An Open Letter to Mr. Jim Robinson

Greetings from your fellow ilk and border weinees.

Maybe you two should go live along the southern border somewhere, anywhere. Then come back here in 3-4 months and let us know how you feel about the illegals trespassing on your property, threatening you and dumping their trash and excrement on your land.

That is, if you can make it through that experience alive. Somehow I doubt either of you are man enough.

Oh, and don't forget to report the OTM's that you come across as well, or do you want to let them in here too?

No, I was inspired by the conspiracy loons who choose to constantly denigrate and smear President Bush over some policy disagreement or another.

It's not unlike the single-issue pro-drug crowd which used to haunt the forum. The Towers were still smoldering the day after 9-11, and they were all out singing in unison that we must legalize all drugs because we are now at war with terrorists, and heaven knows we need every cop at our disposal to thwart terrorists. The deaths of 3,000 people became little more than a convenient excuse to dissemble and proselytize their favorite single-issue.

Not a citizen? jveritas is not a citizen?

I had a fifty-fifty chance of identifying the problem.

I should have picked the political neophyte option.

During the Clinton years H1-B workers and immigrants would ask me why were conservatives / Republicans so "divisive?" (A word oft used by the local Rat rag, the Sacramento Bee.)

I'd just laugh and remind them that that is how our system works. It's called debate.

Admittedly debate within a Party is arcane but the idea is the same.

Political debate is natural, jveritas. It's what Americans do. Hope this helps.

You ought to tell the WHOLE TRUTH when you post crap like that:

Saudis lavish expensive gifts on White House ($130,000 worth of jewelry to Bush family)
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | August 4, 2004

Washington: Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince presented $US130,000 ($185,000) worth of fine jewellery to George Bush, his wife, children and top aides in 2003. But the weightiest gift received by the US President's family came in the form of a consignment of raw meat.

The exquisite baubles presented by Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz may have cemented US-Saudi friendship amid tensions over Iraq, but the 136 kilograms of lamb presented by Argentina's President, Nestor Kirchner, probably did more to slake wartime appetites.

Valued at $US1500, Mr Kirchner's meat was the most unusual gift the US President received last year, according to the State Department's annual list of foreign leaders' presents to senior US officials.

Presented to Mr Bush during an official visit to Washington in July during which Mr Kirchner secured US support for a new international loan schedule, the lamb was transferred to the General Services Administration, presumably for distribution to government cafeterias or charity. Under US law, almost all gifts to the President and his top aides must be reported and turned over to the National Archives or other institutions for display.

The State Department said the single most valuable item received in 2003 was a $US95,500 matching set of diamond and sapphire earrings, bracelet and necklace presented to Laura Bush by Crown Prince Abdullah. Mr Bush received a clock in "silver and gold vermeil".

Among the Saudi gifts were two gold and silver daggers for the White House chief of staff, Andrew Card, and the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, a sculpture of a horse presented to Dr Rice's deputy, Stephen Hadley, and an ivory and gold letter opener offered to the Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince gave the Bush family $130,000 of fine jewelry, I think in 2003. Maybe he promised to hold his hand in exchange.

From Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, came watercolour portraits of all 43 US presidents, bound in a velvet book studded with precious gems. It is said to be worth $US45,000.

Indeed.

Political debate within the party is seen as treasonous, when treason itself is not considered at all.

However, you are far more gracious than I in offering any help to one who has most generously helped themself to what is not theirs, without asking.

[janetgreen]

Give us back our old party and then you will seee more support from the real conservatives.

100% true. The present "compassionate conservatism" (liberalism) that President Bush has pushed has alienated real conservatives.

Which one appears to be the more denigrating? My calm text or your bold text?

When you start talking CRAP look in the mirror 1st to make sure you are describing yourself correctly.

[harrowup]

...the lamb was transferred to the General Services Administration, presumably for distribution to government cafeterias or charity...

And I can confirm that the lamb was superb. We were given 75 Kilos for our annual ACLU Picnic in Rock Creek Park and my brother brought his homemade garlic...mmmmmmmmm.

You can deny hearing this from me.

[Howlin]

You're doing it again for all to see: he gave it to the UNITED STATES.........and you know it.

[Howlin]

Now that you've told us that, are you going to be killing us? (If you are, I have some things to do beforehand.)

[Spiff]

Ummmmm, The President cannot cut taxes and he cannot give me more OF MY OWN MONEY. AND YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE? This is a comedy thread right? It's all a put on right? Whew, for a second you had me there, I thought you were serious!

I'm glad someone said it. I was just about to post the same kind of thing but you beat me to it.

[Spiff]

No, he allows me to KEEP more of my own $

Let me get this straight - you think that the President somehow "allows" you to keep more of you own money!? The President does this. And you're thrilled that he allows you to do this? Hmmm...

[harrowup]

are you going to be killing us?

Not after reading your tag that seems to have escaped my attention...I could not in good conscience harm anyone who knows her priorities...

[TheSpottedOwl]

Yikes! I remember back when I was a little kid, seeing pics of aborted babies, but to make money off the body parts??????

[TheSpottedOwl]

Your kooky conspiracy mind is an insult to FR.

So is your blatant, mindless asskissing. Get a clue. We get to bitch at whomever we want to, especially after we elect them. It's the American way. Don't like it? Leave.

[RushCrush]

ok PICKY! poor choice of words.....the legislation allows me to keep more of my own money

The operative word being KEEP. I am keeping more of the money I earned since GWB took office in 2000.

GEESH

I'll bring homemade potato salad and coleslaw. I can do Italian pasta salad and garlic bread, too. Nothing's too good for our black helicopter pilots ;)

What kind of beer is on tap??

[TheSpottedOwl]

I sincerely hope that America's brave troops standing in harms way do not read the seditious political garbage being thrown around by the border-weenies.

So do I. Quit posting your usual garbage, and support our troops.

[TheSpottedOwl]

That's what I want to know. Why???? All the immigrants I have ever known certainly never shared this person's mindset.
