Unfortunately it's not only been tolerated, in my opinion it's been encouraged. Now that's just my opinion mind you, I don't have any facts to back it up.
But when I see people get banned for being far less vitriolic to others than some of these bozos have been and absolutely NOTHING happens to them, then there's some kind of a wink and a nod agreement going on in the background.
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S. Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone interview that the membership of the working groups, as well as their work products, have not been published anywhere, including on the Internet. Why the secrecy?
"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public," said Word.
She suggested to WND that the work products of the working groups was described on the SPP website, so publishing the actual documents did not seem required.
Ya know..the more I think about it the more I like the sound of President Tancredo.
He may be a bit of a demagogue...but hey..at least he's my kind of demagogue.
A Union I can finally love. This is from Polipundit from this AM:
Union Local 2544 U.S. Border Patrol
I have a question. Who can best comment on securing the border?
College Professors? Politicians in Washington? How about the members of the largest Union Local representing actual Border Patrol Agents?
Union Local 2544, represents Border Patrol agents and non-supervisory employees in the Tucson Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, covering most of the state of Arizona. They are the largest local in the Border Patrol. Local 2544 Officers are all Border Patrol agents.
These are the men and women that toil in 100 degree summer heat. These are the men and women that risk their lives every day not knowing what they will encounter. They are the ones that have to live with the deals made in air conditioned offices within the beltway. They are serving on the front lines and have some very strong opinions. They have gpaidh for the right to speak out and deserve to be heard.
Here are the opinions of these brave agents, in their own words;
We fully support legal immigration, but we stand firmly against illegal immigration. We strongly oppose any attempts to reward illegal alien lawbreakers. We have risked our lives to keep them out of this country. The slick politicians can call it gguest-workerh or gearned legalizationh all they want, but itfs amnesty. Some of these politicians have missed their true calling. They need to be working down at the County Fair selling tickets to innocent children to try and shoot a 14 basketball through a 12 hoop so they can win the big stuffed animal.
Local 2544 has not been consulted in any way, shape, or form regarding the deployment of National Guard troops in this Sector. This is being posted in response to multiple questions about our involvement in this process. In a nutshell, there is no involvement. We were told we would be consulted. We werenft.
What gGuest Workerh and gEarned Legalizationh Really Mean - Donft those terms sound warm and fuzzy? Wellccin addition to the facts contained in the blog linked here regarding the administration of IRCA 1986, frontline Border Patrol agents were ordered to immediately release any illegal alien who made an amnesty claim, no questions asked, even though we were routinely uncovering massive fraud with simple field interrogation techniques. The illegal aliens we questioned before this order came down were mostly lying, and we were catching them in lies one right after another. Many had just entered the United States, but falsely claimed they had entered years before so they could gqualifyh for amnesty. One large group was tracked down and apprehended on the Tohono OfOdham Indian reservation about 10 miles from the border (in the middle of nowhere - therefs nothing out there, no roads, and no legitimate/lawful reason for illegal aliens to be there). Two of them had freshly minted gamnestyh cards. When questioned about the glast entryh they made into the U.S. from Mexico, the cardholders claimed they had entered years before and were just gvisitingh the rest of the group (approximately 100 total). Of course, their clams were ludicrous. (link for more)
Senator McCain Sells Us Out (again) - Senator McCain voted for the Amnesty Bill (S. 2611). Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file Border Patrol agents. He routinely ignores correspondence from Border Patrol agents and often gives the impression that he is just too big and too important to deal with us. He attempts to undermine our mission at every turn and actively supports the criminals who violate our laws. He always trys to downplay the fact that illegal aliens knowingly and willingly violate our laws, and he is a close ally on immigration matters with Senator Ted Kennedy, who we believe is the biggest disgrace of all time in the United States Senate.
Every day that President Bush and the Senate hold real border security hostage to their misguided amnesty program, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. Make no mistake, most of them get by us. We are losing this war, and itfs not even close. Contact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called gguest-worker").
The Border Patrol has earned our support and ask for us to do one simple task, gContact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called gguest-worker").h If you support the men and women who risk their lives defending the border you know what to do.

So,who will be the new leader of Amerimexicanada? A Mexican presidente, a Canadian Prime Minister?
There's a few people calling for GWB to be impeached for treason. I thought you might want to start foaming at the mouth again...so have at it!
LOL
Rockefeller Republicans. There's not a Conservative bone in their bodies.
There is no individual including a President that stands above the Constitution.
Right up there with the Department of Homeland Security in the New World Order. Bush is a sneak. The new world order has an Aristocracy of the Rich in charge.
I have never read so much bull s**t in all my life. Tin Hats abound! The sky is falling.
Sheee
Amexicanada
I agree....I just pinged the other nutter for entertainment purposes.
Hmmmm....SAAAtan??
Abortiona
I don't know who the leader will be, but I do know where the money will come from--that would be the American taxpayers.
I saw this earlier, and decided to go back to bed. You know, nothing surprises me anymore, so I'll take this seriously. I like Tancredo, and if he runs for President, I will vote for him. It seems like he's the last sane voice in the wilderness.
