Step Right Up and Look Inside

Do you remember the freak of nature side shows at the traveling circus? Only later to learn it was all an illusion. It occurred to me that just maybe, there is an illusion occurring in the White House at this time. We can most definitely assume that there is an illusion of some sort, the question is – what kind of illusion?

I present to you two options:

ILLUSION A – President Bush has turned his back and thumbed his nose at the very people who supported, elected, and defended him the past seven years by not only supporting, but also endorsing this amnesty bill that eighty percent of Americans oppose.

ILLUSION B – President Bush is using this proposed amnesty legislation as a distraction in an attempt to divert attention from the war as a means to accomplish necessary missions with the intent of ultimately vetoing the bill.

Option B never crossed my mind until I observed President Bush make a Freudian slip while attempting to defend the legislation. I spent many weeks racking my brain about why President Bush would support such legislation with nary a legitimate reason. Maybe this is simply a delusion on my part and not an illusion at all. Maybe it is just wishful thinking because for the life of me I have yet to figure out why President Bush would commit political suicide by supporting such a sham.

If someone knows the answer, please by all means, explain. Lord only knows that President Bush will not.

Illusions are running amuck these days in Washington, for instance, the illusion that new legislation will end the illegal immigration problem, the illusion that border control will be enforced, the illusion that the fence will actually be built, the illusion that ILLEGALS will obey the new proposed legislative requirements, the illusion that these illegals want to become American citizens, the illusion that terrorists are not freely skipping across our borders, the illusion that top border patrol officials are corrupt pocket-padding criminals, or the illusion that radical Mexicans do not want to invade and occupy our country.

However, the biggest illusion of all is that Congress represents the views of the people. Please do not forget the traders in 2008.
