Any hot threads? I am BORED!

[anita]

Yes, he is the one. Dismissive? - You decide.

[rodguy911]

I can attest to the quality of the comments EC.And thanks for the nice words. it's almost 1:00 Eastern and I am not even at post 300 yet!!

[jveritas]

I am glad that more of these traitors are joining the censure train that will lead the democrat and their media over the cliff. The stupidity of this democrat party is shocking.

[rodguy911]

Thanks you for everything you do snugs.

I think most Americans want stronger border security. The exceptions would be those who profit from drug smiggling or are members of Al Qaeda cells wanting to get some weaponry. I used to think a fence or wall wouldn't work, but the Israeli fence has made me re-think my position. I know we can't fence the entire border, but fencing the most hard-to-patrol areas would certainly help.

I understand both sides of the argument on what to do about the illegals currently here. We need to find out who they are and get them on the tax rolls. We also need to make employers more responsible. I just don't know HOW, and every time a solution is proposed, there are flaws which need to be considered.

I am quite tired of being accused of supporting illegal immigration. I do not, and I want a solution found. It has fallen to the Republicans to do this, imperfect though they are, because the democrats will not do anything (and we have 8 years of their behavior with Clinton in office to prove it).

I'd wager that Kerry mentions Viet Nam at least 2 times

I could only take short bursts of watching Kerry on MTP (I had to turn away, throw up or throw something at the TV) but I did catch a lengthy bit where he talked about going down to the Vietnam wall late at night and seeing all of those names of boys who were killed after we knew that the Vietnam war was a "mistake."  (He remembers vividly standing there, with the rest of the team of JAG lawyers from the office where he worked, on Christmas Eve... in the snow... with a beautiful Marine Colonel named Mac... he keeps a lucky bra she gave him in his desk drawer...)

I am desperate for someone to go back and find all of the claims about how things would be just perfect if only we'd leave Vietnam.  All they were saying was "give peace a chance."  Then throw it in the face of monsters like John Kerry and point out the MILLIONS of Vietnamese, Cambodians and other who were slaughtered because we "gave peace a chance."  Every one of their lies caused death and misery on a monstrous scale and now they are trying to do the same thing to the people of another region of the world.

They always talk about Vietnam as if abandoning them and running away was the right thing to do.  History will not be kind to this generation of Americans, particularly slime like Kerry.

[rodguy911]

Thank you MO1.

[Barset]

Thanks, Anita, this is great stuff.

[Pukin Dog]

Don't sweat it, because as much as we would hate to admit it, every single American supports illegal immigration. Most of us just don't know it yet, but we do.

[jveritas]

It is hard to know from this short statement he made on his blog whether he is dismissive or not. However he tried to over analyze the documents about Iraq Air force recruiting suicide bombers from their ranks to hit American interest. He said that by liberating Palestine (Israel) it means hitting US interests. He is wrong because the document is very clear on separating the two events i.e. liberating Palestine and striking American interests. If the authors of the documents meant it to be connected they would have worded differently.

Speaking of John Kerry, he gets deserved treatment from Ollie North , see:

Recipe for disaster

By Oliver North

Apr 7, 2006

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. John Kerry insists on proving that he can't be trusted. He made his political debut in 1970, joining the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, then accused American troops of war crimes in Vietnam -- and tried to deny he had done so. During his ill-fated presidential campaign, Kerry's hyperventilated claims to be a war hero were called into question by his own comrades. Now, the Democrat defeatist has published his formula for victory in Iraq: Just quit.

In a 600-word screed published this week by the New York Times, Kerry lays out his vision for the future. Unfortunately, like so much else in the Massachusetts liberal's political life, it is full of flim-flam, half-truths, distortions and outright falsehoods. A few examples based on my seven trips covering U.S. forces in Iraq for FOX News:

Kerry: "Now we find our troops in the middle of an escalating civil war."

Reality: No U.S. or Iraqi official has described what's happening as a civil war.

By the way, Blitzer is interviewing Kerry on CNN and Kerry has his Viet Nam picture on the Swift Boat carefully positioned behind him. I am throwing up my breakfast.

Im glad I havent eaten yet...

Better late than never

[Miss Marple]

I must admit, you have posted a side of the issue I have given NO consideration to. I will be happy to investigate numbers myself, but it would help me if you could give me a clue as to where to start looking. Like, are there figures of estimates on how many illegals are in any one industry?

I am not trying to pick a fight. I am serious about this. I think it would be good, factual stuff that would counter a lot of the shouting.

I want some sort of resolution to this issue, even if we decide to maintain the status quo as a conscious decision. All of the arguing is presenting a divided front to the world, and I don't think it is good for the country to continue to do so.

[Carolinamom]

Thank you for 'doing your job', jveritas. You have contributed SO MUCH. Now, our job will be to spread the results far and wide....and repeatedly.

My husband is ranting right now about how Julian is a disgrace to Purdue University and the State of Indiana. I told him Purdue can hang their heads, but I don't think Julian is from Indiana. Does anyone know for sure?

From an article that Phillips gave at Purdue recently:

Gift. Purpose. Destiny.

Julian Phillips, FOX News anchor and Purdue graduate, wrote these three words on the board behind him during his speech.

"Thirty-two years ago, I arrived here, a skinny kid from Queens on a Greyhound bus," he said. "Twenty-eight years after graduation, here I am."

So Julian's a New Yahkah from Da City.

Wasn't that Wall comment the absolute lowest? I was typing with my mouth open in absolute amazement at such crass opportunism and self-dramatization.

I have been to the wall just once. It is an overwhelming emotional experience. My anger at Kerry actually bringing it up and his claim that if the government had listened to him 30+ years ago it would have saved lives is beyond comment. His actions at that time emboldened the NVA and Viet Cong, and directly led to additional US lives lost and the enslavement of millions of South Vietnamese. He is truly despicable.

[snugs]

I would love to see that it sound so beautiful a real live Bambi
