Yeah, I've about got myself worked up to the point that if this amnesty passes I'm going third Party, or fishing next November. I'll be back on Fred!'s & Hunter's bandwagon if this zombie dies again. Until then, I feel like kind of a hypocrite supporting anyone right now. I got carried away a little earlier and donated to Fred! when he first opened his website. Not much, but now I feel a little guilty when I think about sticking it to the GOP in '08.
In addition to making me angry, these politicians are making me confused...

I agree. A real fence is crap. There has to be a wall. The “fence” idea is only to appease the lowlifes that they think we are.
ROFL
I thought you were talking to me, since I just changed my tagline earlier in this thread. In the famous words of Emily Litella - Never Mind.
Conservatives following through and actually not supporting the "party" and not voting for RINO's, no matter who the opposition is. They still really believe that no matter what we say we will continue voting for their candidates because we have "no choice".
Oh yes we do!
I think it’s going to take @ 300 million Americans standing up and saying, “OK, this government has failed so we want a new one, per the Constitution.”
The gov’t has us outgunned but if everyone would be willing to just stop and say, “No more!” then they MIGHT wake up.
It should have happened a long time ago but people are either too afraid to lose what they have immediately instead of losing just a little bit of it each day, as is happening now, or are too apathetic.
But even a wall is crap if people know that all they have to do is get over it and they will not be prosecuted for their crime.
You donated to Fred. He is not the GOP. I happen to think that the GOP sees him more as a loose cannon. I don’t think the GOP likes him very much.
Run, Fred! RUN!
I love your response.
That's what holds most people in the middle back. People that have nothing are risking nothing. People that have a lot can buy change.
Virtual fences, steel fences, cement walls are all addressing the symptom.
The only solution is to address the problem, eliminate the incentives.
If there is no free stuff, and no jobs, they won't come.
That may be true, but I'm seriously thinking about sitting the next one out, so it doesn't make much sense to donate. At least not yet.
The wall of which I speak has armed machine gun nests. I supposed I should have explained my whole plan. Build the wall 100 yards away from the recognized border. Call that 100 yard strip a “buffer zone.” Remove all vegetation and any other obstacles where the invaders can hide. Armed machine gun nests with standing orders that say, “If anything in the buffer zone moves, cut it down. Don’t retrieve whatever it was that was moving. Let it rot in the Sun as examples to other invaders.”
After all, many don’t realize it but this is, in essence, a war right here on our home turf.
My biggest problem with a virtual fence is there will be no way for us (citizens) to know if it is being maintained or utilized as it should be. If an actual serious fence is built- then we will know if it is maintained or not.
Good points.
That’s true. I’ll either sit it out or vote third party but my inclination at this point in time is to sit it out.
Yep, that’s the best plan. I know the Senators have heard it because I watched McCain talk about it on the Senate floor as being unacceptable. I don’t know if they can be pushed into doing it.
This virtual fence will have the “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule applied to it. The border guards in their towers a good distance away from the fence will have to assume that a stray illegal or two will be walking about as fast as a turtle, or will haplessly walk up to their tower:
“Excuse me, Mr. Border Patrolman, but I’m tired from walking in the hot desert and need some help-Do you know the way to San Jose...?”
A real fence has to cost less than this venture with Boeing.
Yes they do know it, I stood face to face with kyl, and told him what needed to be done, he didn’t want to hear it.
