Quote of the Day: "An important moment"

Jed Babbin lays down the gauntlet and issues a clarion call - "Kill (their immigration) Bill":

"We are at an important moment in the history of our nation, one that will be analyzed for hundreds of years to come. It is a moment when conservatives can falter, worn out from the fight, or reach down into our collective character and find the strength to keep up the fight now and in months and years to come." - Jed Babbin

I believe the real conservatives in this country are becoming more united than we have been in a long time, as we find ourselves all in this fight against the largest illegal immigrant amnesty ever.

We are now fighting on common and secure ground of rock-solid conservative principles:

• We are defending American sovereignty and our right to decide who crosses our borders
• We are fighting to defend law and order, both in the immigration laws itself and in general
• We are fighting to stop the pillaging of taxpayers, the expansion of our welfare state, the undermining of working Americans, and the degradation and corruption of our Government
• We are fighting to defend American heritage, culture, language and unity against the multi-culturalist ideologues and the enemies of American exceptionalism

The one thing we conservative need now is ... a victory. If it is at the hands of the grassroots,
even as a negative 'victory' that stops a bad idea for a season, how sweet that will be. For it will confirm another key conservative principle - the strength of a free nation is in its citizens, not its leaders. It's up to us to make our own corrupted weak leaders do the right thing.
