That a serious case of emtoional projection you got going there. Maybe if you tried acting like an adult instead of simply screaming bile at eveyone who does not agree 100% with your emotion baseddogmas, people would take you seriously Critics of the bill, such as yourself, have simply screamed bile at everyone who dared have an opposing view point. If the Antis don't like the way people talk to them they should take a look at what they shovel out day in and day out. Preaching to the choir may make the 'Net warrior feel all macho, it will not get any of their political agenda enacted into law. But that right. For the Reactionarines, it more about finding the next thing they can whine at their own side about. God forbid they should even try growing a spine and fight the Left on anything.
Al Qaeda Adapts
Of course, that why the ..... ..... ..... are called the enemy.
Except for the fact that all conseravatives would have to spend it on adds and liberals/dems would get all the free advertising on all the talk shows.
Doesn't it seem as though they should be related?
Thanks for the company and support - see you all next week if we don't meet before.
Hm. George Orwell's Animal Farm in 2007. Would Andrea Mitchell make it as a pig? LOL
You left out the picture of an angry Mr. Andrea Mitchell, yelling at the television set whenever they talk about the Fed.
LOL
Oh but why not? Can you imagine the disastrous home improvements projects with that kind of pretzel logic?
Reading is optional. Wouldn’t it be more effective to send diagrams drawn in crayon?
Thanks, kabar. The current Congress is so “selectively unfocused,” preferring to investigate the demise of 70,000 salmon, but ignore X million (do we REALLY know how many there are?) immigrants who entered our country illegally.
Our neighbors to the North are celebrating a holiday.

Here is the problem as I see it.
It's not so much that we as FR conservatives are totally unwilling to compromise, we do that on plenty of issues from every thing in the budget, to which candidate we will back when the time comes. Compromise is a very necessary part of politics, but sooner or later you reach a point where the issue you are asked to compromise is just so basic it should not or cannot be compromised.
We reached that point last week. And there were lots of us who said ENOUGH. Is there any function of govt more basic than to provide border security, nothing much I can thin of. Many think that it is a basic function of govt. and can only be compromised or toyed with just so much.And that has been exceeded in the minds of many men.
When bills designed to secure the border,such as the near 800 miles of fencing authorized last year are totally ignored as well as other basic security laws of the country,it's time to put your foot down!! We did, few here regret standing up for what should be basic law, securing one's border.
The fact that we do not have an instant solution in a nation of instant solutions for the 40 million illegals here right now or have not been able to persuade congress to take care of that issue is not something we will ignore here on this site. I am sure you know that by now and undoubtedly some compromises will be made.
But it is indeed too much to ask for compromise on our border. Our border defines the beginnings and end of our country's boundaries. Without boundaries we have no country. It is only fitting that we secure it as necessary.
Hey, Johnnie, let’s cut to the chase and discuss substance. What part(s) of the proposed Senate bill do you DISAGREE with?
Before I'd agree or disagree I'd have to see the speech as written and then as delivered. This campaign will be anything if not long (it already is). Many, many people will try to sway us one way or the other. For me, the issue will be does the candidate support most of the issues I do? Note that I didn't say ALL; that's never going to happen.
One thing I do know and I can state right now--I'll never vote for a democrat, and I'll not waste my vote and let a democrat sneak in without a majority like my support for Perot let Clinton.
Dr Wheeler says "He (Thompson) ain't it, folks." All I can say then is who is? Reagan was a unique gift to America. We need to concentrate on getting us a candidate who can win, which means stopping Hillary Clinton or whatever comes out of Denver next year.
I don't see how you can say that, given that it's only been 4 days!
I'll agree with you in this sense; it would be a terrible mistake if we simply "went back to sleep". I don't see that happening. I do think that we can no longer look the other way when it comes to illegal aliens and that a lot of folks have woken up. I do think far too many Americans, even ones on the political Right, have benefited by the cheap labor of the illegals working in this country. I'll even go so far as to say I agree with some on the Left who say the illegal worker (well, they'd say undocument migrant or something!) is getting screwed by the employer.
For the good of our country, Johnnie, which I know you're very much in favor of, I think we need to stop the Social Security number theft, the drain on our hospital's emergency rooms, and the burden on our school system's unfunded education mandate. These things are very real, and a huge problems in many areas, perhaps though not where you live.
As I've stated before, I'm not opposed to a guest worker program that properly screens all foreign workers in the US to keep out the criminal and terrorist element while ensuring that the workers will pay taxes and the employers won't be able to take advantage of their help anymore than we'd want to get taken by our employers.
Before any of this happens, though, we've really got to get a handle on the border and stop such a huge flood of humanity from crossing it without any control. The terroristic threat alone should be enough to keep patriots awake at night.
