Got a letter from one of my Sen. (I won't mention her name cuz I don't want her to get any fan fare.) the other day. She wanted us to all know that the Ag biz in CA is having HUGE losses by criminals stealing almonds, ranch equip etc. etc. Wonder who is doing all that crime? Think it could be the same one's who are doing all the OTHER crime (or most of it) in the State. (40% of Fed prisons are illegal immigrants from mostly Mexico). Don't those Mexican guys work as pickers. Think they are doing the look/see on what they can steal, yet again?
Point here is, this yahoo Sen. wants me to get all excited she is DOING something about the guys who are paying her ticket to have illegals here for their needs and well being, but she has one of the lowest ratings for the biz of keeping illegals out of our country/State. This is a perfect example of how our Senators and Congressman cheat us. We'll spend tax dollars to fix it for the CEO's and ranch owner but twit to you regular tax payers.

I'm referring to those that talk about the sanctity of marriage while having gone through several divorces, those that ban drug use while using it themselves and steal while making laws against stealing.

This is not reserved for one party but all of them are guilty of it. Why do we allow such a lifestyle for politicians? If they made such mistakes and bad judgement in any other occupation they would be unemployed.

it's funny that terrorists haven't thought to use the u.s. mexican border to mass murder americans. you hear about mexicans coming across the border getting arrested and set free in mexico only to come right across the border again hours later.

what would stop muslim extremists from Nonchalantly walking across the border with a nuclear bomb or any other kind of bomb for that matter. they could move a whole army across the WIDE OPEN border for all anyone would know and have killed 100's of people before anyone could stop them. as poor as mexico is they wouldn't have any problems paying their way into the country and finding all the help they need. what do you think?

I want to join the military at some point in the near future, but my family does not support my decision. They feel I should graduate with my Bachelors degree and find a nice desk job. Despite the fact that both my mother and father are army vets, they still don't want me to join. My mother feels that joining will be a "death sentence", and without my family's support I'm beginning to lose my drive to join. What should I do ? Should I wait until I graduate and join behind their backs, or take their advice and forget about the idea all together? Also, which service is best for college grads with degrees in media and design?

An illegal immigrant faces reckless homicide charges in the deaths of two motorists killed when their car rear-ended a grain wagon without working taillights that had stopped on a state highway. Ernesto M. Reyes, 20, of Hagerstown, was charged with two preliminary counts of reckless homicide after Wednesday night's fatal crash in a rural area 50 miles east of Indianapolis. A judge on Friday ordered him held on $500,000 bond at the Henry County Jail and set an initial hearing for Wednesday at which Reyes could be formally charged. State Trooper Eric Thumb said Reyes...
Illegal immigrants murder more US persons than are killed worldwide in the military. How many are maimed and killed in "accidents".?

a third of the worlds population claim to be christian and yet the world seems to be more politically divided and more violent than ever. Are there flaws in Jesus Christs teachings, or does the flaw exist in the way many people apply Christ's teachings?

Who can now say they don't get free medical care?http://www.bakersfield.com/119/story/90969.html
More than 100,000 undocumented women each year bear children in California with expenses paid by Medi-Cal, according to state reports. Such births and related expenses account for more than $400 million of the nearly $1 billion that the program spends annually on health care for illegal immigrants in California, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing state reports. California long has been one of the more generous states in offering such benefits to illegal immigrants, covering everything from pregnancy tests to postpartum checkups. Many illegal immigrants who might otherwise shy away from government services view care associated with childbirth as safe

Liberals conceived the ideals of liberty and freedom. For liberals, this is an ideology that is a work still in progress. It is a liberal mindset to continuously question their ideals. This is both a strength and a weakness in liberalism.
Conservatives joined the ideology of liberty and freedom. Conservatives will face the devil himself in defense of their ideals without question. This is both a strength and weakness in conservatism.
United in the ideal of liberty and freedom Liberals and Conservatives are invincible. Isn't it time liberals and Conservatives realize that they both defend the same cause? Isn't it time for a bit of mutual respect?

I don't think that most liberals support complete dependance on welfare. They support helping people in need. I am sure that the people on welfare aren't getting rich off of it. It's not a nice way to live. yes, there are some who abuse it. But why get rid of it when it helps so many.

Why do you think that Iraq or any other country for that matter wants to be liberated by us? If they did this whole thing would have been over when sadam was removed. Now we are the dictators and terrorists.

Republicans belive abortion is like murder? fine so don't have one. But why impose laws on other peoples bodys based on your religious beliefs?

Republicans belive gay marrage is wrong? There are lots of things that would could be considered wrong in American culture. why not make laws banning them. What diffrence does it make if two men get married? how is it any of your buisness any way. Shame on you for imposing your religious belief on other people.
