The title of this post is intentionally provocative for a reason. It is a "Cultural Cruise Missile" intended to fly below the radar screens of the media and political elite at the speed of the blogosphere to frame the debate on this bill.
The title is also an accurate description of the effect of the bill. The new so-called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act" that is leaving the Senate is just a tarted up Immigration Amnesty bill. If the Bill’s provisions, as currently written, were implemented, the three Duka brothers of the "Fort Dix Six" would have been granted immigration amnesty had they not been arrested for terrorism first.
Resorting to "Cultural Cruise Missile" tactics are necessary as the moneyed interests in Washington are now colluding to put one over on the American public for their narrow interest$ over the General welfare and Security of the American people in their homes and businesses. These developments are being covered by Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt and Mickey Kaus. So I won't comment farther other than noting that,
1) There is no major political voting block in favor of Amnesty.
2) There is a huge one against it,
3) This voting block does not have money in party primaries while the public employee unions and the corporate open border caucus do. and
4) While this voting block may not be able to affect primary vote via well funded challengers. It will be there for the general election, and the most motivated portions of this block are Republicans wanting to punish "traitors"
A wipe out of sitting Republican senators may be in the offing in 2008.
If your average person or blogger wants to do something really effective about this bill, let's face facts. You only have the power to name this bill and define it to the American people. That takes a "Cultural Cruise Missile" slogan that can be repeated over and over again on the web and talk radio to destroy the credibility of those supporting the bill.
Here is another example of what bloggers can do with the "Cultural Cruise Missile” approach to the "Family unification" provisions of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act."
Lets suppose that the Ft. Dix plotters had delayed. With this bill enacted, the Duka brothers then brought in more like minded Islamist relatives into the nation to aide them.
This provision makes very real the possibility that we could have suicide vest bombers here in the USA.
Imagine a Palestinian style suicide bomber team set up in an Islamic country that has a forward element in the USA like the Duka brothers. Instead of getting guns and training, this element scouts targets and gathers field expedient explosives for a carefully prepared relative -- say a female relative whose "honor" has been stained and thus is in imminent danger of being murdered -- and fly’s her to the USA for the attack.
Thus the "Family Unification" provisions of for the” Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act" are now "The Suicide Bomber Importation Provision" of the act!
I invite Winds of Change posters and other bloggers to submit their "Cultural Cruise Missile" slogan entries in the following categories:
1) Terrorism
2) Money versus the American people
3) National Party Politics -- Republican
4) National Party Politics -- Democrat.
Let’s see just how creative you all are...and make sure you share the best entries with your friends!
