CITIZENS' LAMENT: “We the People” are becoming an underclass, shoved around and trampled at the whims of the “elected aristocracy” that seeks only to advance its own interests. “Rights” are systematically being granted to a class of people who are within our borders illegally, simply because they hold the promise of blossoming into a robust voting bloc once they extort the title of “citizenship” from the government. And when such “rights” are arbitrarily bestowed where they do not belong, they are concurrently eroded among those who are properly entitled to them. -- Chris Adamo, opinioneditorials.com, 1/11/07
