We Are A Secular Nation in History JoeUser Forums

A lot of rhetoric gets spent in the political arena over our founding fathers and their intent in regards to our religious status as a nation. Many on the right contend that we are somehow a "christian" nation. Others, trying to seem more inclusive, call it a "judeo-christian" nation. But fact is, we're not. I've written in the past on this subject

2 Planes "Near-Miss" Above My House in Current Events JoeUser Forums

About 5 minutes ago, my son called me from my desk. He was yelling from our pool out back, "daddy, daddy, look at those 2 planes up there!" When I got out there, I looked up and saw 2 big jets. I'm guessin coming out of Philadelphia International. Could have been BWI or lil ol New Castle's airport, but i'm thinkin Philly, based on the direction and all. The

Reply to We no longer have Illegal Immigrants in the US. in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Not all Hispanics are mexican. Not all Mexicans are illegals. And not all illegals are Mexican or hispanic. i know that guy...but look anywhere this is being discussed. it is all about the "mexicans." some are at least courteous enough to use a more generic term like "latino." and immigration was never a problem when it was europeans comin thru canada cause they couldn't get into ellis. in fact, reagan increased the number of irish immigrants we

I can't speak for Charles, but for myself: I voted for McCain in 2000. mccain...who's for the immigration bill as well? And on dec 9th of 1999, the candidate (bush) said this... I believe it is far more compassionate to turn away people at the border than to attempt to find and arrest them once they are living in our country illegally. And before the people re-elected him again in 2004, his stance had not changed...from january

This is pandering to the highest degree. They want so desperately to make these illegal immigrants into good registered Democrats that they will use any and all wordplay to justify their position. ya'll didn't mind when it was george pandering for them...

why didn't you comment on that when bush said it in 2000? too busy trashing al gore to notice? Jun 26, 2000.... Immigration is not a problem to be solved, it is the sign of a successful nation. New Americans are to be welcomed as neighbors and not to be feared as strangers.

No, as I clearly stated, why get upset over a proposed law that has no chance? the GOP, when it was closer to the "party of principle" that it advertised, would never take that posture. the conservative does not support things just based on their popularity. on abortion, the right has dug in it's stance and refused to compromise because of "moral objections." on gay marriage, they oppose it on "moral grounds." on this issue,

No, you walk away smiling because you've lost it. Crazy people do that. Our opinions may be equally valid, overall, but at least there's caution in mine that's cheney's "1 % doctrine." it's not the probablility of the threat that matters, that can be 1 percent. it's our response to that perceived threat that matters. As for 100 million Muslims, if that many were truly violent, we'd be dead. As I said, if one percent o

The America First Committee was the foremost pressure group against American entry into the Second World War. AFC was established September, 4, 1940 by Yale law student R.

oh, so since you can name one where the Republicans voted by party lines, you say that is conclusive? no, i'm not ted. just an example. can you show some examples of your side? i'm not tryin to be a smart ass, but my point is that many of these republicans are now claiming such vast independence from the president and trying to distance themselves like they haven't been in lock step, on the whole, with the president. they act like they were against all

all the other times Conservatives disagreed with Prs. Bush, they always said, "I support him, I just don't agree with him here". i never really heard that before this issue. when the issue was the medicare drug program, a costly, "liberal" piece of fatty pork, the republicans almost wholly went down the party line..

for example, i was watching an interview with an ohio official this morning on one of the "24's" who was billing the govt. for every illegal he had to jail. something that few in the current climate would be vocal against. but then he added that he bills mexico somehow in relation to the marijuana he seizes as well. someone needs to educate this guy on where that pot is coming from. i happened to put myself thru school in large part to doing a lot of business with ohio farmers who were

It was not meant to be a statement of belief or fact on either his or my part. i'm sorry...i wasn't trying to infer that at all. those comments were directed at no one specific. i do believe that much of this debate is a racist one in many people's hearts. one that is easily denied with plenty of cover. but again, they weren't directed at anyone specific. i probably over reached by saying "whole debate."
