"It's a long ways from home," he said. "It's a long way from where they have lived, where they were acculturated."

Translation: Bring them back to the plantation they can'ts live nowhere else.

When you think about Jackson's southing's is rather raciest. Can you imagine Tom Delay saying this?

And thank GOODNESS for that. This is probably a huge blessing for some of those families. Maybe they'll actually learn that THEY can make a change and make better lives for themselves now.

I would like Jesse's comments on the fact that the Vietnamese have already acted and taken in their own.

"I deny the allegations....and I deny the allegater" - J. Jackson

Reminds me of a bright and sunny Sunday morning while attending service when someone f*rted....

It didn't go over well with the congregation. ; )

I'll bet Maine (with it's higher welfare payments) is breathing a sigh of relief about now.

Actually, a lot of Somalians haved moved to Maine, particularly Lewiston. Those that first settle in New Hampshire soon discover that Maine is a better deal, welfare-wise, and move there.

Also, some move to Maine to get away from high-crime urban areas, specifically Atlanta.

Ship them to Detroit

A couple of days there and they would be asking to go back to New Orleans.

Your rudeness was uncalled for.

If you had bothered to read down to post #72, you would have seen me answer my own question...

..but I think you were in too much of a hurry to post your rude reply.

>>"want to get a taste of a different culture">>>

That is what the word means I don't think he use it correctly. It means to CHANGE your culture by being exposed to other cultures.

As for being "acculturated" maybe they can reculturate and have a better quality of life than they had before.

The left doesn't want a melting pot America. They want a balkanized nation of special interests groups they can play off of one another with envy and bigotry.

News flash, Jesse. Alot of those people are going to find out there's life outside New Orleans, and it's pretty darn good.

They're not coming back.

"It's a long ways from home," he said. "It's a long way from where they have lived, where they were acculturated."

Sounds racist to me. The culture of America in my experience is quite familiar to anyone from anywhere in America no matter where they go, and getting more so. Moveover, getting off the plantation might do some good, and NO had some aspects of a plantation, a plantation in a bowl, cemented over. Got that Jesse? The man is a pig.

Shipping out the soon-to-be-former Dem voters to the deepest red state in the Union.
Too funny.

I think the reason they want to draw the distinction is that there is a cultural definition of the word that has seeped into American's minds. To most Americans the word refugee recalls to mind pictures of places in Africa, and other 3rd world countries where there is political unrest, as well as Cuban refugees and such.

I heard Jesse, not Rush however, and he made the point that these people are Citizens of the US, and are not refugees. People in the US IMHO might brush off helping hearing the word refugees because we are too used to hearing it. Hearing CITIZEN might encourage us to dig in our pockets deeper... sad but true.

Why don't the "Church and State" types ever tell REVEREND Jesse Jackson to get his nose out of politics?

If this were Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell standing up there with Tom DeLay and Senator Hutchinson the left would be throwing fits.

Jackson is upset about the word refugee, but doesn't have a problem coming up with an idea to more or less force these people to live in tent cities with winter coming on. We can give these people a chance to get out of the poverty and turn a disaster into something good. Jesse wants to make sure they get right back into the same predicament and under the same leadership that abandoned them in a death pit.

Did I mention he is a POS?
