IMHO, we are turning our back on the Illegal Alien problem hoping it will go away. This will come back to bite us in the behind. Both parties are by stepping this issue because they are afraid to stand up and protect our way of life. Employers are taking advantage, and we the workers in this country are paying the price. Of course, this is just MHO.

Stupid is to trite a lable.....
it is because we are transforming into the permissive, pacifist, don't hurt any body's feelings, treat everybody equally whether they deserve it or not, it's not in my back yard so what, society.
Like the energy independence farce, the illegal alien, or any body who has their hand out scenario is just one more set of nails in the coffin of the USA we all grew up in. The silent majority just doesn't care....yet.....soon they will become the silent minority and it will be too late as we will be out numbered. I feel terrible about what the current silent majority is allowing to happen to this country. I just wish I could live another 50 years to be able to witness just how bad off our grand children and theirs will be in the future. Enjoy it while you can. Wish your next generations the best...they will need it. Give me the good old majority rules any day....where the good of the many used to out weigh the good of the few....whether they liked it or not!!!!!!!!! BTK |

BTK "it is because we are transforming into the permissive, pacifist, don't hurt any body's feelings, treat everybody equally whether they deserve it or not, it's not in my back yard so what, society."
  It is sad how this country is going to pot over the USC Berkley type liberal mindset. How have we let a minority of the people of our nation bully us into submission? I am glad that I wont be around to see the demise of our great nation, but am sicked by the thought of what my grandchildren will inherit. I, for one, will not be made to feel guilty for wanting control of our borders, for keeping what I earn in MY pocket, for not having our government decide for me who I should support, for supporting our troops overseas, or for just being conservative in my viewpoints. I'm for standing up, taking my b*lls out of my purse and saying Tough Sh*t if you don't like the American way. It's OUR Country. Don't think you can change it into any minority groups idea of what they think it should be. |
