I realize I'll get flamed for this, but I think it's true.

You wo;t be flamed by me.

I don;t think that it's outside the realm of possibility that it would be in the interes of certain parties to erode the middle class.

You want to see what America will look like in 50 years? Consider China.

Der Fuhrer Fox shouldt march hiss sodiers NORTHWARD to imposze his vill upon us. (I'm sorry, I can't write in German accent.)

Love for the little coward to try something violent.

I don't think anything quite that diabolical is going on with the Bushes...

One of Bush's nephews is Mexican though---could be more of a family feeling of compadres!

Good stuff dawn53 you are right on track. It's the old double standard at work

"This is the second time he has allied with our cause"

Don't go buying an fr tee shirt for ol' Jesse just yet. He is and always has been an equal opportunity shake-down artist. He will hit up any one who might have a few bucks to keep his big mouth shut.

I realize I'll get flamed for this, but I think it's true.

And the only reason for that is we love anyone and anything Republican on FR. Couple that with the extraordinary hatred of any American who works for a living and it adds up to a rubber stamp on anything that comes out of the White House and blanket condemnation of anything or anyone who offers so much as a word of criticism about it.

Imagine the shrill cry of outrage if the exact same policies during the last five years with regard to illegal immigration, offshoring of high tech jobs and the collapse of the manufacturing infrastructure had happened under the leadership of Bill Clinton.

But then, what do you expect of people with broad band access, too much time on their hands, and dreams of being Bill Gates.

Bottom line: We love GWB. He has an "R" after his name and that's all that matters.

I think the only reason the govt. doesn't shut them down is that is how we keep track of which terrorist is where over here. Crazy but probably works.

[rodguy911]

Its 8 billion to do a fence right comparable to the one in Israel. But it will save billions. It's a good and necessary investment and needs to get started ASAP,IMHO.

Oh I agree that everyone in the US should be speaking English and that it should be the official language and if you don't speak English you provide your own translator at your own expense. Actually I am taking it for personal pleasure and the fact that my two older brothers both speak Spanish, but the time I came along mom said no more Spanish in the house. I know you aren't flaming we both are really on the same page.

"Well, I am sure most of the Muslim's in America or good people."

Your view is far kinder than my own.

[Czar]

"...pretty soon, America will have more Mosque's then military bases."

Only if we allow it.

[Czar]

I know. Totally unacceptable.

"I think the only reason the govt. doesn't shut them down is that is how we keep track of which terrorist is where over here."

You have far more confidence in the federal government than I do. Remember, had our security agencies really been on the ball, 9/11 could have been prevented. The CIA, NSA, FBI, ATF, and INS -- to name the major players -- are an absolute disgrace. With Porter Goss engaged in a top to bottom housecleaning, there is some hope for the CIA.

When I was growing up in Colorado in the 50's, 60's and 70's, we were REQUIRED to take Spanish from the 2nd grade through the 8th---after that, we could take another language or no foreign language---

So, I took spanish for 7 years and I barely remember any of it---it still makes me scratch my head WHY we did, way back then...

BTW, I live in Arlington---so, howdy neighbor...!

Also, I am watching THe Beltway Boys and Both Mort and Fred are in favor of some sort of immigration policy that lets them have a sort of amnesty---they said only radical hard right Republicans are against it....

BOY, do they need to read FR!

[gogipper]

Couple that with the extraordinary hatred of any American who works for a living

You are full of it.

"...how's 'bout we send in some SWAT teams to Mexico to help with crime and drug control that "even Mexicans" won't do?"

Excellent point! Turnabout is always fair play!

[SheLion]

Only if we allow it.

I don't think we have a choice.  The government is going to do what they want regardless of how we protest.

[Txsleuth]

I am glad you feel that same way about that post as I do!!

[SheLion]

I read many articles about the Muslims right after 9/11, and the "slithering" into American society under our "radar" is exactly their modus operandi---they plan on building up their population and getting power in business and politics, and take over America USING America's laws and political system to do it...

Oh yes.  They become citizens, the men wear nice suits, hold down good jobs. Join the PTA. But it's what goes on behind their closed doors that bother me.

[Txsleuth]

I would like to think that you are wrong---

Maybe we should look to what the Ukrainians did---they had a non-stop peaceful protest until they got the "correct" results of a "fair" election...

I think whoever made up the phrase "ignorance is bliss" would say that it probably does not apply in the world today.
