Senate Votes Against Additional Wall On U.S.-Mexico Border

October 30, 2009 by Personal Liberty News Desk 

Senate votes against additional wall on U.S.-Mexico border The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010 after it had been stripped of the provision to build an additional 700 miles of reinforced fencing along the southern border.

The idea had been championed by Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina who voted against the bill and criticized those who helped defeat his amendment.

"We’re learning there’s almost nothing politicians won’t do to get out of promises they make in the daylight," he said, quoted by GovernmentExecutive.com.

However, Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee chairman Robert Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat, had argued before the vote that the wall was "too proscriptive and too costly," and that the bill included funds to build a virtual fence along the border and to hire more Border Patrol officers, according to the news source.

Environmental and community organizations have also praised the vote. Sierra Club representative in Washington Michael Degnan commented that border walls have not been proven to stem illegal immigration, but they have a devastating impact on communities, families and the wildlife in the region.

Among other controversial elements in the $42.8 billion bill are the provisions that allow prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay detention center to be transferred to the U.S. mainland for trial.

    That’s just dandy, ain’t it????
    Even OUR senators are letting this garbage administration have it’s way with OUR citizens and OUR country!! I hope you idiots are happy, now that you joined with the garbage libtards!!
    AND, they’re letting the garbage Gitmo prisoners on OUR soil for trials?? NOT one of them should EVER be released for any reason!!!!
    WHY AREN’T THEY LISTENING TO US????

    • American Citizen says:

      Not only don’t they care we’re being overrun by those illegals, they want to bring terrorists into this country. VOTE OUT EVERY ONE THAT APPROVES THIS BILL!!

    • JeffH says:

      They are nothing more than traitorus scum. Get ready to learn a second language. These elected maggots have to be removed from office before our great nation reaches the bowells of poverty.

      • denniso says:

        Dearest jeffH,
        can’t you please try harder,though I know it’s difficult for you, to do more than just call people names..it doesn’t bother me,because you’re saying absolutely NOTHING when all you do is utter smears and near profanities. But for you and your comrades sakes you might actually accomplish something near literate that won’t have others laughing at you. Try it, you might enjoy it and learn something, like thinking!!

      • Dee D says:

        JeffH – May I recommend Chinese as the 2nd language? Since the Cheney Administration borrowed so much from China they already own the bigger % of America.

        • Wayne Keel - V Vet says:

          Clinton made China “Most Favored Nation” and that is where all the junk started coming from. Remember when the Clinton admin let the Chinese have all the Military secrets and nothing was ever done about it?

          • Dee D says:

            Wayne give me some posts to check out. I’ve often wondered why Hillary made so many trips to China.
            NAFA was signed under Clinton’s tenure but it originally Bush Sr’s baby.
            Since Bush Sr could not get it passed it fell to Clinton to complete.

          • JeffH says:

            DeeD, try doing your own research instead of expecting others to do it for you. Sometimes a libby leftist like yourself has to do earn it instead of expecting others to provide it.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dee, Nafta, was originally The North American Accord, which was Presidents Regans, baby, he ran out of time, so then Bush tried to get it passed, ran out of time, so the Republicans in the Clinton Congress, finally passed it.

          • DaveH says:

            I must admit that NAFTA is an oxymoron. Government commissions set up to regulate ‘free trade’.

          • Joe H. says:

            Dee D
            I’m sure it was Bush Sr’s idea to give the missile tech information to China and Clinton thought it was such a good Idea that he carried through on it.Get real!!!

        • eyeswideopen says:

          Dee, Sheldon Adelson, the Republican equal of George Soros, has been making investments for China, and actually lobbying on their behalf. You might be right on the language. He may have already purchased America for them.

        • Joe H. says:

          Dee,
          You’re right, but O-man has done just as much borrowing as Bush in less than one year!!!! He has cut salaries at the auto manufacturing plants by as much as 90% in some cases. Really sounds like capitalism at its best doesn’t it?

          • denniso says:

            joe H..
            If we hadn’t dumped billions into the banks and car co’s to stabilize the economy that WAS spiraling down in free fall, you would’t have the electricity to be typing your myths…we would be struggling to survive a real depression. Then you would scream for impeachment because Obama hadn’t done enough…you will complain about everything he does for the next 7 yrs even if the economy is humming along.
            The only salaries that are cut anywhere near 90% are the ceo’s..are you worried about them? The actual workers made some salary concessions,but pretty minimal.

          • DaveH says:

            Yep, more government is what we need:

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO… You might want to educate yourself about economics before you start goose-stepping to Obama’ Union-payback and redistribution of wealth.
            Any economist that doesn’t goose-step along with you would tell you that however painful those companies going bankrupt would have been, it is the only way to raise from the ashes stronger. It is a well know fact (at least by those that don’t run from the facts…read LIBs) that Government intervention, like what Obama is engaging in and Bush started, will cause the recession to recover more slowly. It happened with FDR and it happening again with Obama. You can’t destroy the free-market fundamental of risk & reward and expect people to engage in the system with the same fervor.

            You obviously have no understanding of Capitalism, or are of the belief that the Government knows better and socialism is good. Either way you need to atleast try to understand the “unintended consequences” of LIBERAL policy…It is harmful to the people, not helpful!

          • denniso says:

            R the O,
            The vast majority of economists AROUND THE WORLD agree that stimulus palns and some bailouts were and are necessary..the entire world that was caught up in the collapse is doing the same things as Bush/Obama to stabilize and recover the economy. In your mind,I guess the whole world is going socialist and following Obama because he’s superman, and no other country can resist his power.
            Your capitalist ‘ferver’ is part of why we’re in this mess.Turn off limbaugh the drug peddler and G Beck..open your ears and mind.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO….Back up your claim with FACT! Show me where other countries are recovering through bailouts! I want hard facts that can be proved.

          • DaveH says:

            Sure, our capitalist fervor caused the bust. Do some reading Denniso. Read Thomoas Sowell’s “The Housing Boom and Bust” or at least read this:

          • Rod the Other says:

            That’s a great book

            AND by the way DENNISO…Thomas Sowell is a black man…Is he racist against Obama too?

          • Joe H. says:

            denniso,
            “if we hadn’t dumped billions….” Yeah that’swhy Ford just posted a profit of a billion dollars for the quarter and they didn’t take a single government dollar!!!!

        • Warrant says:

          Dee D,

          One of the reasons that China would buy US Debt is because they carried a huge trade deficit with for decades. One of the ways the trade deficit could be ballanced out was have China buy our debt in the form of treasury notes. Every body wins (China ballances our ‘trade deficit’ with US, and the US continues to import cheap products for Walmart, and can borrow more money for social programs). Well, the US is now barrowing money in a manner you would never do at home. In fact if you go to ( http://www.usdebtclock.org/ ) you will see a bebt vs. income (Gross Domestic Product [GDP]) that defies reason. And this is before Health Care Reform and the Carbon Tax. The border fense is a basic law and order issue, and sovereignty issue. The Amercian people told their representatives and senators to protect our borders against illegals and terrorist. That program was passed and paid for. Now the fence has come to a halt, with the presidents blessing, and more undocumenteds are comming accros. Cui Bono (who benefits)? Not the American people who do not have enough jobs to go around right now, and with the economic drain taking care of these folks places on the system. Liberal policy shows they line up with citizenry slanted to the ‘international citizen’ persuasion. Conservatives are trying to maintain a democratic republic that at least resembles what our founding fathers intended, and the rest of the world has been trying to emulate for over 100 years. I guess we have been too successful and become too complacent. It’s time for the historicle societal down swing to ballance it all out again.

          The “Cheney Administration”?
          Obama voted FOR every related bill as a representative, and then”sold us down the river” to the tune of $1.5mil in interest DAILY to the Chinese!! (who, for all financial intent and purpose, now OWN us)

          Look for a fully Rep or Ind House and Senate next year!

          If there’s achance in the world of undoing all of this great “change” we must do it before we’re pressing 2 (or even 3) for English!!

      • H.O.Tennant says:

        • Joe H. says:

          Denniso,
          Name one myth I typed!!! He did it and that is the truth! I don’t care who the person is that got their salary cut. It is not constitutional for the president to do it to a private company!!! Especially months after the deal was made. To add terms to the agreement after the deal is made is not legal by any means. Try it yourself and see what happens!

          • Warrant says:

            Joe H.,

            This administration does not seem to care what the law is. Lip service has been paid to Ethics and off they go, in standard Chicago Polotics fasion. If you dissagree with the administrations agenda, they just come after you with threats and intimidation. come to think of it, this sounds a lot like organized labor tactics . . . lets see, Chicago politics and organized labor . . . look at the last 10 minths . . . who go bailed out . . . who’s receiving all the benefits . . . and Who Is Paying For It? After the Free Enterprise System is gone (and the Profit in business is what pays for all of this) dries up, we are toast. Every policy from the administration is anti business. With Small Business being the largest affected portion of the econmy, that will not recover in this economic environment, we find ourselves in a world of hurt. The debt is already way too big (http://www.usdebtclock.org/ ), and that’s not a loaded number. The money supply has grown 120% since January. It takes 24 months for the inflationary trends to take affect. What happens to fixed income folks (read social security on medicare with the proposed medicare cuts comming) when the inevitable inflation hits. Ladies and gentlement, the earth quake has already happened! The TSUNAMI (massive inflation) is coming. it is unavoidable!! Wake up and start putting someone in office that has: a) owned a business , met a payroll, paid business taxes, and understands economics, b) dont let them serve for more than two terms! c) listens to you on a regular basis. That is the only way a Representative based Democratic Republic can function. Otherwise, you have a ruling class, and they only look after themselves in the end.

            Regards,
            Warrant

      • denniso says:

        If the wall/fence doesn’t work, shouldn’t you be pleased that the senate killed more of it? Smugglers go over,through and under it..IT DOESN’T STOP SMUGGLERS ! So be fiscally responsible and put the $$ where it might work.

        • Joe H. says:

          denniso,
          It doesn’t work because the officials don’t have the intestinal fortitude to enforce the laws on the books!! The border patrol arrest and Napolitano orders their release before they even go to court. Then you have the “sanctuary” cities like L.A. and even a little town in Ohio named Painesville! If they know the laws aren’t going to be enforced when they get here, then why stop coming? I want to see a law that specifically states “ILLEGALS NEED NOT APPLY!!!!” Fine EVERY employer handsomely for EACH and EVERY illegal they hire! If the jobs dry up then they will ctop and self deport!! I have nothing against ANY legal immigrant who comes here but the illegals need to go!!!

