It’s funny how suddenly there’s no separation of church and state. She supports abortion, then picks and chooses USCCB ideas about immigrant children to support her political views. She is nauseating.
Understood. I have enough humility to know I'm not among Free Republic's best and brightest. As a matter of fact, I always assume I may have it all wrong and thoughtfully accept correction. However, I don't hold conservative leaders, intelligentsia, figureheads, movers and shakers, etc. so lofty as to be above anyone's criticism. Obviously, I'm far more cynical than I am smart.
Cruz is a honorable man and his response to this crisis is exactly correct. Treat them with Christian Charity while they are here, but deport as quickly as possible.
I'm sure he is. However, I interpret from the earlier quote he wanted his involvement in this to be high profile so to make the point. I am all for Christian Charity to those less blessed in this life. My problem in this specific case is how it's being done. It shouldn't be a media event. Anyone with access to print or electronic media sees us feeding, housing and generally caring for the invaders. The message getting out is our Southern border is open and we are caring for those who come and will be cared and accepted in. The only dissuading message getting out to this invasion are the reports of protests at receiving facilities or citizen groups patrolling stretches of border.
In my opinion, as erroneous as it may seem, Cruz is unintentionally aiding in this the message of open boarders despite his rhetoric. I have to wonder if the regime isn't laughing at Cruz and Beck for their part in this. Furthermore, you should know as well as I no one is going back. Both the Republicans and the Democrats will never do such a thing.
I understand your position on this. But, as you said, we disagree.
I feel for these kids - I really do but having their parents dump them here in the US is not going to fix all their problems. There are people all over the world who want to come to the US - we simply cannot take them all in. They are going to have to fix their own countries. They see what we have here and they want it so they just take it. The kids in many African countries have it far worse - we can't fix everyone's problems.
Even if we began deportation hearings today, which we are not going to do, and secured the border right now, which we are not going to do, there is no way, by law and by simple logistics, that all of these illegals will be out of here by tomorrow.
We should do those things, but they still leave us with a lot of people in our care for some period of time, some of whom are children.
Gov. Palin is right that we don’t want the government caring for them — but someone has to, and if we don’t want our tax dollars going for this, that means churches and private charities have to do the job for whatever time these children are here. And they can do it more efficiently, too.
So if you don’t want them on the public rolls, then you ought to support Beck and others in their private activities to take care of the kids while they’re here — while working to support all measures to get them home ASAP and stem the flow of new people into our country illegally.
Glenn has talked about why he left Fox. it was to start The Blaze, after Fox tried to tone down what he was saying about Islamofascism. (Prince Bandar is the #2 stockholder in NewsCorp.) When they tried to control what he had to say about what is probably the single most important issue of our time, he left.
My mother always warned me never to feed stray animals because you’ll never get rid of them afterwards.
Cruz is exactly right. They are victims of Obama and the Democrats. He also said that Obama and Reid are holding them hostage, which is exactly on target.
Exactly. This is what Cruz and Beck are saying, but somehow some people are determined to make it something else.
Beck has been attacking conservatives, how do you think conservatives are going to respond?
Attacking conservatives? When and where? I’ve been listening and I have literally never heard that.
Now, Dr. Savage, whom I also like, has done it and gotten away with it.
“Palin doesn’t seem to have much empathy for the children”
Sarah Palin is a patriot standing up for America and law and order.
In Anglo-American law—which shows a lot more compassion for illegals than Aztec `heart surgeons’—children as young as 5 years old have been found culpable for forming the requisite intent for an act to be considered criminal.
Unless these are toddlers, they know what they’re doing. And due to the HHS `black-out’ on photos, all the pictures I’ve seen show mostly guys and some women invaders in their 20s and 30s.
Glenn Beck can take his Pelosi-like concern—”It’s for the children!”— and stick it where the Sun don’t shine.
He’s morphing into Chris Matthews.
“Rick needs to learn how to use a search engine.”
And he needs to stop writing about her; I think he used her name 18 times in the excerpt alone!
On his Friday radio show, Glenn Beck suggested those who do not want to pass out soccer balls and teddy bears to illegal immigrant children at detention centers with him are "pusses."
....<> Talk radio host Glenn Beck defended his decision to bring meals, soccer balls, and teddy bears to illegal immigrants detained on the southern border during his radio show on Wednesday.
Beck said “conservatives only look like they just want judgment, and the liberals only look at it as mercy. You cannot you cannot have a rule of law if it is nothing but mercy you cannot have justice without mercy.”
This is true of some on both sides, and that is what he said. Furthermore, true or not, this is the image portrayed by the media and others. What Glenn is saying is that we must have justice and mercy.
Yeah, sure——guranteed if Beck had his druthers he’d prefer to be on Fox in front of an audience getting paid bigtime——rather than paying out to get The Blaze (the what?) noticed.
I don’t want to play the theologian but Jesus, at His birth, was given gold, myrrh and frankincense — three very precious commodities.
His family was not destitute.
Burt Lancaster was pretty good, wasn’t he?
You got that right.
Then when up is as slow to respond as a libtard`s thinking?
Then uses way too many pop ups with ads "conveniently" situated behind the "X outs" so if you`re not careful, you end up giving the creep owner more ad money hits?
Interesting, Bishop Romney claimed that he and his father BOTH marched with MLK, and neither one did.
"Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: “My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”"
