Profile In Hackery: Jennifer Rubin On Immigration
— DrewM

Fresh off her triumphant effort to push Mitt Romney as the great GOP hope, the Washington Post's "conservative" blogger Jennifer Rubin has been doing her best to build and burn straw men out of amnesty opponents.

Today she reached new highs as an intellectually stunted shill.

On the new Corker-Hoeven amendment she titled her post "Here comes the border security amendment".

We must pause at the title because that's where the hackery begins. You see, not that long ago Rubin told us the border security amendment had already arrived.

BREAKING: Cornyn presents solution for Gang of Eight

In a dramatic breakthrough on immigration reform, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) is offering up an amendment to break the log jam and address his and other GOP senatorsÂ’ concerns about border security.

Rubin was so enamored of Cornyn's plan and the positive noises her pet Mitt, er, Marco Rubio was making about it, the next day she assured everyone that the Cornyn amendment wasn't a "poison pill" to kill the bill but rather a legitimate effort to improve it.

In short, none of these pro-reform experts think CornynÂ’s proposal is a poison pill. If Democrats want to claim it is they have some explaining to do. Were they not serious when they put in the 90/100 percent standards [90% apprehension rate an 100% operational control] in the original bill?

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other liberals are starting to sound like a version of the Groucho Marx joke: They don’t want to be a member of any group that would devise a passable bill. If they can’t take “yes” for an answer, they will have many pro-immigration reform advocates and Hispanic Americans to answer to. Kicking away a deal just as it is coalescing reeks of bad faith.

So having seen the "bad faith" of the Democrats in killing the Cornyn amendment, Rubin is clearly ready to apologize to the people who have been pointing out all along that the Democrats aren't serious about security, right?

Nope, back to today's "Here comes the border security amendment" post...

RubioÂ’s office has worked with Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), whose effort to beef up security, was demagogued by Schumer and others, but in recent days has turned attention to the Corker-Hoeven effort, which is expected to clarify that at least some of the enhanced security measures must be in place before green card status becomes available to those who are illegally here and otherwise qualify (e.g. paying back taxes and a fine).

...

Some Republicans remain skeptical that the Democrats will play ball. On senior adviser not directly involved in the Gang of Eight discussions e-mails me, arguing that “Dems will allow no significant changes, certainly not anything that will increase the vote total, and that as a result, it will pass narrowly–and then sit on a shelf. They don’t want to make law, they just want to pass a bill.” That may still be the case, but we will find out when the amendment is revealed and Schumer and other Dems react to the one chance to do something meaningful in President Obama’s second term.

Rubin still seems surprised that some Republicans don't trust Democrats. In fairness to her, she's clearly more a fan of the Democrat position on amnesty.

So having killed what Rubin described as a serious attempt at security she is ready to accept an amendment that is, "expected to clarify that at least some of the enhanced security measures". That's the saving grace Republicans who care about security (allegedly including Rubio and Rubin herself) are supposed to be grateful for? Instead of tying the outcome of border security to green cards as Cornyn does, Corker-Hoeven ties inputs (hiring more agents, building more fences,, etc). If those inputs don't work, oh well, too bad full steam ahead on citizenship! Earlier Rubin accused Democrats of not taking their 90/100 percent language seriously and here she is throwing it overboard too.

Basically Chuck Schumer says, "you'll get nothing and you'll like it" and Rubio fan-girl Rubin says, "thank you Senator Schumer!". If she negotiated for her clients like she does for conservatives, no wonder she's not a lawyer anymore.

What bothers me the most about Rubin isn't that she's not a conservative. She's barely a Republican yet she's the type of person liberals interact with and think real conservatives should be judged by. It's not her hackery that hurts conservatism, it's the ability of Democrats to hold her up as the model and judge the rest of us against her.

Bonus Rubin buffoonery....

My colleague Greg Sargent does a fine job calling out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) for shedding crocodile tears over concern people will die trying to get into the country illegally under the Gang of Eight plan. The argument is as insincere as it is wrong (with enhanced border security fewer people will come).

Yeah.

And fixing the border does not mean "make an effort" or "spend some money" or "hire x new Border agents".  It means fix the border. 

Anyone who says otherwise is selling you snake oil.

16 I used to think 3rd parties were jokes and for kooks. However, if the GOP leadership is either so sold out for cheap gardeners and maids, or so deluded to think they can actually win a Hispandering contest, then forget it. They had fair warning in 2005, and deep down they know why Bush The Younger’s poll numbers plummetted. Nope, it wasn’t the war. It was the “Comprehensive” Amnesty fraud.

We can forgive pork-barrelling, we can forgive entitlements. But when they are deliberately importing the underclass that will be used to destroy The Republic, then forget it.

I just wish there was a 3rd Party that was coherent. I suppose one will have to be made.

I want to cry.

