All we are saying is that Bush does not want to do "what is right for America."
And yes, it is scary."
You know...that is profound.
And, worth repeating!
Thank you!
I wish I were so articulate.
We impeached the Commander-in-Chief during a war. I guess you found that sad too.
“Our brave troops under the command and leadership of President Bush have been doing this for many years now, in the heart of the Middle East, in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere.
God bless President Bush and our brave troops.”
God bless our troops. One might argue that we need them to protect and secure our borders from illegal immigration. But sadly, we haven’t them since they are busy protecting Iraqis from other Iraqis and other muslims. Correct me if I am wrong.
The war on terror has been stalemated in Iraq. We removed Saddam, our original mission was accomplished. Either advance the war on terror against Iran and Syria (both are major players in world wide terrorism,) or bring them home to defend our borders and help us round up all the illegals which includes untold thousands of muslim terrorists.
What will happen if we leave before we achieve victory?
The terrorists whether they are Al Qaeda or the Iranian and Syrian terrorist regimes or a combination of all of them will not only control Iraq but the whole Middle East and with it come consequences to the US and the West that is worst than our most horrible nightmares. The islamic terrorists will be emboldened beyond imagination. The islamic terrorists will use the hundred of billions of dollars from oil revenues to conduct terrorists attacks that are hundreds of folds more horrible, more deadly, and more destructive than the 9/11 terrorists attacks, including the use of nuclear weapons. They will also use the oil weapon to blackmail the Western and the world economy for many years to come.
If some terrorists dwelling in camps in Afghanistan with a limited budget and few volunteers were able to do 9/11 terrorist attacks, killed 3000 people and caused one trillion dollars in economic losses, imagine the incredible horrors that the terrorists can inflict on us if they control the whole Middle East and it vast revenues.
Any person who has a shred of patriotism and a basic common sense will realize that we simply cannot afford to leave Iraq before we defeat terrorism there.
I am not comfortable with all the attacks on him, either. I believe it is possible to disagree with President Bush without going off the deep end. I find it very distasteful the way democrats speak of Bush and the vitriolic hatred they direct at him and even more bothered when it comes from our side. It only emboldens our enemies! And I am talking about the liberal media and the democrats, not the terrorists.
We managed to turn Bush on the Harriet Meiers nomination through constant pressure and now he will be remembered as the president who appointed Alito and Roberts. He can be saved on this issue as well. All in all he has done a good job as president, but when he is wrong, I believe it is up to the people to let him know! After all, he is the president and not a king.
We are already fighting Iran and Syria, who do you think keeps supplying the terrorists and weaponry?
Because if the government is unable -- unwilling, actually -- to enforce the current laws now, it will be no different under the post-amnesty regime. Even if the bill passes, nothing will change in any fundamental way.
Why? Because when all these new Z-visa holders become "regularized," they are "out of the shadows." Employers will no longer be able to pay them sub-standard wages off the books. The minimum wage laws will apply to Z-visa workers.
The result? There are another 20 million illegals willing to come to this country to work for the same sub-standard wages the current crop of illegals are working for now. And the same employers who hire illegals now, will hire the new wave of illegals, for the same reason they do now -- they are the cheapest source of labor.
Amnesty will price the "regularized" illegals out of the market.
She and Specter also voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to kill border fence in 2006.
The Manager's Amendment (SA 4188), offered by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), to S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. The Manager's Amendment made many minor changes to S. 2611, none of have significant numeric impacts on the overall bill. However, the Manager's Amendment included
a provision that requires consultation with the government of Mexico concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the international border between the United States and Mexico. This would virtually guarantee that the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border would never be completed. The Manager's Amendment passed by a vote of 56 to 41. http://profiles.numbersusa.com/improfile.php3?DistSend=CA&VIPID=46
The saddest thing is that the Clinton administration actually did far more enforcement than Bush's. Look at the stats - enforcement actions of every type dropped to a fraction of previous activities with Bush.
Why should we believe more empty promises about enforcement? Show us first! More agents?? Why, so we can throw them in jail too for doing their jobs? Sorry. Both Bush and Kennedy have ZERO credibility about any enforcement. Teddy boy has a 100% record of being 100% wrong about every immigration bill he ever spoke about.
I recommend everyone REALLY take a hard look at: Immigration and Usurpation - Real reason why your Senator wants this immigration amnesty bill - written by a Mexican no less, who has a better grasp of our system than 99.9% of our politicians and citizenry
I like the way Peggy put it as well.
“What I came in time to believe is that the great shortcoming of this White House, the great thing it is missing, is simple wisdom.”
That’s got to leave a mark!

It has with me.
“If some terrorists dwelling in camps in Afghanistan with a limited budget and few volunteers were able to do 9/11 terrorist attacks,”
Well, that explains why they are looking at all of our investment banking transactions. We’re all on a limited budget. /s
There cannot be any true victory in Iraq. Any resemblance of victory will only be temporary in Iraq or anywhere else muslims have invaded legally and/or illegally ie America.
This is an all out battle til death do us part. Victory against muslim jihad cannot be achieved in any part of the world in the manner currently being exercised. And since there are billions of them, we need to discover a way to get their attention. Surely even you have the insight to surmise that the current approach to the threat of worldwide islamic jihad has failed us miserably?
You’re gonna need another arguement, and we’re gonna need a real solution islamic jihad.
Protecting our borders and removing illegals which happens to include illegal muslim immigrants is a start.
When you take the time to read the links I posted, if your questions are not answered then ask me again. I will let you know that the bill was negotiated in secret by a small group of pro open borders senators, la Raza and the Chamber of Commerce other than puppet Chertoff, there was no unbiased law enforcement input. Th Union representing the Border Patrrol was not asked for their input, (which they were asked in 1986)So the bill was not intended to enforce the laws but meet the needs of La Raza, Chamber of commerce and open border senators, not exactly a compromise bill. The loopholes are in the details.
Here is the bill for your edification:
sb 1348
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.1348:
“We are already fighting Iran and Syria, who do you think keeps supplying the terrorists and weaponry?”
Well, then we are not hitting them where it counts now are we?
Well they are not the last of a long line of enemies but all in God's time.
