Why has the border been unchecked for so many years allowing drugs to be brought into the U.S? Now all of a sudden we want to build fences to stop illegals.......mmm?

I'm just sick and tired of white people not getting any of the credit we deserve. Was there slavery? Yes there was because villages in Africa sold their own people. White people founded and built this country and I am sick of everyone deomonizing us. I think that we are discriminted against now and I think it's wrong. I don't think that blacks should have special rights just because they're black and I think that you know other people need to stand up and say, I'm proud to be white, why is that wrong? Aren't you proud of who you are?

Have you read the book "Take This Job And Ship It!?" It is written by Senator Byron L. Dorgan of North Dakota. The book goes after our World Trade proceedures and how the US is losing its Middle Class as a result of the growth in National Debt and the loss of American born Cooporations moving to tax shelter land and shipping American jobs over seas to China and India for example.

I'm not asking to offend anyone, I am trying to figure out where all the hate came from. I thought at first that it was a matter of people feeling that illegal immigrants were putting a strain on various social services, but then I noticed that alot of people seem to be bashing the legally immigrated mexicans as well. Why just the mexicans? Why not people who have immigrated from other countries?

Why is it that our own gov't officials can't be trusted. The Florida Congressman wwho sent sexually explicit e-mails to pages should be ashamed of himself & thrown in jail. Not to mention he was on some committee for missing and EXPLOITED children. If other gov't insiders knew of this, they need to go too. We should be able to trust our elected officials.

I get so frustrated when I come home in the evening only to find that my bills weren't mailed out. My local post office said that it was against their postmaster's policy to pick up mail if there wasn't mail to drop off. I didn't know that I had to be psychic to mail out a gd letter!!

This was a statement made on a PBS evening show Sept 29? (maybe the 28th)

"We're doing what no terrorist bomb could ever do - we're taking our own freedoms away." (something like that)

Anyone know who said it, or what show it was?

Why are Government agencies so high and mighty they can never admit when they make a mistake.
I have a disability claim, that there was a problem with, and each time I talked to someone at disability, they said something different.
Well I finally found out what was wrong, but it is too late because it is past 20 days.
I just got the letter saying I was disqualified and they have the wrong dates on for me to go back to work.
I know I did not make the mistake, someone at their office probably entered the wrong dates, but they will never admit it.
I know they will give me a hard time.
Is anyone out there a government worker, can you please tell me why, when you become employed by the government, do you come completely heartless, and enjoy stressing people out and giving them a hard time.

just recently, fairydust posted this comment:


"Look here MATE,
I have dual citizenship in Australia & America, I am entitled to have my say, Its a free country, Australia is a beautiful place,
I doubt you have ever been there though?
Most Australians are amazing people, Australia keeps its conflict to itself, Yes i must agree you are right, Many convicts were taken to Australia, But aboriginals were in Australia first,
I don't deny it, It's a fact!! I have nothing to be ashamed of!!
I HAVEN"T COMMITTED A CRIME!!"

after reading this comment, ask yourself this:
do you think that fairydust is a "true american?"

now don't lose me here, now ask yourself this:
if so, what is the difference from this and the everyday LEGAL mexicans who live in america (and love it) yet still reserve a little love for Mexico?

this is for all those people out there who say loving your homeland country and people makes you a "faulty american"

I'm wondering about this because I'm watching a video from a Charlie Rose program, and in it, there is like two supreme court justices talking about how people should be informed about judges because if they don't know about them then they will lose legitamacy and people won't be confident in them. Anyway, if I didn't lose you my basic question is: what do you think about judges??

**Remember Judge Judy (on network TV) is by NO means a comparison to a Supreme Court Justice**
I'm sure they don't yell at the poor people in court...lol
I'm watching the video and Sandra Day O'Connor is so cute cause she's old and reminds me of my grandma (hehe)..

Bill Clinton inserted "cigars" into the Vagina of Monica Lewinsky a 20 year old "Intern" in the Oval Office no less! And his devoted followers including Hillary see nothing inappropriate with that?

He asassinated the characters of each and every woman that stood up to seek redress for his groping, attempted rape and rape, but the Dems say, "thats o.k. it's his private life"!

He's now seeking the positon of Secretary General of the UN ... how appropriate!

He is certainly qualified and will undoubtedly be excellent in heading up the most corrupt, impotent organization on the face of the Earth that adores Jimmy Carter who in turn loves and supports Hugo Chavez a total madman who has invited the President of Iran to set up training camps in Venezuela with Jimmy Carters blessing!

If Foley resigned how come Clinton didn't after the Monica disgrace?

Clinton demands Jouranalists ask him questions he approves only showcasing his wonderful Democratic values and morals ... ugh

I know i know this was REALLY stupid but I asked the lady if it was going to go on my record, I didnt want to ask anymore questions, i was pretty embarrassed, but will I have to put this on my job applications? Im leaving to germany and im leaving to Germany with my fiance thats in the army and we are getting married in a couple of weeks, will the army say something about this? they also said that im going to pay double for what i took and some state fees and maybe penalties, does anybody know what this is and is this something to really worry about? They didnt arrest me, they said its a civil something, that I didnt need to go to court for it but will this make a criminal record? It was all about $17.00 or less.

My plan is as follows...
give every single insanely patriotic american, like myself, the smallpox vaccination. Then we release the smallpox virus to every corner of the globe, killing off everybody who isnt immune. Once everybody is dead, we move in and establish bases taking the resources, while killing any stragglers that somehow survived. and there we have it...american domination...OWNAGE!
