Toby just shows you what a wide range of IQs in the social distribution does to the arguments of people on both sides of this issue. I would ask everyone on both sides of the debate here to pay more attention to the more rational than the irrational on both sides of this “illegal” immigration and “social fractionalization” issue. The extremes don’t speak for us.

I guess you reap what you sow.

I will draw my own conclusions. They are not very flattering.

dolph - I’m with you 150%!!!!! Toby’s statements were tasteless, to say the least. I’m one of those wishy-washy persons when it comes to religion. I don’t go to any church; did my Sunday schooling with the Salvation Army, because they had a lot more fun and sang much better songs than the other churches in town. It wasn’t because of any belief. When the kids were young, we went to the Unitarian Church, because they were more concerned with what was going on on earth than in heaven.

I have lived among muslims in Southeast Asia, and they are nothing like some of the Arab muslims. The women are free to obtain higher education and they work as doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc and they run their own businesses. The word MUSLIM scares people ever since 9/11 - and for good reason.

Toby’s last paragraph should definitely not have been allowed. The last sentence would be hard to explain to a kid. It borders on kinky pornography.

Am I the only person who feels that the above remark by Toby is inappropriate language for a public blog? No wonder people feel free to come on here and throw the ‘racist’ word around so freely.

Toby, as a contributor to this blog, I try to use public language that is acceptable to everyone. If that is being PC, so be it and I do it without apology. I certainly don’t care what language you use in the privacy of your own home. However, propriety mandates that ethnic slurs do not belong in a public forum.

Almost religions are a scam designed to take your money and control you through fear. Are you really naive enough to believe there is a super being in the sky that created everything? It’s unbelievable that in the 21st century people are still that ignorant. The funny part is that muslims actually believe the lie about getting 72 virgins if the die for Allah. SUCKERS! Don’t you realize that this is nothing more than a ploy by your religious leaders to get you to die for their cause? They don’t care about you or whether you live or die as long as they get what they want and you are dumbe enough to give it to them while sacrificing the one and only life you have for nothing.

As an Irish American I condemn all violence perpetrated by the Irish Republican Army against anyone. I believe that the IRA leaders who planned, abetted or committed this violence deserve to be hunted down and killed or arrested and sentenced to spending the rest of their lives in an English or Irish jail. Any American who provided any financial support to these terrorists should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and sentenced to long jail terms.

Just once - I’d like to hear an Arab American make that same statement about the jihadists.

The silence of the Arab American community regarding the terrorism committed in the name of Isalm is deafening.

I agree with what Michael said! We must not let this happen! That is the epitomy of balkanization! Balkanized nations are not successful in the long haul.

Michael’s point is well taken. The constitution doesn’t protect “groups” (except in a few cases), but rather individuals against governmental interference. Favoring one group is disfavoring another — it leads to gross unfairness. Why should one person be dropped to the bottom of a list because another, who may be less talented, is raised to the top not because of merit, but because of affiliation with a group? This might be okay for getting airline tickets (and paying the higher fare), but it’s not fair for obtaining government jobs or civil rights.

> it stinks and our leaders do not represent the majority opinion anymore.

Is this what happens when the majority does not vote ?

