I would respectfully ask that you read post 213 before you pass final judgement. thank you
Wow. 3 posts until the thread was hijacked. Is that a record?
"Yawn"?
Yeah, you've heard it all before.
But you don't have any answers for what I said, do you? By the way: for belittling the law-abiding courage of my grandparents, you deserve whatever unexpected thing comes your way next. (That is not a threat from me to you; that is me sitting back with a smile knowing that, by this time in my life, I've learned that when people dishonor other people, as you just did, it always comes back with a big bite in the ass.)
Let 60 be a big day for you. Commit to stop being a stooge-apologist for the invasion of illegals. Make a pledge to stop deceiving yourself--in other words, do all you can do to get that old brain up and working again. I guess what I'm saying is, Dude, you need some Viagra for your brain.
You, like the lefties, keep forgetting that Bush isn't running; that his immigration plan is dead anyway; that the key to getting the nuke/ANWAR energy you desire is 2-3 more CONSERVATIVE SENATORS; and that public attitudes toward Iraq and the WoT will provide a necessary margin for increasing the votes in the senate.
The Club for Growth has estimated that we are a HANDFUL of votes away from securing a CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY in the House, which is absolutely huge; and while we are some ways away in the Senate, one or two more conservatives would exert pressure on people like Graham and DeWine to toe the line.
So Bush's "mojo" is extremely important in the bigger picture, and completely irrelevant when it comes to his specific policies.
You need to repeat this over and over again in the months to come.
Thanks for the Ping...I hope you are doing well.
BTW, my grandparents arrived on the same boats yours did...from Sicily.
My mother understood Italian but did not speak it. I can't even understand Andre Bocelli.
And my grandparents had it tough too....walking 2 miles to school...uphill...both ways...with no shoes. /sarcasm.
The immigrant today will do the same thing. The kids will speak Inglese and good taxpayers and future soldiers in our military.
They will take the place of the 40 million souls lost because of Roe v Wade.
A smart man gets a lot of advice, a wise man knows he must evaluate the advice he gets. President Bush is a wise man, a wise man who plans. On this issue, you are thinking in the short term. The President doesn't have that luxury. He has a good track record of getting what he wants and sometimes, like President Reagan, he gets there incrementally.
In this thread alone, you've 'greatly honored' /sarcasm people with the lines below, and make then act all pious about talking bad to other people. No wait... I understand, when you do it, it's different. Yes, that must be it.
Dude, you need some Viagra for your brain and this:
I guess you've been here so freaking long your brain is past its expiration date and this:
I miss your posts..The "yeah buts" are enough to drive many of us away..I crept back into posting on this type of thread because I can steel myself to ignore them better after a bit of practice..If a thread gets hijacked then there is nothing to do but hope to try again and see if they are all having dinner, mowing the lawn, writing their Congressman,or making amends to somone they have wronged...
I would hate to be so tied up in one issue that I could never feel positive about other good news. It has been a good week..I rejoice over the good news.
Amen,amen,and amen.
"Gotcha mojo rising"
I'll bet Jmouse crabbed just as hard at Clinton, Bush1, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Johnson and Kennedy about their ineffective approaches to illegal immigration. And at their respective congresses.
Not.
And while some of the above were excellent presidents, none of them dealt adequately with the gathering threat of Islamofacism. Until GW Bush.
So go peddle your papers Jmouse. Your thread dumping isn't gaining traction here.
Thanks for the ping. I haven't quit freeping, but I confess to being perplexed by posts like the one Lando pointed out--and it seems to me that there are a whole lot more of them these days than there used to be. Someone said such posts remind them of the seminar callers--exactly so.
Great article to pass along to my friends who are needing some encouragement in addition to what's on the news. Hope the immigration bregade doesn't wreck this link. Let's try to enjoy the good for just a day!
As I've said before, Ann Coulter has to tie knots in her legs to make knees. Countless posters seem to salavate over her pictures. Ugh. Even at that, she's prettier than Keith Olberman.
You know, that's one of the things I can't help but admire about the President. I might not agree with him on "all things," but he is consistant and doesn't seem to change his mind if the polls have changed. He just does what he thinks, and believes in his heart, is best--opinions be d*mned. I think that shows a great deal of honesty, not to mention courage.
It had to be said.
If YOU could twist his arm, it would be twisted. It ain't.
You didn't successfully refute any of my points and resorted to the Bushbot line.
That shows you are out of facts.
I doubt there ever was a President with whom I agreed on every last thing. I know I had some "bones to pick" even with Reagan, yet I consider him one of our greatest. I disagree with President Bush (strongly) about his immigration policies, but spitting on his office because that, while almost every other thing he's done has been simply magnificent--well, wouldn't that be throwing out the baby with the bathwater?
Doesn't mean I won't gripe about the "i" word, though.
The MSM always pulls the "Yea but (insert something negative)" to try to trash any positive story, and we call that for what it is, so why is it ok when one of us do it?

So true. I saved the front page of our local rag of a few weeks ago, because it had a 2-inch high BUT in the front page headline.
I firmly believe that the Dems are congenitally unable to report impartially on a positive-for-conservatives story. They do not even notice the "but" that they throw in to every sentence.
A lot of aggrieved posters here are doing the same thing with Bush+immigration "issues".
