My thoughts from the "FAR RIGHT"
Why does it have to be a CONSERVATIVE=EVIL and LIBERAL=GOOD argument.
You can look at leaders from both sides of the political spectrum and see the corruption.
I'm all for immigration, but only LEGAL immigration. If you are sneaking in, you only have basic human rights and constituional protections.
Not one of us, citizen or otherwise has a constitutional right to "Cradle to Grave" social care. It just is not in the constitiution.
However, the role of the Federal Government, should not be to run the wealth re-distrubition system it has become. Instead, the Federal Government should ONLY be responsible for
A) National Defense
B) Foreign Policy
C) Constitutional Defense (aka DOJ/FBI)
That is all. No medicare, no welfare, no DOT, no EIEIO. If the states want to do this, then let them, but get Uncle Sam out of the wealth re-distribution business.
If the Federal Government wants to tax me, then by God, I have the constitutional right to help decide who benefits from my tax money.
Immigration is simply a vote grab. Who benefits more from low income naturalized immigrants, the Democrats or the Republicans?
Does that make me evil because I feel this way? Do you characterize this as hateful? Well if you think I'm evil and hateful, you don't know me very well, or have a weak argument and must resort to attacking me instead of my reasoning. (Which is a sure sign of a weak position, or weak argument.)
Sure, immigrants work very hard at jobs that others who were born here would not do. Why? Partially because we make it too easy for those already legally here to live off the dole.
You getting that welfare check, get out there and clean the parks, interstates, cut the grass at the capitol, answer phones, whatever.
America is becoming the land of the "Free Lunch" for many people.
Those of us who are working and losing 50% of what we make to various and sundry taxes are getting fed up with it. We cannot continue to pull the cart if more folks keep getting in, instead of pulling it.
I have no hatred for immigrants, but rather have distain for those able bodied, regardless of color, gender or political affiliation, want to only ride in the cart.
I feel sorry for America. We are becoming soft and irresponsible. No one can be held responsible for the decisions they make anymore. Burn yourself on a coffee cup, get millions from McDonalds, they shouldn't serve hot coffee.
Who is next to win the "Litigation Lottery"
Check my post about whose books are more corrupt. If you think the government is the solution to all of our nations ills, then you are looking the wrong way. http://www.contour.org/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=38;t=007954
Government never fixes problems, they only manage them. Why, because to fix them means a bueracrat will put himself out of work.
I have thought about it, and looked at it. I don't like what I see. I don't like the direction the nation is going. I don't like that the people "accept" corrupt leaders in any arena, business or politics.

Perhaps the last one to believe dissent is not hatred.
