once again, no mugger, and I was told by the law, that by pulling a teens sweatshirt, to get him off another kid that I could be charged, and I still didnt regret it. charge me in the name of peace. The illegals do not feed me, the landowners, farmers, do. Be careful I live in a farming community who has legal migrant workers.
Yes I know they can work hard, without any complaint, at times there even exploited because they are helpless in getting protections. They work for minimum pay, no insurance, sometime they dont even get legal breaks, or safe working conditions yes whats new. but yes some are in gangs also, and that cant be ignored. The drug flow from Mexico is crazy, the murders and then just go back and disappear awhile. And you cant deny they are not receiving proper heath care, and they are receiving shots and emergency room care, without paying. And what do they do to clean up the enviorment? nothing! Why cant they build up Mexico,
i am grateful your son has not experienced any violence in todays world. And you must feel blessed that he hasnt been swollowed up by the gangs. and here they most certianly do get welfare. my state really dont care about citizenship, until the gang activity rises. - 2 years ago

"What do the illegalis do? well for one they feed you, They tend your crops in the fields and harvest them in triple digit weather, then they wash your dishes , prepare your food, clean your hotels and houses, tend to your yards, baby sit your children,wash your cars...they work harder in a day than you do in a month...I will not sit quietly while you disparage hard working men and women. You know it's your fat assed lazy "citizens" who are signed up for the general assistance, food stamps, aid to dependent children, rent subsidies, utility subsidies, disability payments because they are too fat...A person with no legal documentation has no way to get any of these payouts"----Actually, I have never hired an illegal,...as "poor (but educated) white trash", I mow my own lawn, do my own brakes, change my own oil, paint my own walls, repair my own sheet rock,trim my own trees, do my own plumbing, lay my own carpet, and set my own fence posts,....thank you very much. BUT, when I work at the shop as skilled labor, I DO work with hardworking intelligent,highly resourceful illegal "peers". Peers that is, save for the fact that they work as many hours as the owner wants,....under ANY conditions,...AND THEY CANT REALISTICALLY COMPLAIN! They just do it,....hell,...they WANT IT!!!
That F-cks with me! Hell, it f-cks with everyone I work with,legal Hispanics included,.... all except the owners.SO---YAH,....I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.Its f-cking with MY WAGE ,...and MY WORKING CONDITIONS. These guys cant READ safety signs,....And they would frackin SUCK AMMONIA for a desperately needed buck. BUT THIS IS NOT MEXICO.! - 2 years ago

wasp= White Anglo Saxon Protestant, nobody has ever accused of wrongdoing for pulling off a mugger off an elderly or disabled person, I'm calling bullshit on that.
My fourteen year old has never been attacked by a gang, or actually been in any trouble at all. What do the illegalis do? well for one they feed you, They tend your crops in the fields and harvest them in triple digit weather, then they wash your dishes , prepare your food, clean your hotels and houses, tend to your yards, baby sit your children,wash your cars...they work harder in a day than you do in a month...I will not sit quietly while you disparage hard working men and women. You know it's your fat assed lazy "citizens" who are signed up for the general assistance, food stamps, aid to dependent children, rent subsidies, utility subsidies, disability payments because they are too fat...A person with no legal documentation has no way to get any of these payouts...don't you realize they keep it on the down low for fear of being deported? What kind of an idiot would walk into a govt. office and announce that they are here undocumented and want welfare..for God's sake man use your head. You know nothing about which you speak and yet try to be some authority on it. - 2 years ago

The World Health Organization officially certified that smallpox had been eradicated on December 9, 1979, 2 years after the last case in Somalia. In 1980 the World Health Assembly recommended that all countries cease routine vaccination.

Fascism: NOUN: 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. -American Heritage Dictionary
The term "fascism" is thrown around loosely and there are apparently many definitions for it. I wish the author would have defined it for us so we could see how her ideas actually relate to fascism.

Neither of you guys have said anything reasonable about what you cannot do. No you cannot force others to listen to your religious views, they have a right to be free of that. No you cannot bully children in your neighborhood or any one else, the same way that that some loudmouth cannot be yelling at your children. The last case of smallpox in the United States was in 1949
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/SmallpoxEradication/
Nobody has you wiretapped unless you are involved in crime. You can certainly walk my streets at night, and I live in L.A. My youngest walks to and from school, so I think if a fourteen year old boy can find the balls so can you.....all of these things you listed sound to me like a paranoid individual...I have lived in the U.S. all my life , I need no education as to what it used to be like, I remember clearly...when black men and women were treated like animals, when women used to be subject to all kinds of lewd and rude remarks about their bodies or clothing at work, cops used to issue "street justice" at will, corporations dumping millions of gallons of toxic waste into the rivers and oceans, yes I remember those days, but I don't remember them being good at all. The America you remember is one that the rest of us who are not WASPS didn't care for at all. - 2 years ago

