Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

They are frequently entertaining aren't they? I read that and couldn't keep this scene out of my head:
Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!
Texas legislature is debating a bill to ban sanctuary cities. Lots of protesters on the Capitol grounds, some with signs calling themselves out as illegal aliens.
Republican on the floor of the chamber: I am going to call ICE to round up these illegals.
Democrat responds: I will get you on your way to your car.
Republican responds: And I will shoot you.
Tussle ensues......

That's OK. Bullet points are probably more their style - especially in what promises to eventually be described by all parties and observers as a "complicated" situation.

Mostly correct except that the bill passed a whole ago and has already been signed into law by the governor. The protesters are there because the purple Texas people see the law as a ralying cry and today was the last day of the regular session.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Dueling should be made legal again. People would be more willing to think before they speak.

It's amazing how Democrats have managed to turn things upside down. When we are talking about immigration now, we are almost never talking about actual immigration. Immigration is a lawful, orderly process, by which those from other countries manage to achieve citizenship in the United States.
But what we are talking about now-- and calling it "immigration"-- is the incursion of aliens into America. We don't know who they are, we don't know anything about them, but not only are we supposed to just let them keep coming-- we are bigots if we demand that they follow the law!
It's amazing, really.
It's as if they have a right to violate the law. We are stigmatized for objecting.

Up is down. Wrong is right.

Isaiah 5
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
