Pity VE Day Was Taken
Mark Krikorian rhapsodizes about the defeat of comprehensive immigration reform:
Today's defeat of the Senate amnesty bill was more than a
run-of-the-mill legislative victory, representing as it did a
self-organizing public's defeat of combined force of Big Business,
(some of) Big Labor, Big Media, Big Religion, Big Philanthropy, Big
Academia, and Big Government. So I looked at what else has happened on
June 28 — the closest parallel would appear to be the Battle of
Monmouth in 1778, of the only two times when Gen. Washington managed to
fight British regulars to a draw in a conventional battle. Because
that's all this is — a draw, because the open-borders folks aren't
going to give up. It's just that they went from their usual tactics of
piecemeal, behind-the-scenes victories, buried in appropriations bills
and little-known courtrooms and bureaucratic offices, and tried to get
the whole enchilada — trying to emulate something else that happened on
June 28, the Turks' defeat of the Serbs at the Battle of Kosovo in
1389, leading to Ottoman conquest of all southeastern Europe.
No, you can't make this shit up.
