US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reportedly said in Annapolis this week that her childhood in the segregated South had helped her to understand the suffering on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“I know what its like to hear that you can’t use a certain road or pass through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian. I know what it is like to feel discriminated against and powerless,” Rice told a closed meeting of Arab and Israeli representatives, according to the Dutch representative at the summit, Franz Timmermans.

“Like Israelis, I understand what it’s like to go to sleep not knowing if you will be hurt in an explosion, the feeling of terror walking around your own neighborhood, or walking to your house of prayer,” Timmermans quoted Rice as saying, the Washington Post reported.

Rice described her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, during the era of segregation and the killing of four young girls in a bombing at a Baptist church in 1963. She reportedly said the bombing, which killed one of her classmates, helps her understand the fear of terrorism felt by Israelis.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Condi is such a disappointment, even more so than the usual “we are the world” fools that inhabit the state department. How can someone with a Doctorate be so stupid? I really thought she was more intelligent than that.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reportedly said in Annapolis this week that her childhood in the segregated South had helped her to understand the suffering on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“I know what its like to hear that you can’t use a certain road or pass through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian.

Condi, what you experinced was racism. What these folks are experiencing is a rational response to terrorism. If the Palestinians swore off violence, this would end. The fact that you are incapable of understanding this scares the hell out of me.
Being black and the discrimination against the blacks is not even close to a bunch of terrorists and gypsies that were kicked out of every middle east country for violence and other crimes. Arafat got kicked out of Jordan in 1974 and 27,000 of his people were killed in Jordan. They go into Israel and call themselves Palestinians and you feel sorry for the terrorists. God said he would help those that help Israel and destroy those that go against Israel.

Rice described her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, during the era of segregation and the killing of four young girls in a bombing at a Baptist church in 1963. She reportedly said the bombing, which killed one of her classmates, helps her understand the fear of terrorism felt by Israelis.

Then she should know that the Iraeli fear is differenct than the Palestinian fear. Every Israeli has been threatened. Only Palestinian terrorists have been threatened. Every single Israeli has to fear for their life.The Palestinians have sworn to erase Israel from the map. Israel has never stated it would do the same with the Palestinina areas.
Condi Rice tried to find common ground with the terrorists so as to push the peace agenda along…thought she was smarter than that…now she just sounds like a decibel challenged Al Sharpton.
A similar comment was reported when she was in Jerusalem a few weeks ago in which she reflected on her youth, and compared Abbas to Martin Luther King. The other half of the analogy was left unsaid, I suppose Sharon is George Wallace. Only a couple sources as it was said at a reception, but it got some press, mostly negative, questioning her neutrality. She hasn’t done her credibility as a neutral party any good with these off topic pronouncements.
Personal Becomes Political for Condoleezza Rice

Laboring under a false analogy from her childhood
Israel Natioinal News

“For Dr. Rice, the struggle of the Palestinians is analogous to that of the African-Americans for civil rights and she identifies with the Palestinians. She recalled what it Juxtaposition of the African-American campaign for civil rights and the Palestinian (armed) struggle seems strange.meant to travel in segregated buses as a little girl in Alabama. She also compared the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, to Reverend Martin Luther King, because, in her mind, both were committed to peace. According to reporter Aluf Benn, Rice views Abbas as committed to the struggle for Palestinian independence and, like Martin Luther King, opposed to terror and violence (Haaretz, October 16, 2007). “

It seems that Gay Keith, the Clinton plant, was not a Brigadier General and served only in the reserves.

