Who said I'm being sarcastic? I'm serious about this. I am really sick & tired of people coming here or are born here & then continuing to bad mouth & bash & trying to destroy this great country from the inside. Being a citizen of this country should be a privelage, not a right.

"If that many people have enough money to go to D.C. to march, then they don't need reparations." BUMP

I don't think that's the case, particularly, but the people saying "go back to Africa" to people who've never been there makes about as much sense as the people wanting to get paid for work they never did.
Oooh! You play hardball, don't you? ;-)
You're correct. No doubt about it.

As for me, I'm an American. If they don't want to partake in this nation's blessings, then I would suggest that they should leave for their own mental health's sake. No need in going crazy over something you have control over, right?Amen!I appreciate your feeling that the semantics of the conservative argument needed to be corrected. It definitely helps to have a clear and seamless statement to promote ones view. But aside from my attempt to break the tension with a little levity I really think there's some practical merit in my idea. As a nation we should be ready to bear the costs of assisting those trapped here by circumstance to a better life. Somewhere else. And I think it would behoove us equally to require of immigrants that they have the means and plans to become productive American citizens. Bush's plan to assist immigrants is folly. If they're not ready to work for the level of existence they want to live at here then they don't want to be here badly enough.
The philosophy of "tax the rich to assist the poor" is antithetical to liberty. Reparations and immigrant assistance are part and parcel of that socialist philosophy. It ought to be "assistance to leave, fortitude to enter".

Gestapo tactics notwithstanding, your point here flies in the face of the Constitution. If you are born here, you are a citizen here.
I can't stand the America-haters either. But I won't act like I am applying for work in the SS.

Does this mean, if they get 10 or more to show up, they call it a
million?

Right!
Remember, supposedly a million of them were there for Farrahkan and his idiots, yet they did not even fill half the mall in front of Congress. This will be even less, but the Eva Braun (As Coultier likes to say and I like to repeat) will most likely say it was 2 million and that we ought to act as a nation to right the wrong of slavery.

Indeed a settlement should be made and get this business settled once and for all. A figure should be derived that would make those demanding reperations and the taxpayer who would bear this burden agree. Write the check, have the recipients endorse it, then have them immediately repay for all the costs of welfare, food stamps, housing, and education costs provided them over the years. Include in amounts due repayment for riots and all destruction death and mayhem caused by blacks over the years. Include court costs and incarceration costs of blacks convicted for all crimes including murders, rapes, and robberies committed by blacks. Include checks to victims and their families of black riots, murders, rapes, and robberies over the centuries.
Yepper, it is time we settled up once and for all to see who owes who here.
Of course whites get welfare and commit crimes. Of course whites should pay their own way too. Of course whites should repay their victims and the families of the victims of their crimes. But millions of whites aren't rallying to extort yet even more money from the taxpayer...blacks are. I say we settle up and bring an end the welfare state.

The theme of the rally is: "They owe us!" Oooh, great "theme". Nothing like p*****g everyone off just before you start asking them for cash.
I have a question about this, though: Exactly how long does reparations go on? I mean, does every black child that is ever born in this country get a very large check? Does this go on forever?

i LOVE your little soap box graphic .... way cool
To: kattracks
Fred Reed has said just about everything that needs to be said on reparations, at
http://www.fredoneverything.ne t
"You want reparations? Fine, so do I: How about paying me back for the cities of Detroit and Los Angeles that you burned down? Any idea how much a city costs?"

One of my great disappointments in life was that the first
Million-Man marchers didn't sack the White House. It was fun
seeing Bill remember he just happened to have an engagement out of town
that weekend, though.

I've heard blacks say that reparations wouldn't fix anything, but would be a good start. Back down a little, and they'll only come back for more. Reparations today, reparations tomorrow, reparations forever.LL: I have a question about this, though: Exactly how long does reparations go on?

Ok - If I'm a shakedown artist, which event do I attend: the Reparations Rally in DC or the NAACP flag boycott in S.C.?
Decisions, Decisions......

I meant "TY" not "TN" in the previous post. Apologies.
