And now is the time for W to start something like the WPA for these refugees. Show he is not a cookie-cutter conservative president but can rise to any occasion with the proper response.

Ok, but virtually every city that has convention centers usually has what ? CONVENTIONS IN CONVENTION CENTERS. The Alamo dome and the Astrodome are rarely used mostly empty facilities. Think before you criticize.

So cancel the conventions. Houston did. Why can't other cities? Hmmm......

The truth hurts. It happens and we resent people who come up here treat the locals as less than human all the while making this a big playground for themselves.

You come up here to visit you ask a waitress for something, you dont whistle or yell "Hey you come here". You dont go in the pubs bragging about how much you make in the auto factories and telling the locals how much they are dim for working like they do for what they get.

So you got a problem with that line? Huh? And you got a problem with the word hell?

Just indicating that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

You want respect for your good people and place, and we want respect for our good people here and this place.

And our attitude about using the h word is, "When you call me that, pardner.....smile."

...
You were being disrespectful to me, and I was insulted by your low class manners in the way you were addressing me.

I'm not the Republican Warrior Princess of FReeRepublic, but I am worthy of being addressed with courtesy.