          • Rod the Other says:

            ILLEGAL ALIENS are parasites….They introduce disease, they suck up social services, they supress our wages, they clog our highway, they make our streets less safe, THEY CONTRIBUTED IN LARGE PART TO THE HOUSING FORECLOSER MESS, they dumb-down our schools, they increase the crime rate, and the mexican illegals beleive that this is there land and won’t to breed us out.
            Our Constitution explicitly states that any person who claims allegance to a foriegn flag and is standing on American soil is in HOSTILE OCCUPATION of that soil and needs to be removed as an enemy to our Union.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Rod, how did they contribute to the foreclosure mess?

          • Rod the Other says:

            EYES…Because they could not provide documentation to substantiate there income, they were one of the largest groups to partake in “NO Document” loans.

            Typical with these loans they give what is called a “stated income”. With that the laborer that is standing outside homedepot whom might make $10,000 to $40,000 per year could state his income to be whatever he wants. Or that 40 years old woman that is taking your order at McDonalds (instead of the 18 to 20 year old that used to have that job) and making minimum wage can say she makes $200,000 a year. When this is combined with the 80/20 interest-only loan that was typical for these credit-unworthy people. They were able to get into a $500,000 house or better. (incase you don’t know what an 80/20 loan is, this economic wiz-kid will fill you in. It is where you borrow 80% of the homes value on a first mortgage, and then back that up with a 20% second loan for your downpayment. In short, it is a 100% mortgaged home over 2 loans. The buyer has no skin in the game and can walk away at anytime with only a damaged credit score and having had cheap housing. But who cares about a bad credit score when it’s not even your social security number you used).

          • Rod the Other says:

            In my above post I left out another VERY important thing that ILLEGAL ALIENS do for us.
            Without them there wouldn’t be an entire under-class of people to steal our identities and completely screwup the lives of countless Americans.

          • denniso says:

            R the O…I’ve seen and read real claptrap before, but you must be literally stufing the whole cake down your mouth in one piece. Give me a freaking break!!’Illegals are parasites and spread disease’. Wow, right out of the Goebbels and Goering manual..scapegoat and demonize your ‘enemy’. Illegals living in $500,000 houses?idiotic and laughable!! Maybe one or two big drug dealers…and they could pay for it anyway. Most illegals scrape by and probably work harder than you do, and pay taxes on everything they buy here. ‘Contributed to the housing collapse’?? Again, WOW!! I have to say it..you aren’t just any old moron/probable racist, you’re a total moron who relishes spreading lies and hate..like I said before, turn off limbaugh who you clearly love like a god.

          • Rod the Other says:

            COMRADE DENNISO….your octal-rectal-linearity knows no end.

            whooping cough was all but erradicated in the US and is seeing massive resurgence in the last 10 years that is easliy corrulated to the rise in illegal immigration.
            Tuberculosis, hepatitis, dengue fever, chagas, and even leprosy are being imported into the U.S. inside the bodies of illegal aliens. Due to the unchecked influx of illegal immigrants border states are seeing a sharp rise in all of these diseases…much more so than NON-border states.

            In California a $500,000 house would be considered the cheap side of town for them. It is easy to coble together a $2,500 to $3,500 mortgage payment for a 5 bedroom house, when it is a “clown-house” and each one of the rooms is rented by a family of 4. They have trouble keeping the payments up though because the house also tends to be a way-stations for the migrant inhabitants! And when they can’t pay their rent they just leave the home-owner stiff and make no payment. I was buying house last year and 7 out of 10 that I looked were in forecloser and had multiple beds per room and very few if anyone in the house spoke English.

            Hide from the truth if you want DENNISO, it’s a fact and I saw it. My girlfriend who also happens to be Hispanic might disagree with your assement of me being a racist. She finds the Illegals even more protestable than I do, because of the way they are denograding her cultural history.

            The reason they work harder than me, if they do, would be because they are ignorant, uneducated and the only work you can get when your that way is Manuel labor. And you have no idea how hard I’ve worked for what I’ve got, no hand outs, and no affirmative action!

            Keep talking your smack and the personal attacks DENNISO…it is the last refuge of the ignorant when they are losing the discussion.

  3. rachel says:

    I hope you voters are happy…we now have NO representation at all. No one who stands up for the will of the American people, who made it abundantly clear that we want our borders closed and protected, AS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CONGRESS, and as they passed a bill to do so. What an absolute bunch of (WORD REMOVED FOR OFFENSIVE CONTENT). VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE.

    • denniso says:

      Rachel,
      you’re not supposed to curse on here…Think about it, no large country in this day and age can hide behind a wall..it simply doesn’t work, so we have spent billions and could spend billions more and still not be totally ‘protected’. Your greatest danger is getting in your car every day and putting your life in the hands of other drivers. Since 9/11, which killed just under 3000 people, we have slaughtered roughly 400,000 men,women and children in car crashes,and maimed another several million..where’s your anger and outrage for that?

      • Rod the Other says:

        DENNISO…Try telling the whole truth. It is a matter of public record that approximately 10,000 US citizens die every YEAR at the hands of ILLEGAL ALIENS. A little over 4,000 per year are the result of drunk-illegal-drivers, and a little under 4,000 per year die as a result of VIOLENT CRIME!

        TAKE A LOOK AT THE BOLOGNAS FAMILY STORY:
        http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/.....11F12H.DTL

        The Bolognas were on Congdon Street in the Excelsior just after 3 p.m. Sunday, driving home from a barbecue in Fairfield, when they inadvertently blocked another car from completing a left turn onto Congdon from Maynard Street, police said.

        The shooting occurred after the elder Bologna backed up and let the car by, police said.

        Tony Bologna, the night shift supervisor at a San Mateo grocery store, and Michael Bologna, a student at the College of San Mateo, were pronounced dead at the scene. Matthew Bologna, who attended Lincoln High School, died Tuesday night at San Francisco General Hospital.

        • denniso says:

          WRONGROD..there are fewer than 20,000 deaths from drunk driving in total..you’re telling us that 25% of those are due to illegals?? don’t think so, since they only make up roughly 5% of the total population. You’re faking #’s again or getting bogus ones from your flaky sites.

          • Rod the Other says:

            …That’s some good math skills you’ve demonstrated, did your indeterminate structions course helpout?

            4,000 out of 20,0000 would be 20% not 25%…and the Illegal population is estimated to be as high as 30,000,000. It’s kind of hard to count those slimey litte bast-a-jiz

          • denniso says:

            Oh boy, Rod…I said fewer than 20,000,it’s probably closer to 15,000, so roughly 25%..the estimates for illegals range from 10 to 20 million..so my point stands.don’t exaggerate for the sake of your specious argument.
            So I mispelled ’structures’, you still don’t know what the course is anyway. If you’re concerned w/ my spelling,you’d better look back at yours. I’ve restrained myself dozzens of times from mocking your grammar and spelling.

          • Rod the Other says:

            “Fewer that 20,000″? 15,000 is a LOT LESS than fewer…It 25% fewer….nice rounding off of the number…Obama’ doing the same then when it comes to talking about how his socialized medicine is paid for.

            We all make spelling mistakes in our haste to post and move on, but mis-spelling a college course you took…quite suspicious.

            Credible souce range from 12mil to 30mil…Don’t try and tell me you can put a finwe point on a group of people that “hide in the shadows”. These estimates come from the amount of social services they consume and NEVER pay for.

            Go ahead and mock if you wish…it hasn’t stopped you before…There are no issues with my grammar, and the spelling is merely haste…You apparently got the point. At least my posts are written by me, I am sure most of yours are just “cut&Paste” from moveon.org, or your previous posts on other sites.

          • denniso says:

            OK Rod..take your estimate of 12 to 30 million..split the difference and use 21 million for illegals. The U.S. has about 310 million people..that means that illegals make up ‘about’ 6.774% of the U.S. population. You stated that illegals kill 4000 Americans/yr..there are ‘about’ 15 to 20,000 drunk driving deaths/yr(many of those are of course the drunk driver himself,not only his victims).Let’s use 20,000 anyway. So your 4,000 dead is 20% of the total.

            You’re trying to have people believe that 6.7% of the population is responsible for 20% of the dead from drunk driving?? If we use my numbers instead it’s 4.839% of the population responsible for 20 to 25% of the deaths. Give it up R. You’re twisting the facts to suit your argument to demonize PEOPLE.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…Your assertion that because illegals ONLY make up anywhere from 6% to 10% of the US population (A sad statistic in and of itself!) they can’t be responsible for 20% to 25% of the deaths caused in drunk driving cause is moronic on it’s face! A real leap of logic. I suppose you believe that the illegals are obeying our drinking and driving laws!? Being that they have demonstrated their disregard for our laws already, by what reasoning would you come to the conclusion that they are obeying this one?

            Here’s a link for you…Can’t wait to hear your refutation:

It would be wildly popular with the American voter base, and that minority vote is not that big compared to the size of the american base.

      • eyeswideopen says:

        Beberoni, somehow money must be involved. Follow the money trail, and you will find the reason. I suspect it is the re-election coming soon. They are all afraid of the minorities, what they don’t get, is that the legal ones don’t want the illegal ones here either. What a mess. We need to vote out everyone, regardless of party affiliation.

        • Dee D says:

          One great big AMEN eyes. We do not really need term limits – if enough voters would do their home work and vote accordingly we can eliminate the scum bags from office. But first everyone must put party line loyalty in the round file and go for the best candidate. If we are wrong then correct it the next time around.

        • denniso says:

          Immigration,legal and illegal has been a fact along the border w/ Mexico for decades. Corporate farmers and slaughter houses and Repubs who wanted to keep wages down were all in favor of it,and it was never really a problem until fairly recently. As the economy in Mexico weakened and drugs became more of a a smuggled product, things got worse…then 9/11 convinced people that terrorists might come across the border. Now Mexico is involved in a real drug war w/ thousands dead and more of the people want to flee to the U.S. It’s a human tragedy and not right to place all the blame on the individual crossers. All that most of them are doing is looking for a better life for their kids. The drug smuggling aspect of the problem is fueled by whom?? American users.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…Don’t tell me whom to blame. I blame the ILLEGALS for stealing the AMERCIAN dream away from true AMERICAN patriots, I blame the Democrats for wanting them here to increase their voting base, I blame the Repubs for seeking illegal cheap labor as a means to battle the extortionist Unions, and I blame peole like you for excuing it.

            They aren’t innocent little victims, they bring their corruption here and seek to take from this nation and send it home to their nation. They are not contributors to our society…THEY ARE PARASITES feeding on a host. As far a Mexican illegals, Mexico actively sends them here as a means of bolstering their welfare program. Welfare payments to Mexican citizens represent their second largest contribution to their GDP.

            I say we put our military on the border and shoot onsite. Or, at least adopt immigration policies no less harsh than MEXICO’ policies. Which happen to be some of the HARSHED OF ANY!

        Beber, President Bush did try to get immigration reformed, but the Congress didn’t want to upset the apple cart.

