Like maybe every 2 mile or so? That would be 350 outposts (if you take the 700 mile fence we are trying to build).

Why not post like 150 along the Rio Grande? That way, when people cross, the Guard is there waiting for them.

I understand that people will say that they are doing this to get hispanic votes, but I think they will lose more votes than they will gain if they do not take a stance against illegal immigration. I feel like this is the one issue that could bite the Dems in the azz during the next election.

I've noticed that Hillary's campaign has started to show some considerable weaknesses, and I'm wondering if we're witnessing a classic bait and switch by the DNC. Now, they know that Hillary would get crushed if she ran. Against anybody. She is quite simply too polarizing and has too many skeletons in her closet. NOTHING fires up the republican base like the thought of that harpy in the white house again! But suppose she lost the primary? Suppose a slightly more moderate candidate won? Do you think the freight train of republican loathing would keep up the steam? I sure don't. Obama might have horrified republicans if he ran alone, but put him next to Clinton and he's suddenly downright DESIRABLE! Run Clinton early, get the republicans all riled up, then pull the carpet out. Suddenly they're just not near as fired up, and the dem candidate can coast to an easy victory. Does anybody else think this might be the reason Hillary is suddenly stepping on her d!ck every day?

A person throws a rock into your window of your home, glass flies everywhere, and your child sits on the couch where the rock flew through. You're sitting on the couch, too watching TV. The perpetrator has run away. You, and your child were surprised, and frightened by the sudden "attack". Your child, even after the police have come, and gone, and you have assured him/her that it is safe now, is still afraid, and refuses to sit on the couch, or anywhere near the window. Your child keeps talking about who might have done it. He/she is tense.
Later, the perpetrator is caught. Should he/she be charged with terrorist acts against the family who lives in the home?
(Same thing if your home is broken into. The feeling of safety is gone, isn't it?)

when they refer to the democratic party as "democrat party"? Then in the same breath speak about the republican party. It is bad grammar/sounds hillbilly.

with the excuse that he wants to be fiscally conservative? I mean, c'mon. When has that bothered him before? Even some of you staunch Bush supporters gotta admit that's pretty thin.

Isn't it wonderful that we've taken it out of the hands of the incompetent and inefficient hands of the federal government thus avoiding the hazards of socialism? Those on Medicare have so many choices now (usually over 50). Sure, those on Medicare may have a little trouble affording the team of lawyers and accountants they'll need to navigate the arcane terms of the policies available to them, and if they don't want to fall into the notorious "doughnut hole" they'd be wise to remain very rich or very poor, but on the whole the pharmaceutical and insurance industries should do very nicely for themselves. Three cheers for the U.S.A. where we don't ask the government for handouts. Instead we use our entreprenurial ingenuity to bankrupt those who do.

violence is down 90% in southern iraq now that the british have left completely.

http://www.hdnews.net/Story/p0230_BC_Iraq_1stLd_Writethru_11_16_0955

most of the violence was directed at the foreign troops, and now that they are gone, more of the violence has stopped.

isn't it now obvious that the US should leave? Why are we still there? what's the advantage?

The man is a dwarf! Hillary towers over him and he's a bit of a loose cannon. I think he has the Napoleon complex.

in the news paper where my ex lives and tell everyone in his town how he has refused to acknowledge his son and support him financially? I know it sounds mean but my son is hurt over the way he has been treated by that jerk. He has gone on with his life and doesn't think twice about his son. I would not be stating anything that is not the truth! ONLY THE FACTS!
Thanks for any imput!

I'm wondering if I can get a passport, even though I think I have an upaid speeding ticket somwhere. I used to do a lot of cross country driving, so I really have no idea what county this ticket was in and when I renewed my license, everything went through fine. The ticket is in another state, and I also have an unpaid parking ticket. When I called the DMV they said they had no record of an unpaid speeding ticket, but I know i got one somewhere. Could it have disappeared or not been turned in somehow??

Will these prevent me from getting a passport?? Educated answers please! help!

Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union

It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality

It seems that politicians or even normal civilians can't make any anti-immigration arguments without being acused of racism, politicians are scared now of voicing the peoples concerns over this incase they get braned as racist. This seems abit rediculous to me, why can't we have the right to choose who comes into our country?

Am I racist because I'm proud to be British?