I ( by David Horowitz ) received this note from retired Brigadier General William Becker:

“IN SPITE OF MY CURRENT DISTRACTIONS AT HOME I AM FORCED TO ENTER THE PUBLIC ARENA TO EXPRESS MY OUTRAGE AT THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN DEBATE AS MANAGED BY CNN. GAY KEITH IS NOT A BRIGADIER GENERAL. HE IS NOT EVEN AN ACTIVE DUTY RETIRED ARMY OFFICER. HE SPENT HIS YEARS AS A RESERVIST SOLELY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MILITARY BUREAUCRACY. HIS BIO IS PUBLISHED IN THE GAY ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO VOIDING THE “DON’T ASK DON’T TELL” POLICY.
FOR DETAILS. YOU MUST NOTE THAT KERR WAS RETIRED FROM THE INACTIVE ARMY RESERVES IN THE GRADE OF COLONEL. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW YEARS SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY AS A LIEUTENANT HIS ENTIRE SERVICE WAS IN THE RESERVES IN CALIFORNIA. HE WAS PLACED IN RETIRED RESERVE STATUS WITH THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD RESERVES AND PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL IN THAT FEDERALLY UNRECOGNIZED STATUS.
THIS IS CONSIDERED AN “HONORARY” TITLE SIMILAR TO THE PHD AWARDED BY UNIVERSITIES AS HONORARIUM. WE WOULD NEVER REFER TO SUCH AWARDEES AS “DOCTOR”. IT IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY THAT HE WAS A GRADUATE OF UC BERKELEY AND SERVED AS AN INSTRUCTOR IN ACADEMIA. HE HAS NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE DURING HIS 43 YEARS OF “SERVICE” AND IT IS A DISGRACE FOR HIM TO BE ASSOCIATED BY THE MEDIA WITH THE ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY!!!!
THANKS FOR LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF WRATH OF THIS OLD MILITARY AVIATOR. BRIGADIER GENERAL BILL BECKER UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, RETIRED COMBAT VETERAN WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
General Kerr is a “California General” the way Colonel Sanders was a “Kentucky Colonel”.
This is how low the left will go, there is nothing they will not do, or say to push their agenda on the rest of us, on America and the world. They are dangerous to our country and this person Keith is a good example of how little conscience they have.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2007 – Army and Navy drummers, buglers and cheerleaders stormed the halls of the Pentagon over the past two days, rallying or roiling soldiers and sailors in their wake before tomorrow’s Army-Navy football game.
The Navy Midshipmen, who enter the game with a 7-4 record, will try for their fifth consecutive win against the 3-8 Army Black Knights in the 108th year the teams face off on the gridiron. Despite being 14-point underdogs, the indomitable Black Knights, on hand at the Pentagon today, are poised to soldier on at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore tomorrow.
Lifting a yellow and black megaphone to his mouth, Army Secretary Pete Geren faced the crowd of Black Knight supporters and yelled, “GO ARMY!”
Geren led the throng to the office Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr., who thanked the group for visiting him. He encouraged the vociferous crowd to make extra noise while passing by the office the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, his Navy counterpart.
Upon meeting Casey, Army Cadet Cpl. Jacob Frechette, a trumpeter in the band, made a deferential request of the chief of staff. Frechette asked Casey to order him to do push-ups while his fellow soldier took a picture.

“Nobody outranks him, so if somebody’s going to make you do push-ups, it might as well be the highest-ranking guy in the Army,” the cadet said.

But Frechette, who predicted an Army victory in the gridiron showdown, said the only reason the Army might do push-ups tomorrow would be to express celebration. “When we score a touchdown, we’ll be out there pushing,” he said.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates gave a somewhat ambiguous message to the crowd after he accepted an Army scarf from a soldier who donned a “Goatbusters” costume, a flippant reference to the Navy ram mascot.

“May the best team win,” Gates said in tongue-in-cheek fashion. “How’s that for diplomacy?”

Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Richard A. Cody had an unequivocal statement for the cheerleaders and band after they performed a choreographed medley that included the Army fight song. “I thought that was one of our best military operations to date!” he shouted.

“It’s going to be a very tight game until the fourth quarter,” Cody predicted to American Forces Press Service. “Then Army’s going to win by seven.”