        • Joe H. says:

          Eyes,
          Bush only tried to reform the immigration laws to let more in and give amnesty to the ones already here. At a time of high unemployment here in the U.S. it is deplorable that we have 12 to 20 million illegals here competing for the few jobs there are! We can’t employ all the American people let alone that many illegals. SEND THEM HOME!!!!

          • Rod the Other says:

            JOE H. We don’t need to send them home. If we just cutoff what they are here for, there will be no reason for those here to stay, or those not here to come.
            STOP THEIR SCHOOLING, MEDICAL SERVICES, WELFARE PAYMENTS, FINE THEM FOR SUSPECT DAYS OF EMPLOYMENT (MAYBE $500 PER DAY?)…Maybe we should confiscate their land just like Mexico did to US citizens about 10 years ago.

      • Joe H. says:

        the reason is we haven’t HAD a Republican party for a few decades. They are ALL RINOs. They wouldn’t know how to read the constitution, much less defend it! We need the Repubs to get back to their conservative roots!!!

      Your anger is misdirected entirely. You never complain about corporate America when it’s actually they who are controling most things. They, with the help of the corporate party, Repubs, have convinced you that the gov’t is the enemy so that you’ll do the dirty work of keeping the gov’t off their backs, not off yours!!

            DaveH..The only MAJOR flaw I see in your discussion with the punch-drinkers is that you are using facts. The only way you can get through to them is to start you statment of with some wild-unsubstantiated-emotional claim. Then once the class-warfare is at a sufficient level you throw out there that the only reason they have to work for a living is because it is all an evil plot set in motion by Ronald Reagan and that he is the reason that all the pets they had as a child died…once you do this, you’ve proven yourself to be a level-headed reasoned-thinker that just wants to stick-it to the man, which is what he deserves.

        • denniso says:

          DaveH, Everyone knows that the Repub party almost exclusively represents the big biz class. It’s true that they have convinced many regular people to join up, thinking they are on their side. It’s one of the great American myths, that the modern Repub party represents working people. Why is it almost totally Dems that talk of decent wages for workers, that real,working people might be able to actually live on?

          • DaveH says:

            Wages are the business of only 2 entities – the owners of the companies and the potential employees – a voluntary agreement. Of course the government leaders want to get involved in the wage business. It’s called buying votes. When wages are set artificially high by the force of government, many people end up out of jobs because they’ve been priced out of the market. So far the rulers haven’t figured out how to force companies to hire people they don’t want at prices they don’t want to pay. After the wages have been set artificially high, then the companies pass the costs on to their consumers and the Liberals complain about the high cost of goods and want the government to do something about that. The government happily complies because they are for anything that builds their business (the government business) larger.
            Big Government is the problem, not the solution.

          • denniso says:

            DaveH, Your philosophy would take us back 100 yrs when we had 10 yr olds slaving away in poverty..women weren’t allowed to have good jobs if any..no safety laws protected workers in dangerous occuptions..employers could fire a woman who wouldn’t sleep w/ the boss…on and on. Gov’t along w/ organized workers fought to change things so you and others have a modicum of rights in the workplace and you can usually get paid a livable salary..corporations resisted every advance toward a more civil and free workplace and w/o the help of some in gov’t it never would have happened. Gov’t can be too big and too intrusive and bad, but it isn’t always. It’s very simplistic to think that all gov’t is bad and all individuals and businesses are good.

          • DaveH says:

            What is simplistic is to not recognize that the Bigger the government gets the more problems there are. It has been growing dramatically for 60 years now. And look at all the whining we have to endure from you Liberals. When do you guys throw in the towel? After the collapse? It will be a little late then.

          • Joe H. says:

            Denniso,
            For someone that claims to be a history buff. You need to read a little closer. The changes in working conditions and wages were a direct result of the people standing up for themselves, not the government. My Father was one of those first strikers in Detroit and all the government did was bust heads and arrest people. Federal and local alike. The common workers were the ones that took the stitches, casts and splints, and went without for weeks and weeks, not the government nor the union as there wasn’t one yet. The unions are crooked, the Government now only enforces what the people gained by themselves. You say you support the constitution, but you support a party that demands an open vote for or against the union. Nothing like influencing the elections and voters, Right?
            Look at the coal mines. do you think the government had anything to do with bettering the conditions in the mines? It was the people!!! The government, just like now, could give a flying flip about your welfare. Until you can’t pay your taxes. Oh that’s right they don’t care as much then!! Your not working for a boss could have something to do with your erroneous outlook on the unions and the government!!!

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…
            “Why is it almost totally Dems that talk of decent wages for workers, that real,working people might be able to actually live on?”

            Because only those that beleive a 40 year old that works at McDonalds flipping burgers, or asking “do you want fries with that” should make enough money to raise a family and buy a house would follow a Democrat.

            Here’s an economic lesson for you DENNISO. Do some research on “Supply & Demand” and the “Point of Equalibrium”. Your “living wage” sentiment is farce at best and no less than Marxism. Why should someone make a wage that exceeds the added value that they contribute? If the pool of supply for a given skill is large, then the remuneration for that skill is lowered…simply economics!

            Uh oh…There I go with facts again…I hope your head doesn’t hurt…

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…I will admit that the Unions had a major postive effect on workers-rights, but it wasn’t the Unions themselves that made those improvements it was the people on the front lines. The Unions them selves are the most corrupt form of big biz!
            With that said, the time for Unions has gone. They stopped helping the workers more than themselves sometime back in the 60’s. The Unions nowadays are nothing more than extortion networks and legalized-organized crime. They HURT their members FAR MORE than they help…Research the story of Bethlehem steel, a classic case of UNION GREED collapsing a company with insatiable demands…and you might want to research it on an unbiased site…Liberal sites will always tend to gloss over it with “a failure of management”.

      • Rod the Other says:

        Denniso…Yes, the Repubs want the iilegal vote as well. If you were as well informed as you pretend to be, you would hear the Repub-scum talking about “…appealing to the Latino vote”..Their all a bunch of whores.

        You need to check your facts, DENNISO. Most of the major CORP. contributors (ie big corporations), give money to the DEMOCRATIC PARTY (CAN YOU SAY TAMMANY HALL)…It is a known fact to educated people.
        And by the way over 80% of US Corps. are those small mom&pop shops. But you wouldn’t know that when you get your information from the LEFTY-ECHO chambers (MSN, CNN, ABC, and so on)…Or did you get that from Moveon.org?

        Rather than playing follow the most venomous-liberal-leader, you should ask yourself…”…did my last job come from somebody who had money and was taking a risk to make more, and should my next job come from a poor-person or the Gov.

            You never speak with good will, you never present facts, and you are the first to resort to name calling and intimidation tactics. I am very familiar with your ILK and you sicken me.

            I am growing tired of you…Others on this site though we would be able to have some good informatiive debate….It has only been me presenting facts and you calling me names…I can play the name calling game as well FOOL.

You can’t tell anyone how to comment here and we sane people have a duty to try to inject some reason into your ranting..we do it for OUR COUNTRY!!! By the way, as a little aside. A laid off miner just now walked in with his wife and baby selling jerkey to try to hold on to his house..this evil liberal bought a bag and I don’t even it the stuff. Can I send him to see you guys for help??

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNSIO…Yeah send him my way…I’ll give him a job (teach him to fish), instead of just making a pitty purchase (giving him a fish). If your so sympathetic, why did you take the bag of jerky your not going to eat (or it)? The truely charitable thing to do would have been to give the jerky to his child which may need something to eat? But, I’m sure you feel good about yourself and the couple of pennies the guy made off of your buy (You know the profit that you LIBs seem to hate. You do realize that he had to buy that jerky before he sold it to you and the entire selling price was not his to keep…Right?).

            AS ALONG AS YOU FEEL GOOD RIGHT DENNISO….The facts don’t really matter, just feelings huh?

          • Rod the Other says:

            oh and DENNISO…DO you know why that miner is laid off?
            It’s because of shame environmental efforts that people like Obama’ are pushing (can you say CAP & TRADE). The coal mining industry is being shut down for NO GOOD REASON!
            But I guess I just don’t understand how the LIBs are benefitting people like that miner by shutting industry down.

      As for the senate, it should be obvious by now that when a group does not deliver on its promises or its oaths, then that group is utterly USELESS and must be replaced.
      As for a fence, America’s overpaid whores in the senate never had any intentions of building one. Our border states must do the job. And when those scum in the senate complain, it will be time to remind them that the Revolutionary War was started by people who were not being properly represented or protected. Not only do they need a reminder. They need to see proof that the universe does not revolve around their sorry posteriors. They can be replaced.

What concerns me is the idea that this supreme court may not have enough integrity or moral courage to do to comrade obama what it did to FDR.
            When the supreme court no longer has the integrity to do its job, Americans will have to 1) rise up or 2) surrender.
            So, what would YOU do in the event that the supreme court acts the same way as comrade obama? That day may not be far off.

Corporations are controling America at this point. Each and every congressman is taking Corporated money to get re-elected, therefore each and every decision is biased towards the donor. Not only do we need to remove all the incumbents, we need to revise the campaign election process and the contribution regulation. I must give John McCain credit, he did try years ago, with Kennedy, to get campaign reform done, didn’t want any private donations allowed, wanted everyone to get same amount, paid for by states. He got very little for his effort. Soft money was addressed. Congress will never vote to limit themselves in anyway…be it donations, or term limits. We need to remove all incumbents except those serving their first term.

            Perhaps you need to stop and consider that 65% or more of the people in the U.S. work for one of those big corps you screech about. When was the last time you ever got a job from a poor person? Those corps are the only ones with the money to create jobs. The government you tout so well doesn’t create anything except headaches and excess baggage!! Oh, and deficits!!!!

          • DaveH says:

            Those Big Corporations don’t have the power of Force. When is the last time you were ever forced to buy a product or service? Only Big Government has the power of Force. If indeed there are corporations that take advantage of us (no doubt there are), they have only been able to achieve that with the force of government to back them up.
            Big Government is the problem not the solution.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dave, you truly are an idiot, Last time any of us had to buy health insurance, we had to purchase from a monopoly. Of course you wouldn’t know as you are going to have us underwrite your hospital bill, since you won’t get insurance.

          • Joe H. says:

            Eyes,
            YOU need to look up the definition of monopoly. A mono poly is when one company has total control over the price and availability of a product because they are the only one offering it. You know like what the government used to allow the gas and power companies to have. They broke the full monopoly and removed the controls and what happened? Prices went up over night. Why? Because the government had controled the prices at such a false price for so long that the companies had to charge more to make a profit! That was the real monopoly in the U.S. and it was condoned by the government. Let any other company get that kind of control on any product and see how fast the government steps in!

