Mark America

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to end this circus.  Barack, Harry, and John have sent in the “Gang-of-Eight Clowns,” and when you pushed back, they came across with this tepid, phony amendment that two more Senators carried through the door, even though, as Mark Levin reported on Thursday evening, it had been drafted with the approval and oversight of the “Gang-of-Eight.” Let us not extenuate the matter by pretending any of these charlatans had made their best effort, and let us not pretend that the bill was ever intended to give us the border security we deserve.  No, this entire thousand-page bill is another maneuver aimed at looting the American tax-payer because it’s a whole lot easier than old-fashioned methods of theft.  With the help of broadcast and print media, they are working together with social media giants and search engine giants to tamp down, hide, and otherwise befuddle any dissent, in order for its numerous opponents to become discouraged and give up in bewilderment. They’re letting their voice-mail remain full, and they’re leaving their in-boxes remain stuffed because they wish to give you the impression that they’re not really getting any sort of push-back, because the last thing they want is the building of momentum against this bill.  Today is Friday, and they fully expect that you will begin to tune out for the weekend.  They hope this will be enough to quash any momentum against their bill and rush it through the Senate so that you won’t even see it coming.  Even now, Breitbart is reporting that Texas Senator Ted Cruz is starting a national petition to kill the bill.

I’ve got news for you: The Republicans and not a few Democrats are beginning to waver, which is precisely why you must build the pressure now, more than ever, until the bill is finally killed. Although they’re disguising it, the momentum is running your way.  The media lied even on radio about how many showed up for the rally on Wednesday in Washington, referring to the number as “hundreds” when it was actually many thousands.  This is the game you’re up against, and the only way they’ll ever let you know that you might be winning is by their eventual capitulation.  When Harry Reid is forced to table the bill, that’s when you’ll know you have won, but not before.

This Corker Amendment was a pre-planned strategy to mollify you into believing you had forced them to improve the bill, but because you haven’t fallen for it, and since you saw straight through it as the transparent play-acting too common to Washington DC that it is, they’re trying to rustle up the numbers to push it through anyway.  The situation looks grave, because that’s how they need it to appear for you, but it’s only threatening to the extent that you relent and let it go.  This once, you must be dogged.  You must be unrelenting.  You must be forceful in your denouncements of the bill and all who support it.  You must flood their Facebook pages, their Twitter feeds, and every other avenue of reaching them, because that is what they’re hoping to stymie.  Marco Rubio’s Facebook page is awash in criticism, and for every one or two kind remarks or comments made by obvious shills, there are dozens condemning the Senator and explaining their disappointment and horror at what he has done with the office he was given in 2010.   Some were threatening to primary him, and wondered if he’d pull a Charlie Crist in order to recapture his seat.  Yes, for some of them, it has gotten as bad as that, but if we are to succeed,  we must spread this affect from one end of Capitol Hill to the other, lest some get the idea that they may be immune.

This is the time when it will seem thankless and pointless.  That’s what they desperately need us to believe.  All the calls and faxes; letters and emails; tweets and the Facebook posts will seem as though despite their numbers, they’re having no effect.  The proponents of this bill need you to believe that.  They’ll hide the numbers.  They will do all they can so that you won’t work to stop them, but at long last, and once more, I urge you to remember:  This is your country.  This is your sovereignty.  This is the future of your children they’re throwing away.  This is the time and this is our moment when we must raise our voice against them like they’ve never heard them before.

What will you say later if you fail to engage and come to find it had been much closer than they had led you to believe, but believing they had it in the bag, you relented?    We must turn it around on them:  We will permit them to consider amnesty at some future date, in four years or so, if they spend the next four years or so making a serious, concerted effort at enforcing the border now and getting this mess under control.  When they lament the fact that we have now “de facto amnesty,” be sure to remind them that to the degree this is true, it is only because they have failed to uphold their oaths and to compel the executive by every legislative lever available to carry into execution all the laws of the land.  If there is “de facto amnesty,” it is only because they have been dishonest, or slothful in carrying out their duties.

“De facto amnesty,” my ass… This collection of ne’er-do-wells could secure our borders any time they damned-well please, if they actually wanted to do it. It’s time we demand it: Kill the bill and secure the border, now!
