Oh good finds my friend!
1.illegal immigration activists threaten violence, rioting
Surprised they have refrained so far...
2. Deputy may be in trouble for reporting illegals to U.S. Customs
WHY?! WHAT?! Remind me what country I live in...
3. [Illegal Aliens in stolen car]
I dare you to run a yahoo search on this!
4. Immigrants Demand
And who died and made them King?
developing
For 5 years now?! FIVE freakin years!
MeowRoarrrrrrrrrrrrrBite!
Ah shades of Clintonism, ala Los Alamos, Lincoln Bedroom and on and on...
I think it's time to ask Senators and Congressmen to see their Green Cards!
Earlier this year, the Bush administration was forced to scrap plans to allow a Dubai-based company to assume oversight at major U.S. harbors after critics in both major political parties voiced strong opposition.
Methinks a leftist wrote this article thinking it would help the pro-illegal position. Bush had plans to allow DubaiPortsWorld oversight? LOL Yeah, right.
I had no problem with the DPW deal. Congress is cracked. Or on crack. The world's most cutting edge terminal operator isn't fit to manage the operation from afar but it's too much to ask that employees on the docks have actual real identities and legal documentation!?! Oooooh Kay!
I know, Piper... astounding.
Hello? Homeland Security? Can you hear me now?
We are soon going to hear some explosive revelations re Turban Durbin.... stay tuned.
There's a thread, too. I pinged you.
Sometimes, the cosmic spotlight shines on a certain area and truth after truth comes out...
That is a good result of the uproar re DPW.
I was opposed to the deal, by the way. I did a LOT of research on it.
97% of Illegal Aliens Take Jobs That Americans Want and Need
Can't wait. After he dissed our troops with his Pol Pot comparisons I wrote him off as bottom-feeding traitor trash. Seems to be a lot of it these days.
The ports are full of criminals. I loved this line:
"The proposal would bar anyone who is on a terror watch list, entered the country illegally"....as if someone has a clue as to who is entering illegally.
I did too. But that's neither here nor there now.
That was nearly a year ago already, and I still become livid recalling his vile, slanderous utterance!!! He should at least have been censured by, if not expelled from, the United States Senate. He violated the oath of office and the other Senators followed suit by looking the other way....
He's a waste of oxygen, pus brain dirtbag slithering crawling oozing mutation.
I think you should drop the PC language. He doesn't deserve polite consideration.
Therefore, the appropriate comment cannot be made on the forum.

Of Mice and Minutemen
April 21st, 2006
Minutemen -- ready for battle in a minute's notice; enthusiastic, reliable, strong. Not too many nations can boast of such a term, such a legend, or such a reality. There are a few, but none so much as America, where the citizen-soldier is the embodiment of Independence and resolve.
There is a remarkable difference between a subject and a citizen, between one dependent upon one's government and one dependent upon no one.
Two recent examples:
On September 11th, 2001, thousands were killed while millions helplessly watched. But beyond the spectators, and among some survivors and some victims, were seen glorious acts of self-sacrifice and, thereby, the greatest act of love -- laying down one's life for a friend, in a moment when even a perfect stranger becomes that dear and worthy friend.
Many of these acts were seen only by God, who saw them all, but some were witnessed, and some have become the stuff of legends. Legends are good when they can be used to refresh and reinspire those who were far away from the original moment. Or who have forgotten. Legends can unify and point the visions of many into one focused direction.
One week from today, Americans will get an opportunity to, for a couple of hours, immerse themselves in the retelling of such a legend. On April 28th, in (thus far) 1700 theaters around the country, Paul Greengrass via Universal Pictures will present United 93, an (according to The Hollywood Reporter) "emphatic political document, a movie about defiance against tyranny and terrorism." A story from that horrific September day of collective and individual civilian, no-chance-to-survive-make-your-time defiance.
Everyday, men and women and, really, boys and girls, volunteer themselves to take up that mantle, to willingly don the uniform of that defiance, even at the risk of never seeing the fruit of that labor. As President George W. Bush has said, "We exercise power without conquest, and we sacrifice for the liberty of strangers."
But Minutemen do not only summon up that courage when the danger is foreign, sometimes the danger is more subtle, not flaring up in an instant but rather in a slow smoking that will burn brightly eventually nonetheless.
What is perhaps the cheekiest component of the Minuteman persona is the defiance towards the domestic danger, even if only cloaked in the banal banner of bureaucracy, and thus we arrive at the second example: Chris Simcox and his band of undocumented border patrollers, who have made a gesture of such true American spirit, one can really only stand up and cheer, or, at the very least, chuckle.
From yesterday's Associated Press: "Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox has a message for President Bush: Build new security fencing along the border with Mexico or private citizens will."
Regardless of how one feels about a fence, it's hard not to love the bravura. This is really the defining of the American attitude -- if something has to be done, and the government is blathering and dithering and doing meanwhile nothing, this does not in any way mean that it will not get done.
If more folks around the world took upon themselves this courage and determination, we'd have a lot less sacrificing to do on their behalf.
If illegal immigrants, instead of marching through the streets of America with demands, marched through their native streets with such passion, we might not need a fence.
If subjects of tyranny collectively realized that death was preferable to tacitly accepting barbarity, we'd need less uniforms.
And if the folks in charge find it easier to succumb to the mob than honor the law-abiding, they needn't be surprised when the law is taken back into the People's hands, from where it was taken. That ain't vigilantism, it's the American way.

Thanks, I checked out AnnaZ's thread. High five to a patriot.
Now, I must get some more Zzzzssss before Sunday dawns.
See you soon.
Too many Americans have no appreciation for the uniqueness of the USA or the meaning of being American. Why would they? If an illegal alien can sneak into the US and be treated as royalty, the original definition of American ceases to exist. What was once un-American is now American. -- Mark H. Rudov
Thank you, dear LaEnchi.
I'm saying "good night" too.
