you far more than they love themselves!), there is little or nothing to ever be negotiated …
But the imperative question is “Whose fault is it?” I think your choice of words is a little excessive, Ilana. Abomination? Really?
Whatever happened to avoiding ENTANGLING ALLIANCES? 1. Re ISRAEL & PALESTINIANS:

2. Re MEXICO/MEXICANS: Research LA RAZA, RECONQUISTA, and AZTLAN. 3. If anyone has been watching INSPECTOR AMERICA on the HISTORY CHANNEL, you will see we, AMERICA, have more pressing problems in our backyard than Mexico, Israel & “Palestinians”, Libya, Egypt, etc. IT IS TIME TO ADMIT TO OUR SITUATION AND IMPROVE IT. Other countries have benefited from our largess for decades and it is now time for us to attend to our internal problems and needs. I am sorry but we cannot help anyone if we bleed-out more than we have bled already. Place the sign on Congressional doors: CLOSED TO FOREIGNERS – OPEN TO DOMESTIC BUSINESS ONLY!
Please add this: http://www.laissez-fairerepublic.com/TenPlanks.html
Have we implemented all of these Planks into our Republic or just trashed the Republic’s Constitution and are now operating under a different set of rules?
So, why do we even give a damn what happens elsewhere when we have been sold into slavery here by our Congress?????
Excuse me…I’m going out for a Bloody Mary – double-shot, extra hot!
The number of Mexicans living in the United States is: Zero.
A federal power to regulate immigration was debated and rejected when the Constitution was written.
No such power exists, nor can it exist short of constitutional amendment. And, as Mr. Marshall said, “a law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”
Correction: I meant to write “the number of Mexicans living illegally in the United States is zero.” There being no constitutional law to prevent them from living here, they are by definition not doing so illegally.
Dennis – I think it is somewhat irrelevant if there was no earlier basis of Palestinian identity since it has since “emerged” as an identity. Many ancestors of current Israelis thought of themselves as Germans or South Africans or Argentines 80 or 150 years ago or just thought of themselves as Jews living in Baghdad who said “Next Year in Jerusalem” without much thought to there being a Government of Israel … – so perceptions change with time.
As for Obama (or Bush or Clinton) – it appears that the further one is from ever having done combat, the more likely they are to send people to die without thinking it over…. Eisenhower, on the other hand, showed great restraint
