I've seen many posts about how immigrants should assimilate into being Americans.What does that mean?What defines the American culture?Is it just speaking English and only eating hot dogs and burgers?And if so would that also mean that the Native Americans should assimilate and become more American?Just wondered.

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 — The Central Intelligence Agency last fall repudiated the claim that there were prewar ties between Saddam Hussein’s government and an operative of Al Qaeda, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, according to a report issued Friday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The disclosure undercuts continuing assertions by the Bush administration that such ties existed, and that they provided evidence of links between Iraq and Al Qaeda. The Republican-controlled committee, in a second report, also sharply criticized the administration for its reliance on the Iraqi National Congress during the prelude to the war in Iraq."

Instead of electing an intelligent, respectable, experienced president, we elect one with "likeability" who can "connect with the people". Doe connecting with the average person have to mean that they ARE an average person?

Personally, I'd rather a President that doesn't give a *bleep* about me, but still gets the job done.

Are we going to elect another average Joe in '08, or are we going to elect a GOOD president?

For more info on eletist societies, please read 'The Republic' by Plato, as it was the cornerstone of American Law.

So many of the the people on Y!A espouse a devotion to Christianity, how many of you support the death penalty?

What about devout followers of other religions?

katsuplover,

I swear to God, that I have never even looked into information on La Reconquista, I have witnessed my city and surruounding cities turn Mexican, all the white folks leaving, thats all.

Its not about La Reconquista, its about truth, since the U.S Government needs these people to survive and thrive, they are doing nothing about the problem, so in turn they need a place to live and towns become Mexican, plain and simple.

I say its a matter of time before they are the majority, and the article you show makes sense. They how ever cant, and are not trying to take over.

Just because the Governor will soon be of Mexican ancestry, the mayors and most politicians, some day the President of the U.S, doesnt mean they dont hold an allegiance to the United States

I am convinced after reading the senate report on WMD in Iraq not being true, and Saddams hate for Al Queda, along with watching "In the Footsteps of Bin Laden" that not only did the FBI know, but President Bush was given a Secret Document with evidence that Osama bin Laden was going to attack America!

Impeech this President now!

Most Americans do thier own chores. Some people even hire illegals out of pity. I used to hire kids to keep them off the street. With the mentality of pro-amnesty(anti-american)illegals this is really a case of exuberent pride and slapping the hand that feeds them. They come here "expecting" work and then they have the nerve to call Americans lazy and incompetent..the people that went out of thier way(illegaly) to help a human being out and give them a job. Most of the illegals in my town are lazy and heavy drinkers. I usually have to go through 8 to 10 of them before I find a good one to work. Most Americans aren't racist or inhumane. Please don't use that as a political platform

The only Invaders were the English and Spanish Conquistadores hundreds of years ago.

Heres the definition of "Invader";
Noun: invader; Someone who enters by force in order to conquer

And what is a Conquistador, very simple a conqueror.

The immigrants are not trying to conquer anything, it would be impossible to conquer the might of the U.S military, they just want to work and feed some of their poor back in their country.

Fat Boy Glenn has it all wrong, he better get it right and stop calling them "Invaders" or I'm gonna invade his assz with my foot way up there.

I used to think it was a good way to deal with murderers etc, then you find out people are innocent afterwards - not such a great idea. Handy deterrent though?

I am not convinced by either arguement. Any one made up their minds?

cheers - would really value the opinions.