Army Cadet Sgt. Wiley Grant, a trombonist in the band, said he’s looking forward to seeing the first Army victory against Navy in his three years at U.S. Military Academy, at West Point, N.Y. Pep rallies like today’s are the best way to get the hearts and minds of the fans — known as the 12th man on a football team comprising 11 players — prepared for the historic matchup, he added.

“Especially after five losses that we’ve had in the past, it’s really important to get people fired up and to get people into the spirit and get them to believe,” he said. “The players on the field are going to do their best, but without the crowd support, the support from the fans, and support from the Army at-large, we’re not going to be able to win.”

Grant said the Army-Navy game is one of the oldest football traditions in history, one that inculcates a sense of teamwork across military branches. “To borrow General (Douglas) MacArthur’s quote, ‘Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other fields will bear the fruits of victory,’” he said. “There’s no more evident example of that than the Army-Navy game.”

Following in another rich tradition — the tradition of one-upmanship — Cadet Brian Kossler led several fellow cadets up escalators toward the Pentagon’s fifth floor, where a banner hung that read, “GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY” Kossler ascended a ladder and worked at unfastening the bolt that held the banner in place.

Minutes later, the 40-foot plastic homage to the Midshipmen lay in a heap on the fifth floor. A sailor who witnessed the act chided, “You can take our banner, but you’re still going to lose tomorrow!”

But those who say Army doesn’t have a prayer in tomorrow’s game are wrong, at least according to the Army’s chief of chaplains. “I pray that God shows favor on the Army,” said Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver. “And my biggest prayer is that everybody be safe as they play.”

Yesterday, the Midshipmen’s esprit de corps was boosted by some of the Defense Department’s top officials.

“I know it’s a great week, the spirit’s great, and it’s a spectacularly important game,” said Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “We want it to be played hard and played well, and in the end, let the best team win.

“And we have no doubt that’s Navy!” Mullen, a 1968 graduate of the Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Md., shouted as the throng of Navy supporters gathered outside his office erupted in cheers.

Mullen told the crowd that in the spirit of “jointness” among military branches, he would sit on Army’s side for the game’s first half. “And then I’ll be on the Navy side to see the victory,” he said. “Just remember two words: Beat Army!”

“Anchors Aweigh,” the Navy fight song, bounced around the stairwell near the Pentagon’s Mall Entrance as the parade ascended to the second floor toward offices housing members of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

“On Saturday, I will be neutral, but with some bias,” said Gordon England, former Navy secretary and current deputy secretary of defense. “I hope it is a great game, and that’s what we all want — a great game between our two great service academies.”

Donald C. Winter, secretary of the Navy, excited the crowd by listing significant Navy victories this season against the Air Force and Notre Dame. Amid the ruckus he added, “The season starts again on Saturday!”

“And one other thing,” he said. “All the good words I said last week in theater about being part of the joint fight and the joint team — on Saturday, those words are held in abeyance!”

Roughead, chief of naval operations and a 1973 Naval Academy graduate, thanked the Midshipmen musicians and cheerleaders for visiting his office. “You guys are getting spoiled; you never lose!” he said. “We’ll see you there on Saturday; it’s going to be a great day, and we’re going to win!”

After interrupting staff meetings and conference calls in the Army Department corridor, the procession passed before a Pentagon display honoring Navy fleet admirals and sailors who went on to serve as president. Tubas blared before resolute photos of Chester Nimitz and William Halsey, and bass drums banged off near stately portraits of Gerald Ford and John F. Kennedy.
Navy Lt. Elizabeth Griffiths, the secretary of the Navy’s protocol officer and a 2001 Naval Academy graduate, helped organize the rally, which is highly anticipated by Pentagon staffers, she said.

“I think this really gets people excited for the game, motivated for the game, and they just bring that much more spirit to the stadium, which really can help the players,” she said. “I think that the best part about this game is how fierce the rivalry is, but when it comes down to it, everybody’s playing on the same team.

