** TS…I have two choices: I can either accept that you are incapable of understanding the term “go home” or that you are playing dumb. In either case you seem to want a picture drawn…so here it is.
You are out of your league TS. Truly. For example…Do you really expect anyone to buy the idea that you teach economics and business law when you have zero concept of international trade and zip appreciation for diplomacy when dealing with our number two trading partner?
And business law???? Come on…no professional worth his legal salt would continue to participate in speculation and hearsay the way you do. In fact, no one in business has the legal luxury to gainsay anyone publicly and if you ARE teaching your students that; it must be to teach them by example what NOT to do.
If you are going to claim some intellectual position, can you at least pick something you have a shot of making sound realistic?
And you sound racist TS…something most Americans reject. And if you must sound like a born again KKK, may I suggest that you give yourself a clause: separate the terms “uneducated”, “drug runners” and “criminals” from the term Hispanic or Mexican and include the White neighbors to the North? Hasn’t it dawned on you that while the people you hang out with may get all worked up about “those people”, the rest of America learned to appreciate other races and cultures when they were being educated in REAL colleges.
Lastly, you are too emotional. In my line, we live for the moments when we can get our competition to lose control and start ranting. People who do so tell those who are listening that they are vulnerable and unsure of their position.
In the real world, very few people get to that moment. If they do “lose” their temper, it is almost always planned, with just the right amount of indignation and no quarter given or asked.
**TS…When people demand something and want it right now…it’s called a tantrum. Your demand for this war time president to take his eye off what should have been his number one priority was akin to a 2 year old threatening to hold his breath until he dies.
And no TS…there is no wave…if there was even a tiny ripple that was going to move anything, the serious politicians would be lining up to ride it. Sorry but that is a political fact.
**Yes ask me why I don’t throw out my sources. That’s kind of like asking me to pick a poll that will back up my opinions. I don’t know TS…I guess I just think that some of those reading these comments MIGHT be capable of thinking for themselves….
If Santorum and Hayworth had other issues that tanked their campaigns…then THOSE other issues TRUMPED the illegal immigration issue. And TS, you just lost your point.
(That was too easy)
About the “culprits”
1) I kinda hate to break it to you, but America IS multicultural. It makes us rich and diverse (not an evil word, I promise). But you have it wrong if you think these cultures want us to become a mini version of the old country; why settle for a replica of the old when you can build something new and great? That has been the lure and the magic that continues to make America a land that most people dream about.
2) Sigh…and you teach economics? Illegals furnish fake ID to work. That means they pay taxes. That means they contribute to the ever growing social security population. That also means that they will not withdraw their own contribution to the SS program. (In case you don’t get it, that’s like getting free money as the SS program as it stands are government IOUs for all the years we have contributed to the fund.) $100k per illegal…ok Mr. Economic professor, how did you get that number? Most illegals use free clinics, very few draw on food stamps or other social programs…they are too busy working and contributing to those programs for poor, uneducated, AMERICANS that cannot compete for low paying jobs.
3) Ok, there are two really stupid comments here…first, the GOP has spent 40 odd years trying to gain the Black vote…but you see nothing idiotic in trying to alienate the growing Hispanic vote? Don’t you EVER want to win elections??? Second, TS, LISTEN carefully, take your time, a light may go on here and it may shock you…illegal workers come here to WORK. They are not into the entitlement programs…they do not have the victim mentality…nor do they think that government should protect their jobs or help them compete. That’s YOUR line.
4) You’re accusing the Catholic Church of wanting to destroy this nation (your sentiment) so it can get obedient worshipers? You SURE you want to offend the hundreds of thousands of Catholics on top of the Hispanics and those who belong to unions and small business men…TS…is there ANYONE left to vote for your cause?
Re: Bush’s Conservatism
I agree…Bush is NOT a Conservative by YOUR definition. Your type of Conservative will govern by the will of the base as interpreted by the alternate press…will stand on the principles that YOU think he should stand on, instead of his own. Your Conservative will spend money on a wall to combat a decades-old problem instead of fighting the war and overturning a 9/11 and dot com bust economy.
Bush is a REPUBLICAN and not just in name only and when it suits him.
I must admit to taking each point at a time…and I’ve finally come to your rant about the war.
You REALLY don’t understand do you?
We went into Iraq for many reasons but the most important one—and it is still valid today—is to cut the funding to terrorism.
And if I have to explain to you why it is necessary to cut the funding, you need more help than I can give.
