Coming Soon: Immigration Hypocrisy on the Right?

Drive-by Conservatives?

Rush Limbaugh has popularized the phrase "drive-by media"; an apt analogy, describing how certain press sources defame a subject on the fly, recklessly riddling a news target with bias and shallow analysis as a substitute for expertise. The truth to this analogy is powerful but its time for us to examine how we as conservatives employ the same unfortunate stratagem when it comes to the new economy.

As a 10-year IT professional and staunch conservative I have misgivings about making these thoughts public. But taking a page from author Jim Collins in his book Good to Great¸ the first action to keep any business or movement afloat must be to "confront the brutal facts." In short, rhetoric against outsourcing and immigration grows awkwardly hypocritical and antithetical to traditional capitalist values and flies dangerously blind to the economic realities of our day.
