  • McCain throws Belarus under the bus.

    “McCain joked that Gramm would be his ambassador to the outlaw republic of Belarus” I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed that, with decades of over-the-top legal and illegal immigration, America is becoming so balkanized that we now have a “Little” for everyone. By that I mean if there were an army crackdown on the good people of, ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • My Samoan Mother Does Not Need Affirmative Action

    An AA surgeon, who got into medical school with lower aptitude, grades, test scores and abilities, should operate on my Samoan mother, even though there are better-qualified physicians! Besides your Native grandmother makes you a bigger victim than me with a Mexican (Aztec) mother, so you need AA more. However, I am especially needy, because my ...

  • Still pushing the gay come-ons, huh?

  • Immigrants are GOOD!

    I wouldn't have guessed so many hateful people to be posting on this site. What is it with the immigration issue that makes people react so angrily? I've ready many of the posts on this topic and am surprised at the level of vitriol in them. I try to look at immigrants in this way: if I were born in Mexico and had to provide for my family with no ...

  • Lack of Migrant Workers Threatens Food Diversity

    I'm glad you referenced the May 27 NYTimes article, With Migrant Workers in Short Supply, A Farmer Looks to Machines, the reporter tells the story of Jim Bittner, a farmer in upstate New York who cut down 25 acres of cherry trees because he was concerned he wouldn’t have enough workers to harvest the fruit. This caught my attention for two reasons ...

  • Ok until they come for you

    Suppose that law enforcement went to the listed addresses of all people with outstanding warrants and when they went to these addresses, they arrested anybody who looked like the person who they were after and they also arrested everybody else in the house for harboring a fugitive; and even after confirming that the arrested was not the person ...

  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

  • The Armed forces as a path to citizenship?

    I wonder if this idea is politically tenable? Or if would be effective in replenishing the army before the next president (probably) starts to draw down troops. But how about offering enlistment in the armed forces as a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the United States who want to take up the offer. Of course, they would get all ...

  • Sorry Democrats? Come Now!

    “Sorry Democratsby” ProudInfidel “04/30/2008, 2:25 PM # But your attempts to use illegal aliens and voter fraud to achieve everlasting power in a one party system akin to nazi Germany or communist Russia has been dealt a serious blow. I bet you really hate the Supreme court now.” My Response I find it ironic that the guilty often try to ...
