This diatribe is one I have been hesitant to write. The thoughts from this one came about because of a personal conversation. With that said, I hope I can write this without revealing anything that was said to me in confidence.

The gentleman I was speaking with was admittedly, a liberal. It’s rare that a liberal admits to being one, so that is something at least. Throughout our conversation, he often mentioned social conscience. That is, when he wasn’t complaining about President Bush and all conservatives.

Of course, when talking to a liberal, Iraq is going to come up. He said that all the money that was being spent on the war could be used to take care of the poor around the world. I’m not sure about the rest of the world, but I can’t argue the poor in the USA could use some help.

This guy went on to tell me how the republicans had increased his taxes. How could he have come up with that, since Bush lowered taxes? Eventually I found out that it was more state and local taxes that had gone up. Amazing, A northern liberal state that has high taxes.

Somewhere in the conversation, I asked what he did for a living. This was only to get an idea of what he might make a year. This is when he confessed to being a complete liberal. He worked for some institution that helped the poor around the world. Its admirable to have a job where you do something to help others, and you get paid for it.

By this time I am guessing he doesn’t make much, and with life’s expenses, he might have a legitimate gripe about some things. It was at this point I found out his annual income was six figures. I’d feel guilty if I say in a public forum the things I then said to him.

Again I have drifted from my point. What I want to talk about is the social conscience thing. I remember several years ago when Elizabeth Dole was president of the Red Cross. I think at the time she resigned, she was making $150,000. A six-figure income would make a lot of people have a social conscience.

All this about social conscience confuses me. If you take a six-figure income from a helping organization, you have a social conscience. If you are Bill Gates and have contributed a quarter of a billion dollars to charity, you are demonized.

From the heading you might think this is going to be about terrorism. On the contrary, it’s about an invasion, the invasion of America, not only by Mexican immigrants, but also by the Mexican army. Are you aware our border guards are having shootouts with the Mexican army?

Just this week there were uniformed Mexican soldiers that were trying to smuggle drugs into the United States. They were confronted by US border guards, and the border patrol was fired on. The Mexican army used 16 caliber machine guns to fend off our border patrol. Eventually the Mexican soldiers fled back across the border and out of jurisdiction of the border guards.

I doubt anyone believes the Mexican soldiers were authorized by their government to cross the border. That does not excuse the Mexican government from liability. These incursions into our country are just as illegal as are the millions of immigrants pouring across the border. There have been several hundred of these incursions, so it’s not an isolated incident.

If American soldiers were to go into Mexico, there would be a worldwide outcry. As it is, few in this country are even aware it’s happening, so it’s easy to see why there is no outcry. What I would like to know, where is the US media on this? If it were not for Michelle Malkin and the Fox News Network, I doubt we would ever know it was happening.

So, what is it the left wants to do about the border? I suppose they, as do the Libertarians, just want to open the border and let people come in unchecked. Do that and the violence we see from terrorist, gangs, and drug lords, is only a taste of the violence we will experience.

The people that are not willing to see there is a problem, because they have on blinders, so they can have a social conscience, you need to feel guilty for the death caused by every illegal immigrant or terrorist. Let your social conscience be your guide to the bloodbath you have allowed to go on in this country.

The next time an American, or an illegal immigrant dunk driver, gang member, or drug dealer, the blood is on your hands for not doing anything about it kill a legal immigrant. I can’t do much myself, but at least I can recognize the problem and try and get people to understand.