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dear Joe, here where I live, the utilities are controled by one company. The water is owned by the county, the cable company, just now got one other competitor in the area, We only have the choice of two major health insurance companies, home owners insurance companies have all pulled out of state, we now only have a state funded insurance company, our electric company is charging us in advance for a nuclear plant that will take almost 15 years to build. We are paying for something that we might not even be alive to use. Darling monopolies abound in this country and big business keeps it that way. And the politicians vote to keep it that way. Meanwhile, the water is being bottled by companies who are not even paying us a fee, while we are experiencing a water shortage for the past three years. How do they get away with that? Paying our legislators. Wake up and smell the greed. In this country right now, the question should be: Does it help the people or does it help the Corporations/Congressmen? Easy question.

          • Joe H. says:

            Eyes,
            If you check, the state probably restricted those other companies from working in your state. That is what the true conservatives are trying to get rid of, the favored vendor lists in individual states. We want ALL insurance companies of good reputation to be able to compete in every state, then you will have true competition and prices will drop! Just like the gas wars of the 70s. the stations competed for business and the price dropped. I saw gas in Columbus Ga. for 24.9 Cents a gallon in 1971. If you had read my post a little closer, you would have seen that I SAID the electricity, gas, water, all utilities were the true monopolies and they were supported by the government, in your case the state government!

      • Joe H. says:

        the fence would only cost materials if they did it right. All they have to do is get serious about arresting the illegals and make them build it under the supervision of guards. No work only half rations of food! Get Joe Arapo out there and turn him loose to build it and I guarantee it will be built and the labor will be free!!!

I find it very telling how you never respond with a logical comment, or present your point of view with fact. If we could all hear you talking I’m sure it would be very calm and reassuring…and patronizing…like your so smart and you just want the dumb people to know how dumb they are so you can “re-educate” them.
        Is there any chance that you are a community organizer that recieved some of that 2 billion dollars or so that Obama just gave to ACORN in the last 2 months? Your comments are so familiar, just like they came straight from the whitehouse press corp….Do you know Anita Dunn?

        • eyeswideopen says:

          Rod, you need to check out the amount of money that the Repubs gave to Acorn. Becareful, cause they were the ones who increased it.

          • Rod the Other says:

            COME ON EYES… I am well aware of who gave money to ACORN. It is just ONE MORE reason I think Bush was a poor president. But lets be clear about the claim that “BUSH GAVE THEM MONEY”. Your intent here is to build buy-in to the belief the Bush “actively” supported ACORN. You know that the truth is more like if Bush didn’t allow OBAMA’ & Barney Franks requests for FED money for ACORN Bush would have been labled a racist that doesn’t want minorities to have a chance at the American dream…and it came with the biproduct for the whore-Repubs to reach out for the Latino vote.

            Don’t be so simple-minded EYES. These political-whores are always looking to “juice” people while telling them “I’m here to help you”. I could careless what ANY politician has to say, I want to see action…and looking at their voting record is a descent place to start.

        Should this become a reality, and the threat is very real, all red blooded Americans must rise up and do what is necessary to protect the very freedoms that our forefathers intended. If it comes to an armed confrontation then so be it. Freedom means much more to me than living under a One World rule or a facist/marxist/socialist country seretly controlled by the rich and financially influential of such groups as the Bilderberg Group, The Order of the Illuminati and A New World Order.

          • JeffH says:

            The conspiracy theory is brought up because it is necessary to bring up, although those that choose to ignore it will, and those that don’t might look into it further. Of course, I realize that might be too simple an explanation for your miniscule mind to comprehend.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Jeff, Who said it changed your statement? I just wondered why, after you had been enlightened on the subject, you brought it up again.

            You need to take care of your anger… You are over reacting. I haven’t even challenged you, yet.

            Their main goal is to disrupt and fill the board with chaff.
            The readers will see that clearly. Don’t let them get to you.

          • denniso says:

            DaveH, sorry, I’ve never seen ‘rules for radicals’. All I’m trying to do is counter some of your most ridiculous points of view w/ rational statements of fact and reality. No grand plan here,DaveH.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dave, you think every thing is a conspiracy, maybe you should open your mind to the fact, that not all of us can be conned into thinking that the Libertarian party can solve all our problems. Hell, they couldn’t make it work in New Zealand as recently as the 90’s. Your party has been up and running since 1971 and you don’t even have over a million members, tells me Americans aren’t crazy for anarchy anytime soon.

          • DaveH says:

            As usual EyesWideShut is attacking the Libertarian Party. You may wonder why? Well, because she thinks she is tweaking me. I have put her misinformation down so many times that she must follow me around like a harpy – pick, pick, pick. But the irony here is that since she has lost her credibility with most members of this board, she is really the best advertisement for the Libertarian Party that I could ask for. This, folks, is what you can expect from those like EyesWideShut who want to decide how your money is spent and what your choices should be.
            Oh, and in reply to her New Zealand example which she plagiarized from Normal Liberal (she will try anything to spite me):

          • Rod the Other says:

            EYES… There are 2 major flaws with you assertion.
            First: that was in new Zealan, not here.
            Second: Your continual railing against Anarchy and support of Big Gov screams volumes about how little you know about what the founding father set forth for this nation.
            The founding Fathers wanted to establish a form of Government that was as least intrusive as possible to do so they knew they had to get as close to an Anarchist state without actually being Anarchists.
            On a continum Big Gov. would be on one side and Anarchy would be on the other. The first set of documents that tried to establish our independence was one step away from anarchy and they were called the Fedalist papers. That form of GOV failed because it was to close to anarchy. The next set of documents was one step further away from Anarchy and it is called the Constituion.
            Our founding fathers knew that the bigger GOV is the more intrusive it is and the more liberty it takes from the people. But, at the same time, they wanted a set of rules for all to abide by that would guarantee personal liberty, and prevent the strong from opressing the weak. To bolster that desire they incorporated the free-market system thereby empowering the citizens the ability to patronize business that was fair and ostresize business that was not.
            Our country is based on an Anarchy-light sentiment! Fair & Free!

    Outrageous! Vote them all out of office!

  11. denniso says:

    How many of you really believe that a fence will keep out determined people,especially terrorists? Are we going to spend billions of $$ a year to maintain it, after the billions to build it? What do you propose to do about the 3000 mile Canadian border..a terrorist can simply walk across at almost any point along it. Suspected terrorists have come across already..How many more tens of billions to build and maintain a fence there? Get real,people!! We can’t protect ourselves by hiding behind fences and walls.
    If we did that, then what do you propose for the 1000’s of miles of coast line..a floating wall??

    • JeffH says:

      Then maybe you would prefer a well trained armed citizens militia take up positions along our borders to protect us from the illegals, terrorists and the crime they bring to this country. It seems the government isn’t too interested in protecting our borders from either one.

      • denniso says:

        We have thousands of border patrol on the border,trained in weapon use and law enforcement..have you ever lived near the border?? We don’t need armed,untrained, hooligans like you running amuck shooting each other in the foot and impeding real law enforcement. Chill out jeffH !!

        • JeffH says:

          That is how your weak little mind has perceived what I said. Go back and read it again, although I doubt you would understand it a second or third time. Our Border Patrol is undermanned and underarmed and could use some real help. Unfortunately Washington refuses to make a real commitment to protect our borders, just as they have refused to enforce our immigration laws regarding illegals.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Jeff, I don’t want a “well trained armed citizen militia” trying to enforce the border. Start with that and where will you stop? This country was not designed to have little militias enforcing the laws.

          • JeffH says:

            Then who will enforce the laws? Big government is showing all of the world that they have no intentions of enforcing these laws.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Well, you all complained that Obama was doing too many things at once, What do you want him to do now? Maybe you should have submitted a priority list, as you can’t seem to agree on what is urgent. Economy, border control,drugs, war, Nasa, immigration, education, energy, taxes, healthcare, which one is most important to you? He’s doing too much, then it’s he isn’t doing enough. LOL.

            I might add this country was not designed to become a country ruled by tyranny. I would suggest you make up your mind just where you stand, because you cannot straddle the fence on this one. You are either for or against TYRANNY, and whether you would admit it or not, Obama represents TYRANNY!

            Jeff. that is really easy. I support the Constitution, We are a Nation of Laws, not Men. I will always support the law, and not the radicals running around as self proclaimed sherrifs. So who do you support the vigilantes or the Constitution? Let’s see which side of the line you are walking. You are always quoting the Constitution, so now the nitty gritty becomes real.

Where is Obama a tyrant?? Trying to save the economy so you might keep your job? Trying to do the right thing w/ the wars that Bush started and couldn’t finish after 100’s of billions of $$ and tens of thousands of dead? GIVE ME A BREAK!!

            Jeff, unlike you, I will not be a traitor, I will support the Constitution, and if necessary, I will fight people like you, who think an armed militia is legal. You are a 60 somehthing, wanna be, who is just itching to kill his fellow Americans, and will use any excuse to do so. You need to read the Constitution prior to taking up arms against this country.

          • JeffH says:

            eyeswideopen, this might be my only chance to “repent and serve my country”. I may have the opportunity to protect freedom and The Constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic.

          • Rod the Other says:

            EYES…An “Armed Militia” is not only legal but demanded by our Constitution as a means of ensuring that the GOV will never become a Tyranny.

            EYES…You claim to be familiar with the work of Jefferson. If that was true, you wouldn’t have made such an OBSURD statement. Let me share some of his work with you.

            Selected quotes by Jefferson about ‘rebellion’:

            “What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? LET THEM TAKE ARMS. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.” –Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356

            “The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.” –Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.

            “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [i.e., securing inherent and inalienable rights, with powers derived from the consent of the governed], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” –Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

            “We think experience has proved it safer for the mass of individuals composing the society to reserve to themselves personally the exercise of all rightful powers to which they are competent and to delegate those to which they are not competent to deputies named and removable for unfaithful conduct by themselves immediately.” –Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:487

            AND DON’T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH. I know your a LIB and can’t resist, but I knew exactly what I said and what I meant. IT IS YOUR OWN DIRTY MIND THAT TOOK IT TO BE DIRTY.

          • denniso says:

Not only won’t you accept responsibility for a foul comment, you make yourself look even worse by attacking Kathleen because she calls you a ‘terrible’ name for your comment..jerk.Thin skinned??

          • DaveH says:

            The Bush Blame Game will grow old with anybody who is paying attention to current events. The Liberal Mantra that the Democrats inherited this mess will grow old quickly. After all, the Democrats have controlled Congress since 2007. Congress passes the Spending Bills. Bush was a Fiscal Liberal which made it even easier for the Democrats to precipitate the Bust.

          • eyeswideopen says:

He is a grown man, who didn’t serve his country, making cheap shoddy statements about those that did, and threatening to forcefully remove the President and Congress?

