Ann Coulter: Romney doing the job Republican establishment just won't do

Ann Coulter "If you're not sure how you feel about illegal immigration, ask yourself this: "Do I have a nanny, a maid, a pool boy, a chauffeur, a cook or a business requiring lots of cheap labor that the rest of America will have to subsidize with social services to make up for the wages I'm paying?" Press "1" to answer in English. 
"If the answer is "no," illegal immigration is a bad deal for you. Cheap labor is cheap only for the employer. 
"Today, 70 percent of illegal immigrant households collect government benefits -- as do 57 percent of all immigrant households -- compared to 39 percent of native households.
....
"You can either pay a little more for tomatoes picked by Americans or you can pay a lot more in welfare to the illegal immigrants who will pick them as well as to generations of their descendants." 
 ....
"Among the propositions supported by Hispanics in larger numbers than they typically vote Republican was one making English the official language of Arizona (49 percent). As governor of Massachusetts, Romney pushed English-immersion programs. That's my kind of Hispandering! 
"These are our Latinos -- the ones, as Romney said, who came here for opportunity and freedom. Any race-mongering, welfare-collecting, ethnic-identity rabble-rousers are voting for the Democrat."

KAREN HUGHES: Why Mitt Romney will be a good president

"I’m convinced that Mitt Romney is not only the best Republican but also the best general election candidate to serve as president for four key reasons.

"First, he has extensive experience making executive decisions. As governor of Massachusetts and in the private sector, Romney had to make tough choices affecting people’s jobs, lives and futures, preparing him for the world’s highest executive office. Obama is a legislator and it shows. Too often he sublets decision making to Congress, with the bad results we saw in the pork-infused trillion-dollar stimulus, the massive mess of the health care law and the regulatory morass of the Dodd-Frank financial reforms."....Hat tip to Solid Principles Blog

It is too late to question Romney's qualifications and if he is a true conservative or not. He is our only hope to get the present liberal demagogue out of the White House and onto the sidelines where he will be just one more Maxine Waters or Bernie Sanders barking at conservatives.

As with Waters and Sanders, Obama will continue to be a demagogue and a thorn in free enterprise America's side, especially on college campi and in union rallies where he finds useful idiots. We hope he at least will be where he cannot so easily become a millstone around all our necks.

But rest assured, like the Clintons, he will never stop coming back, just like the cat in this video: TD

Victor Davis Hanson: When Administrations Implode

Victor Davis Hanson  "The Obama administration over the last month has seemed on the verge of one of these presidential meltdowns."
....

"The effect of all these unnecessary missteps was to make the Obama administration appear inept — at precisely the time Republicans were unifying around Romney and ending their long, suicidal primary fights. Some polls even showed Romney suddenly ahead in the presidential race.

"So why is the president rashly picking these stupid fights?"

Sen. Marco Rubio's address on U.S. foreign policy

Human Events   "Finally, the nations in the region see Syria as a test of our continued willingness to lead in the Middle East. If we prove unwilling to provide leadership, they will conclude that we are no longer a reliable security partner, and will decide to take matters into their own hands. And that means a regional arms race, the constant threat of armed conflict, and crippling fuel prices here at home due to instability. The most powerful and influential nation in the world cannot ask smaller, more vulnerable nations to take risks while we stand on the sidelines. We have to lead because the rewards for effective leadership are so great."

Picking a Veep in a Post-Palin World  Romney may seek competence over flair. "The times have changed. Many senior Republican politicos, including some who were burned by the Palin backlash, are now urging Mitt Romney to consider inside-the-Beltway experience as a plus rather than a minus as he mulls his veep pick. Mild-mannered federal lawmakers with long résumés are in; fiery rising stars are out.

“Who you pick reflects on you, the nominee,” says Sara Fagen, a former White House political director for President George W. Bush. “People will often care more about the judgment of the nominee than the actual pick. The perception was that Sarah Palin wasn’t able to be president. Whether that is fair or unfair, that was the perception. Mitt Romney faces a higher level of scrutiny than previous nominees.” "

Economic Self-Deportation: Mexicans Leaving the U.S., No Longer Just Because of La Migra

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Feet in 2 Worlds  "Mexico is bracing for the consequences of the U.S. economic crisis. Among these is an increase in Mexican immigrants going back to their home country — chased away by the lack of jobs north of the U.S.-Mexico border, the general economic downturn, as well as tougher enforcement of immigration laws.

"Antonio García Conejo, an official from the Mexican state of Michoacán, is one of those pointing to a dramatic increase in Mexicans leaving the U.S. and returning home."

Holocaust Remembrance Day in the era of Obama (Updated 4/26)

Wiesel Warns Obama of Evil; Obama Announces Atrocities Prevention Board; "Armed with new bureaucracy, fact sheets, and sanctions, the president gave part stump speech, part remembrance at somber Holocaust memorial event."

Today wasn’t the first time that Wiesel, 83, has called out a president during a joint appearance at the Holocaust memorial. In 1993, he told President Clinton that “we must do something to stop the bloodshed” in Bosnia.Today, Wiesel reminded Obama about the dangers of evil unchallenged.“It could have been prevented,” Wiesel said. “The greatest tragedy in history could have been prevented had the civilized world spoken up, taken measures in 1939, ‘40, ‘41, ‘42. Each time, in Berlin, Goebbels and the others always wanted to see what would be the reaction in Washington and London and Rome, and there was no reaction so they felt they could continue.”

Want to hear what a Ron Paul supporter thinks of this? Here: Obama Promotes Genocide at Holocaust Museum

"I would like to send you a message, President Obama.  Please stop using the term “we” when announcing your plans for further genocidal slaughter in the Middle East.  You see, when you use the term “we”, you are implicating me and a majority of Americans, who oppose the Israeli Zionist conquest of the Middle East for the capture of its wealth. "We want Ron Paul as our president.  We want the dual citizen Israeli Americans removed from our government.  We want our Republic back so that we can reestablish our country as the peace loving nation it was meant to be."God help us to stop the Zionists from slaughtering any more innocents in this world."

Commenter "Jack" posted this comment in the above site and to this date has received no rebuttal:

The ‘Holohoax Industry’, that little piece of ‘history’ that needs laws to protect it from scrutiny. I bet the old jug eared illegal alien earned some brownie points from his Jewish handlers for paying homage to the paper mache props and other nonsense this dump contains.  

"Holohoax" Get that? We can fully expect a Ron Paul endorsement from the Iranians any day now.

Obama Cartoons from Israel

UPDATE. James Carafano: Our MIA president  "And war inches nearer when the leader of the free world opts not to lead. Even if a preoccupied U.S. electorate doesn’t notice, the rest of the world does. They notice when Syrian protesters rise against their terrorist-supporting dictator … and the U.S. does nothing. When Iran thumbs its nose at U.N. sanctions, accelerates its nuclear program and threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz … and the U.S. does nothing. When North Korea reneges on its food-for-peace deal and launches a long-range missile … and the U.S. does nothing.

"America’s adversaries seem to be running wild. And rolling eggs, watching basketball and hitting the links won’t make it go away. Nature abhors a vacuum. And when American leadership is MIA, far uglier and more sinister forces are only too eager to fill the void."

Oh, by the way... Obama sidesteps recognition of Armenian genocide as president — again    However, "I doubt Romney will be any different: Turkey is crucially important right now as an ally with respect to Syria and as a potentially moderating influence on the new Islamist regimes in the Middle East. If you alienate them, you’re weakening your hand in the region at a moment when things are even nuttier and less stable than usual. Orwellian semantics goes a long way in this case. Awful, but there it is."
