You've beat yourself down with your empty rhetoric. You haven't made a single post of substance. Without your attacks and accusations you've got nothing.

So you will be happy that nothing is done about the borders?

I really want illegal immigration curbed. But the President says we need to give them a guest-worker amnesty. If I buck the party line, someone might call me an isolationist, bigot, racist, and xenophobe. What is a conservative to do?

Oh yes, I just remembered. Maybe we could work a deal with a Mexican state-owned enterprise and pretend that there is a compelling national interest to subsidize Mexico with American dollars. For the WOT.

Maybe I'd do better if you'd delineate exactly where I've failed to make a substantive argument, or what precisely the argument you've accused me of dodging entails.

Is your point that the UAE-which heretofore had been an invaluable ally, and unflappable supporter of the U.S. in the GWOT-will now evict the United States-whose Armed Forces are probably the chief reason that this consortium of pseudo-states is not currently a province of the IRI-from their territory?

Or are you carping about the fact that some people on this website still exhibit a form of patriotism that questions why we should have to scrape and grovel before a Muslim-Arab country the size of a postage stamp, which has been the center of money-laundering, fraudulent banking schemes, prostitution, slavery, and assorted criminal activity for several decades?

I'm just curious what our resident head-case-who would probably accuse Tailgunner Joe McCarthy of being a Commie-symp-finds deficient in my reasoning?

While the democratic tent is suppose to be a big tent party, maybe they will have room for you. The liberals need all the money loving, internationalists they can get . I bet Kerry was FOR the deal also.

I agree 100% The country club reps think that we red blooded Republicans can be scared off like the democratic sissies they are so used to fighting. Call a liberal a rascist and the PC crowd puts their heads down and mumbles an apology. But the average American could care less what you call us if we believe we are right. Argue the case on merits and we might listen to you but try to sell us a pig in a dress and call us stupid because we can see it's a pig in a dress and tell you its a pig in a dress is not a way to win positions with us. So come on bring on the immigration debate if not we will bring it on by way of our votes in Nov.

I am proud to associate with a good patriotic fighter. Very well stated!

Nah, why go to all that trouble just give them back Texas Arizona, New Mexico and California. Just think of the people in the Alamo. They fought for what again? But if that isn't good enough just think if we really want to keep wages down and depress our standard of living more why stop with Mexico, why not have the Chinese owned ports on the west coast be open and have 500 million Chinese come in then the companies could hire workers for $1 dollar a day. Geez wouldn't that be grand. scar off

Are you still at it? Is this all you can come up with? This is the best of your post and I think it's the best you can do.

"I just got back from Dubai. I go there regularly for biz. They are more pro American then most Americans.

You should prolly kinda know what your talking about before ranting."

Your opening your cakehole without any facts effectively epitomizes the ignorance of the pro-port sellout crowd.

I was stationed in the UAE for over a year--thank you. So I am well aware of what I say. By the way did you see those Russian aircraft on the tarmac? Do you know what they are for?

Where did you stay over there anyway? Most of the contractors stayed in a protected compound. That protected them from the enlightened Moslem locals.

Didn't like what I had to say--grow up. All you pro-port people. By the way thanks for not posting the rest of what I said.

Tell me, without a brainless insult one clear, logical, decisive reason why terrorists should be allowed to run our ports?

Prey tell what our allys have done for us in the War on Terror? How many brave emirates have died?

Explain the money laundering for terrorists.

Explain the substantiated sale of electronic devices that could be used in nukes.

I know I'll get a 'you're stupid' 'you are a tool', whatever. I said the poophead argument doesn't cut it. Nor does the smug repose of someone who assumed something that they didn't know.

I am a by-God Texan. No wall is going to get built in Texas. These federal nitwits can not even protect a barbed wire fence. If they build a wall on the Mexico side, fine with me. Mass deportation is not going to happen. I believe that employer sanctions would be a start. I also believe that compulsory registration of aliens that request services (healthcare, social services) would go a long way in identifying the scope of the problem, and developing a plan to deal with it. What say you?

Is that the one latin phrase you've learned?

Very impressive feat.

In my opinion, this whole thing is politics in an election year.

If this had happened in 2000, no problem.

Thanks for posting the helpful link.

Otherwise that article would have gone completely ignored, except by, ya know, the people who have already made 265 replies to that thread.

"Thanks for posting the helpful link

Did you READ the article? It's the one that calls Frank Lautenberg a Republican. LOLOL

But it's helpful if you ignore the truth!

Yes, hours ago.

I see that sarcasm is another form of humor that eludes your comprehension.
