Yep! Sure does but the Libs sure feel good for encouraging DIE-Verse-It-e-bity along the way.

DIE-Verse-It-e-bity

Speaking of that, our union (IAM) replaced our yearly Valentin's Day dance with what was called a "diversity dance". It went over like a lead balloon with most members.

It really sickens me that the IAM has turned against this country by supporting amnesty. Many other members feel as I do.

I'm sure the traitor Huckabee is just delighted. He's just forced AMERICAN CITIZEN TAXPAYERS to pay even more than they already are to illegal aliens. Get a clue, Huckabee. Mexicans are NOT the American taxpayer's responsibility!

From the article..."The Arkansas House of Representatives voted 63-31 to pass a bill that would allow illegal aliens who graduate from Arkansas high schools to qualify for in-state tuition rates and taxpayer-funded state scholarships at state universities."

This is the first sentence. You don't need to read any further to realize that what you have here is a form of tyranny against the people of Arkansas. It is a form of tyranny when you require a citizen to financially support activities that are clearly illegal and act against the interests of that individual.

Our founding fathers would not have stood for this.

But heres the bigger question that arises after reading the account of Huckabees effectively whoring out his conservative credentials, by using the race card, and the black sponsor of the bill equating illegals with their own races struggle to reach equality afforded by the law....

There must be a very very serious BIG money agenda going on roun' heah over this illegal immigration.

Watching politicians of all political stripes sell their souls for this one issue is downright scary.

There is an agenda here that must be promoted at all costs. What exactly is the end game of this agenda?

Gov. Huckabee and our other elected officials have lost their freaking minds!

I think Huckabee thinks he will run for President and wants to establish some hispanic credentials. He apparently isn't worried about Arkansas since he is a lame duck here.

But, this will kill us. Arkansas will be the number one destination for illegal aliens after this. The number one part of Arkansas that will be the destination will be the northwest. The area of the Republican base. When they get there, they will vote Democrat. The Democrats in Little Rock are drinking champagne and hootin and hollerin tonight.

This is in a state where we have had to cut scholarship money for our own citizens due to budget constraints. A state where we can't afford to repair our own highways with borrowing from the big money boys and going into debt for years.

Huckabee has signed this. Huckabee spear-headed the efforts for the massive bond program. Huckabee spear-headed consolidation of schools and reduction of power of local school boards which the NEA and AEA jumped with joy over.

Y'all enjoy the music?

As long as White/Black America is divided amongst the two major parties where both parties are at political parity, the Hispanic will hold the balance of power. Many elections are won by less than 5 percentage points. That is why many GOP politicians are afraid to do what is right. I think the deadlock can be broken by a third party that draws Democrat and GOP nationalists to its ranks. Or 85 percent of the whites vote for one party.

HISTORY LESSON, ARKANSAS STYLE - GRANTING (FREE COLLEGE TUITION) EDUCATION RIGHTS TO *ILLEGAL IMMGRANTS* IS NOW EQUAL TO GRANTING CIVIL RIGHTS TO BLACK AMERICANS - ping.

(It's those Tyson chicken dollars squawking, Martha! So let's get this straight - the mad rush to open the border with Mexico and grant amnesty to umpteen tens of millions of illegal migrants is now all of a sudden tantamount to the 1957 Black civil rights movement for integration!!??)

Well Mike - this is a whole coop of chicken $hit!

Just this afternoon, I was talking to a very bright (American-born) citizen who will graduate from high school this year and he was wondering how he is going to be paying for college.

How will he Mike? Will he have to move to Mexico for a few years then come back across the border to qualify?

=====================================================

Gov. Mike Huckabee, who included the bill in his legislative package, drew a contrast between Wednesday’s vote in support of illegal immigrants and the state’s handling of the 1957 desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High School.

"They took a stand that Arkansas can be proud of," Huckabee said in describing the House. "I think if we had taken a similar one in 1957, it would have made us proud for a long, long time."

The Arkansas House of Representatives voted 63-31 to pass a bill that would allow illegal aliens who graduate from Arkansas high schools to qualify for in-state tuition rates and taxpayer-funded state scholarships at state universities.

"We have allowed these kids to dream," said Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, in support of her House Bill 1525. "We have put them in our schools, we have urged them to dream, and then we cut them off the moment they get out of high school."

We'll he better establish some credentials. He just lost a lot of votes by pulling this stunt.

"If an undocumented immigrant commits a crime ..."

"If"? I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this thought. Aren't they already committing a crime just by being here?

I heard a guy call in to a radio show and tell the jock that he was going to be holding a "meeting" on the capital steps and ask these "elected officials" if it was now okay for him to hire ILLEGAL aliens. He said he wanted a yes or no answer and he wasn't going to leave until he got one. He said that it would save him hundreds of thousands of dollars because he wouldn't have to pay taxes, insurance, etc. on them and he needed to make some money. lol! He was *issed!

Libs hate it when their favorite words get special pronunciations from us and there is not a thing they can do about it. Michael Savage is pretty good at it.
