Bit of a story:
I had (he has unfortunately died) a friend who was 'Hispanic' and when the subject of illegal 'immigrants'/undocumented aliens came up, he would use the term 'wetbacks'. He had served in the US Army, and was as 'American' as I, as a white male. What he didn't get about the whole anti-'immigrant*' push was that it wasn't just the actual illegal crossers, but ALL Hispanics/Latinos that were (are) being targeted, including Veterans who happen to have brown skin.
*most of those crossing the border are not 'immigrating' but coming to work and send money back to their families.. they are 'migrants'.
Cause he doesn't know anything about lobbyists.
That was fun. And you're a LIAR about access to information. Ever hear of Cheney's SECRET energy meetings? He had to go quail hunting with Scalia to keep that meeting secret.
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: For those concerned about stimulus spending, the General Services Administration sends word tonight that $18 million in additional funds are being spent to redesign the Recovery.gov Web site.
687 Billion and counting.
Awsome and swell.
Your invited to back up anthing you've ghosted over above...or "swell up again sometime."
Great question. You'll be happy to know that there are answers.
1) Because there's no such thing as a "race of illegal aliens"
2) Because NCLR has about as much to do with illegal aliens as the NRA has to do with people who get arrested for owning firearms without licenses.
3) Because NCLR has as much right to influence legislation as you do.
4) There's this concept -- one that was probably dreamed up by some pointy-headed leftist elitist America-hating snooty piece of Eurotrash -- that Congress can make no law infringing on anyone's right to peaceably assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances. But hey, who cares about that, right? Certainly not you.
Only if you take it out of context. But read about them for yourself if you want to really understand what they are about.
"Laraza" doesn't mean much of anything. La Raza, on the other hand, could best be translated into English as "the people." As NCLR itself points out, they don't even represent a group that identifies itself in racial terms, but rather as an ethnicity. That's what NCLR actually says. Meanwhile, you're the one who stated that La Raza represented a "race of illegal aliens".
As for your question, "Who said anything about there right to assemble?", I'll only give you a hint: it comes from something that rhymes with "The Mirst Mamendment of the Monstitution". Don't get discouraged -- if you keep working at it, I'm sure you'll figure it out by New Year's. I can tell you, however, that I brought it up because the right of people "peaceably to assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances" includes the right of individuals and groups like La Raza to lobby the government.
By the way, I never called you a racist.
The Social Security Administration estimates that about three-quarters of illegal workers pay taxes that contribute to the overall solvency of Social Security and Medicare.
The agency estimates that for 2005, the last year for which figures are available, about $9 billion in taxes was paid on about $75 billion in wages from people who filed W2 forms with incorrect or mismatched data, which would include illegal immigrants who drew paychecks under fake names and Social Security numbers.
Illegal Immigrants are Paying a Lot More Taxes Than You Think
You're either misinformed or blatantly lying.
Just don't be naive enough think it's only the right-wing's favorite bogeymen that have recieved federal handouts...
So what will be left? Why, the abstinence-only ed programs dear to Bush's heart and to the Christian right. A third of all federal HIV-education money — some $270 million more in Bush's latest budget — now goes to abstinence-only programs, almost universally to Christian groups as part of Bush’s "faith-based initiatives" (no Jewish or Muslim groups receive any funds). This is a brilliant maneuver — Bush has turned money earmarked for fighting AIDS into political pork for his Christer base. Much of this money goes to anti-abortion groups masquerading as "women's health" or "crisis-pregnancy" centers. Others receiving such funds engage in religious propaganda — a federal judge found that Louisiana’s federally funded Governor's Program on Abstinence illegally handed out Bibles, staged anti-abortion prayer rallies outside women's clinics, and had students perform Bible-based skits.
I say you're obsessed with muchkins and secretly go around singing "I'm A Little Teapot" while carrying live toads in your pocket. According to your logic, it's not up to me to prove that statement, it's up to you to disprove it. I wonder how much money the convicted felons of the Republican party give you.
Once again, your bigotry is showing and you're too cowardly to own up to it.
Please don't judge us all by Markbfoot's statements.
I'm starting to think that toad maybe just another tart.
Remember in 2001 when the Bush/Cheney administration was trying to develop an energy policy that would affect all Americans? And, in order to determine what that policy should be, Mr. Cheney was put in charge of the 'Energy Task Force'? Well, he met with Exxon-Mobil Corp., Conoco, Royal Dutch Shell Oil Corp., and the American subsidiary of British Petroleum. Know what? I didn't vote for any of these corporations, and neither did anyone else. Yet there they were, making sure that we remained addicted to petroleum.
Didn't Iraq just recently open up it's oil fields to multinational companies for the first time in 20 years or so? Does any honest person doubt that we invaded Iraq for that very purpose?

...I want racial quotas in basketball so that there is an equal number of non-black athletes. Am I going to get any of those things? Didn't think so.

People are still people. When people talk before they think, they can say stupid and derogatory things. To cite every incidence as "racism" is overreaching.

Savage has a point. Every neighborhood that illegals have migrated to has gone down the tubes. My birthplace of Van Nuys, CA is like "little Mexico" now. Shootings, rapings, pillaging, drive-by's, grafiti, prostitution, drugs, (you know, all the things that go along with the Mexican-illegal population. Even the African-American neighborhoods are in awe!
by zamfir273114 (August 05, 2008 9:27 pm ET)
Then why is it that every one of these Mexican populated areas crime-ridden? Really, all P.C. aside, can you tell me why the real estate prices decrease in these areas? One more thing, why are the prisons filled with Mexicans? P.C. aside. See, nothing ever gets done because everybody is afraid to talk about these things.

I don't have to agree with someone in order to value free speech. Sure, Imus et. Al. say some nasty comments; however, unless you can diminish his listenership or his value, your barking up the wrong tree. If Hillary were black, you could resort to using Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Unfortunately, they only come running when black folk are ridiculed. Hmm, that seems a little "racist" in and of itself.

That is Mr. Hussein's, I mean Obama's, name. Coulter only speaks what millions of American's think. The American people have a right to know who they are voting for. Barack Hussein Obama.

If Kilmeade had known the P.C. police were going to take him out of context, he should have re-phrased his statement in a more P.C/B.S. way. What he is saying might be correct though: research done in Sweden might have no correlation to research done in the United States because the United States is a much less limited gene-pool. MMFA inferred that he was somehow saying one was greater than the other.
Oh I know, he's just dreamy, isn't he? I nearly fainted when he started talking about people with bones in their noses. Casually demeaning people is such a turn on!