“People enjoy the game so much because the teams are bonded for reasons that go way beyond just football,” she said.

….Thank you John 5 (VN69/70) so much for the video.

Armed protesters have been demanding that Mrs Gibbons is executed. Thousands of Sudanese, many carrying swords, knives or sticks, rally yesterday (above and below) to demand the death sentence for Mrs Gibbons for the teddy bear named Mohammad.

Thousands in Sudan Call for British Teddy Bear Teacher’s Execution
Fox News
KHARTOUM, Sudan — Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”
In response to the demonstration, teacher Gillian Gibbons was moved from the women’s prison near Khartoum to a secret location for her safety, her lawyer said.
The Foreign Office said consular staff had visited Gibbons in prison Friday, and she was in good health.

A spokeswoman said British officials were pursuing diplomatic contacts “both in London and in Khartoum and we continue to search for a swift resolution.”

The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gibbons, who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation. She avoided the more serious punishment of 40 lashes.

“Imprisoning this lady does not satisfy the thirst of Muslims in Sudan. But we welcome imprisonment and expulsion,” the cleric, Abdul-Jalil Nazeer al-Karouri, a well-known hard-liner, told worshippers.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
How about if a person got a pet pig and named it Muhammed. HuH??… Moslems would you like that better?
Islam is the religion of the perpetually enraged. Peace has nothing to do with it. So this naming a cuddly teddy bear Muhammad insults the prophet, while mass-murdering homicide bombers named Muhammad is perfectly acceptable to the followers of Islam. Insane totally insane people. Their Islam so called religion threatened by the name of a teddy bear is no great “religion”. It is a death cult not a religion.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Edwards Might Garnish Wages, Withhold Tax Refunds To Enforce Health Insurance Mandate
Kaiser Health network

Presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) on Thursday in an interview said that, under his health care plan, U.S. residents who can afford to pay for health insurance could have their wages garnished or tax refunds withheld in the event that they do not obtain coverage, the Des Moines Register reports. The proposal would require all residents to obtain health insurance, with federal subsidies available to lower-income residents.

Edwards also said that the proposal would enroll uninsured residents in health plans when they use the health care system or public services. He said, “So if you don’t have health coverage, and you go to the emergency room, you get enrolled. If you are a five- or six-year-old and you go to kindergarten or sign up for school, you get enrolled, if you’re not on a health care plan. If you go to the library, you get picked up.”

He added,

“When somebody chooses not to be in our health care system, then what they’re choosing is that the rest of America is going to pay for their health care”

(Leys, Des Moines Register, 11/30).

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Edwars wants to force people to enroll in his health plan whether they want to or not. State mandated fascism at its finest.
What he said: “When somebody chooses not to be in our health care system, then what they’re choosing is that the rest of America is going to pay for their health care.”
What he meant: “When I force somebody to be in our health care system, then I’m forcing him to pay for someone else’s healthcare.”
If any of the Dems become president, I don’t think anyone can stop socialized medicine. And it won’t just be socialized medicine. They’ll tax and spend us into a depression then build a billion bureaucracies to cope. It will be all socialism, as far as the eye can see.
A totalitarian socialist/communist to the core. The commie candidates Clinton, Obama and Edwards are all very similar. All leftist lawyers. All sitting or former members of the U.S. Senate. The only thing Edwards hasn’t added to his agenda is gun grabbing.

