Chuck Schumer on immigration: then and now — 15 Comments

  1. Tony Blair showed the Democrats the way. If the voters don’t buy your dog food, hire a new set of voters. Labour did that and Britain will never recover. You will be arrested for defending yourself against burglars.

    That is why Open Borders is the Democrats’ new theme.

  2. Nothing new here.
    “The evil is in the White House at the present time.”
    Tip O’Neill on president Regan.

  3. The key word in Emerson’s statement is the first word, “Foolish”. That adjective, with its very precise definition, has been shrugged aside, so that Emerson’s has become simply “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”.

    The elites do of course, by definition, have BIG, not little, minds. And like Schmucky Chuckie, thus have no difficulty with their inconsistencies.

  4. Thank you for pointing out that “foolish” bit. In many fields of work consistency is a major plus. As in consistent adherence to principles. Y’know, don’t lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do. Keep yourself physically fit, mentally alert, and morally straight. What to do is not hard to figure out, doing it is hard.

    As G. K. would say, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” That Christian ideal requires consistency.

  5. Over @ American Thinker, Thomas Lifson points out that noteworthy evidence has emerged that Schumer and Pelosi are at best in collusion and at worst just puppets; “With identical tweets, Schumer and Pelosi reveal themselves as mouthpieces for the same propaganda puppet master”

    Lifson points out that Schumer and Pelosi posted their tweets within 23 minutes of each other… Judge for yourself;

    “It’s Christmas Eve and President @realDonaldTrump is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the President is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve—after he just fired the Secretary of Defense.”

  6. As David Horowitz says, the issue is never the issue, it’s always accumulation of power by whatever means necessary. There’s no inconsistency at all in what Schumer and Pelosi say and do.

  7. I continue to be outraged at the hypocrisy and double standards of the PC Dems.

    So glad HR Clinton lost.

    The acceptance by GOP of the “secret discrimination” against hiring Rep professors is now, in my mind, the biggest issue on where the GOP is losing the culture war, now and in the near future.

  8. Just one man’s opinion here. I don’t have to look at this situation like a Ralph Waldo Emerson, because I think it is a simple one: Schumer is a typical Democrat. Yes, politicians of all parties lie to varying degrees. The point I will make here is that today the Democrats lie much more, because they are now a left wing party. Lefties lie more. Left wing organizations lie in lockstep; this is one of their defining characteristics. Lying and character assassination performed in unison are a powerful tactics and they believe they can be successful if they all lie together. The goal they hope to achieve on this political pivot is clear to all who are not willfully blind, and that is to increase the number of new entrants into the U.S. who are almost certain to vote for Democrats, and then find a way to give them the vote. The potential payoff is too great for them to be concerned with a trivial thing like accusations of inconsistency. Schumer didn’t “evolve;” he has just joined the new strategy bandwagon. We all know this, don’t we?

  9. Tell the dog bite victim that my dog doesn’t bite. If that doesn’t work, tell him I don’t own a dog. It’s theater of the absurd, but who cares if it works.

    MikeK mentions that a British citizen may/will be prosecuted for defending himself against burglars. There was that specific case that Neo posted many months ago where the homeowner was assaulted by a burglar in his home and responded by stabbing the burglar to death with a butcher knife. And was prosecuted.

    I discovered much later that the burglars in this case were members of The Travellers Irish ethnic group. This is a group that claims that robbing people is part of their cultural heritage. That while they may beat people, they don’t kill them, except by accident. If you want to see where the multi-cultural horse-pucky leads, just look at the U.K.

  10. painting Trump as racist by conflating illegal and legal immigrants doesn’t make it true it just make the democrats liars. Ann is the kind of useful idiot who still firmly believe Kavanaugh attempted to rape Ford or was waiting in line to gang rape unconscious girls who had a drink spiked by Kavanaugh and friends every weekend.

  11. At CBS News — “Trump lowers demand for border wall funding”:

    On the seventh day of the partial government shutdown, President Trump on Friday threatened to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border if Democrats refuse his monetary demands to build his long-promised wall. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said he expected the shutdown to go on for a while, but revealed the president has come down from his initial demand of $5 billion to build the wall.

    “We sat down with (Chuck) Schumer and gave him a number below five. I am not going to tell you what it is,” Mulvaney said.

  13. “We sat down with (Chuck) Schumer and gave him a number below five.

    They turned that down and may find he will not be willing to accept that number next time. It all depends on who is winning and I think Trump is.

    We will see.

  14. Eight Days With Harry Truman

    Truman was particularly irked by the “professional liberal,” whom he distinguished from “real liberals” like himself. Professional liberals lived by slogans and saw American politics as an ideological war, which Truman considered alien to the genius of the Democratic party. In his lifetime the party was a sort of political melting pot in which conservative Southerners and moderate border-state men like Truman found common ground with Eastern liberals. “Professional liberals are too arrogant to compromise,” Truman said. “In my experience they were also very unpleasant people on a personal level. Behind their slogans about saving the world and sharing the wealth with the common man lurked a nasty hunger for power. They’d double-cross their own mothers to get it or keep it.”

    Today, ALL liberals are “professional liberals”…
