Bonus Quote of the Day

By 14 Comments

“It’s brazen. He’s acting like a petulant child who is upset with the American people because they disagree with the worthiness of his public policies. He doesn’t want the American people in future elections determining the outcome of those elections. Rather, he wants to import millions of foreigners who he hopes will tip the balance of future election in the Democratic Party’s favor.”

— Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), quoted by the Huntsville Times, on President Obama’s immigration measures.