And may Jennifer Rubin get robbed, assaulted and worse by the underclass she is so eager to import.

so, after the 1986 bill, that was basically the last time we won california (1988 was by then too soon to matter).  And I suspect the reason why MD, NY, VA, ID, OR, NH, VT, and WA, and CO have gone blue is for the same reason, the californication of America.

Or rather, why are there somalis and south americans living everywhere in the USA?

Furthermore, now the left hopes to finally cross TX and OK off the list of red states.

50 This  is a national emergency, and that's why we need to address it right now, before other minor things like a budget, the deficit and government waste and corruption.  This isn't about politics, or racism, or class warfare, or perverting our system of justice, or tearing up our Constitution.  No.  It's for the benefit of all US citizens -- they need to be under Progressive Rulers so that none of those things will matter anymore except to historians.  So we need to import more progressive voters! The reason it's such a crises, and must be addressed now, is that progressives are losing ground here demographically -- and not because people choose to be conservative, that would be just stupid and racist -- it's because conservatives are out breeding us. They keep getting married and having families and they don't abort their fetuses!  So we need to shore up our voting block ahead of the next national elections.  This is dire people!

91 This whole disconnect between GOP leaders and the base is so weird...   like they are getting fed copious amounts of B.S. by consultants behind the scenes about how getting this passed will alleviate their "Latino-Voter" problem.  Otherwise, it makes no fucking sense to give Obama a big victory when his 2nd term is this close to turning into a premature lame-duck.

Is Frank Luntz up to more focus-group shenanigans?

If we're going to 'legalize' the lawbreakers, then why stop there?

 

Lets legalize some other lawbreaking...

We now have the magic number of 11 million...so what if 11 million of us decided to start cheating on our taxes?

 

OR...what if 11 million of us decided to break the laws of Obamacare?

can we square this round peg with the notion we were all gloating about:

 

That the obama economy sucks so bad that we're seeing a lack of illegal immigration and people are self deporting?

I guess obama is throwing some serious wampum in the air to get people to come here and stay for the benefits.*

* the benefits that Clinton/Newt made work dependent but that Obama's stash made legal again by illegally changing their enformcement and giving waivers.

108 93 This whole disconnect between GOP leaders and the base is so weird... - They are liquidating a white working class base they think is unworthy, and importing a non-white replacement base. Seriously, the're committed to policies of mass immigration and forced integration that mean that there won't be any white people left. And they think they can afford to do that. After all, in a two-party system, one party will be to the left of the other, for example Stalin being to the right of Trotsky. As long as the Democratic Party continues to run to the left and the Republican party follows more slowly, they can be the "relatively conservative" party no matter how socialist post-white America gets. Pseudo-conservative politicians are playing the same mass immigration game in all white countries. It's not a unique American phenomenon.

126 117 They all got the same briefing. "The seething masses on the dole will revolt unless you do everything the liberals tell you to." - There were no seething masses on the dole. When they filmed The Matrix in Sydney, they went looking for the bad part of town to film some scenes in (mainly the train station fight) and there was no such bad part, so they had to mock it up for the movie. Because we didn't have the "diversity" that creates Chicago and hell-holes like it. They are importing the seething Islamic masses. They have imported Islamic rape gangs. (Like in Great Britain.) They are creating deadly social conflict where there was none, and never would have been any if the politicians hadn't subsidized it coming in on boats. This is not about politicians in America being unable to control a border. They're bringing these people in because they want the browning of America, just like similar politicians in other white countries are pushing for the end of white people in those countries. They are right that mass immigration and forced integration will have that effect. It's white genocide. And the politicians don't care about all the other terrible consequences, for the economy, democracy and everything else.

130 I just had a visit from the Bureau of Land Management knock on my door.  Wanted to know if I would take a survey.  I said no, and started to close the door.  She put her hand up to stop the door from closing.  She asked "Do you own or rent?".  I told her I wasn't going to answer AN Y questions, and started to close the door again.  She tried to stop me from closing the door and was asking if I had taken the American Community Survey.  I told her if she stopped my door from closing one more time I would call the authority's and asked her to leave my property. 

She was a very well dressed and put-togeather lady of middle age, so I don't think it was bullshit totally, but gawtdaymun, the arrogance was dripping!

131 127, 130 the grass is always greener v. there's no place like home. not to mention, taking a racist stance advances the loss of humanity and empowers the idiotic 'social justice' fascistic authoritarianism complete with political police. Americans who immigrate and integrate within our Constitutional civilization always ended up getting along at some point via looking at the character of a person in human relations. You are correct, that this moment is critical in holding the constitutional line in the USA. Sign Cruz' national petition to protest the 'amnesty for illegals' comprehensive reform package immigration bill.

