There has been much speculation about what Tom Tancredo said on the now famous interview last Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Fla.
From what I am reading here on FR, much of that speculation is wrong.
Tancredo was, in fact, suggesting that we consider (not implement, just consider implementing) a strategy similar to the strategy that Reagan used to win the Cold War.
Listen for yourself. HERE
If you think Tancredo is a nut case, and you don't want to change your thinking, move along, this clip isn't for you. Just post your thoughts without listening.
Good God.
Does the Bible have an equivalent for 'martyrdom' that says killing innocents, even your own Islamic followers is OK.
I don't think Christianity can make and match that claim.
Prove me wrong.
"Bayou says about illegal immigration/border control: " It's only an important issue to a very small number of people, all of whom post on FR.""
And he's wrong again, as he usually is.
It's actually an extremely important issue to the numerical majority of this country.
He and CJ are well known anti-Christian, anti Western European culture, anti whites and anti American.
Please continue to disseminate the truth, and feel free to FReep mail me.
The nuking of Mecca and other Muslim cities has been discussed even before Tancredo's statements.
Friday, January 7, 2005: Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?
Tancredo for President 2008/2012.
George Allen and Tom Tancredo would make a great presidential team. I have seen both names mentioned here often as a presidential team for '08.
bayourod's opinion does not jive with the facts.
Members who post opinion contrary to fact need to reverse course or will lose all credibility.
Opinion is fine and dandy. But, opinion contrary to fact makes one look silly, and bayourod looks very silly here.
bttt
Gallup trumps a fox poll.
"Gallup says illegal immigration is not an important issue and that a majority favor a guest worker program.
Gallup trumps a fox poll."
Bayourod is propagandist anti american la raza jihadist liar that you are. Cite the poll. Gallup trumps nothing. Even if the poll were true, it would show that your previous statement that "no one cares, only FReepers" is a complete lie.
here is another example where you lied about tancredo and couldnt come up with the facts to prove your assertions:
"Gallup says illegal immigration is not an important issue and that a majority favor a guest worker program."
LOL! They asked too many illegal aliens.
The demographic pool is biased as too many illegal aliens are part of the population sample.
Do you have a source for this biased, leftist-leaning pollster?
2Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
1Peter 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Revelation 2:10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
How about rooting for our side for a change arsehole....

What? No ignoble verses from the Quran?
Keep this info handy though. He'll pop up again on another thread, carrying on as if he never saw it.
Good idea.
