A real world description of insanity would include an observation that it’s insane to expect something that didn’t work when tried before to just magically start working if one tries it often enough. Kind of “If at first you don’t succeed, keep on trying the same failed process again and again and again and… ”
Example: butting one’s ehad against 300′ thick solid granite. Or, the 1986 amnesty for approximately 400,000 illegal aliens that resulted in, 20 years later, somewhere between 13,000,000 and 20,000,000 illegal aliens residing here. What part of this do congresscritters and President Bush not understand?
So, amnesty in 1986 yielded 32 to 50 times as many alien invaders as were here before that amnesty. Smart. So smart that, hey! let’s do it again! Not only that, but let’s give the alien invaders every crack at destroying our society that we can. Along with news out of Texas that the feds in the U.S. Attorney’s office have instituted a “six strikes and we’ll consider thinking about contemplating throwing your ass back home where you belong” policy with illegal aliens, comes the confluence of being easy on drunk drivers and the apparent “six strikes and a warning” policy:
Before being charged with killing a Porter woman and her pregnant daughter in a crash Sunday, Ignacio Gomez-Gutierrez had been convicted three times for drunken driving in Harris County, court records show.
His third DWI arrest, which would normally become a felony, was reduced to a misdemeanor, a move the mayor’s crime victims advocate calls a “pivotal moment” that ultimately led to the deaths of Maria Ortiz, 49, and her 18-year-old daughter, Vanessa, who was five months pregnant.
Records also show Gomez-Gutierrez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was never deported after serving his time in jail in 2002, 2004 and 2005. [emphasis added]
You’ll note that the article from the Houston Chronicle (h.t. Diane of The Trouble With Angels) has the wrong title, “Suspect in fatal crash had 3 DWI convictions” instead of the more accurate, “Illegal Alien Kills Three with the Aid of the Criminal Justice System and the United States Government (Thank you Mr. Bush!)” And the “pivotal moment” that led to the deaths was NOT when the third DWI was reduced to a misdemeanor. No, it was when his FIRST brush with the law didn’t result in his body (in whatever condition) being thrown over the Rio Grande, back where he belonged. THAT was the pivotal moment when the state of Texas and the feddle gummint both failed to protect those they are supposed to serve. And those who failed, at every step along the way, to kick this murderer-waiting-on-opportunity (that’s what drunk drivers are, you know; just awaiting the chance to kill you or someone else) back to his home for HIS government to deal with should recieve the same punishment he does, no matter what that may be.
Including being kicked out of the country. “Bye, bye, now! Y’all don’t come back.”
Just another data point in the “Let’s flush America down the toilet” program of our various governments… Anarcho-tyranny example number 1,254,892…

Couldn’t have said it better myself, which is why I sent you the link. I knew you’d give it the treatment it deserved, unlike what WE’RE getting from our government.
