Spaceship: 1. Well, look at John Kerry's Senate voting record. In the ideological spectrum, he was rated amongst the most "liberal" in the Senate. Half the U.S. voted for him in the Presidential election. Hmmm. Seems there are more in the extremes than you think. Ha. 2. So what is Vicente Fox paying you to be an apologist for him? The guy isn't fixing, or trying to fix anything. He wants the U.S. to solve his country's problems. He is doing everything he can to undermine our own border security and YOU defend him? The only thing you correctly intimated was that the corruption in their government is endemic and systemic. Our drug and people smuggling woes are directly related to their "enabling" policies. 3. Interesting that you keyed in on my misuse (admittedly) of the word "right". I only meant to use it to differentiate between those who have "citizenship" access (rights) to welfare programs, and those who should not (illegals--read: those unlawfully in our country who have tapped into tax money targeted for CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES). I wish, no pray, you would place your focus on the needs of the citizens in our country who NEED jobs, NEED education, NEED medical attention. The U.S. will go broke trying to be compassionate to those who can't make it in their own country. Perhaps THEY need to organize in the streets and rise up in their own countries to precipitate change? Ya think? Your socialist mindset exists in Europe. Having lived there for four years, I can tell you it is killing the soul of that part of the world. Most do not need handouts, but opportunity and freedom to try and make it in this world. Immigrants to the U.S. don't have that in their country and appreciate that about the U.S.. 4. Again, nice apologetic for those in this country unlawfully (I'm trying to use "unlawful" versus the overused "illegal" because "illegal" is just a sick bird). Does the rule of law mean anything to you LIBS? Seriously. Just because something is difficult, you just organize folks to ignore the law? Remember Jesus saying "Render to Caesar what is Ceasar's and to God what is God's" (paraphrase). He's saying to follow the rules of the governing authorities. You can't cherry pick what you like and don't like. People do that with God's Word too. --Ziobuck knowing reality is tough, both on the just and unjust
