The wet foot/dry foot policy allows cuban rafters who reach our soil (actually setting foot on dry land) to stay here under political assylum, and cuban rafters who are intercepted at sea are sent back to Cuba. ALL other illegal inmigrants from ANY other country or nation in the world caught trying to enter the US by land, air or sea w/out visas are automatically sent back to where they came from. This policy was widely exploited during the Mariel boat lift in the early 80's (Castro temporarily opened up the harbors & allowed any cuban to leave), resulting in thousands of cubans reaching Miami. This upset in demographics has turned Miami into a little Cuba, where cubans there want everything said & done in spanish (including the AMERICAN national anthem!), all policies & laws to benefit them, and basically cornered Florida's local & state governments into catering to their whims for fear of "political incorrectness." Enough! Getting to keep Guantanamo base open is not worth it!

First off, I want to thank all the Conservatives out there who stand up for their princables on this board. Growing up in Massachusetts finding someone that shares my ideology was rare.

My inspiration was Ronald Reagan. I came of age in the 80's and after reading his speaches and reading books about him, I was inspired.

I was thinking, porn is nothing more than prostitution, granted they have health screenings and clean environment, but non the less it's prostitution. What do men and women do in porn movies, they have sex and they get paid, what do prostitutes do, have sex and get paid. So why is pornography not illegal and prostitution is? Don't include the health facts because i already mentioned them. Is it because porn industries pay taxes, so the politicians are getting paid and prostitution doesn't pay taxes so the politicians don't get paid. If prostitution had health screenings and a more controlled environment, would it then be legal, specially if the pimps paid taxes on their HO's?

What entertained me the most was reading the dependable liberal retards on this site frothing at the mouth with "those hateful Christians", "that son-of-a-Bush", "legislating morality". I particularly like that last one, as if most forms of legislation are not based on some moral judgement that the people want imposed. MORONS.

Isn't it hilarious how some radical Mexican groups swear that when the day is done, the Southwest U.S. will again belong to Mexico. I don't care how many Mexicans immigrate to that area, it's too damned valuable to just give up to a country that has already mismanaged itself to hell. Let's examine the "hot properties" that the U.S. will never part with:
California:
1. Hollywood and the multi-billion dollar entertainment industry.
2. Disneyland -- an American icon
3. U.S. Naval, Marine and Coast Guard bases in San Diego (home port of the U.S.S. Nimitz and U.S.S. Ronald Reagan
4. San Francisco --Silicon Valley

Nevada:
1. A multi-billion dollar gaming industry in Las Vegas
2. Hoover Dam
3. Nellis Air Range (super-secret military installation also known as Area 51)

....... not to mention oil fields in texas, high-rise buildings and lucrative sports teams like the L.A. Lakers, Dallas Cowboys and so forth. Face it, this land is too valuable to just give back to Mexico.

The Constitution clearly states there should be a separation of church and state. Based on what some people say, they believe marriage is a *sacred* institution that is defined in the *Bible* as the union of a man and a woman. To me, that sounds like a lot of church mixing with state.

I think the State should issue certificates for "Civil Unions" to individuals who wish to live together. Regardless of the sex of either partner. The "civil union" is for any two people choosing to commit themselves to each other and be recognised by the State as one.

THEN, if a couple wants to get "married", they go to a church and get married. However, they are still recognised by the state as a civil union. So marriages would be handled by the Church, not the State. If the Church thinks it's wrong to marry two men or two women, then they don't have to do it. No debate. That's their perogative.

I know it will never happen. It's just a hypothetical suggestion, but one that would be ideal, i think.

Liberal this, conservative that, christian this, islam that, ad naseum. Why is it that any time a point is made, wether valid or not in whom ever's opinion that most people in the realms of politics and religion rarely have facts to back up their wild claims? There is an easy to use box for refering people to supporting evidence! On top of that when somebody does refernce their point, there are people who resort to name calling. It is becoming more and more apparant that the idological rift will continue to grow because people aren't smart enough to either make valid supportable points, or have no understanding of the idiology of "the other side." (For real, a person claimed FDR would be considered a Republican in todays world, isn't FDR the most liberal President? He created the welfare system, wether you like it or not his politics are not debatable, they speak for themselves.) My theory is the age/education level of the people here, what is yours?

And don't respond by saying he was a drunk or a bad president. Bottom line is he saved your country. Most people don't even know that his tomb is in NY. The tomb isn't visited often.

On that day we don't pay for illeagals, we shut the border, we don't allow illegals into the schools and hospitals, we shut down food stamps, welfare, WIC dollars, police protection, stop all applications for greencards, and fire all the illegals.
