Many staunch Republican voters are quite upset that their Congressional leaders are leaving DC for the holiday without a severe retaliation against the incumbent president's unilateral granting of amnesty for almost 5 million illegal aliens now residing in the U.S.
However, in the long run, delaying a reaction will likely turn out to be a good thing. Because, every time retaliation is done quickly, without sufficient thought and consideration of all remedies possible, huge mistakes have been made in the past.
Therefore, if Congressional Republicans us their heads instead of their anger, they’ll stop to consider something the incumbent himself said in his speech: “'My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too. And whether our forebears were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, or what our last names are, or how we worship. What makes us Americans is our shared commitment to an ideal – that all of us are created equal, and all of us have the chance to make of our lives what we will.
That's the country our parents and grandparents and generations before them built for us. That's the tradition we must uphold. That's the legacy we must leave for those who are yet to come.”
And those are the words that, if dissected and understood properly, will sink the person who said them, the incumbent president himself. Because those who he’s using as an example, the very immigrants he’s claiming are the fabric of the nation, all arrived here legally. And that’s the huge difference between those who built the nation and the open, lawless ease of entry he’s forcing upon the nation now.
Furthermore, he’s not only using a completely invalid argument to support his comparison of illegal entrants to those who came here through proper channels and procedures, he’s simultaneously making fools of those who did so, as well.
Which means that he’s grossly insulting every law-abiding immigrant, their relatives and descendants by making those legal arrivals efforts to become true American citizens a merely elective waste of time and effort. Because, had they simply walked in without a care or concern for the nation’s laws and regulations, that would have been fine with him and his Democrat cohorts.
Therefore, as the reality of this blanket acceptance of illegality sinks in, it almost doesn’t matter what Republicans do in response. Because the huge majority of American citizens having legal ancestry, or having gone through the process themselves, will ultimately realize on their own how they’ve been insulted and their efforts at lawfulness have been mocked. And that by itself may be a blow that the Democrat party may never recover from in the future at the polls.
On another, but similar subject, Fox News.com reported today that another long-festering issue may be finally moving in the Republican ‘s favor.
“Federal investigators have told Congress that they have recovered data that may include lost emails from one of the pivotal figures in the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service's treatment of tea party groups, congressional aides said Friday.
Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Republicans who run the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the investigators said at a staff briefing Friday that they have recovered up to 30,000 emails to and from Lois Lerner.”
So, this too may prove to be a significant example of the value of diligence and persistence. Because, while surely preferring a far earlier conclusion to this matter, the time elapsed couldn’t be helped. And now, after the wait, the Republican case looks significantly better.
Which means that in both cases, fostering illegal immigration or abuse of governmental power via the IRS, it’s the result that counts and not the immediacy of reaction. And therefore, employing some time and patience should be rewarded in the future. Especially since in both cases, the Republicans position is absolutely correct.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
