America's odyssey nearly full circle

Well send up the rockets, order the cake and Champaign, today marks the fifth anniversary of Lex’s blog. Yes it was a mere five years ago today that Lex tapped out his first cyber note. I don’t recall exactly what the subject was, hypocrisy by some liberal being anti gun while surrounding himself with armed body guards, or singing the praise of the public schools while enrolling his own kids in a private one, or complaining about fossil fuel use while jetting about his gas guzzling G5 aircraft would be a good bet.

Fortunately, my longevity will allow me to escape John McCain’s latest assault on the first amendment outlawing any blog that describes him as…hmm what’s a good hyphenated word…self-aggrandizing works as well as any. Yes any blog that has been publishing for at least five years will be exempt from the anti free speech McCain’s latest effort to shut us all up.

As for the rest? Well too bad. They will be rounded up, placed into a NSA file on a Cray Computer somewhere. John McCain will show up at the undisclosed location, highlight the file and hit the delete button sending an estimated 6 million blogs into the ether never to be heard from again.

Ahhh, but Lex you started before the 2004 election, so you’ve not been publishing for five years. Yeah, well prove it! And that is the idiocy only a politician like Chuck Hagel could come up with. We don’t have the will or resources to round up even three employers who exploit illegal aliens (Justice filed only two complaints against employers last year) but some how we’re going to round up 6 million illegal aliens. Then, using an Ouija board, I suppose we’ll determine if they have been in the country more than five years.

Given the craven performance of politicians on this issue to date, Republicans looking for cheap labor, Democrats looking for illegal votes, anyone want to guess how they will react to any new law? They will do exactly what craven politicians do – pander and posture. In ten years there will another 125 million illegal aliens in the country and the Hispanic lobby that controls congress will propose a get tough immigration bill that requires all Americans of European decent not here for at least 200 years to return to their country of origin and apply for a new visa. Armed Mexican security patrols (doing the work Americans won't do) will go door to door and round up millions of violators, pack them into converted oil tankers and send them to Europe. There, European governments, long ago transformed into Muslim theocracies, will allow the illegal aliens one chance to convert to Islam before chopping off their heads. And America’s odyssey will have gone full circle.
