If, as you suggest, she's in her '40's or '50's, then, sadly, she'll never grow up.

That was a good post. The only thing I have a problem with is that before illegal immigration was made into an issue by Soros, it was made into an issue by the Minutemen and MANY Americans began to understand the politicians of this country, be it the President, Congress, Governors, Mayors, etc, were not doing enough to make immigration a controllable process. In fact, not only were they not doing enough, they spoke out against the Minutemen. The President should have seized the opportunity to control the immigration process with both hands. He should have praised the Minutemen for bravely documenting a weak spot of this country.
Yes, that was a very, very good article. There are a number of good and important concepts that she describes well.
In this article, she doesn’t say anything, she just goes off on a tear based on two paragraphs from an editorial.
Let me suggest being a bit better than that:

If anyone has a list with the names of actual groups that Soros has funded and which played a part in the marches, please post it. Otherwise, things like this only obscure who was actually involved in organizing many of the marches. See that link, or see this:

Can you list some of those sites here??? I wouldnt even know where to begin to look

I did a search using “evil soros thailand destroy america”
and presto! Thousands of articles containing a nugget here or there. I chose this one because part of the 60 Minutes interview is in there. I’m sure you could find the video of the entire thing, and it will scare the hell out of you.
Soros is the Devil.
You are absolutely right: EVIL.
He couldn't praise the Minutemen.
Praising the Minutemen would ensure that 'Ramos and Campeon' would be repeated multiple times. They were sent to jail to set an example of what happens to rogue cops.
As The Anchoress points out, it's HATE that was stoked. You can't have The Minutemen...as noble as their cause...dehumanize a person because that's when people get shot.
Otherwise, I think you're right on.
And I don't think it's too late for him to create a cabinet post Secretary of Immigration. He could get miles out of it. And so could the GOP, don't you agree?
“But the Canal Zone was US Territory.”
Stop and take a deep breath; and listen to what I have to say.
Yes, the Canal Zone was U.S. territory, but the Panamanians considered it THEIR territory. Therefore, citizenship laws apply to anyone born in the ex Canal Zone even when it was U.S. territory. This was one way Panama, like a child, was trying to stick it to the U.S. Only a child can understand such “reasoning.”
But it worked out just find. Since those of us who are still here, we can vote; and vote we do for those who appear to be pro-U.S.
“As for me I was born in third world crap hole in South America.”
And? You can still run for president.
“As for me, both my mother and father were born in the US however, I was not and am thus a naturalized citizen.”
Take that stupid piece of paper saying you are a “naturalized citizen” and tear it up and burn it. It has no value today. I know all about that “naturalized citizen” piece of paper crap.
“The Panamanians, if they wish could grant automatic citizenship to those born in Mongolia.”
Since they are not born in Panamanian territory, their citizenship can be taken away.
How do you expect me to vote for you for president if you can’t allow yourself to understand this very simple stuff?
So there. :)
As for the naturalized citizen B.S., there is debate of whether a person born the US parents is actually a "Natural Born" citizen. And thus far USSC has never defined exactly what makes a natural born citizen.
I love you, trumandogz; but if you were my brother or sister, I would give you a good whack on the side of the head.
Read this:
Doesn’t the US Constitution forbid dual citizenship?
No.
The Supreme Court in its 1967 ruling in Afroyim v. Rusk, used an argument derived from the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to affirm a right to dual citizenship.
If I am a dual US citizen, can I lose my US citizenship?
No.
U.S. law forbids the government from taking your citizenship from you against your will, but it does permit you to give it up voluntarily. This is a formal written procedure on your part through a U.S. Embassy.
It is now assume that a U.S. citizen intends to retain (not give up) his/her U.S. citizenship if he/she:
1. Is naturalized in a foreign country.
2. Takes a routine oath of allegiance to a foreign country.
Is it against the law to have more than one passport?
No.
There is nothing in U.S. law forbidding a US citizen to possess both a U.S. passport and a foreign passport provided the person really is a citizen of both countries.
Is a child born outside the US to American parents eligible to become President?
yes.
The U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1, Subsection 4) says: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”
The term “natural born citizen” is not used anywhere else in the Constitution, and it has never been the subject of any federal court ruling.
At least three Presidential candidates in recent memory were born outside any U.S. state.
o Barry Goldwater, the 1964 Republican candidate, was born in the Arizona Territory in 1909 (Arizona did not become the 48th state until 1912). Goldwater lost the 1964 election to Lyndon Johnson.
o George Romney, a 1968 Republican hopeful, was born in Mexico in 1907 to American parents who had moved there to escape anti-Mormon persecution in the US. (Contrary to a widely held popular misconception, by the way, Romney’s parents were settlers in Mexico, not missionaries.) Romney’s campaign fizzled following a gaffe about his having been “brainwashed” regarding US involvement in the Vietnam conflict.
o John McCain, an early Republican hopeful in the current (2000) campaign, was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 to American parents. McCain dropped out of the campaign in favor of the Republicans’ eventual nominee, George W. Bush.
I am a dual US/Panamanian citizen by birth. Can I vote in both countries without losing my citizenships?
Yes.
Neither U.S. nor Panamanian citizenship law says anything about losing citizenship as a result of voting in an election in another country.
I never did say that dual citizenship was illegal. Instead, the question is what exactly is a natural born citizen?
I have two passports and well, but don’t tell any one here, I don’t want anyone to accuse me of being a traitor.
However, from what I have read in Wiki:
Although the U.S. Supreme Court has never specifically addressed the meaning of “natural born citizen,” there are several Supreme Court decisions that help define citizenship:

Gads, I hope I didn’t drive you off by threatening to give you a good whack up the side of your head.
Please speak.
In the meantime I had to attend to a telephone call so I am late answering. In the middle of the call, I sent you that last post without looking for your reply.
“I never did say that dual citizenship was illegal.”
I know. That just came with the package of information.
“…Instead, the question is what exactly is a natural born citizen?…”
Who knows? It was something invented for folks like you and me and a zillion other Americans born outside of the U.S. of A to give us a hard time. The constitution does not address that issue; and since some of our congresscrookperverts and other crookedpoliticianperverts were also born outside of the United States, it’s a dead issue. Don’t worry about it.
Just a last comment from me.
I would never whack my brother or sister up the side of the head…ever...or anybody else. I am under a tad 5’3”, my brother is 6’, and my sister is 5’9”.
I confess to biting/chewing on a robber several times who tried to assault me...I won.
Further, we all get along extremely well of which most families would be jealous.
If truth cannot be so bold; what hope is there, for it?
ahhh. . .that was suppposed to read:
'. . .truth in political ads. . .and genuine discourse. . .
