Okay, then we agree that opposition to Bush's guest worker program is not racist. That's not the implication you dropped in your post, and you know it. And you know what, I'm not feeling uncomfortable about pointing that out to you. If you don't like being called on your actions, modify them.
You speak of racism because you're drenched with it. You advance unfair, unequal, preferential treatment for your pet group, then damn everyone else for not jumping on board to support it. You would do a lot better to correct this flaw in your own character, before trying to damn everyone else.
I ask for the Mexican people to respect the laws of our nation and abide by them. I ask that they refrain from impacting our nation unfavorably. This isn't isolationist dreck. You think it is.
As for the wounded child comment, you certainly don't like having it revealed that you are a racist. Frankly I don't blame you. You advance the same type of policies that Robert Byrd would, only in reverse. Then you tell others they are aligned with him. Not you though? Right? When this is pointed out to you, it's the other person who is supposed to be acting like a child. Look bub, I asked you to lay off the race-baiting. You couldn't get yourself to do it. Now live with the damnation of your own actions, for what they are.
Only a complete fool would seek to caste calling others racists, and defining their comments as isolationist dreck, as gracious behavior. Then you have the audacity to cast an objective response to this, as 'taking great umbrage where no slur was intended.' My if you aren't forgiving of yourself. No slur was intended? LOL You are clueless.
Well I guess I'll just have to bear up under the charge that you are talking over my head. If charges of racism, categorizing my objection to criminality as isolationist dreck, and my responding to precisely the charges you made, is evidence to you of you talking over my head, I do think it's best you refrain from addressing this issue on the forum.
What is this post to me if not one big whine at being outed for precisely what you are? I responded on point in each post to you. If you don't like someone responding to the words you offer up here, then I'd suggest you find a topic you know at least something about. Hurling insults at other simply doesn't cut it.
NOW do you think you can quit using the racist taunt as a club? I doubt it.
I'll give it a try. I would make a lousy politician because I'm not trying to make converts. I use strong language because I have strong opinions on this issue. My opinions have evolved over time and experience. I believe my opinions will get better and sharper with vigourous debated. These exchanges with you have helped me re-examine and focus my beliefs
I appreciate your tonacity in the defense for your opinion. I can honestly say you present your side as well anyone. Thank you for taking the time to respond
