Yes, and that will be how (and where) it begins, first in one city, then another, and another and another until it spreads across the whole country. Townships will baracade the roads to prevent scum from entering their towns and looting, the government will begin to mobilise for Martial law. Things will go the hell in a matter of days. Rioters will bring down powergrids, and in a few days food will become a concern for everyone. In a place like California with 35 million people, food will run out VERY fast, and no more will be coming in. It will be a bloodbath. THEN you will see Mexicans running like hell back across the border, where fox will probably be gunning them down.
Your earlier Bush bash illus. prop. is from a site that also says no 757 went into the Pentagon.
Also plenty of "NeoCon bashing. This tells me plenty about where you come from.
Fox isn't going to be in power for much longer, the PRI is set to win the next election. Fox is very unpopular in Mexico.
Yep. Proposition 187 was passed by California voters on Nov. 8, 1994, while Clintoon was Prez. Perhaps the historical revisionists missed that one.
Could you possibly be any lamer?
Hi! Me again.
I got to thinking about your post, then mine to you...
While I agree with your statements about Reagan and Clinton...what we all need to realize...is that was then. This is now.
The person in charge now, who we elected...was supposed to be a conservative. I believe he IS in many MANY ways. I'm MORE THAN HAPPY, that with 911, he was President. Kerry would STILL be under the table sucking his thumb in fear...
BUT! Those in charge NOW, are the ones who MUST take care of the problem. They must NOT sell our country out...they just must not.
That might damage the loot they'll be carrying.
I agree that the protests have mushroomed..but I don't know that the amount of illegals crossing the borders has mushroomed...I can't imagine that the borders were more monitored during Clinton..
I do agree that our attention was on other things...but does that justify why President Bush is the great SATAN to some people???
Had the INS and Border Control (with the laws we already have) had been kept up during the last few years of Reagan's presidency, and Clinton's ...then we wouldn't have 20 million people to deport.
For us to let Hillary to invoke JESUS in order to make Bush and the Republicans to feel GUILTY about this...should make MORE people on this forum mad at Hillary, but I get the impression that it is not so...
That Bush is the anti-Christ of immigration...and I think it is not only unfair..but dangerous...if they use this vitriol in November...after all..BUSH IS NOT RUNNING AGAIN..
So, if this is all about Bush hate...then I hope people here will not put our country more in danger over an election that doesn't even have BUSH as a candidate.
Okay...how in the heck has Bush been a sellout to REAGAN on immigration?
Sorry if I hit a nerve.
If you get your info from a site that say no plane went into the Pentagon, you have more than a problem.
Your attempts to smear Reagan were made to defend the Bush sellout to Fox.
What hit?
I won't hold my breath however. Sooner or later, the shiite going to hit the fan, one way or another. If it comes to having to defend life and property, then I just hope everyone is prepared. Those that are entering this country illegaly, or even legaly with the purpose of destroying it aren't afraid to take what ever they can of yours, including your life. If things fall apart, God help us all.
So..are there going to be 3 protests at Crawford?
I know that Cindy Sheehan is supposed to do down at Easter...
Then there will be the illegals...and now the anti-Bush, anti-illegals...
WOW..should be a hoot!
Hey, maybe you and she could protest for illegal alien rights together!
In Los Angeles it's a violation of police department regulations to even report illegal aliens to the INS. Not that the INS would followup on any such reports.
I can't answer for other people, sleuth...
For us to let Hillary to invoke JESUS in order to make Bush and the Republicans to feel GUILTY about this...
I'll get to that next week. This weekend...was this. GOD, however, will get to the witch when He sees fit...and it'll be far worse than some yahoo (me) on a forum can do to her!
For me? This hasn't been Bush "hate"....it's been the reality of where I live. The state I love. The culture that is being flushed down the toilet. The President I voted for twice, in my eyes, selling MY country out to a foreign country. And quite frankly, THAT scares me more than you'll know.
MY decision this November...I don't know yet what I'll do. I will NEVER pull that lever for straight republican ticket. Ever again. And it will be the first time in my life I haven't.
I'll also NEVER vote for a Dem. NO one, unless they're a Dem plant on this forum, thinks that the Dems will do any better on this. HOWEVER, have the Republicans helped us out here at all?
Look at McCain, and the mess he's created. Yes. HE started the mess. Who signed it?
I'm in quite a quandry here, aren't I?
What has hit me like a ton of bricks this week...is this...I, Brad's Gramma, am more dedicated to the Republic than the Republican party.
Oh...I totally agree that they must NOT sell out our country....and I am on you side..
In fact, I would be down at the border right now...building a fence or being a Minutewoman, if I could.
I am just sick of people who aren't honest about their reasons for border control..
MY reason....I don't want diseases that the USA has not had to deal with in a generation...suddenly showing up in the hospitals on the border...
I don't like having to pay more for services and products because they have to have Spanish and English included.
I don't like there is a lot of crime in my area from the Drug gangs from Mexico...
I don't like seeing paper towels in the grocery store needing a spanish sub-title...duh!
I don't like that the TV programs that my 1 year old and 6 year old granddaughters watch seem to have Spanish forced into the cartoons....and Mexican characters in every program it seems...I RESENT THE HELL OUT OF THAT..
I am an AMERICAN, my children and grandchildren are AMERICANS...and we speak English...I do NOT want a foreign culture rammed down our throats.
Okay...that is HONEST...
But, in my mind right now....I hate that....but, I hate the idea of my granddaughters having to wear a burqa someday as well.
SOOO...when I see all of the HATE on this forum for Bush because of the border problem...and the complaints are about a lot of stuff other than the possibility of terrorists coming in over the border...
I wonder what the posters really are protesting...and what they fear the most.
I HATE the Mexicanization of America....and I will gladly fight it...but, I FEAR the ISLAMASIZATION of American more.
And if Bush is willing to fight to keep that part of the world OFF our land..and fight it over in the Middle East...
then please pardon me if I am not going to throw the one POTUS that HAS taken on the ISLAMOFASCISTS just to make me happier about the Mexicanization of America.
I don't know if this makes sense..I am tired...and it is late...but, we are at WAR people..and if we aren't careful...while we are busy filling up buses with Mexicans and South Americans....our norther border, and airports will be sneaking in people that don't mind killing themselves in order to take out a school.
I am not saying we have to do one OR the other...but lets not forget who actually attacked us on 9/11, and remember that President Bush is the FIRST POTUS that has taken it to them after an attack...and we have been attacked since at least 79 amd 84.