            Ewo claims to support the constitution, yet she must have skipped that part. Surely someone with eyes wide open would not have made this oversight (pun intented), so therefore we must assume her brain is still on dial up.

  12. Sonny says:

    In just seven states it cost $26 billion dollars for illegal aliens per year, Texas $4.7 billion, California $9 billion, New York $5.1 billion, Illinois $3.5 billion, Florida 1.7 billion, Arizona $1.3 billion and Pennsylvania $728 million. Education, bi-lingual teachers, free school lunches,incarceration, time in local jail awaiting trail, lawyers, approximately 12 to 20 million jobs that American citizens need and yet our politicians are gutless to do anything about it. They cater to the Hispanic vote LULAC la Razza and other organizations who make a lot of noise. They don’t listen to the will of the people or the Constitution they swore to uphold. It is the Federal governments job to secure and protect our borders, they have failed this miserabley. Please remember this in 2010 and 2012. The link Bob provided at http://www.senate.gov/legislative is a good way to see how and what your Senator voted on. Obama wants to legalize these illegal aliens and give them full government entitlements. He and his Czars are socialist and he has a large following in congress. Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Snowe, Gene Green to name just a few, Please vote these people out of office while we still have a country left.

    • JeffH says:

      Sonny, thanks for the info. I have provided the link and the info in the past. It has to be continually repeated for those that aren’t on these sites regularly.

    • denniso says:

      Sonny,
      your numbers appear to be fake or GREATLY EXAGERATED! I don’t buy them. And it seems that you think nearly everyone but you and your cronies here is a socialist..WOW !! Is your fringe group shrinking as we speak?? Be careful, before you know it,it’ll be only you against all the big, bad SOCIALISTS outside your house.

      • RoBoTech says:

        WOW, you ARE living in Wonderland. Say hi to the MAd HAtter for me.

      • JeffH says:

        All your weak little mind has to do is just a little research. You could find out you might be mistaken, again.

      • DaveH says:

        Once again, no facts presented by Denniso, just the Liberal technique of ridicule.

        • DaveH says:

          Personally, my jury is out as to whether or not the illegals boost our economy or drain it.
          I think the main point to consider here is that they are Illegal!
          Since there are laws (right or wrong) that define how they can enter the country legally then we need to either eliminate them (the laws) or enforce them. EyesWide should support that since she has said
          “We are a Nation of Laws”

          • eyeswideopen says:

            You sound just like the Leaders of the Reich. Brown shirts arise, the Libertarians want to take over!!!

          • Michael J. says:

            DaveH, They break the law as soon as they cross the border. They work for cash, send their earnings back to Mexico. Do not pay taxes on these earnings. Sometimes sneak across to have their anchor babies or get medical help they cannot get at home. Drive drunk without a license or auto insurance. Oh, I forgot, what was the question?

          • DaveH says:

            As usual, the Harpy attacks anything I say. I’m talking about EyesWideShut.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DaveH…Some points to consider about whether the illegals help or hurt.
            The Illegals that come here are the poorest of the poor, they are the least educated, and the only contribution they make is labor which is the most common contribution that can be made by any pool of workers and is therefore a act of “dumping” by the countries that they hail from.

            The pew hispanic center came out with a report about 2 years (maybe 3) ago that cross referenced the education level with the amount of GOV services certain Demographics consume. The report concluded that: those with an education that graduated high school, or went on to further education, contributed something like $9 of taxes for every $1 of GOV services they consumed. Those with less-than a high school eduction consumed $3 of GOV services for every $1 of taxes they contributed. And for those that never even made it out of Jr. High they consumed much more than $3 per $1 of tax contribution.

            Most Illegal Aliens have less-than a 6th grade education (by American standards). Many can not read or write (in their native language, let alone English) well enough to function in a 1st world society like ours.
            The reason they can become American citizens is because they have NOTHING to offer us and in large part become a drain on any society that accepts them.

            THESE ARE FACTS, BUT IM SURE DENNISO, EYES, & NORM will dismiss these statements as mere racism.

          • denniso says:

            Rod…Wrong again!!The Mexicans and South Americans who come here are not,”the poorest of the poor”. The poorest can’t begin to afford the fees charged by guides and smugglers to get across.
            Now you appear to be denigrating labor as well..most Americans won’t do the backbreaking work that they do..picking crops,slaughtering pigs for hot dog,digging ditches,building walls,cleaning your motel room..all for minimal $$ and no security or rights.

          • JeffH says:

            duh!nniso, can you dig your burrough any deeper? Do you know what a coyote is? Your comment holds no merit once again.
            http://www.worldsalaries.org/mexico.shtml
            Average Salary in Mexico
            All Sectors average income PPP $ 548 Employees, 2005. 4,018 pesos

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO….Your echo-chamber PABLUM is not going to work here! That “jobs Americans won’t do” line didn’t work when Bush was selling it and it DEFINATELY is not going to work with you selling it!

            First off …A typical hourly wage of a laborer is $10/hr. Most Americans have learned, through their education, that it is better to work smarter rather than harder and will only accept such low paying work when they either have NO SKILLS (ie…it’s one of their first jobs), or the job is not that demanding and their just needing to “get by”.
            They have no problem flipping burgers at McDonalds for minimum wage because that job is usually only a stopping point until they get enough skill to move on to a better paying job, a job that probably requires them to be LITERATE in English!
            By the way, how many people here remember when you went to a fast food joint like McDonalds and it was a teenager, or young college student that was asking “do you want fries with that”? Now you go into these places and what do you see….30 to 40 year old women (rarely men) that BARELY speak English asking “do you want fries with that”. These used to be ENTRY level jobs…you know where KIDS went to learn something about the working world, but now they are occupied by unskilled social program receipients that think they should be paid a “living wage”!

            SECONDLY…The wages of many of these jobs is being SUPPRESSED because ILLEGALS will come here and accept the low pay (AND WE SHOULD BE GUTTING ANY EMPLOYER THAT HIRES THEM….THEY ARE ILLEGAL! AND IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNFAIR COMPETITON!) and force out American workers that can get that same pay somewhere else and not have to stand in the HOT sun all day.
            Again the typical wage of a farm laborer is around $10/hr. And the typical family spends around $300 per year on the fruits and vegetables that they buy. If you were to double the wage from $10/hr to $20/hr the cost of those frutis & veggies would increase to about $320/yr. And at $20 per hour you’d have to have a stick to beat off all of the AMERICANs that would want those jobs! The cost component of the labor is about 10%, doubling the wages would have such a minimal effect on the price we pay at the market and the Farmers could pass it straight through and I would pay it HAPPILY….IF IT MEANS GETTING RID OF THE ILLEGALS, LETS TRIPLE THE WAGE to $30/hr…We would be FAR better off for it!

          • Joe H. says:

            Denniso
            A meat packing plant in Ga was raided last year and over 60 illegals were arrested. the average wage there was 12.00 an hour. Now I admit you wouldn’t live like a king on that, but all of the jobs were filled within a week by U.S. citizens. Still say they only do the work that our people won’t do?

          • denniso says:

            Rto, We agree again, raise wages for working people..see, if we only try a little even two people who hate each other can find agreement on some things. Only problem is you’ll have to vote for Dems and liberals to raise the min wage to a point that’ll work for your scheme..no ‘conservatives’ will be on your side, but I will.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…The free-market is more than appropriate to fix this problem. We don’t need to raise minimum wage, or to have more GOV involvement. What we need is to remove the parasites from the system and let the market work it out.

            You claim to have a degree in ECON (that was ECON as in ecomonics right? not ECOM as in E-commerce?), if that was/is the case you would understand supply & demand and the point of equalibrium. Raising the minimum wage would do nothing more than hurt those whom have the fewest skills….. and you proport to want to help those people. LIB LIES HURT the people!!!

    • Rod the Other says:

      SONNY…I want to add something to your post. As far as organization like La Razza (by the way, La Razza means “the race”), many people do not know that their montra is. “All for the race, nothing for the rest”. Does that sound like a paradigm that we want to include in our melting pot?

      • denniso says:

        WrongRod..That is not their ‘mantra’,you’re making things up again.

        • Rod the Other says:

          DENNISO…Spread you deception somewhere else…It’s not working here.

          I’VE SEEN IT ON TEE-SHIRTS AT THE “ILLEGAL-IMMIGRATION” RALLIES HERE IN California…I’ve heard them chant it, they make no attempt to hide it!…Typically you will hear them shorten it at rallies and chant, “la Razza”.

          FOOL….QUISLING!

          • denniso says:

            WRONGROD..wrong again! The name of the organization is ‘la razza’,and like you said,means, ‘the race’. Their mantra,spelled w/ two a’s, is NOT ,’for the race and no one else’, or whatever silly phrase you wrote.

        • Rod the Other says:

          In the 20th century two groups have claimed the title la razza.

          The phrase “All for the Race, none for the Rest” seems to be a translation of “Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada”, which translates “For the Race, everything, outside the Race, nothing”.This phrase appears in El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán . The Plan Espiritual de Aztlán (”Spiritual Plan of Aztlán”) is a manifesto advocating Chicano nationalism and self-determination for Mexican Americans. It was adopted by the First National Chicano Liberation Youth Conference, a March 1969 convention hosted by Rodolfo Gonzales’s Crusade for Justice in Denver, Colorado. This was a group that evolved in to M.E.Ch.A. (Spanish: Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán”) is a student organization that seeks to promote Chicano unity and empowerment through education and political action, but is often strident in its tone, provactive in positions and offensive in its language.
          M.E.Ch.A. has gone through many evolutions, and although it has never been directly associated with the NCLR, it shares many of the same members.

          Hence, you will often hear this chant at immigration rallies!

        Further more…He gave a special pass to the drug smuggler for his testamony. That pass gave him the “RIGHT” to pass over the border without being searched, and that the smuggler used that pass to bring at least 3 truck loads of drugs into this country.

    I agree, this bill ends the waste of taxpayers money. Now lets get those Bradley tanks on our boarders with a ton of ordinances and use them all before they go stale. Lobbing a couple hundred thousand shells at the illegal immigrants crossing our boarders is good military training for any soldier before they are shipped over to Afghanastan. Or is the President going to get cold feet on that also.

    • JeffH says:

      Could charge admission and help ease the taxpayers debt with the proceeds. Might even raise, naw, the politicians would want their graft out of it. Sorry, bad idea. I’d pay to pull the trigger though. LOL!

    • Michael J. says:

      Robert, I think 12 – 20 million illegals could build that fence in a weekend. all it would cost is an aircraft carrier full of rice and beans. The ultimate irony would be to have them build the fence that will keep them out.
      Ok,OK, now for the truth. The reason the government is dragging their feet on any border fence, north or south by this administration or the previous one is because it would ruin their plans for the North American Union. They could better use that money to fence off the ten districts that the three countries will be carved up into after Obama disarms us all. And they do not enforce imigration laws now because they wish for us to become better aquainted with our new neighbors.

