Immigration, Assimilation and Sovereignty

Michelle Malkin writes about “the unhyphenated, the law-abiding, the gratitude-filled sons and daughters and grandchildren of legal immigrants” and supplies a  brief history of the Founding Fathers’ views on immigration and assimilation.

Martha Roby is the GOP establishment’s pick for the nomination in Alabama’s 2nd District congressional race against “Blue Dog” Democrat Rep. Bobby Bright.

Fitting Military Jeremiad Refreshingly Accurate

by Smitty Captain Hegseth, via Daley Gator, cuts through the fog of Postmodernism besetting Americans supporting reform: The good Captain concisely and more clearly states what I tried to communicate in various posts: start with the Constitution and move to the nominee.

Steady Development In The Virginia Lawsuit To Declare ObamaCare
Both An Exercise In Foolishness And Un-Constitutional, But Mostly Un-Constitutional
