If We May ...

He Says It, Not Us

The reverberations of thoughts originally proffered here continue apace, with brilliant participants in the ideological Wars That Matter weighing in after we have stepped off the scale.

Today economist, professor and occasional Friday Rush Limbaugh fill-in ("Black, by popular demand") Walter E. Williams has profferd his thoughts on what we, back on April 4th of this annum, termed the "America Last" approach.

Whereby everyone on Spaceship (Mother?) Earth not a citizen of these United States rates at the very least equal or quite possibly preeminent treatment to those of us who are in possession of the proper papers, or those now deemed egregiously foolish (slang: suckers) for seeking to obtain said documents through the proper channels.

As Professor Williams puts it:

Many people, including my libertarian friends and associates, advance an argument that differs little from saying that people anywhere in the world have a right to live in the United States irrespective of our laws or preferences.

The Professor Is On The Right

Which varies very little from our offering (albeit applied specifically to the perpetuation of El Grande Impuesto):

This has always been the Left’s approach to putting off the dreaded levy lightening; how can we cut when so many are without? With a whole world full of people awaiting access, this could end up being the end-all argument for the defense of the Big Tax.

The good Professor:

With today's welfare state, there's no such guarantee. People can come here, not work and not starve because the welfare state guarantees that they can live off the rest of us.

And us:

And now we have the invasion debate, during which we have seen proffered such moronic nostrums as the obligatory nature of our providing food, clothing, shelter, medicine and pocket money to any second grade drop-out who manages to cunningly maneuver his or her way through the multi-tiered fortress that is our border.

The resemblances continue throughout. Professor Williams is an incandescent man, and we consider ourselves to be in extraordinary company.

Now, if only our wallets were similar ... .
