Mortgage Problem

Posted by On the Right on Friday, August 31, 2007 11:59:30 PM
Bush and Bernanke set the right tone.  Read it here.

We're pleased to see that both the White House and Fed are willing to take action to make sure the subprime lending crisis doesn't get worse. But we're also glad they understand they can't do everything.

That's why we were heartened to hear Bush add the following: "The government's got a role to play. But it is limited. A federal bailout of lenders would only encourage a recurrence of the problem."


And this, from Bernanke: "It is not the responsibility of the Federal Reserve — nor would it be appropriate — to protect lenders and investors from the consequences of their financial decisions."

We Might Be Able To Give Them A Choice

Posted by On the Right on Friday, August 31, 2007 6:39:10 PM
Whether you agree with the Iraq war or not, the theory is sound: If we can establish a pro-Western democracy in the Middle East, then perhaps we can give alternatives to the Muslim community other than radical extremism.

They Do Their Job

You only hear about the few generals who speak out against the war. Those guys get all the attention, but what about the vast majority of military men and women who support the effort?

Correct

In the so-called mortgage crisis a bailout would be a big mistake.

Look At The Left

Posted by On the Right on Friday, August 31, 2007 6:33:58 PM
The left has a fascination with totalitarianism. One of the first things tyrants do when they seize power is shut down the press: Cuba, Nicaragua, and now Venezuela, to name a few. Yet according to the liberals, there is only tyranny in America.

Very True

Liberals have two sets of rules: one set for them and another for everyone else, which they, of course, are exempt from.

Judges should stay out of public policy matters. They interpret laws. If the citizens of Iowa want gay marriage, they need to go to the legislature and pass a law.

These Women Need Help

Brave Infidels  Western feminists have assumed that Muslim women are not like them. It is Muslim women, however, who bear the consequences.

Just Leave Already

Posted by On the Right on Friday, August 31, 2007 2:10:46 PM
This is from opinionjournal.com about an attempt, in California [no surprise], to get around term limits,
just thought it was good.

Even if the Perata-Nunez plan makes it before the voters in February,
 the latest desperate maneuvering may finally cause the public to gag. "A
 lot of voters may ask themselves why these people just can't go into
 the private sector and find work," says Jon Fleischman, who broke the
 story of the signature meltdown on his political blog FlashReport.org. --

Networks Tilt Morning Shows Presidential Campaign Coverage To Democrats, No Surprise There

Posted by On the Right on Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:16:20 PM
The ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows are dramatically tilting their presidential campaign coverage in favor of the Democrats, a new MRC study has found. The TV morning shows have offered nearly twice as much coverage to the Democrats (55% of all campaign segments) as Republicans (29%), and doled out nearly three times more interview airtime to Democrats than Republicans. Network reporters used a mostly liberal agenda when questioning candidates from both parties, a distinct favor to the Democrats.   Read the full report.

Do It The Easy Way, They Sneak In Let Them Take Themselves Out

Posted by On the Right on Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:05:29 PM
If we enforce the laws we can get them to leave on their own.  Read it all.

Open-border advocates say there's no way to deport 12 million illegal aliens. Arizona shows that you don't have to. Simply start enforcing the law and most will leave on their own.

The law was signed July 2 by Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat whose state — with an estimated 500,000 illegal aliens — is the undisputed champion in unlawful border-crossings. It won't take effect until Jan. 1, 2008, but it already is having its desired effect, as large numbers of illegals leave.


The law made it a state crime to hire illegal aliens and requires all businesses to verify the employment eligibility of workers through a federal database. The penalty for violators is a 10-day suspension of their business license on the first offense and permanent revocation on the second.


"I would say that we are losing at least 100 people a day," Elias Bermudez, founder of Immigrants Without Borders and host of a radio talk show aimed at illegal aliens, told the Arizona Republic. That number is expected to balloon as Jan. 1 nears and the law shuts off the job magnet attracting illegal workers.



The Arizona Republic report notes that many illegals are simply packing up and going home to Mexico. Critics say they'll simply move to other states. But not if other states follow Arizona's lead.


Certainly the feds are doing their part with stepped-up enforcement of laws forbidding the hiring of illegals. Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff recently announced a policy of more vigorous enforcement. Fines against employers will be raised 25%, and the department will expand criminal investigations of employers who knowingly hire large numbers of illegal immigrants.


So, it can be done. At the federal or the state level, when immigration enforcement gets tough, illegal aliens get going.
