Reply to counterpoint to we are all just illegal immigrants in Politics JoeUser Forums

And where did the "native" Americans come from? Everything I've read to date indicates the Western Hemisphere had no indigenous people spring from the land. Colonists/settlers/conquers had no interest in hiding inside the native culture or adopting it. I'm sure if that was the intent, those early people would have adopted their hosts laws and found a way to live among them in harmony. The newcomers weren't interested in assimilating into the native culture and neither are the people f

You're giving China too much credit. The local governments are corrupt and really don't want the equally corrupt Central Government to know of their dealings. They would either have to be large enough to "share" the spoils or be thrown under the bus to illustrate how the "corrupt" Central Government is trying to clean up "corruption". The Central Government has little concern for matters than 1) don't involve money, or 2) don't show China in a bad light. Roads are constantly being pav

With all that extra money they can have a comedy show (other than their own amateur hour) every day in Congress. I suppose it all depends on the faith one has in the government solving ones problems for them.

Reply to Blacklist, a useful feature when not used by cowards in Blogging JoeUser Forums

How hard is it to "agree to disagree" if one is that set in their ways? I agree Chuck, if one doesn't like the topic, don't respond. If one has the need to write their thoughts and not have someone comment, write it in a journal or diary. If one simply must post it on the internet, post it where like minded people post. JU just happens not to be one of those places. One runs a chance here of drawing an opposing opinion, and that's a good thing.

For all we know the "Dream Act" (back door amnesty for certain illegals) that killed it. It was a political ploy that was it. I would still like to see the DoD's report out first (due in Dec.) to get their opinion, because that's what matters to me, the military position. Why should those that don't have to deal with the issue have a say? If I were still active I wouldn't like it, but if the military wants it then they are the ones that have to deal with it now. I just hate to see people used

Looks like the Bill was defeated. Now the debate will be was it DADT or the "Dream Act" that killed it. No matter what I believe it was a travesty to include these attachments to a Bill our troops need to continue their job. Harry Reid likes this tactic very much, just not so sure it is going to work for him this time. This boy has cried wolf once too often.

IMO it's because he knocks America down a peg or two in their eyes. They don't want the US to go away (just in case they need us), but there is a bit of envy. Now that's just my opinion.
