Asked if Obama himself had a favorite song he would like to sing, the presidential frontrunner broke out into an admirable rendition of “Mexico Lindo y Querido,” a song by Latin pop artist Maria Jose Quintanilla. The song, which translates into "Beautiful and Beloved Mexico," is a popular song south of the border.

Have you ever read Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of a Conservative"? It will open your eyes as to the original meaning of the Constitution and how modern Dems and Reps are steering away from the Founding Father's idea of the Republic. No bashing, please, just tell me what you believe.

To oppose the NAU? Following info reads:

If you have been scratching your head trying to figure out
why President Bush has pushed so hard for amnesty, here's
your "smoking gun."

An effort is underway to create a North American "framework"
that will all but eliminate hard borders between Mexico,
the U.S. and Canada. This "framework" includes a "trusted
travelers" program that allows "citizens of North America"
to move freely within the three countries.

No wonder the President is pushing amnesty!

On August 20-21, President Bush will join Mexican President
Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Harper for the second
Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summit.

WHY? Can they do this? Would YOU be in favor of that if it happened in YOUR city?

San Francisco city officials are trying to force taxpayers to pay for immigrants' green cards and citizenship – and to bolster their case for the new tax, they've introduced a resolution condemning national radio talk-show host Michael Savage for what they call his "defamatory language ... against immigrants."

I mean, there are a plethora of factions, many of which oppose each other and would love to kill one another. They don't exactly have armies or the greatest intelligence (neither mental power nor any department that acts like the CIA or FBI). And how will they all make it ONTO this nation; how are they going to come--on the Greyhound Bus?

So I want someone to give me a reasonable scheme that would explain how exactly some anti-western group would organize a takeover of the US or the world.

The reason is that it is the only country that we've had war with without us having to leave troops. For example: We still have troops in Japan, Korea, Germany, Bosnia, Nicaragua, etc. Further, Vietnam never gave us any bunk after the war. In fact it is one of the best places to vacation in Asia and they want our presence there.

If today's northeastern yankee dominated Democratic Party is still the party of the KKK, why is it then that 87% of jews voted for Democrats in the last election?

Why is it that over 90% of jews in congress are Democrats or side with Democrats?

AUSTIN -- A showdown over a proposed state constitutional ban of same-sex marriage pitted a small Ku Klux Klan group Saturday against a massive rally by opponents.

Only about a dozen members of the American White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan appeared at Austin City Hall for the group's "pro-family values" rally. None wore the traditional hoods or robes of the white supremacist group. Some displayed Confederate flag symbols.

"Let's meet their hate with love and understanding," Glen Maxey, an openly gay former legislator and a leader of the counter demonstration, told hundreds of opponents as they marched toward the Klan event.

"We're asking Texans to support Proposition 2 because God supports it, not because the KKK supports it," said Steven Edwards, the grand dragon of the Klan group.

I’m accused of terrorism act. I just got a ticket for telecommunications harassment from the police department on August 7, 2007. My cellular phone was messing up and it kept sending text messages to everybody in my phone book and people I didn’t know in the state of Ohio and outside of the state of Ohio but within the U.S.A. My phone would also hang up on people who I was talking to, forward my calls to another number and so on. The police said the ticket could become a F.B.I. matter because it crossed state line and it could be consider a terrorism act for the homeland security. So far there is at least 8 to 10 different police departments involved with this ticket. The police gave me summons to court and complaint – crim. R 3& 4. The police also said I was using the airwaves to induce mantic because somebody was sending text messages saying that I was getting kidnapped and they was going to kill me. On my cellular bill last month, it told me that I have used 13,000 text messages but I don’t used that much in one month. I had to cancel my service with t-mobile because of the problem my phone caused
me. I would like to know what can I do with this mess and would like to fight the ticket in court. I don’t care if this is in the media but I’m not guilty of the charges that the police department
are accusing me of. The other police departments want to talk to me but I know they would like to press charges. My court date in August 30, 2007! The police said it is a violation of section 2917.21 A5. But this all started with a protection order that I filed against a married man. He was sexually harassment me and harassment me in general.

Or does free speech still exist in America? You may hate Savage but do you defend his right to speak or should he be fired because you disagree with him?

Do true liberals still exist or is it only the illiberals that stand against everything liberals used to stand for?

IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

"Every election season, the Klan is always "out there" campaigning for some conservative politician, who still believes in moral, Christian values. Most times, "the people" never even see our contributions! Every once in a while the media will run a story on some of our rallies. Those events are soon forgotten. For example, last year the AWK rallied for the marriage between one man and one woman in Texas and North Carolina. There were positive results from those rallies. Amendments and/or referendums were passed in favor of traditional marriage. We know that we weren’t necessarily the decisive factor in the passage of those laws. However, we were VERY instrumental in gaining massive, public attention concerning the issue."

1) Being gay is not natural. REAL Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around for a long time and hasn't changed at all: women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. So we can't let it change now.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed - the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

Can you imagine a world where al qaeda has achieved all of their objectives!!?

My answer to him...



I imagine it. I think about it everyday. Scary, huh? America stands up, takes the punches, yet, survives. Why do Liberals want America to die, is my question. Why do they show fear? No other country, besides England's government is helping in the war on terrorism. I will not cower to these maniac's, and nor should the rest of the world. STAND-UP for the sake of freedom, and your LIVES people! Take a stance for your children! Americas forefathers did. They wanted something MORE, than to be controlled by their government, they wanted to be free, happy, and work hard for their children! Why is that spirit dying? Libs, wake up, for damn sake! Fight for America! You are losing her! Never, ever, let a murderer control your minds! Let Freedom, which America stands for live, forever! I beg you! If you forget what our forefathers struggled, fought, and died for, then you are already dead, and so is your country, America.

Please play along and answer honestly. It is kind of long, but I think you will enjoy the story.

Lets say that I walk into a bank and hand the teller a note. The note tells the teller that I am robbing the bank and demand $1000 dollars. She does what she is trained to do and hands me a $1000 dollars. I leave the bank into the loving arms of law enforcement. I am arrested and sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. When I first enter prison – I find myself being truly sorry. I am truly sorry that I got caught. As time goes by, I realize that I have done wrong and now have a choice of either going down the road of bitterness or down the road of self-improvement. I chose the rode to self-improvement.
