"I completely agree that arasina is a fine freeper, and a friend. But her words were large and obvious, and were quoting someone who was lying.

I think she understood my point. I hope you do too."

Of course we both do.

However arasina would NOT have done so if she'd known it was a misquote. It was a frenetic thread afterall...

Thanks for your clarification, OWF.

With Hillary riding the Dim donkey, is there any wonder?

I lived there from 1985 till last august.

[processing please hold]

Then what do you make of this? Apparently A few of us on here interpreted it as illegal immigrants, looks like some senators did as well.

Not really, considering how it has been overblown, he wouldn't be able to get anything significant through Congress(even if it tipped to slightly Dem), and he wouldn't even try.

To me a lot has to do with other issues relating to personal freedom. If someone cannot grasp something as simple as the 2nd Amendment, I have a very hard time trusting them with much more complex issues. I find that using the Bill of Rights, especially the 1st and 2nd Amendment to be a good "litmus test" due to the simplicity and ease of understanding. Does that make any sense?

ROTFLMAO!
Thank you for a great laugh!

...except you just know a good conservative would hit her and be blamed for it. It sure wouldn't be chalked up to being her fault.

[COEXERJ145]

Saying that legal immigrants are the same as illegal aliens just makes you look like a xenophobic fool and saying that President Bush said "illegal aliens" in his speech makes you just another Bush hating Liar.

I know she wouldn't have.

Thanks for standing up for her F16. I hope someday you might count me as a good enough friend to stand up for me that way.....

[ohioWfan]

Sorry. I don't take Tom Tancredo seriously.

John Kyl, I do, and he wanted more, but felt the President addressed the issue.

I think we ALL want more done about this exceptionally serious issue.

I'm just thankful that President Bush is at least addressing it. And he's the first President to do so. He takes on the tough ones. That's one of the things I admire most about him........willing to take flak from all sides while doing what he believes is best.

[F16Fighter]

Of course I'd back you up if you needed it....(as long as we're not debating the "immigration" issue ;-)

[ohioWfan]

LOL! I'll keep that in mind. :)

Jimmuh was an Engineering Officer aboard Nuclear Boats.

All I was saying is what was reported. Not that he built reactors or anything, just that he was around the stuff some. So a word that was probably a big part of his vocabulary, he couldn't pronounce. In 1976 a plurality of the Merken pipple voted for him despite the funny way he talked. But not me. I was just 18 and already knew no Democrat would ever get my vote (though I must admit I wasn't too thrilled about Ford either).

[Diddle E. Squat]

He's proved an ability to grasp complex issues through turning around New York City and also how he'd deal in an extreme crisis. Quite a long track record. Sure, he's been clearly wrong about some issues, but on the whole he's been quite good.

This was our president shaking hands with a Mongolian horseman during his trip to China and Mongolia ( shortly after having drunk some mares milk).

The Mongolians invaded Baghdad and trounced the Muslims centuries ago

There is also a myth that Gesar of Ling will lead the forces of enlightenment to trounce the Muslims again prior to a period of unprecedented world peace. The myth is associated with the Kalachakra Tantra and is part of the popular culture of Mongolia and other Himalayan cultures. I saved the press photo because of the meaning it had to many of these Asian peoples.

Thought you might like it. Its really a pic of two cowboys. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/Candor7/1d717f58.jpg

As the great, great granddaughter of Hungarian immigrants, the granddaughter-in-law of Polish immigrants, and the mother-in-law of America's newest citizen...ALL legal immigrants, I not only take great umbrage with your insulting, blind, revolting post, I can only assume that you are an anachronistic member of the KNOW NOTHINGS. My family has, for generations, aided America's economy and fought for her, in wars.

Give you a break? What body part would you like me to break?

Instead of believing that legal immigration has stopped, that the ONLY people coming to live/work in America are illegals, and/or that NO legal immigrants make any positive additions to America and its economy, I would recommend that you remove your head from that dark, dank body cavity and take a look at reality. And it would also stand you in good stead, to stop imagining that you can read the president's mind!

Read between the lines? Heck, you can't even read and comprehend the lines; nor understand them when spoken. LOL

[nopardons]

That's right, stand by your own posted idiocies. We'll all laugh at you and them; Miss Cleo.

[nopardons]

AMEN and in spades!

[kajingawd]

now now...there there...

ALL Americans are immigrants...you really think Bush was talking about Hungarians, Slovakians, and Estonians?...no, he was talking about illegal immigrants.

you can be insulted if you want, that's your choice...but i wasn't insulting anyone in here, all i was doing is pointing out the fact that Bush was PANDERING TO ILLEGAL ALIENS and SYMPATHISERS
