Are we losing our minds here?

Sim makes an interesting observation, one I share to a degree though for different reasons. I too am struck by what is going on in the wake of the President's immigration address last night. But not because I think it's silly, rather because I see what it's trying to do to conservatives.

On one hand you have group blogs splitting while on the other, some are proclaiming last night's speech as--potentially at least--the end of the Republican party as we've known it.

Meanwhile some are suggesting that conservatives take a pass in November to send a "message" to the GOP.

As Sim points out: Meanwhile, I'm asking myself "Is this really the most important issue we face? Is this really where I want this president focusing his efforts?" With all that is going on in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, North Korea, Bolivia, with healthcare, national energy policy, runaway Federal spending, is this really all he's got? "Teeming hordes" of brown people jumping fences, scurrying through the mountains, swimming the Rio Grande?

I hope to have something on this tomorrow when I have the time to organize my thoughts and committ them to the ether. In the meantime, I agree with Sim: Deal with it folks, we got bigger fish to fry!
