Interesting fact:

" 4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate > (stock and mutual fund losses); > 5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;"

Wow. I didn't know Americans have lost twice as much on Stocks and Mutual Funds than equity in their homes. Cool fact. You don't hear much about these losses, just about everyone being foreclosed on.

Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.

Yes, please forward this to Republicans, too. Especially forward it to John Sidney McPanama III, the Republican that co sponsored the recent amnesty bill. And forward it to GW, who revived the recent amnesty bill by standing in front of the microphone and said, "we've got to convince the American people that this (amnesty) bill is the rhat thang to do."

Forward to all Ronald Reagan supporters also; he's the prez that signed the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986 which granted amnesty to a couple million illegal border crossers. Look at how many new illegal border crossers there are now since he signed that thing.


If everything can be blamed on Democrats today, then why don't Republicans blame the terrorist attacks that happened on 9/11 on George W. Bush? He was in office 8 months before the attack. That must be one of those inconvenient truths.

btw: I see a lot of links above using CNN as a source. I thought CNN was part of the vast left wing liberal media conspiracy against the Republicans. I like Lou Dobbs. I don't like Glenn Beck. Both have CNN conservative shows.

California Telephone Poll


The latest telephone poll taken by the California Governor's office asked whether people who live in California think illegal immigration is a serious problem:


29% of respondents answered: 'Yes, it is a serious problem.'


71% of respondents answered:'No es una problema seriosa

Some people will do anything to get elected!

If you're going to post something someone spammed you on your hotmail account at least re-format the garbage...

I'm not arguing your ridiculous chain letter... I wasn't even commenting on the content..

But.. quite frankly, It's hard to debate a mid-20's kid with no heart and thinks they know how the world works in all their infinite wisdom..

go back to watching Rushbo, Slanthead, and O'Lielly and tow the line they keep spoon-feeding you..

Eventually, we all grow up and make decisions on our own without having someone telling us how to think..

All I ask is that you take some pride in the garbage you post... but then again, it may just be a reflection of the one who posted it..

I make sure to remove the >'s next time. But thanks for confirming my Churchill quote... Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains. - Winston Churchill You're a liberal aren't you sandslinger... you're one of those naive folks who thinks that your age is the sole and defining factor on your ability to make decisions. I'm not your average 20 something. I ran my own business when I was 15 and never received handouts. Because I grew up without the silver spoon, "we never discipline our children" mentality," I have learned to grown up and not have the stupid liberal entitlement mentality that so many seem to have young and old. How do you like your liberal media koolaid ? NBC, CBS, CNN, etc....

*Yawn*...

wow, I'm proud of you... would you like me to bake you a cake now? Maybe an "e-pat" on the back?? send me your email addy and I'll shoot ya an "atta-boy" ecard..

we can into the various experiences we had in our lives... I assure you that yours does not hold a candle to what I've done, where I've been, and the difference I have made in the lives of others.. and honestly I don't gives a rat's butt what you, or pretty much anyone, has done... we all come from different paths and that is what makes us who we are... You're proud to come up from where you were.. and I could honestly care less how proud you are..

.. about 99% of the gibberish you just posted neither relates to me, nor pertains to me.. I'm fairly certain most of the people who read what I post know where I stand on things.. I'm not a "Lie-beral" and I'm not a "CONservative".. My name is Shane, and I am me... and the only viewpoint that I care about is.. well.. mine...

Like I said.. I could care less about your views and half of the gibberish you post up here.. most of the time is just rehashed neo-con crap I've already heard... just do us all a favor and the next time you want to post up chain letters.. just make sure their legible and somewhat coherent..

How could you say it doesn't effect you AZSandSlinger?

You don't pay taxes?

You don't have children or grandchildren that go to an overcrowded school or have had to wait in an emergency room for too long?

You don't own a home or or know anyone that is struggling with the economy or the losses in the housing market?

You or someone you know haven't been a victim or crime, at the hands of someone that should probably be in jail, but our jails are overcrowded because of the illegals?

I find it hard to believe these facts don't apply to you. Maybe wait until after your afternoon nap before posting on here next time.

Reagan, jh, if you read some of his previous posts and note the avatar his claim to fame is military service in time of the invasion of that somewhat defenseless country in the Middle East.

An attitude of arrogance prevails, discounting the millions of our forefathers who fought real wars to keep our liberty alive and protected. 

At least when he got home no one was yelling baby killer at him.

Oh no! whatever will I do? someone thinks I'm arrogant? I might lose 10 seconds of sleep tonight...

discredit my service all you want.. getting shot at is getting shot at.. no matter where you are..

..and I'm sure the Vet's and Active duty folks who served and are currently serving in the Middle East would love to hear how much you support them...

wonder if his arrogance is coming from the fact that he got shot at...notice he never said wounded...no purple heart here...or the fact that he fought in a war that so far has produced nothing and lasted longer than WWII?

reminds me of that song,  War! What are we fighting for?  Absolutely nothin!

This is dejavu all over again.  Why can we not learn from our mistakes?  Vietnam=Irag
