"A nation without secure borders will not long be a sovereign nation," says Fred Thompson. "No matter how much lipstick Washington tries to slap onto this legislative pig, it's not going to win any beauty contests."

Fred Thompson running for president

I hope this is true.  The current field of so-called Republican candidates is pretty bleak.  Thompson has a record I respect, he has not flipped nor flopped, and he truly believes in Conservative ideals.

The Right in America is in trouble.  The current crop of Republican front-runners are either unabashed social liberals, or they are on EVERY side of the issues with no clear position.  With no clear message, and no clear ideals, there is no way the Republicans can hope to win back Congress and hold on to the White House. 

Enter Fred Thompson.

If he can communicate the ideals of Conservative government and spark a fire in the base then the nomination is his to lose.  Be prepared for the media to either embrace him or tear him apart.  (I suspect the latter, so I hope he has is personal affairs in order because the Left are vultures! )

So, for what it is worth, ConservativeGirl is standing behind Fred Thompson.  It is 100% official.  I look at it this way, the last time an actor was president things were not so bad .... not so bad at all.

Brothers Charged in Terror Plot Lived Illegally in U.S. for 23 Years

A federal law enforcement source confirmed to FOX News that the three — Dritan "Anthony" or "Tony" Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; and Eljvir "Elvis" Duka, 23 — also accumulated 19 traffic citations, but because they operated in "sanctuary cites," where law enforcement does not routinely report illegal immigrants to homeland security, none of the tickets raised red flags.

The brothers entered the United States near Brownsville, Texas, in 1984, the source said, which would put their ages at 1 to 6 when they crossed the border.

The source said there is no record of them entering by way of a regular border crossing, so they are investigating whether they were smuggled into the country.
