Thanks - I can't believe how nuts some otherwise astute folks get over an issue. They let it eat at them instead of dealing rationally.
At least it's been 20 minutes or so and none have further flamed or called me bad names - perhaps they'll actually try to visualize the logistics of what they want.
I'm not for amnesty, but I don't see how we can get around letting a few million off the hook. Maybe I'll get some plans from the others that don't involve armed gangs "purifying" the place...
At any rate, you are correct, we need to clarify a good policy/strategy, then actually carry it out. I attended a war planners course a few years back and policy/strategy drive everything or you get the chaos that Obama's administration has given us.
Rational thinking.
In addition to his powerful intellect, Newt has a problem with candor.
If he was a calculating phony - as some believe- he would never have made the boo-boos that are repeated ad nauseum on FR. It seems to me he has ventured into unfamiliar territory - such as Global Warming - and listened to ‘experts’ who really did have an agenda.
Many of us have been ‘taken in’ by advocates - simply because we are generally trusting and sincere. Judging others as we judge ourselves.
Have wiped many omelettes of my face....felt foolish - even though I consider myself semi-intelligent.
