Do we block are full potential to reach or goals. Do we suppress or drive to reach or pleasures or desires. Do we smash are dreams. Do we restrict or potential, dreams, drive, heart, soul, feeling for the weak minded laws of this so called freedom are we all we can be. What structure is this system that wants me dead in side a slave forever more? Copyright your thoughts some one might steal them and put them away.

It is liberals that decided to group people based on color. Asian American, Hispanic American, African American, and so on..... Blacks in america come from carribean, austraila, perto rico, brazil, and some don't even come from africa or never set foot in africa, so why call them african americans? LIBERALS who are white in america have this problem called self guilt for being handed a silver spoon all through life.

In the past eight days my house has been burgularized two times by the same 14 year old boy. The Police Department has arrested this boy and the Juvenile System released him to his father. The father is aware that he has broken into my home and stolen property (some irreplaceable) and I would like to know how to proceed to get this parent to pay for some of the items that his son has stolen from my house; while I was at work? I rent and am a mother and I have worked very hard for all of the things that I had. If anyone has an honest answer I would greatly appreciate some insight, because I am feeling over-whelmed and discouraged.

They couldn't do it before, why would they be any better now?

1993 - World Trade Center bombing
1998 - U.S. embassy bombing
2000 - USS Cole bombing

All these were during Clinton. Only 1 attack since Bush took office, and it was early in his 1st term:

2001 - Sept. 11 attack

Who's done a better job at defending against terrorists?

the same guy who openly stated "im truly not concerned about osama"---whitehouse website

he also defended selling our ports to dubai, while he ignores our borders

fact is, the man and his entire admin is full of idiots.

and what makes you think the terrorists want to strike US soil?....the result of that would be an increase of US troops in the middle east ten-fold....im surprised bush hasn't allowed them to hit us again so he could dust off his flight suit and play captain america.

Just look at why the media is liberal. I have the evidence for you. When President Bush used the word ISLAMIC FACIST to describe Hezzbollah, Hamas, and Al Quata, the media objected to the term and accused President Bush as playing polictics and trying to scare the public, yet when Dick Derban, a democratic congressmen used the word Communist Gulags to describe how the American Miliatary was treating captured terrorists, the media simply agreed to the term and did not condem the democrats for it. You can see this Media is sympathetic to liberal viewpoints, never challenging liberals and always condeming conservative views. If this is not a lefty news media I don't know what is.

I heard from an FBI friend/contact that the wall they are thinking of constructing between the US and Mexico is not for illegal workers so much as to stem the tide of Arabic terrorists walking across also (the term used was "bleeding terrorists"). Allegedly they have found many booklets in Arabic telling how to appear Mexican, and teaching some phrases in Spanish, along with abandoned Qur'ans in the deserts of Arizona. How likely do you think this really is? Or do you think this is what FBI agents are being told, as they are not taught to question their sources?

Was this just a justification to a war gone bad? Isn’t the thought of spreading freedom through Democracy by waging war counter productive? If the White house never told you that spreading freedom through Democracy was the only way to win the war on terror what would you have done to fight the Terrorist? Are we willing to sacrifice our Men and Women for a "Theory"? I don’t have that much faith in our government to wage war on a HUNCH that Democracy can end Terrorism. What about you.

Here was his question:
If whites don’t want illegals Why won’t they do the work of illegals for the same amount of pay?
If they won’t do it what’s wrong with keeping the illegals and giving them residency to do our work that we are too lazy to do?

Here is the response I posted.
Another pinhead who knows nothing about economics is asking this question that has been asked so many times here.
OK, idiot, it the upper classes who can afford it that hire people to do jobs "whites are too lazy to do." The middle and lower classes can't afford this luxury. They mow their own laws, do their own housework, and other odd jobs.
We used to have a class of people in this country that the well-to-do hired for these jobs. They are now called by the politically correct phrase "African-Americans." You see the blacks are too lazy to do these jobs because why work when you get free money from the government, i.e. welfare.
