‘Undocumented Youth’ Tell Reporters Harry Reid ‘Is One of Our Biggest Supporters’

Because of the political ambitions of Democrats, America  will soon be unrecognizable as we have known it. Read also the in-depth comment by Brittanicus that follows this post.
CNS News  "The agents claim that President Barack Obama’s directive to allow certain illegal aliens to stay in the country forces them to violate federal law.
"Rafael Lopez, who said he was brought to the U.S. illegally as a child, praised Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for his support of the Dream Act, legislation that has repeatedly failed to get congressional support that would grant amnesty to Lopez and approximately 1.7 million other illegal aliens.
" “Senator Reid, our Senate Majority Leader is one of our biggest supporters for dreamers,” Lopez said.
" “He won in 2010 because of the Latino vote,” Lopez said."
Michelle Malkin; The Reckless Folly of the ‘Undocumented Immigrant’
"Time and again, security experts have warned about how jihadists have exploited lax immigration and ID enforcement. Driver's licenses are gateways into the American mainstream. They allow residents to establish an identity and gain a foothold into their communities. They help you open bank accounts, enter secure facilities, board planes, and do things like drive tractor-trailers carrying hazardous materials."
WND; MEXICANS: SOUTHWEST U.S. IS OURS   " “While most Americans want immigration reduced, most Mexicans think they don’t even need permission to enter our country,” he said. “The poll clearly shows there is less common ground for immigration negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. than the leaders think." This was from 2002; what do you think the poll would say now?

When will conservatives push back against the media? (Updated)

Crowley
Michelle Malkin; Even some in the old media are fed up, so when will the GOP push back?

"Last week, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the names of 2012’s chosen referees: CNN’s Candy Crowley, PBS’s Jim Lehrer, and CBS’s Bob Schieffer will preside over the three presidential debates; ABC’s Martha Raddatz will host the sole vice-presidential debate. The debate panel trumpeted the gender diversity of its picks, but the chromosomal diversity is far outweighed by the political uniformity, class conformity, and geographical homogeneity of the group."...:.If the 2012 GOP presidential ticket won’t push back, then who will? If not now, then when?"
American Thinker; Another round of liberal debate moderators  "So, once again, we can look forward to softball questions lobbed toward President Obama, and "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" -like questions fired at Governor Romney."  
Here is one such debate question that Brian Williams asked Gov Rick Perry:

Godfather PoliticsDump the Liberal Debate Moderators  "The GOP needs to stand against the liberal media that it knows is a Fifth Column for this administration. The three networks are no longer viable or reliable news sources. They are irrelevant.
"Here’s(sic) some moderators that come to mind:"...

Want to know who chooses these debate "moderators"? This will tell you: Bring on the Gingrich Debating Offense: 10 Democrats 3 Republicans Choose Debate Moderators
"Question to Reince Priebus and Mitt Romney: How in the name of all decency, have you allowed this to happen? We’ve seen it in the past and it isn’t pretty. Are you lacking the drive to clean up how we elect our country’s leaders, or do you just think you are so good you can overcome this ambush?
"Do you expect We The People to fix the problem? We are powerless, but at this very late date, give us a suggestion and we’ll try to do your job for you. In the meantime, start talking about it. Put Paul Ryan on it. Those who select the moderators are 10 Democrats to 3 Republicans. Get to a microphone and tell “The People” what to expect."  Via  Maggie's Notebook

Will there be hostile questions to Romney and soft-ball queries to Obama?  Will the array of questions be designed to make Romney look bad and Obama look good?  You can bet on it.

Think Football Would Be Left Alone by the Radical Left? Not For Long.

Conservative Daily News  "The American Spectator recently pointed out that football has become “the new smoking.” If only the scourge of leftism were that toxic.

"No, it’s much, much worse than that. Football represents a complete affront to the entire project of radicalism, which decades ago spread to our universities, schools, entertainment, and legal professions.
"The last remaining conservative bastions — the military and professional sports — are presently under assault by leftists who cannot stand to leave these exemplars of patriotism and capitalist competition alone. So football fans better keep their heads on a swivel."
...."The NFL, without any affirmative action policy and simply through the standard of open competition, confirms an argument that conservatives have been making for years: That a true market is colorblind. In the NFL, the rule is simple: Either you are a great football player or you are a fan."
The Left Politicizes Everything -- Including Football   "I watch a lot of football and I can't tell you the last time I saw a male reporter doing an on-field interview.  They're always females doing on-field interviews.  And then, you know, I played football with my class, high school football boys, and I got injured in January.  I'm 44 years old, and I got injured, and I'm still struggling through the injury.  It was a right hand injury.  And everybody is like, "What are you doing?"  Well, I like the game, I love the game, and I'm really upset with players who I have met personally some of them at training camps who are coming out saying things that are gonna hurt the game.  I knew the risk when I went in and played in January, and I'd do it again because I love football.  And so I mean I'm all around upset about what's going on with the NFL right now.  All around upset."   I just sneaked (snuck?) a Rush Limbaugh piece by you with this.

Oh, if this conversation could only take place

But, as has been oft-stated in the Tunnel Wall, leftists are not capable of being taught from logic. As Rush says, liberals only act from feelings and nothing more substantial. Ergo, after Reagan left the room, everything he said would have been forgotten.
