Nearly exhausted from my small but tiring part in our recent grassroots battle to save our country, I searched for the appropriate victorious theme that my counterparts could wholly and mutually engage and endorse. For someone known locally as a bold crier against government contempt and foul, this quest to communicate my thoughts and fears, both past and present, pertaining to the defeat of the Amnesty bill, lead me through the Valley of the Speechless.

Having spent the last decade indulged in the art of sales management, it was only natural that I fell upon my forte to identify that one, lone, all-encompassing act which could be the vessel for the message to my fellow compatriots. Thus, I humbly credit my vocation, rather than any non-existent prophetic talent, for my success in locating that profoundly omnibus phrase upon which my victorious salute is manifested. A spectacular creation by “Captain Teddy and the Secret Bill Writers”, that while initially clever, later emerged from their D.C. Assembly Line only to roll on square wheels. Alas, it had been right in front of me for months… the advertisement of the ‘Permanent-Temporary Visa.’

No sane person could have denied that this Trojan horse was crammed full of oxymoronic Marxist patronage. Unequivocally, the peddling of such socialist and treasonous policy was seen by most Americans as the Hindenburg of salesmanship. Only a gentleman from Massachusetts with a bastardized interpretation of our Constitution could expect the common folk to buy into the idea that an illegal alien could be afforded a temporary visa with no date of expiration. And, only politicians with no respect for their oaths of office could help perpetuate such a fallacy. Surely, privately, they must have realized that this ideological mutation of U.S. citizenship would be the wind shear that would send America into a spiraling flat-spin destined for impact with Third World Status! Not one, not ten, not ten-thousand, but tens of millions of fiercely loyal homeland-defenders immediately identified this Kennedy-sired, super-intellectual yet demented brainchild, also known as the Z-Visa, as the irrefutable ‘shot heard ‘round the world.’

Having had the pleasure of watching this year’s 3rd Republican Presidential Debate, I must humbly borrow Tom Tancredo’s portrayal of Ben Franklin’s response to the anxious lady who approached him after the signing of the Constitution. Franklin was asked, “Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” to which he replied, “A republic if you can keep it.” The theme of my message is just that… it takes permanent victories to preserve our temporary liberties. Thus, weary and tired of hoping their elected leaders would govern for the people and dispatch the Kennedy-Bush Amnesty bill, Americans sharpened their pitchforks and shouted over the hilltops as they chose preservation over capitulation.

From the thunderous wails of the Prisoner of South L.A., to the fervent penmanship of the Bicycling Paul Revere, to reports from the Hereford, Arizona Border Scout, to the great couriers of NumbersUSA, we echoed the shrill warning of ‘caveat emptor’ until we heard the Liberty Bell ring! Sorry Teddy, but no cigar!

Resolve, in its purest form, was our mightiest weapon against this latest, unprecedented volley of ‘friendly fire’ upon our sovereignty. However, we must heed the words of the late General George Patton when he warned that “all glory is fleeting.” It’s okay, hop aboard those chariots and celebrate this 4th of July like no other before. Every one of you earned the right to bask in the warm glow of this historical victory. Yet, never forget that this was our Permanent-Temporary Victory, a temporary conquest over a permanent enemy that will someday rear its ugly head again and again and again. Remain vigilant, but raise your glass high with me on this Independence Day as I make a toast to all of you beautiful American patriots!
