Will the President Address the Nation from the Oval Office to Protect marriage? Not a chance in you-know-where.

Will the President Address the Nation to Protect Marriage?

The President took to the airwaves Monday night from the Oval Office to use the bully pulpit to push his Amnesty/Guest Worker proposal...will he give the same attention to protecting marriage? Don't hold your breath. (more)

And it's laughable to hear the First Lady say that the issue should not be used for political gain. That is precisely, apparently, what her husband did for 10 months while running to be re-elected. (more) From his address from the Roosevelt Room at the White House on February 24, 2004 when we said on the air 'I guess the campaign for re-election has begun' (transcript) to his last campaign speech at Moody Coliseum on the SMU Campus the night before the election (transcript)...in speech after speech...the president called for a constitutional amendment protecting marriage.

Then in his first press conference after re-election, the president laid out his real domestic agenda (transcript)...talked about spending political capital on the things that he told the American people he would pursue. Nowhere in there was anything about marriage protection. And there hasn't been anything since.

To hear the First Lady say what she said on Fox News Sunday signals what many have feared: the president said during the campaign what he needed to say about protecting marriage for political gain and then forgot about it and forgot about us.

It's not enough...it's nothing new, actually

here you go...the text of the president's speech.

it's amnesty and guest worker program...not secure the border and enforce the law.

US tipping Mexican government to Minute Men placement

Amazing...really...(here's the story)

What the Minute Men are doing is assisting the Border Patrol. Where they are, the Border Patrol doesn't need to have manpower.

If the goal of the Border Patrol is to secure the border (separate issue from how to deal with illegal immigration), how can this be anything but dispiriting.

I have heard it said several times lately that we will not get serious about this issue until we are attacked again. At first I dismissed this as a bit of hyperbole. The more I have seen and the longer time goes on with these kinds of stories, the more I, regrettably, agree.

If that is true...and that's a big IF...but if that is true...and it certainly is true that the more that time goes by, the more illegals (some of whom could certainly be bad guys...even terrorists) enter our country, what will be the risk of a catastrophic event? It seems it might be significant.

If you read the article it becomes clear that we are not serious about securing our border with Mexico and that Mexico wields weight that no foreign government should with an issue so important to our sovereign country.
