THANK-YOU !!! Can you believe a CA poster still so obsessed over a CO election ???
Sheeesh....Tom told his district why he was running again, even wrote them letters. In a post 9-11 world, he needed to be a strong voice in DC against illegal imm. & unsecured borders. His voters thought so too, they re-elected him 2-1.
Joe Stalin would be proud of the Denver-Post, taking a page right out of his playbook.
Propaganda from the Denver-Post and now Slate. I never thought I'd see this on the Free Republic.
This issue makes for some strange bedfellows. Just consider how quick the WSJournal will hurl the 'xenophobe' or 'nativist' charge at anyone on the Right who dissents from their Open Borders ideology, even when that dissenter is a solid ally on virtually all other issues.
True.
even when that dissenter is a solid ally on virtually all other issues.
Yes, thats also a good point. The globalist at the WSJ will put a knife in the back of this country for a few bucks.
"It pits those who put respect for the law first against those who put economics above all else. I'll maintain that a sound economy can only exist when built upon a just and trustworthy legal system"
Hmmm...Given its Any Rand's 100th B'Day, what would Hank & Dagney say about this...wasn't economics & production the point in "Atlas Shrugged"?.
You're welcome. Actually, PRND21 seems to be obsessed with making Tancredo look bad and has been posting the same "Tancredo used illegal aliens to work on his house" and "Tancredo lied about term limits" nonsense for quite some time now on Free Republic.
bttt
I also have to wonder also. I don't recall too many discussions between Hank and Dagney over national sovereignty, the overwhelming of social services, increases in crime, lost tax revenues, increased drug trafficking and a huge underground economy. It probably would have mucked up the plot too much. But that's the beauty of authoring a novel, book - Ayn Rand could include/exclude , emphasize/deemphasize the scenario any way she saw fit to make her point. She created the world of 'Atlas Shrugged' within certain boundaries (or 'borders', if you will)
