One of my son's favorites. I didn't think there was anyone else in the world who still remembered...
Indeed, this reminds me that Sellers was given a heart attack by the young, leggy, and gorgeous Britt Ekland on their honeymoon.
What did that vivacious fox do to that poor man!! What a way to have a heart attack.
You may now return to the regularly scheduled thread....
Poor reasoning. Not all ME "aliens" are Muslims. Would you deport the ME CHRISTIANS who came here to escape Muslim fanaticism???
First, his comment was not "illegal" Middle East aliens, but ALL Middle East aliens. Certainly I have no problem with getting rid of the illegal, be they Middle Eastern, Chinese, Latino, or anything else.
Second, you think it is OK to victimize Middle Eastern non-Muslims just because they happen to be from the Middle East?? I think not. I thought we learned something about that from the illegal interment of the Japanese??
If you want to INVESTIGATE Middle Eastern immigrants for connections to Al Qaida, and deport those found to have such connections, that's perfectly fine, but a blanket deportation strictly based on ethnicity is not the way to go.
Can't believe this has happened - again.
The Islamikazis aren't going to just quit, not until after the end game and mecca is a big smoking crater.
Hmmm, maybe (if i were in a more liberal mood) i'd give them a choice. Leave the country, OR go to our internment camps. And i make no apolgies for my conservative ,We-are-at-WAR, mentality. Again, turning the tables, I would EXPECT to be deported from a foreign country if Americans pulled a 9/11 there, and continued to threaten more terrorism.
If the scenario played out in the lead article comes to pass, it will be because of the PC mentality. It will not be because we can't do anything about terrorism. It will be because we CHOOSE not to do anything about it. At this rate, we're headed for more carnage and a collapsed economy. Perhaps the good news is that as we bury our dead and struggle to survive, we can feel all warm and fuzzy inside for not having offended any mideasterners.
Now those i would not deport. I'd take them as prisoners of war.
:)
May it be a powerful one. I'll be watching for it. Thanks.
No can legitimately do. "Having a connection" to Al Qaida is not the same as being a member and actively participating in terrorism. Those you can prove active participation, sure, arrest'em, try'em, and shoot'em. Deport those with suspicious connections, but for which the proof of direct activity is lacking.
Maybe it should depend on how long any Middle Easterner has been here. If they've come recently ---withing the past few years they can go home. How can you really know someone is who they say, if they come from Saudi, they're probably not Christian since it's not allowed. There's other countries they could go to anyway.
Pretty easily, actually, IF the authorities take the time to actually investigate. If there is no "trail of proof", then "out they go". As to "not allowed", perhaps that is why they are leaving. How do you think Christianity survived during the period of Roman persecution?? Answer, by going "underground" (both figuratively, and in some cases, literally).
