16. How surprising, another knee jerk response. The Neocons are

winning because there are so many people on the left unwittingly
(or perhaps wittingly) doing their dirty work for them.

The Neocons do not have to defend their open border/cheap labor policy because so many on the left are more than happy to smear anyone who opposes that particular agenda.

Why are the Labor unions getting trampled? Because Bush has a policy of "matching willing workers with employers". So I guess the broad minded response would be that it is just too f?%#$ bad if you are the one whose job is being matched up with a more willing worker (from a cheaper labor pool).


So what if everyone of the Minutemen is a wacko, they have a single issue agenda which is stopping, or at least bringing a spotlight to the issue of, illegal immigration. So unless one thinks illegal immigration is a good thing, why look a gift horse in the mouth?

Wouldn't it be much better to use the Minutemen as a wedge againt the Neocons, rather than help the Neocons by smearing their opposition?
