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.

I don't know exactly what you find wrong with #210 but Powell is bad news. He doesn't even want to get Sadam. The guy is a milktoast of a politician. Not anywhere near Secretary of State material. He is there for the same reasons we will not solve the immegration issues ; because the American people are ignorant.
In the heady times after the Gulf War ( before we realized how much we screwed up ) he was very popular. That popularity stuck wisely because he distenced himself from politics at the time and therefore wrongly didn't become tained with the air of defeat.
Powell is consistently wrong.