I am talking about voter turnoout

Redawn and Anonymous, I agree, it stinks and our leaders do not represent the majority opinion anymore. They represent the total sum of all minority factions which when added together can turn the tide of any modern election. It is most successful for groups aligned politically along racial, gender, ethnic and religious lines (which is how our elections will go), because the majority itself is divided into two groups. Those groups themselves are trying to get special privileges based on their race, ethnic group, gender, and religious factions. We have been sold a self destructuve idea in school (a bunch of crap) about diversity and inclusion, the same way the “socialists” were sold on socialism being the way to wealth. Hollow rhetoric, and emotional conviction outweighing wisdom and reality. The destructive and divisive social experiment now is the idea that the world needs to have no borders and all ethnic, racial, religious and gender groups will be able to get along as long as the majority never gets any power, the minority gets all the privileges for themselves and the law is written to only protect groups aligned along racial, ethnic, gender and religious lines. That’s why the lunacy of buying into this causes conflict, division, hatred and mistrust around the world, in those countries who have “diversified” their country right into conflict and war. Our politicians are afraid to speak up because the 1960s and 1970s racial, gender, ethnic group and religious group movements made them afraid of being called bad names if they protected the majority interest. What they need to protect are “individuals”, not groups, and to uphold the laws that protect us from terrorists and criminals who would destroy our security and general welfare, in order to gain racial, gender, ethnic group and religious group fanatical advantage for themselves. You see that in EVERY country.
Those same 1970s and 1980s movements in academia have proliferated vociferous and bullying opinions of one sided “fairness” concepts among those of social worker mentality. These people will be just as responsible for the decline and decay of our nation into poverty and conflict, just like the socialist parties caused the decline and decay of socialist countries. IF America does not stand up to protect individual rights, but deny group rights given to special interest racial, ethnic, gender and religious groups , we will at our peril put 1 each ARAB, HISPANIC, ASIAN, AFRICAN, EUROPEAN, AUSTRALIAN, ANTARCTICAN, MALE, FEMALE, etc, etc on every ballot, commission, government office and lobby group, with each only looking out for its own group interests and native land welfare, whether that is a terrorist national interest, a conqueror’s national interest, a gender group’s selfish interest or a religious doctrine interest, to rise in superiority over all other groups. Doing that with 2 genders, hundreds of nationalities, thousands of ethnic groups and thousands of religious groups representing “everything” is utter and total stupidity and chaos. We will be a nation of conflicting special interests and express hatred of all not belonging to our “privileged” or “protected” class.

What a group of stupid people we are to allow this to happens to us. Our great grandfather’s and grandmothers would think we are crazy and they would be right!

Yes, indeed - why. Petty corruption doesn’t explain it. Neither does imbecility - even for Kaine.

Laziness? Nope.

Its bigger than that.

I see a one world order. There is a small group of people who feel they are the modern day czars. Privileged and destined to rule. Their progeny are protected and nurtured to take their place.

Look at how the Bushs and Clintons are as tight as can be. We all wondered why there were not investigations and indictments into Clinton exccesses after the Bush election victory.

Simple - they are all in it together. Since there has to be two parties - we haven’t been beaten down to the point where we will accept one - there has to be contrived differences and controversies to prolong the farce of our elections.

The removal of our borders is just a matter of time. Our rights will be next.

Notice how in light of 911 and the islamic menace, the only people affected are everyone except muslims. They have reached almost a protected status. Our airlines are threatened - yet the airports are full of muslims employees. We have quite literally tons of untranslated material and daily intercepts that few can interpret. Have we instituted language programs to bring cleared people up to snuff? No. We hired muslims and gave them the golden keys.

There has to be another disaster. A big one. In the wake of that, I believe most of what rights we have left will evaporate in the name opf homeland defense.

It doesn’t look good.

The questions that I have that keeps getting attention in my mind:

WHY?
WHY have they not secured our borders? Why do they keep coming up with more excuses/ attempts, i.e, NIGHTMARE act? Why NOW at election time do they CONSIDER illegal aliens as a SUBJECT? Why has this not been done 40 some years ago, skip to 1986 i( before, in between / after) WHY NOW? WHY has NOTHING been done?
These are all questions, but the bigger question that I have is there any truth to the North American Union?
WHY? I understand “WHY” is the greatest question ever asked….but WHY?
I think the question is why, we exert a lot of efforts to have our voices heard and they do, only to be presented in some other way.

OT, but I think Greg needs to get another post about the dream act on the front page. Its been delayed and delayed, but the DoD Auth. bill cant be delayed much longer. I think the dream act will get voted on tommorow (unless its pulled). We need another concerted effort to call the senate tomorrow morning to make sure this DREAM act (nightmare) doesnt go through.

If it does then other amnesty legislation could get through as well. I just cannot fathom how amnesty legislation can be considered when we still dont have anything close to a secure border. Not to mention it shouldnt be considered at all. Stop the magnet, let these people self deport.

The dream act would be adding to the already big magnet

Please call your senators tommorow morning or leave a message tonight. (warner, webb havent come out with a position yet)

Thanks for bringing this up. This is why elections matter. Not just because of the person who wins the election, but because of the people the elected person appoints to commissions and committees.
