“Without borders, there is no nation,” former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin wrote in a Breitbart op-ed this week. “Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America … President Obama‘s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here … It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the Left or Right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”
That this desperate cry for attention (dangling participle and all) will draw support from some on the Right is a problem conservatives must confront head-on. A movement once vibrant and intellectually sound finds itself today susceptible to hucksters purveying emotive outrage, who will say almost anything to be noticed — and the more outrageous, the better.
