Won't say `Yeah' or `Nay' Beagle, but read it over.
(New & Improved Wikipedia: Now virtually euphemism-free!)

If someone is apparently following the advice and direction of a foreign leader, over the wishes and direction of his own people, then what would you call it?
"Makin' friends"?

We should not welcome those who want to come here to take advantage of what we have, but do not wish to become one of us.

I have only anecdotal evidence, but I live in an area with a very high proportion of first generation immigrants and have come to personally know a sizable number of them AND their children.

My conclusion is that the immigrant who loves, is willing to commit to and become a part of my great nation are very much in the minority. There are those that do, but not many. Most eagerly buy into the leftist view that America and Americans suck, and although the jobs and shopping are alright everything else isn't nearly as good as it is 'back home'.

In fact, we are letting in FAR too many who's dislike for America is palpable.

Those Americans who get all teary eyed at the thought of the teeming masses arriving on our shores longing to become Americans are being sold a bill of goods, big time.

"What's Patriotic about wanting to split up the Republican party and hand everything over to the commie democRATs?"

Sounds like a good question for Bush, don't you think? I'm not sure that he's got a valid and forgivable reason, but I'd rather hear the answer to that than to hear him try, yet again, to convince me that amnesty isn't amnesty.

"Is he building a fence or wall, NO." Then that must be a mirage down on the So. California border. "Is he beefing up the border patrol? No." ......WRONG! "He is sending guard units down to train and make a show" Tell that to the NG that will be down there in the sweltering heat building and putting up the barriers etc.,

Yes, you must be seeing mirage. The only fence that is going up right now is the one the minute men are building, or are you refering to that saggy, hole ridden piece of barbed wire that passes for a fence down by CA?

He is NOT beefing up the border patrol. He promised 2000 and added 210.

He is sending the guard down to do regular training. They will NOT be building barriers, no where in any speech did Bush say he was building barriers! It has been made plain that the guard is only going to be doing "administrative" duties to "free" the border patrol up to actually catch the criminal pieces of sh** that sneak across our border.

All in all the legislation that Bush proposes is the same as the shamefull amnesty bill the senate passed.

Only a total idiot would think allowing anyone who wants to come here is a good idea, only a total idiot would support allowing 12 to 20 million lawbreakers, some of them serious felons, to be allowed to become citizens.

The article is right, anyone who supports this amensty definately does not have American interest at heart but their own selfish interest, therefore this is teason. Not upholding that law of the land when you have been sworn into office to do so is treason and it can't be viewed any other way if looked at honestly.

Nothing.

I find it odd how some freepers are apparently willing to elect as President an unnamed, non-vetted, imaginary third party candidate who probably never got himself elected county dog catcher, rather than run out the RINOs and "conservatise" the GOP.

I can only come to one conclusion about all these whiners wanting to split the R party and form a 3rd party.

Obviously they all stayed home and none of them went to the polls last time and voted for any of the Senators or Congresscritters because none are willing to take the responsibility that their votes helped put them in DC and re-elected GWB.

Must have been the democRATs that voted for the Republicans we have there now.

So agree with our emotion based positions NOW or you are all TRAITORS!

Yeah, there is an argument that is going to get a lot of people to agree with your ideas. This regression to childhood tempetantrums by the Know Nothings keeps getting funnier and funnier to watch everyday.

Know Nothings?

I suppose that makes you a Know Something.

If a Know Something believes that embracing illegal criminal invasion of this nation is a good thing then I would suggest that you are completely devoid of any common sense!

Further, I've said it before in this forum and to you, that you are incapable of polite discourse on this matter or any issue of importance.

You're beyond sophomoric and in fact may indeed be a mere freshman.

What's patriotic about keeping one's mouth shut and not speaking out about the criminal, illegal invasion of this country? And isn't it indeed treason when our Elite Political Class attempts to ram this garbage down the throats of American citizens?

Those elites are all DemocRATs and too damned many Republicans!

No-ones telling you to keep your mouth shut about the illegal invasion......NO-ONE!

What I will say though is it's dumb and stupid not to realize that your intentions and plans to split the Republican party down the middle is a heads first fall over the cliff into the hands of the commie/democRats which will put the country on the fast track to communism.

"They bring their families with them and demand free medical care,
free social services, free food, and free education. After they graduate
from high school, they demand first top priority in the best universities"

And then get to run charter schools that would be considered
a KKK-of-color training school (and to keep major news organizations
from exposing their agenda):

As in the post above, Patriotism is a love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it. Political parties make no difference when it comes to this.

If the Republicans no longer represent my views on IMPORTANT issues that affect my back pocket, then I will no longer support them. Social issues come in a very distant second.

I, of course, don't know whether or not you're a American living in Britain, or an ex-Brit living in America; however, in case you haven't noticed all the efforts of our central government appear to have already put this nation on a fast track to communism.

When a nation has only a handful in the congress who have this nation's best interests at heart it is, indeed, a calamatous situation.

What a mess. When America has killer islamic fascists surrounding us, nuclear weapons in the hands of madmen, much of South and Central America in the hands of communist dictators who hate us, we find "elected" representatives in Washington inviting Mexican criminals to live amongst us.

Some of us are pointing out the sheer arrogance on the part of our elected lawmakers to go against what the majority of Americans truly want, while others, like you, state that to do so makes us dumb and stupid.

It would appear you, sir or madam, will not admit the truth about this most important treachery on the part of our government.
