"The anti-Globalists are the nutcases who demonstrate and riot at international conferences."

Haven't been to one, but lets just be smart globalists, and be honest brokers of the deals to the american people, and that includes us noncompliant conservatives.

[Huck]

I bet it starts with an M and ends with ONEY.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Your Tales from the Crypt have no bearing on this issue.

[Howlin]

Yes, you said there would be no meaningful legislation, BECAUSE THE PUBLIC doesn't want it.

Where exactly is the poll that says that they want illegals sent home en masse?

[Huck]

Right, because our first priority should be making sure Boeing sells airplanes.

"No right [should] be stipulated for aliens to hold real property within these States, this being utterly inadmissible by their several laws and policy."

Folks, that was a pig that just flew. I agree with Willie 100% on this one.

[jpsb]

"I said there will be no meaningful legislation." Acutally you said something very much like "the people to not want it" ..... It being illegal immigration ended.

[TigersEye]

I was specific. I put it in my post. Think "longshoremen."

[SunStar]

I mean, after all, Dubai SHOULD bow to us right?

No, and we shouldn't have to purchase their friendship either.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Another LIE. This was started by the RATs and the gullible followed right along.

[Jhohanna]

Thanks there jpsb... that helps a lot.

It's nice to see that those rules are so followed (especially the racist and attacks). *rolls eyes* I do try to stick to those because they are the basic rules of being a decent person. Good to know about the pings... I try to do that as well. Thank you a lot for cluing me in.

And I may not be a long timer on here, but I have been around for a *very* long time on the 'net, and have written many times about netiquette. But where does one draw the line with being Conservative? I have many many conservative views, but a few that are ardently liberal... such as my friends who are gay. Etc. But I do try to set the example and treat others the way I wish to be treated.

Which is why Ms. Howlin doesn't get responded to, because I do not wish to be treated as she has done, and if I don't incite it. Well... ya know. That's the best way that I can portray myself and not get all riled up! :)

[Jhohanna]

Anymore... I forgot that part! :P

[woofie]

right

[Frank_Discussion]

What money are we spending in this port deal to claim the friendship of Dubai?

[Junior_G]

While you are quite correct to value sovereignty and security I would suggest that those are both ties to wealth and that is tied to trade.

Wealth and trade are all well and good, but with no restrictions whatsoever? How does selling our port operations to a foreign entity bolster our sovereignty and security?

[ohioWfan]

No, actually, I don't.

"And if he's got a problem with it, well, he can tell our lifelong friends! :P"

He is playing the part because he loves you and doesn't want to cause strife. just kidding. :) I don't have dog in the anti-homo fight (with some small exceptions). they live their life, I live mine. As Bush said on a phone not realizing he was being recorded, "I don't differentiate sin." We all have our issues.

[SunStar]

Is the Arab Sheikhdom or the Chinese government better?

Neither, of course.

[Jhohanna]

That "Bareback Mounted" movie is going to be the death of us. Next it will be "Gumsmoke."

Oh DON'T I KNOW IT!!!!!!!! You know, even the gay crowd hates that movie.

But now that I am forced to carry 2 queer channels by Cox Cable (but can I carry Playboy, NO!), all I see in the guide is stuff about Gays in Rural America. I'm scared.

I accept Gays and Queers for who they are, not who they screw. But I also banter them constantly on their own Gay Agenda.. and you'd be surprised how many of them hate it, and hate that they are being pandered to by the Dems and such. Many of them are Republican!

[Junior_G]

We didn't have to give our allies in WW2 control of U.S. national security interests. They were just our allies because they believed in the same cause.

Maybe the real problem is that we have to bribe an Arab sheikhdom in order to gain their "friendship"...

Good point.
