I never said that McVeigh wasn`t evil, I just find it interesting that when people mention home grown terrorists they insist on the rightwingers and give a pass to all those sixties lefties or the present day anarchist, watermellon, animal rights groups. I also never said that all Iraqis are terrorists, just enough of them, and their neighbors, to make this idea suicidal. As far as I`m concerned anyone is welcome to come to America if they truly desire freedom but after 9/11, don`t tell me I`m being xenophobic if I insist THEY prove they are not going to try to cut our throats.BTW, I think we can do a credible job of securing our borders if we really set our minds and efforts to it.

I accept that Marxist, leftist philosophies are going to generate terrorists as readily as do the Islamicists. However, it grieves me deeply when someone raised to be a conservative, Christian person can turn that way, and I think it's one heck of a cautionary note.

For some reason our current President is unwilling to do the hard job of securing our borders. I don't mean closing our borders--I mean securing them. For example, we need to provide a legitimate, controlled way of allowing laborers to come and go as they are now, with more safety for all concerned and real accountability for those who hire and house them. Not one person should be dying of thirst in the desert, raped by smugglers, left to wander the country uncontrolled, looking for work that might or might not be there. The current situation is unacceptable in so many ways, but we have let the Democrats set it up as if it's an issue of racism against Hispanics...it's not, but the President has let them get away with that. I agree with you that we could fix that.

That has nothing to do with the concept of giving Iraq statehood...we have 2 million Americans in prison right now, so by your argument, all US States should be removed from the Union, since we have non-law-abiding citizens in substantial numbers in our midst.
