Is a Terrorist Army Massing in the U.S.?

I know it's your forum, but your glib sarcasm on this very serious topic is inappropriate and unworthy of you, IMHO.

How deep is that bunker in your back yard? I want to get a good idea from an expert where to stop digging, otherwise I might hit the water table.

" Apparently Jim Robinson didn't enjoy it as much as you and I did!!"

Jim doesn't have a lot of patience with contrary FReepers at election time, but in all fairness to Jim, I think we all get pretty tense and testy coming up on an election, espeically one that is so critical with so much at stake, and none of us wants to see a replay of 2000. I tend to try and relieve the stress with humor. It helps preserve my sanity. I think Jim is more inclined to relieve stress by crispy frying posters who delight in mashing his buttons. Can't say as I blame him though. If I had the power of ZOT, I might do the same thing. I imagine it could be a powerful stress reducer.

Good idea about the Mexican prisons...after extended time in one of them the illegals might be longing for home in the Middle East.

I wondered if this would work: have an underground, electric fence running the length of north and south borders. Like the "invisible fence" people have to keep their dogs in the yard. (I think it gives a "shock" if an animal tries to cross over.)

The fence would cover all land except at the few heavily-guarded stations where legal immigrants would be allowed to come in.

Our smart U.S. engineers could develop a tamper-proof system (I don't have the details--I'll let them figure it out.)

I know it would take a lot of backhoes, but hey, it would give some Americans some work.

This may be the best idea yet!

[ninenot]

After all, there are no illegals in Arkansas either

Depends on the meaning of "illegal." X42, Traitor-in-Chief, stops there every once in a while.

[ninenot]

Even if this "army of terrorists" could sneak across the border, I don't believe such huge numbers of illegals could communicate and meet to plot this attack without being detected or giving themselves away.

Hey, Jorge, Al Caruba was not suggesting that they would run over to Ft. Bliss, get uniforms, form up, and march across America shooting at civilians in ranks 10x30.

His suggestion is that we now have about 250 groups of 20--that would mean about 1,000 airplane crews (by 9/11 standards) in the country.

If you hit the water table, I'd say your head is buried deep enough.

He was right, the name calling by overly enthusiastic Bush supporters does nothing but alienate their fellow voters.

You're not being objective. There are insult hurlers on all sides and they all alienate their fellow voters.

I have been a Republican for most of my life. I always believed the GOP stood for smaller government and less intrustion into people's lives and pocketbooks.The GOP has veered so far to the left that I don't recognize it anymore...

Federal spending as a percentage of GDP has been the same give or take a few percentage points for many years. Look at the numbers under Reagan, they are no different.

...and will take my vote elsewhere no matter what the insult-hurlers say.

The majority in this country likes big spending -- they voted for either Gore or Nader in 2000. Your vote elsewhere will only lead to more spending by the Democrats. I will vote for the most conservative candidate in the Republican primaries and I will then vote for the Republican candidate against the Democrats who are much worse.

Name a specific plank of the Constitution Party's platform that you have a problem with, or do you agree with everything they stand for and just object to who they are?

The problem in this country is not the Republican party. The problem is the electorate that seems to want BIG government.

How do you expect to elect a candidate on the Constitution party's platform, if you can't even get a majority of the electorate in the 2000 presidential elections to vote for the Republican candidate and platform?

[FreeReign]

...maybe, CP members should think about joing the R.P. and helping out.

Good idea.

Hey, if that's the case, you ought to go to the GOP and suggest the President create more social program and spend more money. No doubt this would result in a landslide for the President.

I do too sweetliberty. I'd rather feel like this
Than this!!

Hey, if that's the case,...

If?? Are you saying that Both Gore and Nader combined didn't get a majority of the vote?

[sweetliberty]

Very nice profile page!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Well then , you ought to go to the GOP and suggest the President create more social program and spend more money. No doubt this would result in a landslide for the President

Hey ninenot, neither was I. (what a coincidence)

His suggestion is that we now have about 250 groups of 20--that would mean about 1,000 airplane crews (by 9/11 standards) in the country.

And all 5,000 illegal immigrants are going to blend in like the Body Snatchers for years as they communicate with the secret code so nobody will detect the master plan until Osama gives the signal!
ROFL!

[ninenot]

suggest the President create more social program and spend more money

Bush does well enough without our helpful suggestions. There is No Child Left Behind--either here OR in Iraq.

Our immigration scandal goes waaay beyond your knee-jerk blame of Clinton.

It's not a "knee jerk" reaction. While I can't put the entire burden of the situation in Clinton's lap, I do know that he supported programs to enable thousand of people from Somalia to enter as "refugees" during his watch. And they are still here, feeding off of our tax dollars. And they are all Muslims.

When is the last time a person of Hispanic origin waged a terrorist attack on our country?
