Accusing those of us who simply want our borders secured of being racists, he added insult to injury. When our own U.S. Border Patrol confirms for us that more than 800 persons of Middle Eastern origin have been caught since January of 2003 on our southern border, I disagree with the President that this is a racially motivated concern.

While the Wall Street Journal editors sit around laughing at the silly people of "the Right" and declare that critics of the present bill do so for "culturally biased reasons," we real world Americans wonder what number of terrorists have slipped into the country if Border Patrol has stopped 55 persons on the southern border who have direct ties to terror groups since January of 2003.

We everyday folk think the current provisional amnesty bill needs to be stopped, but because we do the President says we are part of what's wrong with America. And when he says that we a trying to "frighten people into opposing the bill" all we are really doing is to help the beltway understand that this bill will destroy the nation that we love.

By accusing us of being isolationists (especially when we are not arguing for limits on legal immigration) the President is making the case for our nation's vulnerability.

President Bush those who have stood by you longest were appreciative of your leadership through 9/11. You have fought a brave fight to keep us safe. Yet your refusal to allow the grateful citizens of this country to voice our concerns at legislation we understand better than its authors is akin to being beaten by one's husband and told to be glad about it.

I'm sorry Mr. President, if you choose the comfort of your own "chesty blondes" like John McCain and Ted Kennedy, there's not much we can do to stop you in going down that road. Though the Wall Street Journal may grant you cover for policies that are legitimately negative to America's future as a sports writer covering for an infielder's infidelity, there is nothing in our agreement with you that says we have to show up at the press conference smiling and looking pretty while you sign autographs.

Adultery hurts everyone involved, and when it is engaged in while attacking those who have been faithful - it comes served up with extra sting.
