Derbyshire Has Had Enough, and I’m Almost There

The news that The US Border Patrol is tipping off the Mexican government to the locations of Minuteman patrols to facilitate the entry of illegal immigrants has sent John Derbyshire at National Review over the edge (HT Michelle Malkin, whose Hot Air segment today is a must-see):

This ….. is the last straw. Either our govt. is criminally incompetent, or else it is maliciously hostile to ordinary American citizens. Or both.

….. I can’t think of a single thing to say in favor of the national Republican party, its senators, representatives, governors, and administration. I can’t think of a single reason why, right now, I should vote for any of them.

I could never vote for the liberal mob; but if a conservative third party comes up between now and 2008, they’ll have my full attention — likely my money and my vote, too. We are on the last page of Animal Farm here; I can no longer tell the men from the pigs.

Anyone involved in making the decision to do this should be fired–yesterday. If that includes Department of Homeland Security Director Chertoff or lawyered-up ICE Princess Julie Myers (HT Debbie Schlussel), so be it.

One of the themes of Bill Pierce’s campaign was that incumbent Senator Mike DeWine has seldom been heard from when someone, ANYONE needs to say SOMETHING about what is going on. As usual, Mr. DeWine’s silence, and that of the vast majority in Congress, from both parties, is deafening.
