This is not--repeat NOT--from John Fund, but I have been watching the 'underground' media and blogs lately as well as listening to lots of talking heads on TV and disembodied voices on the radio. And there is an undercurrent that may be pure fabrication, but. . . .
That theory is that the first order of Congress when they return from summer recess will be immigration reform which will include general amnesty WITH a fast track to citizenship. With 10 to 12 million new loyal grateful voters at their disposal, plus they expect the entire Hispanic community to reward them, they could not only keep control of Congress in 2010 but solidify their power in 2012 and retain control long enough to finish dismantling America as we have known it.
I have consistently resisted this as foolish and fictitious internet banter. But when you look at the agenda for the next six months, it is beginning to feel more and more plausible.
That's highly improbable and more than likely not even possible. It sounds more like a conspiracy theory to me.
Yeah it has sounded like a conspiracy theory to me too. And I hope beyond hope that you, Charles, me, and everybody who assumes that are right.
But again, I would never in a gazillion years have expected a President and Congress to push through that healthcare bill in the manner that they did it with no bipartisan support and a large majority of Americans opposing it.
But that has been the way it has been going since the bailout in 2008. Most Americans opposed that too. And TARP. And the takeover of the financial institutions and the auto industry. And that pork laden appropriations bill earlier this year.
They don't care what we think any more. They've gotten away with it all.
And that is beginning to make the most implausible things they might do look a lot more plausible.
This is going to be a long six months.
