According to Ann Coulter, via an interview with O'Reilly last night, she claims that allowing illegal immigrants to sue their employers would solve the immigration crisis.

We all know that's one of the key reasons why farms and companies hire illegal aliens to work for them - because they can get away with paying slave wages to them.

In Ann's theory, she claims that if we allowed them to sue for fair wages without deportation, it would force companies to pay everyone equally, including legal citizens, and stop the driving down of wages for the rest of us too. It may also cause the company to think twice about hiring someone illegal, causing less jobs for them here (that means more for LEGAL Americans), and thus less of a reason to stay or come here.

It doesn't sound like a bad idea. The only problem I see with this is giving them too much litigation freedom. Suing first over fair wages, then who knows what else next.

What do you think?

the religious clerics of Pakistan are making innocent girls and boys as weapons of mass destruction. the capture of students in lal maszid proves this. Pakistan had become a training center to recruit terrorists and has become a problem to india. recently the religious fundamentalists kidnapped some Chinese people and due to high level of influence exerted by the Chinese government, they were released.

The National Rifle Association has compiled a "blacklist" of organizations and people who oppose our rights. Their website states:

"The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI "Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws." Many of these organizations were listed as "Campaign Partners," for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton "assault weapons" ban. All have officially endorsed anti-gun positions"

It is a highly useful resourse for freedom-lovers:

What do our soldiers do? They have to go to the bathroom and do their thing. How do they do it and what do they do when they are in battle?

They aren't going to...just so you know.

I bet you $1 that nothing will be done and they will keep coming. The next time, they will be trying to get amnesty for 30 million.

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is without doubt the most anti-government member of the House of Representatives and has often been a critic of his party's spending and foreign policy. He voted against the Iraq war and Patriot Act. He has never taken a government-paid junket.

Here's a few reasons why I think this:

1. A.) Germany had a fake "terrorist attack" to wage a borderless war and demonize Jews and others.

B.)The US had a terrorist attack to wage a war on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now there's talk of Iran. The people from the middle east have been demonized. How many times have we heard the term "kill'em all".

2. A.) Hitler passed many laws to re-write the german consitution which allowed spying on it's own citizens "for their safety".

B.) Very similar unconstitutional laws were passed here such as The Patriot Act . "All for our safety right??"

3. A.) The Hitler Regime used propaganda and fear mongering through it's media outlets to keep it's citizens naive and falsely "informed"

B.) Our media does the same thing. Why aren't they reporting on stuff like this? I wouldn't know 90% of the things I know if it wasn't for the internet. I feel bad for the people who watch the news that think they're informed.

Does anyone else see these parallels?

It's obvious to anyone on here that I'm a conservative. But even I will admit that while I rarely agreed with him, Bill Clinton was most likely the finest politician I've ever seen (I will admit that my first presidential vote was for him his second term). He always seemed to go with the consensus, keeping him right down the middle on most issues (and thus with a pretty high approval rate). Even when you disagreed with him, he had that way of telling you exactly what you wanted to hear to make you feel better about it.

The people backing him were also some of the most politically savvy in American history, and managed to get him through numerous scandals with little to no real damage. Most of this team is still in place, and working with Hillary now. My question is, while Obama seems to be winning over large sections of young, energetic Democrats, does anyone really believe he has a chance at survival when the Clinton machine gets into full swing and barrels down on him?

This has always been one of those faint rumors that I've heard off and on, but never seen the reg (nor known *where* to find the reg) ---- If an officer were to win the lottery, inherit a large sum, or somehow make a lot of money, then would they be forced to resign their commission over conflict of interest concerns? Thank you.

The resources would include chemicals to reverse pollution on Earth, an inexhaustible energy fuel, and gold to bring the United States out of debt. Why would you agree to this proposition or not? Who do you think would agree? DO you think the present president would try to find a way to force Blacks into exile?

Think about both sides and think carefully!
