Sorry - the worst loss due to a natural disaster. Stalin, Hitler and Mao still hold the record.

The child is a citizen

Ummm...who says? It's never been adjudicated, nor has Congress weighed in on it (too sensitive, ya know).

Everyone just tiptoes around the issue. Just one more itty-bitty to solve.

"Now I'm convinced our leader is a globalist"

What took you so long!

Compasonate Conservative is just a fancy way of saying Socialist!

He was born and raised in a family that has been against the US as a soverign nation since before the Revolution.

He didn't tip his hand until this happened. Now that the cat's out of the bag what's next? Four years is a lot of time.

That's a bit far-fetched isn't it? I'd call him misguided, but not an active member of a multi-generational conspiracy. That's the sort of thing Michael Moore would suggest.

He knows that Anglo-Saxon America will soon be a thing of the past. He's a political realist. Always has been, always will be. That's all this is about. One can no longer stand up to the illegal immigrant lobby without losing huge amounts of political capital.

The planet's deadliest earthquake of the century, by far, was a magnitude 8.0 that struck Tianjin (formerly Tangshan), China, on July 27, 1976. The official casualty figure issued by the Chinese government was 255,000, but unofficial estimates of the death toll were as high as 655,000.

Massive flooding of the Yangtze River in China in 1931 caused more than 3 million deaths from flooding and starvation.

I was thinking pandemics. The plague wiped out 1/3 of China and 1/2 of Europe. AIDS is slower but just as deadly. Flu killed 500,000 in the USA in 1918.

"and hear ya CLERARLY"

Happy New Yera to you, too. Those darned keyboards...

Just pointing out that without a sense of humor we're all done for. Liberals/Communists are notorious for lacking that, so we have a tactical advantage there while having some fun at there expense. I hope the new year treats you well.

Not at all! His family escaped to Canada durring the Revolution and fought for us to stay part of England and that family has pushed the UN and SR. was in the State Dept. and no one that has any use for the US as a soverign nation has ever been in a high position in the State Dept. or ever will be.

LOL! Happy New Year to you as well. That said, I haven't even read the article yet...Remember I live in IL where we had Oberweis running on immigration policy. The RINOS and the MSM killed that right quick!

Do you have some online references to support that assertion? It sounds intriguing.

...that family has pushed the UN and SR. was in the State Dept.

That's harsh. The 20th century will forever be known as the century of good intentions. I forgive those intentions where they were just.

I believe the constitution says ANYBODY born in the country IS a citizen.

Thus, it hasn't been subject to judicial decision, I would think.

Of course it is politically sensitive.

Correct. It would be wise if we protected our borders, because anchor babies (at least their own citizenship) is constitutional. We could put them up for adoption and deport the parents, but that would produce howls of pain in the media.

The right thing to do is guard against uninvited guests at our ports, borders, and via immigration documentation forgeries.

If we didn't have Republicans, Democrats, big business, small business, and land owners all fighting against it we could actuall do something about this problem.

Thanks for those figures on the higher mortality rates due to natural disasters that I wasn't aware of. Unlike some other posters I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong in the interest of truth when unaware of all the facts. I sure don't lack for people hesitating to call me on anything they disagree with concerning historical facts, though I'd like it more if they were more motivated toward education than one-upsmanhipness.

Today's youth need the truth relayed to them more than preceeding generations because the liberal-dominated educational system (old anarchist hippies) does it's best to imprint socialist values on their impressionable minds at a time when they're most succeptable to it.

It's an ongoing conspiracy by the tenured radicals to turn the weaker-willed scions of privledged families into pawns of the Communist/Socialist agenda. I believe that these relic's (the old hippies) notions are archaic, negative and stultifying and need to be relegated to footnote status while our student's energies would be better directed toward more realistic solutions.

Humanity is a speck compared to nature. The tsunami death toll is staggering in its own right. Glad NASA scientists downplayed the asteroid that seemed to be headed for Earth. We aren't out of the woods yet...terrorists want Americans dead.

One-upsmanSHIP. That's cool...it wouldn't be an NRT post without an easy-to-laugh-at mistake. I welcome such...mistakes teach me humility while pointing out where I'm deficiant. Be scared of the posters who think they're just a rung under God. I know I am.

Ha! Meant that I'm deficient, not a rung under God. Time to stop and hope for dream-minumum sleep.

"There are some people -- there are some jobs in America that Americans won't do and others are willing to do."

But those same Americans that can be bashed can be sent to Iraq to die for the freedom of other people. Americans are too lazy to work apparently --- but they'll do the dying others won't do.
