How have we gotten to this point in our country?
Answer:
See ya in re-education camp. It will be like paradise. We won't have any worries except scrounging a couple hundred calories a day.
I see a lot of question marks but no real question.
Yup, we're definitely in a low point right now. In my lifetime, I can't remember a time when things were as polarized as they are now. Chin up, truth always wins. (bitter victory though)
You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm so tired about the "in God we trust" issue already!!! If people don't like it, too bad! As far as speaking English, I think it MUST BE REQUIRED in order to get U.S. citizenship. I am just saddened as to what our country has become....let's worry about everyone else, and let the Americans suffer! I don't get it! I have actually thought of leaving the States, but the only thing holding me back is my family. Darn!
I think that's the problem with Americans, (at least most), you're too paranoid. Most people think we come here to make the lives of Americans miserable, to steal your jobs, take over. Well no, we came here to work. We're trying to live and make it just as you are. This country has gotten to many points, it started out with points, segregation?? slavery?? stolen land?? Anything is expected out of here, the only reason people try to come here is because the government isn't corrupt and to take advantage of the opportunities given here, not of the U.S. people.
About the American flag and Mexican flag, I think many people were driven to that point. I don't agree with disrespecting ANY country. I'm proud of being Mexican but I am grateful to the opportunities I've been presented to by the U.S.
About the English, people give people what they want. NOBODY is MAKING people put other languages, but the people that want to sell know it can gain them big points. You know, the reason why many immigrants don't know English is because they don't have time to learn it, they work all day and night and don't have the time to study it.
Don't seem so heartless, I am a Christian, and I do open my heart. Try to see it from other people's points of view too, not just yours. Just try it out.
That's what Canada and Australia is for, gives us a place to run.
Amen. Our current immigration policy is a national disgrace, and its an even bigger disgrace that more people don't give a d*mn. People seem more interested in Anna Nicole Smith. In my opinion the world is becoming more globalized, and it's only a matter of time before all North America joins as one national identity like the EU
i agree. we need to stand up and be herd, tell our great president we don't like what's going on in OUR country. enough is enough.
Is this England? So, why whine about English? Speaking of which, is that supposed to be English? Our national language isn't Moron, is it?
I am not a christian, but I agree with you. My grandparents have both past on. My grandfather a WW2 pilot, and my grandmother was the sweetest woman ever. But I wonder what the greatest generation (the ww2 generation) would think of this generation. They spoiled their children perhaps, and their grandchildren, and now we take everything that they set up for us for granted.
Think about it; is the Mexican immigration (both legal and illegal) not just the slowest invasion of a country in the history of the world?
This country is too busy catering to the special interests to realize that it is losing touch with its true roots. I'm not saying that white males and females are the only proper route for this country, but I do feel that rather than reaching to bring people up, they should strive to be here.
In other countries, if you do not adhere to their policies, languages, and cultural differences, you are DEPORTED.
We should not change to accommodate those coming here. Rather, they should change to fit in in our country.
I guess since this is not a question I will just comment on your posting...First off I agree that we need to press one for English that is crazy it should all be English. Second why is it harder for US citizens to get on a plane to go to somewhere when terrorist had no problems, I think we need to wake up as American
It appears to me you have failed to mention in your statement the descent and meaning of America. America has always been called THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. Those who migrate to America like those who migrated and founded this country are looking for a better place to live and a place to work.
HOW HAVE WE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT IN YOUR COUNTRY???
Where we forget that the founding fathers were immigrants or sons of immigrants??? Where we forget that God created EARTH and that HUMANS created UNITED STATES??? Where there is no equallity when we are all children of God and we forget??? Where sir did we lose touch to other humans and believe that it is only us that GOD blesses???
HOW HAVE YOU GOTTEN TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHERE WE FORGOT THAT EVERYBODY WAS CREATED EQUAL???
hey Christian boy
try loving your neighbor as yourself???
I totally agree with you except on parts of the terrorist issue. We have provoked fights with the whole world over financial interests.
Yes there are a lot of creeps, hotheads and jealous sicko's out there that want to see us dead and we have the right to defend ourselves but not pick fights.
We are spending hundreds of billions fighting overseas against a potential enemy when its clear we face a much greater threat
from both terrorists and criminals crossing our borders. Our selfish greed has exploited desparate 3rd world people for cheap labor.
