An American goes out to his driveway, starts his car, and pulls out.
Either because he forgot, or just felt like going with the flow because it was a nice spring day, he doesn't buckle his seatbelt. Red lights. Pulled over. You know the story. His insurance rates will go up. Possible court appearance. Nice little fine. If he doesn't kiss the Kommandants butt nice enough, even possible jail time.
A couple Americans who have been friends for awhile are playing a little game of nickle and dime poker. The music gets a bit loud, knock on the door. "You guys gambling in here?" Can't do that. You're all busted.
A young American woman who maybe got married a bit too early faces a divorce. She decides to go out and possibly see a friend or two and goes to have a drink near home. She lights a cigarette and most people don't mind. But one complains to the bartender, and before you know it, a policeman is there. Same kind of crap. Busted.
An elderly gentleman drives to the store. Because of his wifes prescription costs, he didn't renew his car insurance. By the end of the month, he'll have enough money. But the end of the month is not soon enough, he gets stopped for a burned out brake light, and the rest is already history.
Meanwhile, Pedro something-or-whatever with a Z in his name wanders across the southern desert. We know NOTHING about his history. We know NOTHING about his motivation. We know NOTHING about his educational background or cultural leanings. I guess if we're lucky, he truly is Mexican or Guatemalan, and not actually a terrorist in disguise.
No problemo. No jail time. No deportation. No community service. No NCI computer runs. No fine.
There was a time when Americans made the rules. When our representatives truly represented.
I guess now they represent invaders. Or anyone who will give them the all precious vote.
Maybe we need the Mexicans. At least they won't sit down, shut up, and take it.
*BUMP*!
That is just a stupid rant posting the same Bush is stupid and lazy crap. Grow up.
At least you didn't blame Bush. (Did you want to?)
It's for the children don't Ya know? Every time I hear it's for the children I cringe... Not only does it snatch our freedom, it takes the future freedom from the "children" as well.
So it makes even more sense to criminalize regular Americans (you know, grandmas who fly with nailclippers, construction workers who go out on Saturday and have 3 or four beers and maybe a shot) than to criminalize people who openly and brazenly defy the law of the land and come across the border uninvited and without review?
We are getting played for suckers. We pay for the Congressmans salary, while they kiss up to Fox and meanwhile write more laws about keeping track of ALL men because a few might not be paying child support, or even better, spending HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, maybe even MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars worried about if a couple of baseball players are using steroids.
Meanwhile, thousand of containers and just as many unknowns enter the country daily.
That is what I am trying to say. Already, we can be arrested and imprisoned for just about anything. Once the fear from the "secret police" is instilled, then the only thing preventing total control of the population is the ownership of firearms.
Of course that was before seat belt and insurance laws but it still applies.
The advice of two lawyers to me was that if they want to get you, they can find a law to do it. Too damn many laws!
The irony. The "Republican" party sending America down in flames at the hands of illegal invaders. And the invaders don't even fire a shot.
I must say that that is one of the best refutations of an article I have ever read.
Sounds like you are intimidated by that information.
What should I be intimidated about. Bush is intellectually lazy. Wow! No one has ever said that before! What a bombshell! Being lambasted by someone he fired! And lets see. Who has said he is an intelligent and engaging man? Brit Hume. Bill O'Reilly. Fred Barnes. Bill Samon. I have my beef with this administration - specifically the border and immigration issue. But this crap about his NG service, his intellect, etc., is old. It was not news worthy when it was first reported and even less so now. Again, grow up. BT AR!
Now I am confused. Are you sure you posted the original response to the right thread? The link I provided had nothing to do with what you are referencing.
People want these laws. You don't want hippies smoking dope in the streets do ya?
You don't deserve all this attention.
Late life crisis. Alky-no doubt.
Join AA. Get into a rehab center.
Dear djf; Get a clue!
Sorry, I just couldn't resist writing that.
Actually, I do have a pretty good idea of who is "pulling his strings".
Hint: follow the money. That is an overly simplistic clue that will lead you to the international cartel of business and political insiders, the most powerful people in the world.
Thie is the headline of the article - The Bush Betrayal: Maybe Hes Not Thinking But FeelingFamily Feeling, Mexican Style
This is a paragraph in the article - That's one of the two main lessons in the first and probably most objective biography of the man, First Son: George W. Bush and the Bush Family Dynasty by reporter Bill Minutaglio. He interviewed 300 people who had known George W. So far as I can tell, he couldn't find a single one who remembered the future President ever saying anything interesting.
Now, did someone hijack your link or did you not even read it yourself. Grow up.
That's the link. Apparently you think you are some wizened old man that is so much more mature than everyone else. Perhaps that's why you can't debate - your ego won't let you.
By growing up do you mean that we should all bow down to your perceived wisdom?
Oh, another thing. You pick out one sentence and ignore all the rest. That's surely the mark of an intelligent, mature person.