  15. RoBoTech says:

    Only way to get them to listen is send them home in 2010.
    But, DON’T stop calling everyday. Emailing everyday. Faxing, every day.

    Stand on the corner across the street from your Pols offices with a sign as often as you can. Go to Tea Parties or ANY townhall/rally to voice your protest. Main thing is, DO NOT just do NOTHING!
    Posting on a blog does nothing but eat up bandwidth. Sitting on the couch screaming at the TV does nothing. And NOT voting does nothing to change the Country. Vote Principle and Country over Party. Voting for a alphabetical letter is what brought us to this point. People hated Bush so bad, and related him to that R after the name on the ballot, yet didn’t bother to research the man with the D. Biggest mistake the USA electorate ever made.

  16. Wayne Keel - V Vet says:

    Voting next year may as well be next century. It won’t matter either way, because that will be too late for the USA. The only way we can save our country is to go and take it back before they destroy it completely and they will do it before next November. All the politicians need to go and a third party needs to be put in place by the American public. The Constitution needs to be followed verbatim and put the country back in God’s name. That’s the only way we can salvage our nation. Otherwise we’re looking at being nuked in the next couple of years and both coast will burn. After that, all of South America will move in and take our places with or without a fence. The Anti-Christ will be here next year to bring it all about! Think I’m nuts? Go ahead and laugh, but you’ll remember this when it happens. Read the “Bible Codes” and see for yourselves, but God says we can change it only by taking our nation back before next year in his name.

          • denniso says:

            JeffH,
            No one has mentioned the use of violence except the 2 trolls? V Vet finished his rant with, ‘lock and load’. I imagine you can figure out what that means if you can see around your name calling.

          • JeffH says:

            You have already figured out what he means and your usual comment in response is nothing but a smart A$$ question as usual. Even a fish doesn’t take the bait when it doesn’t smell right, thus whatever you throw out doesn’t smell right. You are either naive or just plain stupid.

          • JeffH says:

            denniso, you TROLL. If you don’t like the name calling, you are free to leave.

If you die, will your wife and children pay your debt? Sure I believe that they will pay out of pocket to make sure your debt is paid. Show me a family with no insurance, who will pay a large medical debt especially when the person died. Sure, happens everyday. You are using a form of force on the general public, by not carrying medical insurance.

            If we could have one site post that didn’t have one of the radicals of the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian party make some threat against the President of the United States of America, legally elected and seated, I would be in total wonderment of what in the heck has happened, certainly not a day without hate at this site.

            Maybe all the people that are being represented under the Republican name should really start their own parties, run their own candidates and take responsibilty for their own failures. The strangest bedfellows are the Libertarians and Repubs, Libs are all about self and self interest and the Conservatives are supposed to be about Christ and selfless actions. Talk about diametrically opposed. The Conservatives even give up their position on abortion and gays to get the Libs to help them.

            2) Those who don’t or think they never will be feeding at the government trough. They are immoral as well as not too bright.

          • DaveH says:

            It’s interesting that EyesWide says she wants freedom of choice, but trashes a party that would offer that freedom and many more. The only beef I can figure that she has with them is that they expect individual responsibility. So the only conclusion I can reach is that her main platform is to take other peoples’ money. Let’s have some Greed with that Lack of Morality.

            Dave, Wayne the vet. are you kidding me? Yep, you are blind also.

            Libertarians. Let me quote Bryan Caplan, a Libertarian economist.
            “IN A MODERN DEMOCRACY, NOT ONLY CAN A LIBERTARIAN BE ELITIST, A LIBERTARIAN HAS TO BE ELITIST. TO BE A LIBERTARIAN IN A MODERN DEOMCRACY IS TO SAY THAT NEALY 300 MILLION ARE WRONG AND A HANDFUL OF NAY-SAYERS ARE RIGHT” He didn’t even bother to try and include the Republican party in with the nay-sayers. Of course, everyone knows that your party just kinda uses the Repubs, as you don’t have enough members to even get on the ballots. Dave, you are an elitist, and an atheist, which is not what the majority of this country believes in. There are over 100 million Christians in this country, who will not allow anarchy to happen.

          • DaveH says:

            Denniso,
            The Liberals I have known have proven to be much more self-centered than the Libertarians I have known.
            The difference between Liberals and Libertarians is that the Libertarians respect the property of others (they aren’t thieves) and they respect the freedom of others to determine their own lives.

          • DaveH says:

            If the masses had the answer, we wouldn’t be arguing on this board about the misfortunate people, because most of us would be rich.

          • DaveH says:

            And EyesWideShut,
            Anyone who reads these comments with an open mind knows that you are just the board Harpy.

          • DaveH says:

            Boardmembers,
            How many of you have had your religious beliefs attacked by me (the atheist) and how many of you have had your religious beliefs attacked by EyesWideOpen?

          • DaveH says:

            It has always amazed me that their are people like EyesWideOpen who will profess to be religious and then proceed to break religious morals like the one about “thou shalt not steal”.
            How big does the gang have to be before taking somebody’s money turns from theft to morality? If a gang of three walks up to you and says “give us your wallet”, is that theft? Of course! What if it’s a democratic gang of three and they take a vote? Is it no longer theft? What if the gang is 100 Million strong and they vote to take your money? Is it suddenly moral because the numbers are large?

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dave, what’s the matter, couldn’t you keep a coherent thought long enough, or did you just want to keep coming back. Didn’t like the quote from the Libertarian Bryan Caplan???? Why not? He states pretty clearly that all libertarians must be elitists. Here is more of his thoughts. ‘” the insurmountable evidence in favor of voter irrationality. It still remains the Achilles heel of democratic government. The problem is not mere lack of information, it is that voters badly interpret and judge the information they do have”
            Elitist Dave. Yes, you are.

          • DaveH says:

            The difference is consistency. I am consistently pro-freedom. You are consistently pro-anything that you think will tweak me or the other freedom-lovers on this board. You my dear (or son) are nothing more than an agitator. Like a little Chihuahua – all bark and no bite.
            Whoever is paying you to disrupt this board is sure not getting his money’s worth. But then, what employer who hires a Liberal does get his money’s worth?

          • JeffH says:

            DaveH, OUCH! I only hope I never have to experiance that kind of pain.

  17. Lester Boone says:

    Does anyone know what’s going on in our government? I’m concerned. Is anyone afraid of the possible one World Government that may be coming? How about the Amero? I have lots of questions.

    I worked for the Government and it was sweet. I’m sorry!!! we’re in trouble.

    By the way, I enjoy all of the comments. Lets get out.

    Lester

    • Joe H. says:

      Lester
      If you want to get an idea of what goes on in our government then by all means read a book titled “Puzzle Palace”. You’ll find that phone tapping by the government has been going on a lot longer than the patriot act. Every government agency has a budget right? Don’t bet on it!!! Read it. Humor me then come back and tell me what you think of our government then!!!!

    • DaveH says:

      Lester,
      There are a lot of Political forces that are indeed pushing for that. Primarily they are either current leaders or wannabes. Many common people are enthralled with the idea only because it seems so romantic. But in practice, there is no way it would work. Evidence this Board. We can’t even carry on some discussions without extreme acrimony. How in the world (excuse the pun) could we expect to get along in a one-size-fits-all world government? Only the leaders would benefit.

    • DaveH says:

      I have written to my Representatives many times requesting that they get us out of the United Nations. Could I get some help?

      • eyeswideopen says:

        Yes, let’s isolate ourselves from the world. I think that we have learned that we need to get along with other countries if we expect them to help us when we need it. Last time we had to blackmail some countries, but when you call people names like evil doers, some do get offended.

        • denniso says:

          DaveH and others can’t learn from history, even history as recent as the past 8 yrs. Bush essentially followed their advice and look at the great results. The whole world hated us,would hardly help us where needed, and TWO failed wars..read some recent history guys and dolls.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO..you keep refering to history like you know something about it. You’ve proven time and time again that you take poorly cited and unsubstantiated comments out of context to make a non-existent point.

            Who wrote the history your referring to Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews and his tingly-leg? I bet the publisher was MSNBC!

            Please stop with your ill-informed propaganda. If you are a real patriot you owe it to your nation to speak the truth or shut up.

            “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day”.

            “He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors”….was Jefferson speaking of you Denniso? your mind is filled with falsehood & errors!

        • Rod the Other says:

          EYES…Since when are we going “hat in hand” begging for the help of other countries?
          The only case you MAY be able to point to is ALL of the borrowing from China we’ve done in the last 9 months to pay for Obama’ socialist spending.

          • denniso says:

            Bush spent 1/2 his time in office begging the world to help us in the 2 wars that he couldn’t finish and whose costs have helped bankrupt us
            and helped push the country into the crash.

          • Rod the Other says:

            try again nut, no begging took place looking for allies to fight the wars.
            Obama tried to appoligze his way into support and even bowed to an Arab king and got nothing.
            At least Bush got support were he sought it.

      • DaveH says:

        Keep talking Liberals. The Readers can see that you have no clue what you are talking about. History has shown that Socialism is a failure everywhere that it has been fully implemented. And Libertarians don’t support the US as being the World’s Policemen. You Liberals can’t even get along with most of the rest of us on the board and you are foolish enough to think a one-size-fits-all world government is the solution?

        • denniso says:

          Who’s pushing socialism?? If you think that a reasonably progressive tax system is socialism than you’re really off the wall.

          • DaveH says:

            We are now, and have been for some time, a nanny state. And under Obama that condition is growing faster than ever.
            Progressive Taxes?
            In 2007, the top 1 percent of tax returns paid 40.4 percent of all federal individual income taxes and earned 22.8 percent of adjusted gross income. The bottom 50 percent paid 3 percent of the federal income taxes. That’s not progressive, it’s income redistribution (theft).
            http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dave, little more info for you. tax rate from 1951 thru 1963 was at 91% for salaries over 400k. 1965 changed to 70% for 200k. 1981 69.125% over 215,400. 1991 31% over 82,150. 1993 39.6 % for 89,150. 1994 39.6 for over 250,000. 2003 35% for over 311,950.
            Dave as you can see the wealthy have continued to see their rates go down and the salary range go up. The wealthy in this country are enjoying the best tax rates in our history. Thank you George Bush. Someone making 22,000 paying 28% and another paying 35% ( 7% more) on $311,950 is a little disportionate. But I am for a flat tax that Huckabee proposed and the party didn’t like that idea. They have too many luxury items that would get slammed,lol

          • DaveH says:

            What would you say if you went to the grocery store and they asked for your income statement before they decided what prices you would have to pay? If the percentage of tax just remained the same the rich would still be paying much more than the average citizen. Do they get extra government for all that extra money? Sorry, bad example, they wouldn’t want any extra. Me neither.
            Without the rich who, unlike Obama, really know how to manage a company, many of the citizens would be out of work (more than even now under Obama). I know – they would be so happy under Socialism. Everybody then would be all equal, equally poor that is. They wouldn’t have to see their rich neighbors and their “conspicuous consumption”. Ah, the politics of envy. What would Castro do without them?