do not want to force anyone to listen to my religious views, I am not a minister. No I dont bully, never did bully any child in my neighborhood, but if I see children bulling, beating, other children, or disabled, or elderly, and I yell at them to stop or even pull them off of each other, I am accused of wrong doing, and threatened with charges. some people cant just look away. If your 14 year old was being beat I would try to stop it. I also said the US almost eliminated smallpox, your website confirms it. now we have to start vaccinating again. The Patriot ACT does allow wiretapping and searches, without even informing citizens look that up. My Senator was the only one to vote agianst it, he saw the civil rights violations. does your son go to school at night and doesnt L.A. have a curfew? another restriction on freedom, clearly ignored by kids and parents who have no beliefs. Yes African American have been treated horrible. {they also are citizens, taxpayers} My family always had ACTED on helping African Americans going back to the Civil War. They were white Christians from the North who put there lives on the line to give them freedom, then they helped them relocate up here. My family has openly and actively advocated for their equality. My sister and cousin are married to them. I now tutor and mentor African American children. What do the non visaed people do to help the community. {gang members shoot them} instead of making your country better, you run and invade the US, there are 2 billion non visaed in California alone, not paying taxes, not serving in the Armed services, not giving back to the community, giving back to Mexico. Some bringing in drugs, guns, child trafficking, increasing the tax rates every year. My family are avid hunters and we have many indian reservations here, we actively advocate for envioment responsiblity. My brother has about 10 windmills on his property. I dont even know what WASPS means but if it was not cared for why are they all comming here?

Oh boy, here we go, In America every one was presumed innocent until a fair and blind trial, now in the name of National Security {and the flood of non visaed people} We are required to show Ids everywhere. In Hitlers time this instilled so much fear and if you could show papers you were detained or worse shot on the spot. we have to Prove citizenship also to get a job. The USA had almost eliminated Poilo and Smallpox untill it was brought back to agian. It was the parents job to disipline, feed, cloth, teach religion faith morals and to determine how many children or not to have, now Social workers, public school staff, government run programs, cant spank yell, children who mess up are now put and chargerd as adults, we had the freedom to walk the streets at night and ride the public bus, from voilence gang activity, now were locked up tight, We use to be free from gov.interference in our home now they can wiretap and record seize without a warrent. Now our RIGHT to bear arms is being threatened because PEOPLE PEOPLE cant teach the responsible way to use them. now lets talk drugs. I never did drugs, and now I am subject to drug testing on the job, and insurance, at what cost of all this, taxes off the top of the check, cost out of my pocket, taking away from my kids and my freedoms. now my religous freedoms, I cant listen to christian radio, it might offend, I cant console anyone, it might offend, be subject to charges, cant yell at the neighbor kid for throwing rocks or bullying subject to charges. shall I go on If your new to this country learn English and read how life was read and learn the changes in the us the last 30 years.

I keep asking the same question and I am yet to get an answer from anyone on the right . What exactly is it that you guys want to do that you cannot? You keep speaking of the lonnnnnggggg list of freedoms that you have lost, what are they? I for the life of me cannot think of anything that I want to do that I can't except the things that would harm either the people I live around or destroy public or private property.
Now I can't shoot endangered birds or animals, can't send my kids to school with guns in their cars, lets see....I can't paint swastikas on synogogs, or burn crosses on african american's lawns, I'm not allowed to set up a meth lab in a trailer house, I can't make my schools make the Jewish kids, the Muslim children, or the Buddhist kids pray to Jesus...so please tell me what freedoms have you lost? I have lost none that I can list here - 2 years ago

What a misleading title lol. That's just a book review.
The constitution is all we need to prevent a facist America. All we need to do is actually obey it.

"America's best (and perhaps only) chance to keep the shreds of its tattered democracy intact is to get serious about cutting working Americans back into the democratic contract -- and repair their broken trust by making damn sure those promises are actually kept". I AGREE WITH THIS,.....(and I'm afraid we are in DEEP shit). p.s. "teabagger loonitude"; now thats a gem.

Let the haters rise up, they fail to remember we have the military behind us now. Oh yeah have you seen the face of our military lately? Minorities baby!
Hillbillies with AR15's don't scare me when we have everything in our arsenal and with the Patriot you don't have the right to arms when your posturing with terrorism. - 2 years ago
