That's one heck of a description of the "sides"...!! Yikes..!!

I don't know of anyone who truly advocates "shootin'em as they cross".

Do you really think that's how the "sides" shape up?

That being said, I disagree with Hatch if he wants to give a blanket amnesty. I think he is wrong. But being wrong on an issue is not enough for me to label someone as an enemy. Too many on this site view even a variance of one vote enough to forever label them a traitor to this or that cause. =====================================================

Fair enough. And I agree to your point. But in totality, Mr. Orrin Hatch has "turned over" enough for my taste. I don't think him a "traitor" though. But if I lived in Utah....I'd work to see him defeated. He comes across too often...as all bark, no bite.

For example, being friends with a Liberal for many here is enough to disqualify you for any position. I think that is wrong as well. Doesn't make me wish they would get banned though."

I've co-worker's, & family that are liberal. Some are Marxist's even....I'm friendly with them....but I'm not "friends" with them. We don't pal around together...

I don't think that should disqualify them or me...from any "positions". But I darn well bet you...that my being a Conservative & a Christian....will ABSOLUTELY..get me disqualified from "positions" in "their" world.

FWIW-

Yeah, I think if you read some of the threads about immigration here you will see that there is a fringe portion of people who would shoot to kill anyone illegally entering the country. Scary but true.

I'm all for immigration, it keeps us fresh with new hungry blood. But I'm also for the "American Melting Pot" as opposed to the "American Stew". I believe in diversity within a culture, not diversity of cultures. So I am for legal immigration, against illegal immigration, and am opposed to the extremists on both sides.
