Bush speech

Oh my god, I wonder if the speech Bush is giving right now is going to be a prelude to the invasion of another “imminent threat” to the U.S.? Who appointed us as the world’s nuclear policeman anyway? Isn’t that a bit hypocritical when we ourselves have nukes?

I’m happy about the way the Democratic primaries are going. Kerry is looking stronger every day and it looks as though he might pose a considerable challenge to Bush in November. We can’t get rid of Bush fast enough to suit me.

Howard Dean: scary

Well, Howard Dean made a fool of himself Monday night… a really scary fool. He just confirmed the decision I’d made a few days before… that I didn’t want a loose cannon as my president. I began thinking seriously about Kerry after seeing a late-night CSPAN broadcast of him at a rally. He didn’t seem at all the haughty patrician that I’d imagined him to be, and I was quite taken with him.

Edwards, too, is looking very good to me now, though perhaps a bit green compared to Kerry. I get the feeling Edwards would be eaten alive in Washington by the old guard. Most of all, I just want the candidate with the best chance of beating Bush. Talk about loose cannons! He’s the really scary one!

Illegal aliens are… illegal!

If they are allowed to stay in the United States, under any condition, isn’t the citizenship of every legal U.S. citizen devalued by that much?

By definition, illegal aliens are… illegal. Why should they receive a single right or benefit of citizenship? Countless aliens have earned legal citizenship and the rights and benefits that entails. Those who can’t or won’t should either get out or be deported.
