Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America ! |

Into the Lion's Den, Vital Perspective Infiltrates A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition
On Wednesday night, the bloggers of Vital Perspective
attended an A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition meeting on immigration and witnessed first hand the intermarriage of radical socialism and militant Islam, packaged for the politically correct 21st century. The meeting, dubbed "Beating Back Bush and the System" attracted an odd mix of about twenty people of varying ages and backgrounds, brought together by a desire for revolution and a mutual understanding that facts and history were merely minor hurdles in their struggle.

its about time. someone finally brought it up: the Monroe Doctrine. it's quite applicable to our present dilemma.
Diehard. ive been reading the thread & your recent statement on the Doctrine is off base. assimilating all of North America into one unit is not inherent in Monroe's ideology.the doctrine basically is "essentially, the United States was informing the powers of the Old World that the American continents were no longer open to European colonization, and that any effort to extend European political influence into the New World would be considered by the United States "as dangerous to our peace and safety." The United States would not interfere in European wars or internal affairs, and expected Europe to stay out of American affairs."
from: http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/democrac/50.htm
of course, that latter part is not followed. ie witness WW2.
however the Doctrine needs to be revamped for our present distress. illegal immigration is parallel to biological continental invasion via a nonnative invasive species that super competes with native species.
Monroe's idea needs be applied beyond it's original intent in intercontinental relations to intracontinental relations with our neighbors. no nation or territory on the American continent may invade, undermine, interfere et al with the United States of America. once fully realized, this should be made into a Constitutional Amendment.

Several thousand people gathered to support expanding immigrants rights and to protest congressional bill HR 4437, a bill designed to greatly tighten United States immigration.
For us the sign reads 'We are not criminals.'
I expect tomorrows marches to do a lot of damage to their cause. Lots of communist orgs and Muslim groups are joining in to be supplemented with school children, street punks and the illegals themselves. It should go over real good. Pander to that, Senators!

I wonder if she is a proud member of the DSA ?
It has been a few years since I have gotten a nasty FReep-mail. It wasn't vulgar it was clearly an implied threat. That poster also had never posted in the forum. I took his message and handle and posted it on the thread that had set him off. He FReep-mailed me an open threat with assorted nastiness so I posted that too along with an invitation to back up his BS. Never heard from him again.
I guess if I were going to do that with a vulgar FReep-mail I'd have to disguise the four letter words but that is how I would handle it still, FWIW.
We have a constitutional republic not a democracy. BIG difference. Very big. But you knew that, being an expert on the U.S.

> We have a constitutional republic not a democracy. BIG difference. Very big. But you knew that, being an expert on the U.S.
(big grin) Smart*ss. I recall about a year ago a newbie getting roasted on the FR for writing a Vanity on that very subject. And yes, I knew that.
Pax, OK?? Friendly Fire happening from the South. You clever Americans have now surrounded an Ally with lots of ammunition and plenty of time and desire to fight on.
Problem is, I don't want to fight anymore because the thread owner has rightly identified that doing so is taking the thread way off-topic.
Pax! Truce! OK???
> Diehard. ive been reading the thread & your recent statement on the Doctrine is off base
It may well be way off-base. The way it was taught in Vancouver in the 1970's is that "America has a Manifest Destiny to be a continental nation."
By implication, America would assimilate Canada and Mexico.
Munroe may have meant something entirely different. But this is how it was taught when and where I grew up.
(And as time rolls on it seems entirely feasible that America could indeed be a continental nation. Unless Canada gets her act together real quick...)
No fight. Just truth! ; )
Great job, JP!
translation..Bush pedimos tu apollo
Bush we ask for (or request or demand) your support

They must have public schools in Mexico too...
No, America's biggest weakness is bigotry. Go read the base of the Statue of Liberty. True or False?
