We have traveled similar paths (see my profile for more details).
There is no need to feel guilty over the 'sins' of the past. Consider this:
You believed what you had been taught and trusted those in a position of authority to be honest and not to be misleading. As you matured, you began to think for yourself, as you did, you learned the error of THEIR ways, not yours.
An old quote, one you have probably heard before, and one attributed to many (most often to Churchill):
note: there are many variations of this around, but that is the one I remember.
"I'M Denny Crane !"
Yup, Captain Kirk moved to Boston and became a lawyer. He couldn't afford what Starfleet was paying him.
You don't have to be a citizen to vote Democratic in most large American cities.
I'm sick of hearing this one from stupid women. I married a man that is a citizen of another country. (We live outside the US right now) I thought of the ramifications before I married him. If we ever decide to live in the US, I realize that even though, at this time, my husband will have first priority on a green card, he will still have to wait in line to legally enter the US.
It's also not something that is guaranteed. The laws could change before we decide to move and I could find that my husband can't enter the US. I thought about this and whether I would be willing to live in his country BEFORE I married him.
Right now Mexico is entitled to more yearly visas than the whole of Europe combined.(the last statistics I can find are from 2004, Mexico 170k visas versus the whole of Europe 130k visas) I'm more than a little unhappy that they are talking about upping the number of legal visas Mexico gets each year because that will lessen the number of visas for my husband's country.
Regarding your your tagline; Doesn't Denny also end his lines with - Denny Crane.
We can only hope that Rush has one of his lackeys monitoring threads like this.
ML/NJ (remembering the early days of CIS when Rush was a poster himself)

Loretta Sanchez was first elected to the House of Representatives in Santa Ana, CA, thanks to the illegal vote. Prior to the election an "immigrant" group registered illegal aliens and told them they could vote. Sanchez defeated longtime incumbent Bob Dornan.
And in the larger picture, I think what Rush was probably actually talking about was the vote of these illegal aliens after they are granted citizenship.
