Dear NRO:

If Jerry and Johnny are both thieves, it doesn't help Jerry's case to point out that Johnny is a thief.

.

On first reading I thought this might actually be a sensible article.

Then I saw that the author used Michelle Malkin as a reference.

So, *sigh*, fark NRO. -1

It's 2009 ... traditions can't be created so quickly.

So this is just an article calling someone dumb for no reason? Awesome.

Silly Americans, traditions are things with 100+ years of history. What you have are called "fads", which is what people fill their lives with when they don't have a real culture.

DamnYankees: So this is just an article calling someone dumb for no reason? Awesome.

Oh, there's a reason.

The NRO disagrees with something Obama did? The hell you say.

Janet, you ignorant slut.

Is this more wharrgarbl where NRO repeats its claim that there are no right-wing terrorist groups, only lefty ones? Because that meme is truly weapons-grade dumb.

Well shiat, sounds like she best be reading up her immigration law, don't it?

DamnYankees: So this is just an article calling someone dumb for no reason? Awesome.

Maybe they called him stupid because he said illegal workers crossing the border wasn't illegal... without understanding the whole reason that they're illegal is they crossed the border improperly.

he appointed Michelle Bachman?

The Dreaded Rear Admiral: The NRO disagrees with something Obama did? The hell you say.

Dude, I am so glad I was sitting down when I read your comment.

On another note: Can we please devolve DHS out of existence?

How about getting rid of the agency entirely. Back in my day, homeland security was handled by the State Department.

Sincerely,
Americans wanting smaller government

I work for DHS...and can say, at least in my division, this appointment and her recent statements are embarassing and a real kick in the nuts to morale.

That article was a total waste of time. It wasn't even reporting, just spoonfeeding idiocy to people who can't think for themselves.

Him, her, etc. That's just funny.

Who is the "him" and "he" in that sentence?

Dude... the DHS is in trouble is they hired you. Please tell me, for the sake of your country, that you just mop the floors or something like that.

The rich tradition that Obama is faithfully following is the federal government's rich tradition of deliberately and wilfully ignoring illegal immigration. It doesn't matter that it's a crime, it doesn't matter that one of the fundamental responsibilities of government is to maintain the territorial inntegrity of the nation, and especially it doesn't matter that healthy majorities of citizens favor enforcing immigration law. No, it's a venerable tradition for the federal government - and the two parties that own and operate it - to refuse to enforce immigration laws and to come up with increasingly absurd excuses for not enforcing immigration laws.

It's like the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardoning skit now.

Janet Napolitano isn't stupid, just obedient.

tchamber: On first reading I thought this might actually be a sensible article.

The meat of TFA is straight from CNN. So what if Malkin found it and it's on NRO? Go read again. It is sensible, Napolitano is an idiot like her Bushenpredecessors for not knowing a simple matter of law, and DHS should be at the very least sharply scaled back because for the money we're spending it's doing fark-all to make us safer.

Obama shoulda just said "Heck of a job giving the fundies the teleprompter joke, Moran, how about you head up DHS?"

//At least Moran would be honestly advertising the position.

Awww..you're cute. School off today?

the NRO is continuing the fine tradition of appointing idiots to write opinion pieces.

They're going to go after Walmart? Wow, the Right Wing may actually do something useful yet!

You are a janitor then? Thank the FSM for that. I was worried you were an analyst or something.

3_Butt_Cheeks: Awww..you're cute. School off today?

great...the DHS doesn't even know it's April Vacation. I'm brimming with confidence that nothing will slip through the cracks

Is this the same brilliant mind? (new window)

Dwight_Yeast: They're going to go after Walmart? Wow, the Right Wing may actually do something useful yet!

If the US gov't went up against WalMart, you wouldn't even find enough of the US left to bury when it was over.

They actually give me a weapon. You should be cowering in mommies basement.

Not to open up a can of crazy, but has anyone considered that the immigration issue is far more complex than you imagine?

I mean, possibly that our antiquated and over-bearing immigration system makes it INTENTIONALLY a whorebiatch to legally immigrate? Also, and this might be really zany, possibly our xenophobic fear that "immigrants" are going to "take our jobs" has prevented us from making real, useful changes for decades?

3_Butt_Cheeks: They actually give me a weapon. You should be cowering in mommies basement.

Is the DHS comfortable with you posting threats on the internets while claiming to be one of their representatives?

/What is it you actually do, anyhow?

Many of your government agencies are already too small to efficiently to do what they are supposed to. How will shrinking them further, benefit anyone?

oldass31: FTFA: we have to...target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor

No. The business owners will just shout, "We're the victims, too! We didn't know they had false SSNs." So, all the illegals get rounded up, sent to Mexico or wherever, when their children come home from school, they never know where mommy and daddy went, and the businesses will dry up because there's no one to work the machines, pick the cotton. But at least they didn't get fined for hiring illegals. So, the economy will be just fine, right?

3_Butt_Cheeks: I work for DHS...

oh man, WE ARE F*CKED! now I have to go out to get some plastic sheeting and duct tape.

Oh ya sure. All the time. But it's more fun to push that thought aside and get really, really angry.

No name, no mention of which division, no job description. Yea, pretty sure we're "ok" with this.

Hey OP, I recognize that you guys had to put up with 6 years of the left trashing Bush. Which we did because he was such an unmitigated failure.

And I also recognize that because of it, you are now desperate, desperate, to be able to do the same to Obama. And you will take anything you can, whether it's the teleprompter thing, or the Chavez thing, or any other non-issue like this to say "See?! The president doesn't have our interests at heart! He's uneducated! He's arrogant!"

We said all these things about Bush because it was demonstrably true. You guys are trying to pin it on Obama because you want to dish it out as bad as you had to take it.

No, there is a difference between our dissent and yours.

When Bush did something awful to our country, we said "I hope I'm wrong and this succeeds." Any time Obama moves, you say "I HOPE HE FAILS!"

We gave Bush months of goodwill before we turned. You didn't give him jack.

But please, keep it up! Because no one's buying it anymore, and you can continue your slide into irrelevance.

These next eight years are going to be painful for you guys.

Are you at work right now? WTF what a waste, job security experts like yourself are going to be hard to get rid of.

3_Butt_Cheeks: They actually give me a weapon. You should be cowering in mommies basement.

A mop is not a weapon, while Stanley Spadowski may disagree with me.

I am sure you serve honorably, and my comments about wanting to devolve DHS are not a slam against the constituent agencies or the people employed by them; merely just stating the opinion that I believe DHS too big a department to do the job effectively or efficiently. Many headed hydra, unmanageable, and all that jazz.

LasersHurt: "I mean, possibly that our antiquated and over-bearing immigration system makes it INTENTIONALLY a whorebiatch to legally immigrate?"

And why should it be easy? Why does America need millions of immigrants? What's with this obsession to pack the country full of hundreds of millions of people? Why should it be easy to immigrate?