Hockey Telecast to Feature U.S. Servicemembers in Kosovo
Dept. of Defense
(Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jason Smith serves with the Kosovo Force Public Affairs Office.)
PRISTINA, Kosovo
Nov. 29, 2007
Versus, the U.S. cable television home of the National Hockey League, has partnered with some troops deployed to Kosovo to give an early Christmas present to the peacekeepers there and their families at home.
At 7 p.m. EST on Dec. 11 , everyone watching the Pittsburgh Penguins battle the Philadelphia Flyers on Versus will get to see some pictures of the American soldiers, airmen and sailors who are serving at Camps Film City and Bondsteel, Kosovo.
At the same time their pictures are being shown on television in the United States, the troops will be gathered at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Center at Camp Film City to watch the game on the American Forces Network. Due to the time difference, the game starts in Kosovo at 1 a.m. Dec. 12, but the late start won’t discourage people from showing up. According to Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jay Valloric, one of the event coordinators, it’s easy to stay up because he knows his kids will be watching for him at home in Ohio.
“Most of us will be here through Christmas and New Years,” Valloric said. “I would rather be at home, but since that’s just not possible, I think it’s great that my kids will get to see me and know that I’m doing OK.”
The idea for the game came about in an unusual way. A small group of troops gathered for the Oct. 24 game between the Penguins and Rangers. A story was written about the game and sent to Versus. Eventually, Michael Baker, coordinating producer of the National Hockey League for the cable network, received an e-mail with the story. Baker contacted the author of the story to thank the troops for watching the game.
“Mike was happy to hear that we watched the games,” Army Sgt. Kai Tonti said. “He said if we wanted, he would try to show the photos that he received from the initial story during a future game we would be watching. Of course we were excited about it, so we said, ‘Yes.’ We were telling the other people here about it, and the idea just grew that it would be nice to do a live feed like they do sometimes during the Super Bowl.”
Baker was onboard with the troops’ idea, but mission requirements at Camp Film City trumped the valuable resources needed to pull off the transmission. The team putting the event together on the Kosovo side quickly started gathering troops for pictures that could be shown during breaks in the action.
“Our mission here doesn’t make the headlines at home the way Iraq and Afghanistan do,” Valloric said. “No one here is complaining, because the conditions aren’t as bad as a lot of people have it, but we still miss our families, and to get some of our pictures on TV is a real morale booster.”
In addition to American troops, other NATO and Partnership for Peace troops will be on hand at the MWR Center to cheer for their favorite team and watch the live broadcast. Camp Film City, which serves as the Kosovo Force Headquarters, is a deployed home to troops of 34 nations.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
The game is scheduled for December 12th in Kosovo. However, the shit may hit the fan on December 10th!
Serb minister: No negotiated Kosovo settlement possible unless independence threat dropped
International Herald Tribune

Negotiators from Serbia and Kosovo are due to meet next week in Brussels with mediators from the United States, Russia and the European Union in their latest attempt to force a breakthrough in deadlocked talks over the province’s future.
The mediators are scheduled to report back to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon by Dec. 10, and some Kosovo Albanian leaders, notably the outgoing prime minister, have warned that if no agreement is reached by then they will immediately declare independence.

Didn’t Clinton say these troops would be home by Christmas 1996? And Gen. Wesley Clark guarenteed it.
We better pray for all the Christians in Kosovo, because the the nasty is going to hit the fan there very soon and our troops are there — who will it be to defend, marauding Muslims who are supposed to be “our Allies” there, or old Serb Christians who just may get slaughtered in front of their eyes.

Murtha finds military progress in trip to Iraq
Warns that Iraqis must do more for their own security
Post Gazette
WASHINGTON
U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.

“I think the ‘surge’ is working,” the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president’s decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis “have got to take care of themselves.”

Violence has dropped significantly in recent months, but Mr. Murtha said he was most encouraged by changes in the once-volatile Anbar province, where locals have started working closely with U.S. forces to isolate insurgents linked to Al Qaeda.

He said Iraqis need to duplicate that success at the national level, but the central government in Baghdad is “dysfunctional.”

Mr. Murtha’s four day-trip took him to a Thanksgiving dinner with troops in Kuwait last Thursday, and he then made stops in Iraq, Turkey and Belgium.

This is so moving and very special. I love things like this and how they honored Sherman Jones. America is the greatest country and people like this are the reason why. These students know what our freedom cost and is costing even today. It is a part of who they are and that is something that NO one can take away.
God bless Sherman Jones, all these students and their teachers.

