Opinion: Fruits, Nuts & Democrats

By Burt Prelutsky, The Patriot Post - I have come to the conclusion that congressional Democrats don’t care about anything but winning elections. That may sound naïve of me. But I used to think they were sincere about their agendas, but simply wrong on the issues. Now I believe that the entire party, from Schumer and Pelosi on down, don’t give a fig about illegal aliens and the so-called Dreamers. Otherwise, they would have passed legislation during the first two years of Obama’s administration when they had sufficient numbers to do anything they wanted, as they proved when they passed the Affordable Care Act, which destroyed a perfectly fine health care system.

Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.

By CNSNews - In her speech attacking this resolution, Pelosi spoke about what she called the “spiritual connection” between a parent and a child... “This resolution does nothing to prevent the separation of babies from their mothers,” said Pelosi. “You’re parents. You know in the night, you hear a sound from the room down the hall, that connection is something beyond material. It is spiritual. It is about parent and child, mother and child, father and child, and now we’re going to rip that apart.”
