  • French Riviera Gang Terrorises Passengers In Two-Hour Train Rampage (Yutes)

    Jim Thornley to D.P.Roberts

    So why didn't the French "men" on the train protect their women? Were they waiting for the US to come save them? Again?

    A very significant question. I hope people will address it seriously.

    Absolutely!!!!!! The real war is being fought in the bedrooms of the world. It's probably a good thing that we have been alerted by OBL. They think that they can take over the world without firing a shot. They may be right.

    I like a lot of the ideas presented here, but most, if not all, of you are forgetting the first step in the process, and are going directly to the second step.
    The first step is getting the right leadership. That is where we have to start. Currently, the only game in town that addresses that is the one supported by Tom Tancredo.
    I recommend that we all get behind the Congressman and see if we can win some support for him. Please go to his website. And it is going to take money. A lot from each of a few people or a little from each of a lot of people. I like the latter. Jim

    I suspect that many of that 90% are upset with the murderers from their ranks who are spoiling the plan to win against non-muslims by means of the war going on in the bedrooms of our world, including the USA. I really feel that that is the war that is more threatening to us.
    I assume that you get the drift. Jim

    I'm from California, but I am supporting Robinson so that he can support the great Tom Tancredo. He speaks my language. I want Rove to see that he is not so damned smart on the issue of borders, language and culture. Go Vernon.

    I vaguely remember that, during the period when Americans were held prisoners in Iran,some Canadians in Iran stuck their necks out to help some Americans get out of Iran. I
    have always had a soft spot for our FRIENDS of the North.
    Maybe someone can help me out with some details.

    You are absolutely right. “The Sovreignty Party”,or some such, and the way to be effective is to pick one or two candidates for the US House of Representatives with strong immigration reform platforms. Preferrably they should be niether Republican or Democrat; so that support could be gathered from both of those parties.

    Another thing. Pick a district where the non-incumbent doesn’t have a ghost of a chance; so that his(her) supporters won’t be concerned about “wasting their votes”.

    We have such a candidate here in my district in Silicon Valley in California. The Republican candidate Joe Nixon) is running a non-compaign against Anna Eshoo who loves all immigration, legal or not.

    I am not going to bother supporting Nixon, but I would gladly support a candidate form anypart of the country , including my own, if that person showed a strong inclination to get control of our borders.

    This issue deserves a great deal of discussion. The only way that a change is going to take place is for a few status quo jerks to lose at the polls.JiM

    Thor wrote a book about his year long honeymoon on a very primitive island in the Pacific. She had to be some gal.

    The one line that I remember was that plagues are mankinds foxes. Relating to the fact that as the lemming population increased in the artic the foxes had larger litters.

  • America Disenfranchised: Non-citizens Vote

    The following is Nick Jessons statement in the Official Voter Information Guide for California voters:

    He is asking for the nomination of the Republicans to be there candidate for Governor.

    “After serving in the Army, I received a college degree in electronics, which helped me to develop three successful ellectronics businesses. I promise to veto any budget that does not prohibit tax funding of abortions. Because I have promised to veto budgets permitting payments to illegals, to deploy the National Guard to repel illegals, and to veto bills that restrict Californians rights to bear arms, I received the endorsement of the United Republicans of California. I was named California Republican of the Year by the National Republican Congressional Committee.

    He seems like our kind of guy. Why isn't his name out there for people to see. Never see his name mentioned on Free Republic. Why? One thing I have learned over the last twenty years is that you won't change the invasion by complaing. The only way is at the polls. Let's put his name out there. O.K? Jim

  • Another New Poll Shows Conservative Bill Simon's Support Exploding in California

    01/27/2002 11:04:10 PM PST · 95 of 127
    Jim Thornley to absalom01
    Following is a statement by Nick Jesson who is looking for the Republican nomination for job as Governor of California. As you may not know, the best known candidates, Simon and Riordan are both advocates of open borders. Bill Jones, although he did support Prop 85, has had nothing to say about immigration in the official voter information guide. Let's get the debate on immigration going.

    "Close Our Borders from Illegals In California we have almost every ethnic group throughout the world. Many of these different people came here for freedom and to work hard. Many of the same people spent years to become a American citizens and are citizens of this great country today. However, today we have politicians who would open our borders to no less than 15 million illegal foreigners.

    What does that do to the people who have worked so hard to become citizens and to the people of California? First, this is a slap in the face for the many people who spent years to become citizens. Also, it will mean loss of jobs, homes, over crowded schools, welfare, crime, five or more families in one home or apartment, more people driving without insurance, more court cases, more taxes to take care of all these illegal foreigners and much more.

    Already our schools are rated 49th worst in the nation. Part of that problem is having children in our schools who cannot speak English, which slows the learning process down for the rest of the students.

    Many people will lose their homes and jobs because of the illegal foreigners who are willing to work for less money to support many families living together in one home.

    Our taxes are too high as it is; yet our politicians will allow welfare for the illegal foreigners who will not work.

    The politicians are not looking at this as if to help anyone except themselves so that they can receive more votes to be re-elected.

    These same politicians are not willing to help our own citizens, yet they want to let in foreigners. Look at all of the homeless people we already have. Look at how many Americans are already out of work. Look at how many of our children go to bed each night hungry. But we still have politicians who are willing to add to the problems we are facing with our citizens here and do nothing to help them.

    One very important thing to understand about foreigners coming into this great country of ours is that they have their own country. If they want the same freedom that we have here, then they should do as our forefathers did and stand up to fight in their own country for their freedom. If they are not willing to fight for their freedom in their own country, they surely will not fight here in our country to keep it free!

    Our politicians know this and that is another reason they are willing to open the borders to people who will not fight in their own country for freedom. The politicians prefer to have people who are easy to control. If you have any doubts about this just think about all of the freedoms we have already lost. These freedoms have been lost because too many people have stopped fighting for them.

    To stop this, as Governor, I will close the borders. If the Federal Government tries to stop me, then I will not only close the borders to the illegals, but also to the Federal Government.

    Under the Constitution of the United States, the Federal Government can only control its land and the people who work for it! The Federal Government control is mostly on military bases and a few Federal buildings that it owns. This means they have NO control over any of the 50 sovereign states in the Union, unless we let them take that control. As Governor, I will not let that happen, as did Gray Davis."

    My question is , why the hell were these people here in the first place? Why the hell aren't they apprehended and deported the very first time they violate the terms of their visits here?

    Why the Hell don't they just mysteriously disappear?