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO & EYES…You guys are so full of it it’s astonishing.

            Just because you put “reasonable” in front of the word progresive doesn’t make it so! LIBS talk all day long about leveling the playing field. How is one group paying 70% and anothe paying NONE level. IT IS REDISTRIBUTION PLAIN AND CLEAR!

          • Rod the Other says:

            EYES… I find it funny how you gloss over the fact that the lowering of the taxes is what lead to higher pay and more revenue into the GOV. The lessening of the burden of taxation is EXACTLY what lead to that growth.
            Furthermore, the person that cut those taxes was Reagan. And as soon as the revenue to the GOV went up the LIBs could’t start spending it soon enough.
            You may want to take a look at an economic paradigm called the Laffer-curve.
            MAN! You guys refuse to put anything in context…I guess it is the only way you can sway the ignorant into your liberal thinking.

          • denniso says:

            Roddy, ever heard of the term, disposable income? Apply that to the tax rates and see what you get. Can you figure it out??

          • Rod the Other says:

            yeah and I suppose all you lefties see any income as disposable and is therefore open to 100% taxation…Sell your wares elsewhere, I’m not buying…If I earned it, I decide where it goes.

      • denniso says:

        Your right eyes,
        Most of these people just hate obama for no rational reason. Are they so livid because they are sore losers..he won and McCain lost, by 7% or so. One of the largest Dem victories since Roosevelt.
        Obama is trying hard to save this country and it’s capitalistic economy,much as Roosevelt did. Socialism was on the march globally 100 yrs ago and the depression made our country ripe for a move to it. Roosevelt instituted some progams to put people to work and keep some out of extreme poverty, old and young. The right wing back then fought him tooth and nail just like they are fighting Obama now, w/cries of communist,socialist!!
        By the way, the great crash of ‘29 came about entirely from abuses of,what?? the capitalist system itself..there was essentially no gov’t involvement in the economy then,so the gov’t can’t be blamed for it.
        Capitalism w/o a sufficient degree of control and regulation eventually devours itself in a feeding frenzy of greed and gluttony. It’s a bit like a law of physics..it is a law of capitalism.

        • You don’t understand your economics or history at all.Roosevelt exacerbated the depression we got into when we went off of the gold standard and started taxing and punishing businesses to death.Roosevelt just continued the mess when he came to the White House.I would suggest you start by reading Ayn Rand, anything by Ayn Rand, who lived in Russia after the communist revolution.The starvation and living conditions were appalling but you’ll have to find this out for yourself.Either that or try visiting a country like Zimbabwe or North Korea.American public schools don’t teach econ or history any more and people like yourself are the result of this.

          • denniso says:

            Donna,
            sorry, but I’ve read the story teller Rand..I’ve got a degree in econ, and likely read more history than you, especially about the depression and Roosevelt. I know your party line is to blame R for the depression, it derived from your history teacher,Limbaugh..it’s amazing to me that 1/2 intelligent people can actually twist and warp real history to fit their political slant. But, that’s the ‘new world order’, I guess.

          • JeffH says:

            denniso, your so called “degree in econ” might be your biggest enemy. Again, you have demonstrated a propensity to discredit a commentor without substance to back up your accusations.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Donna, Ayn Rand’ theories have now been proven wrong, with the present situation proving that. Even Alan Greenspan who was in her group called the, Collective, admited that letting the market run free without certain regulations does not mean will correct itself. A true free market will implode in on itself, as it will become a monopoly that will end up shutting out competition. Anti-trust laws were enacted to prevent that type of situation, however, presently the insurance companies are an example of how they didn’t protect us, those laws have been used against the public for the past 60 years. Find it hard to believe that nobody ever reviewed the situation.

          • DaveH says:

            Name a single example of the Monopoly that you proclaim will exist under a free market, Ms. Double-Speaker.
            The only monopolies that have existed in our country have been those protected by the force of government.

          • Joe H. says:

            dennie,
            Did you ever stop to consider that Donna H. might have a degree in history or even ECONOMICS? Maybe a PHD or MASTERS!!! You aren’t the only one with a college education here. Or are you so puffed up as to think you are or yours is the only degree that matters. As far as your engineering degree, I’ve seen more than one engineer put something into a blueprint that won’t work and say “it HAS to, it worked on paper!!” There are even ones that have designed vehicles with 5 wheels and that doesn’t count the steering wheel. Economics? How many people with degrees in economics have gone bankrupt? How many without them are self made millionaires? Go try to impress somebody else with your degree as I’ve been there, done that and GOT THE T-SHIRT!!!!

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…Just because you claim in ECON doesn’t make you an authority. Your posts here would suggest you are either lyeing, or the degree of which you speak is form Occidental or Berkely and centers on redistributive policy.
            I would like to know what your GPA was and were you went.

            Or maybe your one of those economist that beleive Communism is good because it works out on paper and completely disregard the fact the when implemented it is a downward death spiral.

            Have you ever heard of the “tragedy of the commons”? Probably not….Look it up.

          • denniso says:

            eyes, I see,so to speak. You know, most Americans never learn much of anything about economics, and then they rant and moan about our economy and it’s problems of which they KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! It’s more than frustrating and detrimental to society when they flood gullible minds w/ pure pap. I wish they would stick to something they know,like rocket science,physics,genetics,engineering,history,music,
            art,architecture,meterology…Oh, sorry, those may be out of their reach too.

          • DaveH says:

            Denniso,
            The fact that you have a degree in Economics (if you really do) just accentuates your ignorance. If you indeed had any real education in economics you would know that the heavily regulated countries do poorly and the economically free countries do well.
            It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the rewards of free-enterprise gives people an incentive to work hard, and the stifling regulations of a Socialist system have the opposite effect.
            Without the labor of people we would have nothing.

          • denniso says:

            DaveH..we agree!! w/o the labor of workers there would be no corporations that now own most of our gov’t.

          • DaveH says:

            Denniso,
            Don’t confuse Hopes and Dreams with intelligence or knowledge.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            Dave, you think that government is force. How do you think they get that force? Yep, it is from the corporations paying to make sure their own interests are served. Congressmen accept donations from corportions who in turn expect the congressmen to vote in their favor when any issue comes up that may hurt or help them. It is easy to understand Dave, Corporations are FORCE. So you are partically correct in your thinking.

          • Joe H. says:

            Eyes,
            Yes, by all means, bring on Rod. If the couple of posts I’ve seen here tonight are any indication, I like the way the he thinks. Rod, if you are out here still, stick around!!!!!!

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…I find your above post in this thread very telling of your liberal-ellitism. Without even spending one second looking into my posts you’ve passed judgement on me.
            It is hard proof that you DO NOT go into a debate with the intent of weighing the merits of anybody else point of view. You are so sure that your point of view is so superior that you can debase and invalidate others with not so much as even hearing them and having the slightest bit of understanding of their thoughts.

            It makes it very clear how you can leave the posts you do. Your posts have no facts, no support, and no logic that can stand up to honest debate. You feel that you are so superior to other that you need not qualify your statement, becase afterall they came from you so therefore they must be fact. YOUR A FOOL…Now go scratch your beard while riding in yor limousine and shipping chardonay….you shill.

            Hey EYES…I feel sorry for the reality that awaits you. Your blind following of king-Denniso is going to lead you into a place you don’t want to be. I hope like I’ve never hoped before that this country does not end up in another civil war. But if it does you better choose your side based on facts, not the fiction your leaders are pushing…DENNISO is probably on the LIBs payroll and will leave you for dead.

          • Rod the Other says:

            EYES…How do you think those intersts are served? It’s by trial lawyers and the vast majority of trial lawyers are either paidoff and in alligence to the Liberals in GOV, or they are the liberals in GOV.

            Answer one question. How come there are now laws on the books retricting lawyers, particularly trial lawyers, from bring about frivilous lawsiuts? Because this is the private militia of the Democratic party. and that is the number one reason why there are more millionaires in the Democractic party than in any other party combined!

        • Joe H. says:

          All bow to the great and educated fool Denniso. He is better educated, knows more about everything and has more Experience in all things important. Were you there during the great depression? If not then you only know peoples interpretation of the conditions then. Did you live from hand to mouth during the worst time in American history? Have you ever had to worry where your next meal was going to come from? Were you even around during the recession of 1980? Have you even gotten laid off with three children and only maybe 5 or 600 dollars between you and what ever? Have you ever even defended this great nation? If so Prove it.

      • DaveH says:

        Obama has taken the Federal Government way beyond the limitations as imposed by the Constitution which he swore to uphold. He is making a strong effort to stifle our freedom of speech and our freedom to bear arms. And he is trying to impose Nationalized Health Care which is definitely UnConstitutional. The Federal Government does not have the power to force us to buy a product. Read the Constitution for yourself, if you have doubts:

        • denniso says:

          DaveH,
          Obama is not going to take your guns away..there are already restrictions on gun rights,just like all other rights. The mentally ill aren’t supposed to be able to buy a gun, convicted felons can’t,etc. Would you be surprised to know that I agree w/ you on forcing everyone to purchase private health ins. You’re right that the Feds shouldn’t have the power to make us buy anything from a private company..I’ve been sending emails and comments all over to mainstream people, Grassley etc, saying exactly that. But that is a different issue than universal healthcare..it doesn’t have to be done like even the repubs are suggesting w/ ‘mandates’. People in the richest country in history should have access to affordable healthcare. It shouldn’t bankrupt people and the country as it is now doing.

          • eyeswideopen says:

            denniso, anti-trust laws have made and kept a monopoly for the Insurance companies. There is no competition and Wall Street will punish us, if we try to get out from underneath the healthcare mob. I don’t believe in forcing anyone to purchase anything either. This whole insurance game is a scam and the Corporate owners will not relinquish their stranglehold on us. Every Congressman who has taken any insurance money should be removed from office and should not be allowed to vote on this bill which sucks. However, if it does pass, then the rest of us won’t have to be picking up the tab, for people who don’t have insurance and dump those costs into the system, making our premiums go ever higher.

          • denniso says:

            Well said Eyes..I agree that health ins through giant ins co’s is basically a huge fraud. A large part of the problem is the obscenely soaring costs of health care in general and where is the $$ going. Sure a lot goes to working people in the health system..much goes to multi million salaries of the top dogs in the giant corporations.
            I’ve said that if we are forced to buy health ins from private co’s I might choose jail instead. Not a fun thought,but maybe some of these hotheads here will put down their guns and join me there in a fight for principle.