132 I have found that racial conflicts of interest are like what Trotsky supposedly said about war: you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. In other words, you may not have any interest in arguing for the specific interests of whites, because if there's no conflict why start one? But that just means that the politicians face no obstacle in importing massive racial conflicts. And then every conflict goes against you, because you are white and born guilty. 133 "127, 130 the grass is always greener v. there's no place like home. not to mention, taking a racist stance advances the loss of humanity and empowers the idiotic 'social justice' fascistic authoritarianism complete with political police." Taking any stance that defends our interests is going to be called "racist" and we have to not get bluffed by that. And yes is a racial conflict, because the politicians just import more and more non-whites till it becomes that.

Problem with Rubin - and most of the rest of the "conservative" punditocracy (not to mention the rest):  they're simply not that smart.  It's amazing to me how dumbed-down even the "smartest" "conservatives" usually are.  Barely any more sign of critical reasoning, broad knowledge, and intellectual curiosity than the drooling cretins like the NYT and WaPo "liberal" columnists.

 

Forget obvious idiots like Hannity, O'Reilly (how can anyone one tick above NPR-stupid listen to these airheads?) - take the "smart" educated ones.  Hewitt - ignorant and simplistic as a Dem Senator on national security, completely captured by the dumbed-down orthodoxy/arrogance of the legal class (I recall one jaw-dropping moment where he played some of the SCOTUS Obamacare oral arguments - a section when all sides speaking were making fools of themselves trying to discuss insurance as a business, and thereby reminding intelligent observers that the entire discussion was out of the proper purview of all of them - and he breaks in to say "gollleee, that right there folks is light-saber level legal debate" ...... speechless).  Medved - bigot and ignoramus with breathtaking self-regard and arrogance who snickers at arguments he can't touch with reason, and who stipulates 95% of all the most pernicious and ridiculous myths of the "left" as he dissects one (usually tangential) element.

 

Yes, the collapse of the media and education and the infiltration of racism and authoritarianism of all stripes as core values throughout the culture and institutions are more important, but the national degradation can also be seen at how pathetic most "conservative" pundits are.  A plunging tide lowers all boats, apparently.  Rubin is barely noticeable amongst the mediocrity, though Drew's post is still very spot-on and well done. 

 

I recall being stunned, years ago, when another staffer told me the boss wanted my comments on some stupid newspaper column.  I couldn't believe the senator actually read that drivel.  There are exceptions along the way, and clearly some people with practical intelligence still writing on the web, but the "public square" as it exists for most citizens is so dumbed down and distorted that I see slim chance of any serious civil culture surviving the passing of the last 2 generations ......

135 Rubin was so needlessly personal and hostile towards conservatives in 2012, and she's the same way now towards Senator Cruz with her 'he doesn't really care if people die' nastiness. It's hard to imagine someone who can dehumanize conservatives with no real justification is a sincere ally of the cause. I think she's a democrat who wants to work for the washington post, so fills the 'conservative' niche in a way that pleases the left. It's a real problem that the GOP listens to people like this, but the real problem with the GOP is all the liberal voters in the GOP (they did nominate Mitt Romney, after John Mccain... they have gone very far left indeed).

I used to like Medved until I noticed what you were taking him to task on.  Also, the last time I heard him, which was quite a while ago, he still insisted the JEF was a very gifted orator as I was screaming at my car radio loud enough to have any passing constabulary consider me a person of interest in any unsolved violent crimes.

Unless the american people has been, in the closet, where all the GAYS used to be, they should know that, obama, is a bi-sexual black zionist jew, no diferent than natanyahoo, except for the color of skin.

Why is it that the zionist jews are not afraid, of "virginia wolf", because virginia wolf was also a zionist bitch.

Now we all woll be able to put 2+2 together, and see, what hollywood is filming lately, and remember that every thing hollywood films is because, is already in the ZIONIST AGENDA to make it happen.

It has been a couple of decades, that I don't pay to warch any hollywood movies , because like my grand mother used to say, yo go and spend your money on a movie, so that the parasite jews, can live like kings and qieens, and that was when I could still affort a dollar for a ticket.

the movie that Iam talking about is the one,where Capitol gets blown to pcs.

I personaly belive that if the ZIONIST JEWS DO ANOTHER RED GLAG TO MOTIVATE AMERICANS INTO A THIRD WSORLD WAR, THEY WILL PROBABLY WILL BLOW THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE CAPITOL, THEN FOR SURE MARTIAL LAW WILL COME IN.

The JEWS are not screwing around, they did it to RUSSIA,GERMANY, AND ALL OF EUROPE, AS NOW THEY ARE DOING IT ALL THE AMERICAS AT THE SAME TIME, AND THE WORLD OF MOLE PEOPLE ARE STILL SITTING AT THEIR LOCAL CHURCH BEEN INDOCTRINATED BY THEIR JEWISH PROPHETS,AND FALSE TEACHERS, AND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH THE ZIONIST IMPOSTOR JEWISH PARASITES, WHO OWN 97% OF ALL WORLD MEDIA ACROSS THE BORD, ARE KEEPING THE PEOPLE SNORING.
