December 7, September 11 and May 25 JOHN W LILLPOP December 7 and September 11. Two tragic days in American history marred by attacks on our beloved homeland by cowardly foreign enemies. May 25 now joins those dates in infamy, after the US Senate visited unimaginable horror upon We the People in the name of immigration reform. Bombs were not dropped on Americans as was the case on December 7. Planes were not used as weapons of mass destruction against commercial landmarks and the Pentagon as on 9/11. Nonetheless, the devastation inflicted by the US Senate upon the We the People was whithering. In a spiritual sense, May 25 may actually represent a greater disaster for We the People than either Pearl Harbor or 9/11. After all, each of the 100 men and women serving in the Senate took an oath to protect and defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. In other words, they are supposed to be on OUR side… we count on them to protect our interests. But by a vote of 62-36, the US Senate said to hell with homeland security and American sovereignty. To hell with American language, borders and culture. Most tragically, to hell with the rule of law and to hell with We the People. Overall, 63% of the Senate voted to sell-out America in favor of Mexico. Only Judas has staged a more blatantly evil betrayal. Of the 42 Democrats who voted, 38 voted with Mexico, four with America. In other words, 90% of Democrat senators are unconcerned about US homeland security, and could care less if America decays into a third-world sewer like Mexico. The Democrats’ reward? 20 million new Democrats and the intoxicating lure of long-term political power. On the Republican side of the aisle, of the 56 who voted, 24 sided with Mexico while 32 said OK To America. In other words, 43% of GOP senators are more concerned with providing cheap labor for big business than with upholding the rule of law and protecting the homeland. True, 57% of the GOP voted for America. But Republicans are expected to defend American interests against the ravages of liberalism and socialism. Thus, 57% is abysmal. To add bitter poison to the mix, a GOP senator reportedly made a last minute change which requires the US to consult with Mexico before erecting a border fence. Consult with Mexico about securing US borders? Can you imagine? That’s like conferring with Osama bin Laden prior to implementing airport security. Or consulting with Iran’s goofy Ahmadinejad about US strategy for preventing the madman from blowing Israel into smithereens. Still, despite the gut-wrenching let down, patriotic Americans can be grateful for the fact that the US House of Representatives must also act on any immigration legislation before it can be signed into law. Thank God, the House is comprised of decent conservatives more commited to American security, sovereignty and culture than cheap labor.

Small bit of trivia: Hawaii was not a state in 1941, just a US territory.
Correct you are. I did not say that it was. The point is that Americans were attacked by a foreign enemy---and that is a fact.
The author implied Hawaii was a state with the phrase "attacks on our beloved homeland". Of course "Homeland" was not used to describe the USA until Bush created the DHS. I find the term quite irritating as it invokes nazi-like themes to me. I hated it when I first heard it, and still do.
Well, as the author of the referenced piece, let me apologize to you on behalf of GW Bush. I could have said the territory, soon-to-be-state, and the states of New York and Pennsylvania as well as Washington DC. Somehow, homeland seemed less messy.
I didn't realize you were the author. But apologies on behalf of Bush aren't accepted by me. I think Bush is a war monger. He loves having power to kill. He's a very dangerous man. Many tens of thousands, perhaps numbering well into the 6 digits, are dead because of him that would otherwise be alive today. That's because for someone who feels messing with the whole world is his mandate, a separate term needed to be created to describe the limited area that is supposed to be his only true concern. If he was only concerned about the 50 states, he wouldn't have needed to create the term "Homeland", would he, as everyone would understand that the "Department of Security" would only apply to the USA.
Actually, I wish he would wake up and defend the 50 states. Rather than working for Mexico.
