You will never find the perfect conservative....never!

Who said anything about being perfect?

There are three legs to the conservative stool:

1. Fiscal Conservatism
2. Social Conservatism
3. Support for the Military


Cheney only support two.

Do you know what happens to a two-legged stool?

BTW...it’s now fair to say the Laura has just as much blood on her hands as dubya did because of his refusal to enforce the borders and immigration law. And that’s a LOT of blood.

“I would site that in WWII they were many heros with different persuasions (British and American) what does it matter except to win the war?
Who were they? Did you know that the military of that time was vast, and barely screened, and that the great majority were draftees? Even the Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard had almost 2 million draftees, the Army was 93% draftee.”

I do know that...in fact most of my aunts and uncle worked in the various theaters...one uncle died in France...it was the need of the hour...people supporting their county against the enemy...

Your point is taken...thank you for expressing it...

I did not read the quote.

My post was about "ganga" vs "Ganja".

All she is saying is talk about the need to follow the law and shut up about Mexicans/ Hispanics etc ............Its good advice.

the stupidity on this site about this issue is over the top.


So here is what Laura Bush said:

Well, not necessarily, I mean I think we have to have immigration laws and that's just a really important part of it. It's just that the debate about immigration laws, about Arizona's law in targeting someone, a group of people, and this is not new in American history. There have been many groups of immigrants who have been targeted over all of our history, the Irish for instance, when a lot of Irish immigrants, including my family, came to the United States [and] other times, and it's just a trace of Nativism that shows up in American history in a lot of different ways.

If you can't see that she is basically calling the law a bad one because the end result is that it picks on hispanics and that our nation has this problem with "Nativism", then it's not FreeRepublic that is "stupid", but your comprehension skills are lacking.

Then you are reading what you want to read, or put a different way, seeing what you want to see.

“...she’s apparently morphed into Hillary.”

She’s making Hillary look centrist by comparison.

Absolutely right.

“Well, not necessarily, I mean I think we have to have immigration laws and that’s just a really important part of it. It’s just that the debate about immigration laws, about Arizona’s law in targeting someone, a group of people, and this is not new in American history ...”

It’s the incompetent in the WH (who WON’t take sufficient Federal action at the border, lib pols and pundits,
union thugs/ACORN thugs who are despicably purposely fomenting this civil strife.

I’ve never seen such a lowdown, dirty, unstatesmanlike and irresponsible president, who would actually inspire and encourage these conflicts among the citizenry for purely political reasons. He is the lowest of the low.

and you are seeing the world through Bush hatred glasses ...all politicians want the vote of as many people as they can get ...they dont want to destroy the relationship with the entire hispanic culture ...If people want to talk about anything, talk about the law and keeping dangerous criminals from crossing the border ...that is what the issue is about ...It could be about dangerous Canadian criminals as well

(I live in New Mexico ) I am a minority here.(white)......I know a little about the subject

Dear Mrs. Bush and others who think like her.

Your immigrant family and mine came in a different time, things were much different then. The came in legally, many were poor, yet they did not expect America to GIVE them anything except an opportunity.

They expected to WORK and not be taken care of by the efforts of other peoples work.

I am just bored with your argument, you may stop it now, please.

Based on the reaction of people here, Obama and the left are doing a good job of inspiring hatred

Amen! My ancestors were legal immigrants from Ireland as well.

They were illiterate but legal.

P.S. Mrs. Bush. I was going to purchase you new book, but due to your recent remarks on the subject of immigration laws in AZ., I have re-considered.

Looks like Laura Bush is on a liberal, ass-kissing roll.....supports gay marriage, pro-choice, Elena Kagan for SCOTUS and now sounds out on the AZ law that simply codifies Federal law onto the AZ books. The Bush women strike another blow against American conservatives & patriots.
