I'm too lazy at the moment to go through 800+ replies, but last night one of them addressed me as "CHEIF". Now he and I know what he meant, but some probably missed it. His slur was to me for being of American Indian Heritage and that is the same as calling a black man...well, you know. They are the purest bigots I've yet to meet. They will sell you, me, the Mexicans, anyone for their wants and call it "free enterprise", just like slavery was called the same.

A quote:

Gompers, Samuel - (founder and pres. of AFL, an immigrant)

"America must not be overwhelmed. Every effort to enact immigration legislation must expect to meet a number of hostile forces and, in particular, two hostile forces of considerable strength. One of these is composed of corporation employers who desire to employ physical strength (broad backs) at the lowest possible wage and who prefer a rapidly revolving labor supply at low wages to a regular supply of American wage earners at fair wages. The other is composed of racial groups in the United States who oppose all restrictive legislation because they want the doors left open for an influx of their countrymen regardless of the menace to the people of their adopted country."
(Letter to Congress, March 19, 1924)

That is an excellent quote and very succinctly tells the truth about what is going on. Too bad that we have lost that honesty and realism of 1924 and replaced it with a form of voodoo reality shored up by the modern day PC drones.
