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 ! |

Ma'am, I have promised the Moderator to knock off personal attacks. Which I have done. You, on the other hand, have attacked me in a very personal way.
Why not get to know me before you judge me, ay? Maybe read my home page, see what I'm about and why. Drop me a FReepmail if you have any doubts, before calling me a Troll in public...
Fair play, ay.
I have never bashed the US. Quite the opposite. Show me where, show me when. Hasn't happened.

But never mind what we want. We're only citizens. Press 1 for Deportation- Smart people know what's going on. I don't. Those experts on those TV shouting matches know exactly what's happening in regards to illegal immigration and aid to Hamas. I read the same reports that come out of Washington and instead of being enlightened I grow woozy from confusion.
Protesters adopt stance of victim, forget illegals can't have rights without rule of law

Code of Conduct
Please pay close attention:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES
There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!
Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!
Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.
Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.
Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it
We cannot stress the following enough:
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Stand up for America not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly , do NOT bring it into this thread (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}
NOTE: I have lost too many dear friends here to things like this...I do NOT want to lose my new friends, old friends or have them alienated
Thank You!

#201 No personal grievance, happy to stay off your thread. Hope that Xenophobia doesn't make you lot think poorly of Immigrants. Speaking generally, we are an asset to any Nation that takes us in.
#131 America is a great Nation built by Immigrants. If you don't like that, well, go home and give it back to the Indians. (They won't complain and will probably do a better job).
No, America's biggest weakness is bigotry. Go read the base of the Statue of Liberty. True or False?
Nope, no bashing there. No pomposity either. /sarcasm
Sorry, just couldn't take the smoke. I've said my last to it.
> Nope, no bashing there. No pomposity either. /sarcasm
Nope, neither bashing nor pomposity, FRiend. I call it like I see it, from afar, in the best tradition of American baseball.
Like it or lump it, I'm tired of this argument. Time to move on.
"DieHard"
best tagline?...only an obvious expression of the exasperation we all feel
This is America...and it is mine...it is me...it is what we dream...it is what I dream...for our children...
I will not cease, I will not falter...I will die defending the idea of America...
My son serves today...so your grandchildren can be free tommorrow...
We all serve...
They will not steal my country...nor deny my responsibility to defend it...
America is so much bigger than the pretenders who try in vain to exploit the true defenders of freedom...
Live free or die...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this. I have been saying this around here for about two years now....this fear of bigotry thing even if unjustly accused paralyzes us from acting to defend our culture.
I hear uber RINO Ed Gillespie selling this PC garbage just two days ago. Disgusting
> this fear of bigotry thing even if unjustly accused paralyzes us from acting to defend our culture.
Mate, your Culture requires no defending. Trust me.
I'm a FRiend of America, and I get to say this as an outsider looking in. And I'd not voluntarily live in a world without an America.
You *do* have a problem with homeland invaders to your South. These people are not Immigrants: they are homeland invaders.
There is nothing bigoted about defending your home.
Yep.
