Look around this country, 8 to 12 millions illegals immigrants here with more coming every single day, with BOTH parties pandering to them and IGNORING law-abiding taxpayers. Also, government spending AND regulation is at an ALL TIME high. And with CFR this next election may well be a farce.
We may not be a third world hell-hole yet, but we are MUCH closer than you think.
Your biggest worry is whether your city gets nuked or not.
I know this sounds cold, but I live in the rural south, and if God forbid D.C. or NYC were nuked by terrorist, it might be a GOOD thing for the rest of this country's future.
OK. I know this is how you see it. But I have been to third world hellholes and America is not even remotely close to being one. Hint- we're the most advanced nation on Earth. Third world is worse than your worst nightmares.
At any rate, you can get worked up over this problem and this is fair enough. On a scale of one to ten, it might rate a five or six. Hey, let's be generous and give it a 9.
So, your issue is a 9.
My issue, on a scale of one to ten rates about 350 (that's three hundred fifty). Your issue pales in comparison to mine.
I care about your issue. I really do. Don't get me wrong on that. But next to nuclear annihilation, frankly, it doesn't seem that important to me.
If you think Kerry is the guy that's better suited to dealing with America's problem of getting nuked by al Qaeda- you vote for him. That's fair.
Personally, I don't think he's up to the job. Not that I necessarily think Dubya is either but between the two- Dubya looks about ten times as good.
As a New Yorker, I'd like to tell you what I really think of you wishing that me and my fellow citizens be nuked by terrorists, all so you can prove some political point, but I don't want to violate the rules of this site against personal attacks and obcene language.
Wow, I don't even know how to begin to respond to this. Actually, I *do* know, but that would result in my immediate banning, nuking, ZOTting, whatever.
I bet you were one of the jerks "tsk-tsking" on 9/11, about how we heathen New Yorkers brought it all upon ourselves, right? Those of us who were actually there and survived the attacks had it coming, didn't we?
There are some things I'd *very* much like to say to you, but since I'm a far better person than the petty little man that you are, I shall refrain.
And it might not be a bad thing if people in the South stopped inbreeding.
Its gone. As long as Im a New Yorker, it was there, but now its gone.
