Re: Illegal aliens plus
Dear President Bush:
To say that for the most part I am disappointed in you, would be to put it mildly. But why should you care? After all, your political advisors are telling you to pander to whatever you wish because those who support you have no one else to turn to.
That may be the case, but I can assure you that there will be no further campaign contributions from this household, and although I could never vote for one of the nine Democrat dwarfs, I may not vote at all. To vote for a man who has neither the courage nor the integrity to fight for what is right for America and Americans rather than lawbreakers, would be to discredit my franchise.
You, and your administration, just don't get it. I was a strong and vocal supporter, but I am disappointed with your domestic policies. I supported you on Iraq and on the tax cuts. But signing the campaign finance reform bill was wrong; signing the Ted Kennedy education fiasco was wrong; and the Medicare reform that a large percentage of seniors alive today will never see does too little too late. Your constant pandering to that lout who is President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, is wrong. Your proposal for amnesty, no matter what you call it, without first solving the problem with illegal immigration is wrong, and worse than that, dangerous for the way of life we have known and loved. Did our forefathers give their lives and efforts to forge this country so that we could hear, "Press one for English" on the telephone? So that a person who could not even understand the English language could vote?
You are the first President to not only be on watch, but to assist, when one of the most basic and treasured rights in the Bill of Rights has been abridged. Pornography - OK, but don't speak out during an election. Why, because that pseudo Republican McCain, the darling of the east coast left, from Arizona wanted it?
Homeland Security is a joke. Make Grandma from Minnesota strip down and be searched, and check Momma's shoes, but leave our borders open. If you or Tom Ridge think our comfort level is raised when Grandma takes off her shoes at the airport, all the while thousands of illegals are pouring across our borders, you are mistaken. Without protecting our borders there can be no secure homeland. And now, a proposal to give rewards to those who have broken our laws and come into our country illegally goes beyond the bounds of reason. Let's let all the burglars out of prison. After all, there are so many of them it's getting hard to feed them. Let us create a peon class and destroy middle America with low paying jobs that are competed for by those with no heritage or ties to this republic.
You are going to open the door to a mass exodus from Mexico at a massive additional cost to the taxpayers of this country. And while Jose gets every benefit known to mankind, our veterans, our seniors, and the poor in our country, citizens all, go begging for assistance. America is now a place where a citizen cannot deal with his funds in excess of $10,000.00 without telling the feds about it, but millions of illegals working here can send billions of American dollars to a country that has disowned them? And all the while getting free medical care, free education, and the like? Vicente the Fox must be laughing all the way to the bank.
You fight for the right(?) of every illegal illiterate downtrodden refugee from anywhere to come in and take advantage of our tax dollars and generosity. But where is your fight for your sorely needed judicial nominees and tort reform. And how could you countenance the paying out of billions to the families who survived 9/11 (an act we were not responsible for), while the survivors of men and women who have given their lives for their country in Iraq receive a paltry $15,000.00? Where is the fight against the secularization of our America? You, sir, a President who has a majority in the House and in the Senate, have squandered it.
You have been debased by the political arena. Instead of standing on principle and fighting for what is right, fighting to preserve what made our country great and strong, you are more concerned with pandering for votes to be re-elected. And why should we continue your legacy? Is the enemy within the greater evil than the enemy without who seeks the throne?
You have lost me. I cannot use my franchise to vote for a man who, in my opinion, although strong in a few areas, has let this country down in so many others. You have a sworn duty to enforce the laws of this country - including immigration laws - and you turn your back on doing so.
You sir, a supposed Texan, have failed to Remember the Alamo. You would also do well to remember the words of Gen. George Patton,"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men." You would appear to have lost the courage to fight for what is right for America.
Respectfully,
Bill Berlat
Nah I'll let you, the master of inane comments, take the lead.
So I'd like to thank you both, for doing your level best to ensure that anyone who is against illegal immigration will be put in the same category as barking moonbats like the two of you. Thanks a lot. Do us all a favor and get off of "our side".
And ftm-- "Hunt the Boeing", indeed. If you believe that crap, you're not just stupid. You have two years of catching up to do before you can achieve even "stupid".
That photo you ask about is hosted on a website called rense.com.
You should check it out. You can feast on such articles as
"TORTURE: Hideous Evidence US Military Tortures Iraqis With Electricity"
...as well as the above "Powerful" letter.
And BTW...I have serious doubts about the digital integrity of the photo you ask about.
The reality is, in today's liberal media world, a national candidate CANNOT get elected running on a conservative platform. The willing dupes are so ill-educated (thank you public schools) and so brain-washed by political correctness, bleeding heart liberals, and "for the children" rhetoric that the conservative agenda sounds to them like a return to the dark ages.
Most Americans of voting age get ALL that they "know" from Dan, Peter, and Tom! In that sense, conservative views don't even have a voice. And please don't point to Fox news to counter my argument; their approach is very middle-ish and without much in the way of discussion of basic conservative principle, and they always give a soapbox to the idiot left. Also, if they reach 10% of Dan's audience I will be shocked.
Don't judge W too harshly until WE provide him with a working majority in both houses. Then, we have to make our concerns (over and over and over...) known to him and see how he does in his second, conservative term.