Hey infidels, it’s RAMADAN ROSIE coming to you LIVE from ‘The Cradle of Civilization’ at 33 degrees 00 North and 44 degrees 00 East!
Hello from the 58th largest country in Allah’s world and all 168,743 square miles!
Since infidels have to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day holiday and shop to they drop on Black Friday …. Ramadan Rosie decided to take a four day weekend off as well. And so did your opposition since there’s not too much going on when infidels are stuffing themselves with turkey and gravy and stuffing and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie! No wonder 60% of Americans are OVERWEIGHT and many OBESE! How come your US Marines can’t follow in the same tradition?
About that Black Friday capitalist thing, how come you shop at 4 a.m. with plastic credit cards and debit cards? WE have soooo much oil revenues that usuing debit cards is beneath us. Do your Exxon and Texaco executives in Texas use debit cards, along with their company limos and Hummers and Lexus cars? I’m sure these executive infidels have company GA$ CARD$ too. Shame you nor your families don’t!
We are curious that on Thanksgiving you give thanks to your God only one day a year? We’re glad you are finally removing the CHRIST from your Christmas Day celebrations on December 25th in your secular 19 blue states! What took you infidels soooo long?
I’m listening to Ann Coulter on radio now and she needs a bodyguard 24-7 to protect her in the land of the Great Satan. What is going on over there in the land of plenty? I thought the cowboy and indian days, and Prohibition Era gangster days were long gone? Here’s a quote from Ann Coulter coming at you: ” We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing Adolf Hitler and his top Nazi officers. We carpet bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s WAR! And now this is war!”
Ann Coulter writes for www.humanevents.com and is one of your supposed patriots? Thank ALLAH she didn’t replace John Bolten in the United Nations! Ann needs to Burka-Up!
Today’s WORDS OF THE DAY to educate you infidels is “OPEN, O’ SIMSIM!”
Come on now, you never had nursery rhymes nor fables read to you? How about “OPEN, SESAME!” Now you’re getting it! Perhaps Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves rings a bell?

French Europeon Antoine Galland wrote ‘The Book of One Thousand and One Nights’ in the 18th century. It was all about Ali Baba, who was a poor Arab wood cutter. His father, the caliph, was murdered by invading Mongols……. And yes infidels, Mongols were occupiers too.
So we have been occupied many times before and as you say, ” We’ve been there and done that deal many a time!” Don’t you infidels know about foreign cultures and religions and other nation’s histories? How come you’re constantly told that history repeats itself, and if so, how come you don’t LEARN from the past? As you say on your immoral M-TV and BET videos: “WTF?”
We hope you have plenty of more holiday turkeys and pigs to eat, so you’ll be so stuffed you won’t be able to get off that chair while the football games are being played! Why didn’t you name New England’s team the New England Puritans? At least they were peaceful and religious occupiers!
So long for now and remember, all you infidels have to do is convert to Islam and pay the tax! It’s that easy!!

Immigration at Record Level, Analysis Finds
NYT …for complete article
Immigration over the past seven years was the highest for any seven-year period in American history, bringing 10.3 million new immigrants, more than half of them without legal status, according to an analysis of census data released today by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington.
One in eight people living in the United States is an immigrant, the survey found, for a total of 37.9 million people — the highest level since the 1920s.
The majority of immigrants arriving in recent years are from Mexico and Central America, and more than half of them are illegal.
The states that have received the largest numbers of the new immigrants are also states where immigration has been hotly debated. After five states that have been high on the immigration list for decades — California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey and Texas — those receiving the most new immigrants included Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Wild Thing’s comment………
That this invasion happened on George Bush’s watch, with absolutely nothing being done except a push for amnesty, will be the lasting lousy legacy of his presidency. It has cost our nation billions, debased our culture, and taken the lives of thousands of U.S. citizens who were victims of crimes perpetrated by illegals. Shameful.

“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt January 03, 1919
