It's reached the point whereby asking law enforcement to remove criminals from our streets is considered an extreme.
So sayeth John Podhoretz...
"As for dealing with the illegals already here, there's a sense in which this debate has been radicalized to such an extent that the Right won't be satisfied with a policy that does not explicitly advocate expulsion — all other policies being dubbed "amnesty" and therefore illegitimate — while the Left refuses to consider any policy other than special-treatment affirmative-action line-jumping legalization. In other words, there is nothing our politicians can do, absolutely nothing, to satisfy the activists — because neither extreme will be reflected in any kind of law or policy that emerges even from a Washington energized to deal with them."
J-Pod is a mainstream essayist who revels in maintaining a certain degree of fairness, for to do otherwise risks the loss of membership in the intelligentsia wing of the party. Calling for their heads...ALL of their heads... on a pike, is a job for bloggers. The new founding fathers. The old founding fathers had their share of, "Gee willickers, guys, come on now; King George is gonna get really really mad...", and the new ones, like the dudes I like to visit, have the likes of John Podhoretz.
The more things change...
