It's hilarious. I'm a libertarian and I frequently take contrary positions to left wing dogma. I am then simply tossed aside by the "tolerant" and "accepting" left wing as a Neocon, Bushbot or some other nonsense. Is that the best you can do?

WARS - Mexican American War


1846-1848


With the annexation of Texas in early 1845, war with Mexico became all but inevitable. President James K. Polk hoped to settle matters peacefully but was determined to have his way by war if necessary. In November 1845 he sent John Slidell to Mexico with an offer of $5,000,000 for the purchase of New Mexico and $25,000,000 for California. The offer was refused. On May 9, 1846, word reached Washington, D.C. that American troops had been attacked by Mexican forces on April 4. Polk asked Congress, and was granted, a declaration of war. Congress authorized the president to call for 50,000 volunteers and appropriated $10,000,000. Congress and the nation, however, were far from united on the idea of waging war. Southerners favored war as likely to extend slave territory, while notherners opposed the war for the same reason.

President James K. Polk ordered U.S. troops into the region in southern Texas disputed with Mexico, between roughly parallel Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. The commanding general was Zachary Taylor.

1846- Battle of Palo Alto, the first important engagement of the Mexican War, was faught, with the Mexicans on the losing side.

1846- Battle of Resaca de la Palma, U.S. forces under General Taylor forced the Mexican army back across the Rio Grande.

1846- U.S. forces crossed the Rio Grande, led by General Zachary Taylor. The Americans occupied Matamoros.

1846- Monterrey, Mexico, was captured by U.S. forces under General Zachary Taylor after a four day engagement that made "Old Rough and Ready" Taylor, a Whig, into a national hero. His relations with President Polk, a Democrat, cooled subsequently.

1847- Battle of Buena Vista, U.S. forces under General Zachary Taylor defeated the Mexicans under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

1847- U.S. forces under General Winfield Scott landed near Vera Cruz, Mexico. Some 10,000 troops landed in the Western Hemisphere, in what was the first large=scale amphibious operation in U.S. history. Scott began a siege of Vera Cruz on March 22. The fortress fell on March 27 and was occupied two days later. On April 8 Scott moved toward Mexico City.

1847- To negotiate peace with Mexico, President James K. Polk appointed as his special agent Nicholas P. Trist, a State Department veteran.

1847- At Cerro Gordo General Winfield Scott, marching on Mexico City, met and defeated a Mexican force of about 13,000.

1847- Peace negotiations with Mexico were initiated through the British minister, Charles Bankhead.

1847- At Churubusco General Winfield Scott defeated a Mexican army of 20,000.

1847- At the Battle of Molino del Rey U.S. forces under General Winfield Scott defeated an estimated 12,000 Mexicans.

1848- The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed by the U.S. and Mexico on February 2, 1848, formally ended the Mexican War (1846-1848). By the terms Mexico recobnized Texas as part of the U.S. and ceded to the U.S. over 500,000 square miles of territory, including all of the future states of California, Nevada, and Utah, almost all of New Mexico and Arizona, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. In return the U.S. agreed to pay Mexico $15,000,000 and to assume the claims of U.S. citizens against Mexico, amounting to $3,250,000. The U.S. became an enormous continental republic, but the acquisition of the new territory aggravated the dispute between slavery and antislavery forces. The war resulted in 1721 dead and 4102 wounded. In addition, some 11,155 Americans died of disease as a result of the war. The total cost of the war was estimated at $97,500,000.

It seems to me that we are in a stalemate in Iraq and it's getting to be a Viet Nam. Really can't fight a Religious war when the enemy is willing to die and take out as many as they can including their own people.

thousand camel jockeys in Iraq?

If Bush allowed the US military to use it's full force the war would have been over 2 years ago. No military can win a "limited war" like the one the US is fighting in Iraq and there is no reason for the US to cut & run because it can win RIGHT NOW (without having to send more troops) by using all the weapons in it's arsenal. So how about it Bush, let's see how tough you are & do what even the wimpy liberal Presidents have done by using the full force of the US military. The US taxpayers paid for all the stuff & they want to see a US victory in Iraq. So show some courage, save your Presidency and be a winner not a loser by using everything you got (except Nukes).

I sure do, especially when they get all hot under the collar when you refuse to accept their dogma at face value. They claim to be "tolerant" and "accepting", yet when you have an opposing viewpoint you're "stupid" or "refuse to accept the facts (read:dogma)" or the handiest one, you're a "Bushbot" (I think anyway).

For the record I dislike Bush, but for the right reasons.

Hi all,

Happy Holidays!

I have a GC and a reentry permit. My reentry permit expires on Feb 2008.

I left the US on Sept 2006, going back to the Philippines to finish my bachelor's degree. I need a total of 3-4 years to get my degree.
But my Reentry Permit only has 1 year and 5 months left, before it expires.

I am planning to return to the US on Dec 2007 to apply for another reentry.
By then I would have been out of the US for 15 months with a reentry permit.

My question is:
*Can I leave the US right after I apply for a second reentry permit?
without having to wait for approval ?

*Also the fact that I've been away 15 months with the first reentry permit, will it endanger my GC if I leave the US right after I send my second application?

*As a basically jobless student, do I need to file tax for the US?

I have a credit card that my father(also a GC holder) gave me, Public Library Card, DMV I.D., SS Card to show that I have no intention of abandoning GC status

my mom is in the hospital. I asked her to borrow her car. she said yes. On a whim, I drove from Nashville to Colorado to see the Rockies. Now she is pissed, but she lets everyone in the family take her van on long road trips, so I thought it would be okay, and I did not want to wake her up and ask, so I just left. Now she is pissed, and says she has reported the car stolen, but she gave me the keys, and did not say where I could go....but on the way home, if I get stopped, can I be arressted for stealing her car after she told me I could borrow it?

According to the 2000 census, 17% of the households in the U.S. receive public aid. However, only 4% of the households where the head of household is a U.S. citizen receive pubic aid.
One would expect the unemployment rate and public assistence rate to be similar, about 4%. Yet we are giving public aid to 13% of the households in the U.S. who are not U.S. citizens.

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

First there is no such thing as an "illegal war" all that has to happen is war needs to be declared, which it was. Believe it or not the leader of any soveriegn reserves the power to declare war on any other nation, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all.
