I don't want to get too far off the subject of the thread here. When someone asks what nationality you are. Do you reply, a man (presumptuous of me) or do you say, I'm a citizen of the United States of America, or a citizen of Alabama and a resident of Huntstville. I doubt it. You probably say, "I'm an American" and the person recognizes that you are from somewhere in the US. I would doubt that they would presume you are from Mexico or a Canadian.

Did you just get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or are you like me, naturally a pain in the butt and always grumpy.

My wife says that I'm all of the above.

Colin Powell wants to bring in 15 million more Muslims into the country, even though statistics show that of those immigrants, 15,000 of those would be active, revolutionary terrorists, and 150,000 would be terrorist sympathizers. And that's a number that could snowball, if the militant Muslims make headway. Yet Colin Powell is sacred, and cannot be criticized, because he is Republican and associated with the Bushes.

This is the type of rhetoric, (post#210)(silly, I might add) that mis-directs a rational conversation on immigration. It makes my point that I made in our correspondence last night, and it causes people to become irritated, so that little or nothing is accomplished.

This is what I try to stay clear of. It is not civil, nor is it factual.
