This has been the Bush lackeys SOP (standard operating procedure) here for weeks whenever a thread doesn't go their way they start the 'this is off topic chant'.....Bush is a liberal please stop your cheerleading.....'This isn't on topic' is a sure sign that the apologists arguments have no weight.
+3 on all points. I've noticed that as well. Agree with the status quo and
the thread goes on; bring up points that effectively counter it and it
gets shut down. It's the equivalent of when the news channels turn off
a guest's mic or quickly cut away to something else in the middle of a
press conference when a reporter asks a tough question. A great example
was post-OJ when the video was cut on the DA as he made the comment
"And in this case Justice was not served...." (screen goes black). "We seem
to have lost our video connection."
I don't buy into the argument that "illegals" do the work that many Americans won't do.
+100. This is complete and utter propaganda being forced down our throats
by BOTH repubs and demos --one gets the cheap labor that can be used
to undercut your fellow citizens and the other gets their votes and excuse
for social programs that expand the nanny-state. The net effect is
eliminating the TRUE middle class in the USA.
Anyone catch the docu called "Rome: The Power and the Glory"? I highly
recommend this since it shows where the US has been and where it is
going. I found it ironic that Roman soldiers were sent to fight far-flung
wars to increase the empire, bring back material resources (and slaves)
and then found themselves returning "home" to their own land gobbled up by
patrons from the next villa over (who did NOT serve) and being tended by
the foreigners (slaves) they had sent back to the empire while they were still
away on the campaign.
Think it through, people, we're being sold out with cheap labor at home,
cheap imports from abroad, small farmers are being forced off their land,
and our NG and Reserve have been sent off to secure distant resources that
are more important for Eurasia than us.
Look up the history of the "Roman hinterland" followed by "soviet
collectivization" for more fun!
