Myths About Afghanistan
Victor Davis Hanson on whether Afghanistan is really the "graveyard of empires ..."
As a Milblog I don’t often weigh in on matters solely political, but in instances where I have predicted it right, I like to brag to readers (even if I have to go back some four years ago to find my prediction).
I had told my oldest son, Josh, a while back after he predicted a total debacle for the health care bill that it didn’t matter. Obama’s aims are much more nefarious than just a socialization of our health care system. He knows that he doesn’t have the soul of the American people with this scheme, but that is America as it is currently constituted.
America could change with “immigration reform,” with more of the votes going democratic. And despite the current political difficulties, Obama is going for broke, sooner rather than later.
Despite steep odds, the White House has discussed prospects for reviving a major overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws, a commitment that President Obama has postponed once already.
Obama took up the issue privately with his staff Monday in a bid to advance a bill through Congress before lawmakers become too distracted by approaching midterm elections.
In the session, Obama and members of his Domestic Policy Council outlined ways to resuscitate the effort in a White House meeting with two senators — Democrat Charles E. Schumer of New York and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — who have spent months trying to craft a bill.
According to a person familiar with the meeting, the White House may ask Schumer and Graham to at least produce a blueprint that could be turned into legislative language.
The basis of a bill would include a path toward citizenship for the 10.8 million people living in the U.S. illegally.
If this succeeds, 10 – 15 million new voters will be added to the roles, most of them voting democratic. The current objections to socialization of our society and nationalization of our industries won’t matter. It will be an artifact of history, and Obama will have thus ensured that his party remains in power in perpetuity.
One final note. With people like Lindsey Graham in the Senate, Obama doesn’t even need total control over the legislative process. The GOP will apparently help him do it. Maybe the GOP is on a suicide mission for some reason or other?

You nailed it, Obama is an agent of change; changing America into a nation of his liking. He is a communist at heart and is doing all he can to ruin America and destroy the greatest nation in the world and I am afraid he will succeed. He was elected by a complicit press, stupid Americans and guilty whites who thought that voting for a phenotypically black would show the world how tolerant we are and all would be wonderful in the USA. None of that matters; Obama et al. don’t have any allegience to miinorities other than keeping them on the reservation so they can continue shoving benefits their way and ensure a permanent voting block to, as was stated in the article, make the democrat party the “only” party forever. The GOP is not much better and has had a death wish long before Charles Bronson. Lindsey Graham is a poor excuse for a republican and is a guilty white girly man. We can only hope Americans of all political strips wake up what is occuring in this nation and to the destruction of the American dream to all regardless of the amount of melanin in your skin. Minorities are the pawns of the democrats and have been for generations. If minorities woke up and realized how they have been used we might see a real revolt and finally get rid of the anit-American democrat party.
