Dr Sowell does make a number of excellent points, one of which is that certain cultures are not compatible with Western Civilization; this has particularly proven true with those who seek to restore a Caliphate. We will continue to ignore this self evident truth to our own detriment & our possible peril. I wonder what it will finally take to cause the majority of this nation to awaken to the danger inherent in continuing to accommodate those who have no desire to assimilate or even participate in our unique American experiment with individual liberty & freedom?

Dr Sowell is truly a natl treasure & proves it yet again w/another excellent analysis of the entire immigration issue & all its ramifications & the pitfalls we face re the in- ability of our nation's elected representatives to honestly & competently address this particular problem.

Ray: My sympathies & prayers are with you--you are truly reaping the "rewards" of Nanny Bloomberg's policies in NYC, as every single gain realized by Giuliani is now being incrementally diminished & crime is running rampant.

USNbubblehead: Isn't there a grassroots movement afoot in NH to actively bring in more Conservative/Staunchly Libertarian folks in order to hinder the influence of some of these nefarious leftist types?

Yes, we can all recall Holder's words upon assuming AG, when he made reference to America as "a nation of cowards" in regard to matters relating to race. And why not? With useful idiot sycophants hanging on their every pronunciation as if they were Deities, the Obama admin continued to promote a divisive narrative, designed to polarize Americans into warring camps & foment civil strife.

I looked it up, "Eminence Grise" refers to power behind the scenes, often operating without an official title or acknowledgement.

Buck O: Janeane Garofalo always makes me want to retch anyway. Even if she were trying to be quiet & maintain a facade of decency & decorum the moral vacuity of her soulless self would be evident to all.

Does anyone else find so incredulous the pathetic excuse put forth by Obamageddon re each new scandal or hint of impropriety is that "he is just now learning of it from the news", like the rest of us, supposedly. Is this not the most incompetent & inept admin yet to "grace" America?

Buck O: Isn't that just a random coincidence that all these epic failures can be possibly attributed to Dem leadership, none lasting less than 25 years?

Valerie Jarret might well be the "Eminence Grise" running the show behind the scenes in the WH & directing operations, but I sincerely hope that ALL respon- sible parties will be ultimately held accountable for the devastation wreaked by this admin--regardless of what ostensible role each individual played or what in- fluence was wielded by which operative. They all should have criminal charges brought against them.