            As I’ve told Eyes many times Denniso, if you think the insurance companies are ripping you off don’t buy any insurance.
            Even better, EyesWideShut, yourself and the other whining Liberals are free to take a shot at running your own insurance companies and health care companies. You could then show us your compassion for others by keeping your prices low. Put your monies where your mouths are. Of course you won’t take me up on that because you know you are just spouting hot air.

            DENNISO…GOING bankrupt because of healthcare According to Obamas claim of someone going bankrupt every 30 seconds, that would mean that every year aprx 1 million people go bankrupt because of healthcare costs. This would mean that most if not all of the bankrupcies are healthcare related. I find this claim to be fraudlent on its face.

            Besides, would aprx 1/3 of a % of the population going bankrupt from healthcare costs justify taking away a system that over 80% of the entire population like and approve of? I don’t think so…It is the LIBs engaging in fear tactics, once again, and then projecting that one the Repubs to influence the simple-minded (I’m looking at you EYES & NORM).

          • Rod the Other says:

            I find it funny how these LIBS decry the “soaring cost of healthcare” and blame insurance COs. but disregard the positive effect that portability would have on the industry. I don’t know how LIBs like DENNISO can claim to be educated in economics and make these statements.

            Here’s your chance to prove you know something about ECON DENNISO. Our healthcare costs are raising at a higher rate than other nations because, as Americans, we are “first movers”.
            What is a First Mover?
            &
            Why would they pay higher prices than secondary & tertiary movers?

          • DaveH says:

            Rod,
            Most, if not all, of the outrageous healthcare costs are a result of Big Government. If they really wanted to fix healthcare they would get the government out of it and empower the consumer.
            But it’s not really about healthcare. It’s about growing government larger and more powerful. The leaders benefit, the followers don’t.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DaveH…I am still waiting for DENNSIO THE GRAND DECIDER to respond to my post.

Eric Holder, an Obama appointee, has made it very clear what his intentions are. Again, you might have to read and believe something you might not like. Forgot, denniso is a gun hater also!

          • denniso says:

            Also engineering..but I don’t talk it up because an engineering degree is a pretty narrow one..lends to narrow minded thinking.

          • DaveH says:

            Then Denniso,
            You are smart enough to research the concept of ‘economic freedom’. Articles abound. Wake up and quit sniffing Eyes’ tracks.

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…You don’t have any degrees and youv’e proven it with your above post.
            A person educated as an Engineer would not have their thinking narrowed! It would be influenced to think in a “systems” perspective.

            And the great OZ has been exposed…The curtain has been seen behind!

          • denniso says:

            Rod the Otter,
            I’m afraid I didn’t study systems engineering..only things like indeterminate structions and mechanics of deformable bodies..I don’t claim that I can’t think, only that an engineering degree by itself is very limiting and tends toward narrow mindedness. Got it??

          • Rod the Other says:

            NO I dont “got it”…the only academics associated with engineering that would narrow ones thoughts would be SOCIAL engineering as far as I can see.
            And it is funny that you cant even spell you course of study correctly, you did mean indeterminate STRUCTURES right?
            I suppose you weren’t at the top of your class…

          Dave, using your logic, that means Medicare is unconstitutional. Let’s see you start supporting a repeal of that government run program. You won’t because every Republican on this site, loves their government run Medicare. Just ask Jeff, and he will tell you. The topic of Obama trying to take away our guns, has been exhausted on this site, and he hasn’t proposed any bill to do that… another lie you are supporting. You epitomize the conspiracy dittoheads. You only promote the things that make your elitist values the object of your concern. You want this country to fail, so that your elitist Libertarian party can swoop in and gain control. Sorry buddy,Americans are smarter than that. I don’t think any of them go to bed at night praying for anarchy.

          • JeffH says:

            You are a true threat to the security of this nation. Re read your rants traitor. I paid into my Medicare and am still paying for it. It is my choice, not the choice of Obama, Pelosi, Bachus or Reid or this government. I wasn’t forced or fined. It was my choice.
            Does anything that is going on in the government right now bother you in the least? You say gun control is a dead issue? Ha! You are truley delerious! You should crawl back in your hole you rodent!

          • Rod the Other says:

            Barack Obama on Gun Control :

            Hale DeMar, a 52-year-old Wilmette resident, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor violations for shooting, in the shoulder and leg, a burglar who broke into his home not once, but twice. Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against DeMar.
            In March 2004, the Illinois Senate passed Senate Bill 2165, a law introduced in response to DeMar’s case, with provisions designed to assert a right of citizens to protect themselves against home invasions, such that self-defense requirements would be viewed to take precedence over local ordinances against handgun possession. The measure passed the Illinois Senate by a vote of 38-20. Barack Obama was one of the 20 state senators voting against the measure.

            Governor Rod Blagojevich vetoed the bill. On Nov. 9, 2004, the Illinois Senate voted 40-18 to override Blagojevich’s veto. Again, Obama acted against the bill.

            On Nov. 17, the Illinois House voted overwhelmingly, 85-30, to override the governor’s veto and Senate Bill 2165 became law.

            FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban
            Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. Obama responded, “No, my writing wasn’t on that particular questionnaire. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns.”
            Actually, Obama’s writing was on the 1996 document, which was filed when Obama was running for the Illinois state Senate. A Chicago nonprofit, Independent Voters of Illinois, had this question, and Obama took hard line:

            35. Do you support state legislation to:
            a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
            b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
            c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.

            Obama’s campaign said, “Sen. Obama didn’t fill out these state Senate questionnaires–a staffer did–and there are several answers that didn’t reflect his views then or now. He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire, but some answers didn’t reflect his views.”

  20. Tom Hough says:

    I got a job on the border last winter as an archaeology monitor. I’d done surveys but never done monitoring before. When I got there I found that all I was there for was to watch people work. I was on an Indian Reservation and I had 2 Indians watching me so that I wouldn’t take artifacts. They were getting government money too to watch me watch people work. The fence was metal posts with a single rail. Depending on how high the rail was set the choice was do you crawl under or step over. The fence is great to slow down a major armour invasion but is an expensive waiste for what it is for. An electronic survellience system and properly placed towers and guard stations are still needed. The cost has been several million dollars a mile and probably needs as much spent per mile as what has already been spent for it to be effective.

    • Joe H. says:

      Tom,
      I hate to tell you, but the money for the entire fence has already been set aside. Pelousy and Dingy Harry have just been doing a good job of stopping the outlay of the moneys. Also I have seen pictures of the finished portions of the fence and it is nothing like what you describe.
      If we put the illegals to hard labor when they are caught and put them to work building the fence, how often do you think they are going to take the chance of being caught again? Like I said, put Joe Arapo out there with them and I guarantee it will be built and they WILL think twice before they re-offend!!!!

    • Rod the Other says:

      I support the wall in theory, but it really can’t work. We need to replace the wall with electronic sensors, guard post towers that are within direct-line sight of each other (maybe a mile apart), and armed military personel manning those towers that have the authority to shoot if they are threatened. Once they aprihend the border-jumpers they hand them over to border patrol for incarceration in hard labor camps….put them on lage treadmills and have them create electricity for the US citizens!

      • denniso says:

        RTO..
        I wonder, you’ve done such an excellent design job for your tower scenario,have you also worked out a rough cost estimate for your genius plan?? or does money not matter because it’s about ’security’? Are you going to do the 3000 mile Canadian border too? Let’s see, maybe 4500 miles,a tower per mile = 4500 towers x 5 million/tower comes to about 23 billion $..then about 4 men(can women be part of your plan?)per tower = 20,000 men/women at $ 100,000/yr = about another 2 billion/yr..then we need roads and powerlines built to all these towers..my rough guess is 100 billion $ plus annual maintenance costs for those.
        We still need women/men on the ground between the towers and chasing the illegals around and carting them away to your hard labor camps. Another 20,000 at 100,000/yr( bennefits included),so another 2 billion/yr. Now for the costs of your prison camp(didn’t Hitler and Stalin do something similar?). Let’s guess that a prison camp or camps large enough to hold thousands of crossers and the staff to guard and feed and clothe them at maybe 50 billion construction cost and 5 billion/yr to operate. Grand total for your whiz plan?? a few hundred billion to build and tens of billions/yr to operate and maintain..not too bad, right? Uh oh, we still have a few thousand miles of coast line to do..I wonder, should we raise taxes or devalue our currency to afford this? Help!!

      • Rod the Other says:

        YOUR A FOOL….$5mil per tower…what are you building vacation homes for your liberl congress people?

        A tower every mile…why would you build towers in the desert where no illegal seeks to cross?

        $23Billion??? that’s some good math from an ENGINEER!…aahh but what is over stating by a mere $500,000,000. It’s just tax dollars right?

        The state of California spends over $12,000,000,000 per year on Illegals. We could start there for a yearly budget and would be saving 10 times that once the cost is spread across all states?

        FOOL!

    and now, anyone can sneak in and live without fear, if caught, not punished,just sent back to Mexico or other places and keep on returning.

          Just curious..didn’t we steal, at the point of a cannon,about 1/2 of Mexico 150yrs ago just because we wanted it and because it contains trillions of $$ in natural resources?? Is that theft or does it not matter because it happened before you were born??
          You really have a foul mouth that you’re directing at actual people.

          • Joe H. says:

            Yes and the SPANISH stole it from the Incas and Indios before that. What’s your point? There is no such thing as a pure bred Mexican. They are a mixture of Spanish and Indian!

          • Rod the Other says:

            DENNISO…150 years ago Mexico had no claim to this land. Mexico didn’t even want it until they saw we did. Our Nation is older than Mexico by about 50+ years and we expanded into western territories because we saw opportunity in the west. Nothing was stole at cannon point.
            Take a look at what happened in Texas. The Mexican GOV invited Americans to settle the land. AND once they began to transfor it into a livable place the Mexican GOV decided they were going to confiscate everything they promised to the settlers….It just so happens that they got their butts handed to them for going back on their word!

            AND ILLEGALS ARE PARASITES. they come to this country to feed off of a host just like parasites….giving nothing and taking what they want and leaving waste in their wake!

      Joe H., the thought process of our representatives has never been clearer that now. America has always been considered a leader of the free world. Americans have always cherished their freedom. Freedom in America has been eroding as more and more people become wholly dependent for governments support. This administration has taken advantage of the weakest and promised an “equal distribution” of wealth. Governmen runHealth Care is the “Feature Presentation” to our loss of freedom and a complete intrusive government takeover of our freedoms and our lives, and is uconstitutional. This administration intent is to ignore the Constitution as it only stands in the way of the goals of total government rule.
      Our only hope is to keep the pressure on our representatives and don’t give up. In the end, I hope that, we can all make a differance and make our forefathers proud of their accomplishments.
