There has been much speculation about what Tom Tancredo said on the now famous interview last Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Fla.
From what I am reading here on FR, much of that speculation is wrong.
Tancredo was, in fact, suggesting that we consider (not implement, just consider implementing) a strategy similar to the strategy that Reagan used to win the Cold War.
Listen for yourself. HERE
If you think Tancredo is a nut case, and you don't want to change your thinking, move along, this clip isn't for you. Just post your thoughts without listening.
You just lay off the Tancredo Kool-Aid and stop worrying about me. His comments are moronic and will only embolden the terrorists to come after us even harder. His comment doesn't rise to the level of Durbin, but it gives Newsweek and Isikoff the ammo to paint you as the nut you are.
OK, let me understand your position.
What would be your response to a Islamic Terrorist setting off a Nuclear Bomb in Montana?
By the way, we have already established that Bush said nuclear weapons are on the table for Rouge Nations.
Nuclear response to a Nuclear Attack is NATO Policy, and half of them are Winnie Liberals.
But explain yourself Big Sky, I would be happy to understand your position.
Tancredo is stabing our troops in the back, exactly how is he doing that?
CJ is just a spamming troll. Put him on permanent ignore and your FR experience will be much better.
You managed to get all the open border trolls to come out of their holes with this thread.
But only a very few people rate it as an important issue. It may play with the Bush-haters but not thoughtful voters.
You couldn't be more wrong about that. From a recent thread on Free Republic:
Immigration worries Republicans
Republican congressional members' constituents care more about immigration and border security than any othe issue, according to a new congressional insiders poll.
Seventeeen of the 37 Republican House and Senate members who responded to the National Journal's survey identified immigration as the issue "most on the minds of your consituents these days." That easily topped the next closest issue, the economy, which gained 10 votes, followed by gasoline prices with four votes and terrorism with threee votes.
I addressed this illogical reasoning on another thread. You're saying that the terrorists who already want to kill us will now want to kill us....more? Let's think about that for a second...
His comment doesn't rise to the level of Durbin, but it gives Newsweek and Isikoff the ammo to paint you as the nut you are.
You let Newsweek define right and wrong? Give me one reason why anyone should care what Newsweek thinks about conservatives.
Newsweek don't care about you, me, or anyone else but themselves. They are part of the hate America first crowd. Personally, I really don't give a hoot in hell one way or the other, they don't speak for me or America.
What would your response be?
Agincourt1415 asks a reasonable question in 202.
The Gallup poll consistently shows differently.
What's with you accusing people that disagreee with you of being Satanists? For lurkers, it completely invalidates any good points you might make.
not adequately secure the borders against terrorists unless they pass certain immigration reform legislation
And you are buying that load of B.S. ?
They are ignoring the law now by the thousands.
A piece of legislation is not going to solve the border issues. The will to DO what is needed may. I don't see any will...just a lot of talk.
P.S. My Senate Majority Leaders Survey/Fund raising letter came in with 45 questions. AND NOT ONE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION OR BORDER SECURITY....NOT ONE.
It's only an important issue to a very small number of people, all of whom post on FR.
You didn't answer my question. You do seem angery though. We'll just leave it there.
Are they satanists? Probably not. Are they embracing all the vices and none of the virtues? Probably so.
tancredo could ahve but now he cant
Check out CJ's previous words!
More sympathy for jihadists....and equating their struggle to christians....

Not to excuse or rationalize anyone's beliefs that committing murder is something holy to do, but martyrdom is a highly honored state of grace in Christianity, as well.

Bayou says about illegal immigration/border control: " It's only an important issue to a very small number of people, all of whom post on FR."
You're a lying propagandist bayourod

"The poll finds 91 percent think the illegal or undocumented immigration situation in the United States today is a "very" serious (63 percent) or "somewhat" serious (28 percent) problem. Only 5 percent think the problem is "not very" serious and 2 percent "not at all" serious."
"The new poll shows that 67 percent of Americans favor putting military forces on the borders to stop illegal immigration "
