Brad: As usual, you made me laugh and gave me some things to think about. And your observations about the Mexican President and their "land of opportunity" was spot on. Thanks. It is hard to believe that people who are NOT U.S. citizens would have the hutzpah to demonstrate IN THE USA about their illegal status. Two things come to mind: 1) If our country is so bad as liberals have a propensity to opine, ad infinitum, ad nauseam, then why are we having an immigration problem? Who would come to a country that was an anathema to liberal elites? (I'm sorry.... they are patriots, right? They just don't see the harm in bashing our country (both here and abroad), our president, our soldiers, our recruiters on government funded colleges, and even our fallen in times of war. Silly me.) 2) If "undocumented immigrants" are so unhappy with their status of being ILLEGAL, then why don't they just...LEAVE? I'm sure they can take their illegal documents into a friendlier country (Like FRANCE) and use them to swindle illegal perquisites from THEIR social health care system. Also, they wouldn't have to demonstrate their rude and intense dislike for U.S. citizens in the streets of France. They could just get a job as a restaurant waiter, or hotel clerk. (Win-win!) Speaking of leaving, why don't those elite, politically active entertainers/actors (no...not you, Brad) who keep threatening to leave... (because President Bush breathes the same air),... ever leave? Common sense would suggest "laying low" as you prescribed, Brad, for people in our country illegally. But Nooooooooo! The "illegals" have to be IN OUR FACE about their discontent because of their status (heck, they'd be thrown in jail if they did this in their own country). Brad, I love your Rush optimism! You both know that the strength of our country is in our freedom; freedom to explore and pursue our creative "God given" talents to solve problems. Reminds me of "Doc" at the end of the first BACK TO THE FUTURE movie. Instead of needing plutonium as a fuel for his time machine in the future, his new invention, "Mr Fusion", uses beer cans and "trash" for fuel to power his time machine. --Ziobuck knowing with God all things are possible
