I have a suggestion if you don't like my post don't read them. Its pretty simple. Also, I said the level of discourse on this topic and other topics have fallen down. FR is is not the entire conservative Universe so please calm down I wasnt talking about FR in particular.
No, dear.
You are a plant, or a retread, or have been banned before.
You have an agenda.
I've been reading your posts for some time.
You are not nice.
One thing I have always wanted to ask, but given my screen name, have been reluctantant...
Is English your first language?
Maybe its a Catholic thing that I just can't understand. But there seems to be a whole lot of Catholics in FR who reflexively want us to just roll over on this one and let Ted Kennedy and McCain tell us what is right and wrong. I really need some Catholics here to explain this to me. Is it just because virtually all of these illegals are Mexicans and Mexicans are virtually all Catholics? That doesn't sound rational to me but I can't come up with a good reason.
If the people who are upset by the level of discourse (like this twit who was crying on the phone with Hannity today) or upset by the 'name calling' and 'hysteria' and bothered by those of us who keep using the word AMNESTY can explain to me which piece of legislation that either John McCain or Ted Kennedy has ever authored which was NOT a threat to our democracy, I will be glad to calm down. Until then, I find it incredibly questionable to have my motives called into question for opposing people who routinely seek to destroy the GOP and conservatives.
Your Church absolves your sins after confessing and making penance. The Senate isn't even asking THAT! And if your sin was breaking into the cathedral and stealing the charity money, don't you think your priest would ask for you to return the money in addition to your penance? Or would a few Hail Mary's be acceptable in lieu of the money for the poor?
There are lots of ways to offer amnesty. One is to ask people to fill out paperwork for it and pay for the paperwork. Don't you think the drug dealers, child molesters, tax cheats, mob bosses and pimps would love to get the deal that these illegals are getting and clean their slate for a couple of thousand dollars?