The President has stood by while allowing law enforcement agents to be harrassed, intimidated, fired, thrown in jail and even beat up for protecting us from drug dealers and illegal immigrants.
He told us basically to mind our own business about turning the flag upside down. All illegal immigrants need to leave now unless we are willing to accept some responsibility for permitting and even attracting them here and cut a deal with the responsible and productive ones. No more instant citizen ship for babies born here whoever though of that one needs their head examined and if found sane should be hung.
Bushes next plan is to allow Mexican trucks to flood over the border which do not meet safety or weight regulations. The administration is lying about inspecting trucks in the free enterprise zone. And Bush pushed hard for CAFTA which gave away many of our national rights to Central American countries. Many of these countries hate us and would like to destroy us just as Islamic terrorists wish to. Not to mention pushing for Arab control over shipping and even manufacturing of critical military hardware. And all the loobying and corporate scandals he has been involved in and lied about.
Roland Arnall was found guilty for defrauding people of their homes by 49 states gave the President 12 million in unlawful donations to leave the country with diplomatic immunity he has damaged the economy left thousands homeless and jobless and several of his victims have almost died. He stole several hundred thousand from me personally.
In case no one noticed we have lost the right to own private property and have it protected by the rule of law for profit by private corporations. If a developer writes your local congressman a check for a few thousand the police will throw you out of your own home at gunpoint and give you pennies on the dollar. The President pulled a scam and said he protested government property takings for profit so he's misleading people again the government isn't a business.
If conservative Christians or people with any morality at all want to survive they will throw this fascist dictator in prison tomorrow.
This isn't the first time for the Bush has been treasonous. Samuel Bush was an arms dealer who armed our enemies in WWI and Prescott Bush armed funded and profited from the Nazi's in WWII Eugenics was also Bushes idea not Hitlers. Samuel and Prescott are respectivley the current President great grandfather and grandfather.
All Christians and conservatives need to denounce this war criminal and get him out of their and support a genuine Christian patriot with good stesmanship abilities yet at the same time stand firmly against evil. There will be payback for Americans for supporting this ruthless dictator blood will be spilled on our shores.
The question is what do we have to will to right the wrongs accept responsibility and defend ouselves and restore our freedom. We are going to need someone a whole lot tougher wiser and more moral than Bush to survive whats coming next.
The government has taken away our gold and silver based economy and replaced it with a debt based monetary system with support corporate crime and high risk investing and trade deficits due to monetary manipulation. The driving force of corruption is paper money controled by evil men. They favor supporting those who are easily enabled and corrupted and those who favor an instant gratification high debt flashy lifestyle.
In other words those who run the finacing system dupe those who are weak, insecure and foolish into borrowing to impress others and to pursue finacial gain and power over personal excellence and common decency.
To be honest i think your just talking crazy. This country is melting pot of many religions and different ethnicities so why would we force someone to conform when thats why we fought England. We were being forced to do things that weren't right so why do that to others that help our country flourish into a better place to be. WHY?!?!? Slaves were brought here and forced to do the very things that your saying should be required for citizenship so why would we repeat the same mistake. This country was founded on God so the In God We Trust issue should be dropped nad everyone should just let it be whether they agree with it or not.
It is very obvious as to how we have become what we are today.
Actions and demands of various groups that would have been unthinkable prior to 1954 are presently embraced by our Government. Government is involved in every aspect of our lives.
As usual we are told these actions and demands are for the overall good. Well I am sorry to say I don't and never will see it that way. This country has turned into a moral-less cesspool.
Every aspect of crime and immorality is at an all time high. The beginning of this travesty began by trying to help the poor and down and outers. This would be true regardless of race. Look around and tell me it has been successful. Billions and Billions of dollars have been wasted. The result is not a lot to show for the effort. I have never received free medical care, free college tuition, food stamps, child care, money to go into business etc.
My parents were not rich. So if working is good enough for me, why should anyone else get a free ride? I don't think the world owes me a living. I also think that it owes no one else.
Stand up for this country? How could this possibly be done with no unity? Get out of this country? Well it is a thought. Where would one go? Futhermore if you are going to do it, you better not let the screen door hit you in the rear. The reason is it will not be too much longer that it will be escape, becaause it will not be legal to leave.
i hope you feel better now.........oh_hell
Way to go, 44granny. I agree with you, we need to take a stand for our great country. To answer your question about how we've gotten to this point in our country, I would say that we are too worried about offending people. We are too worried to offend illegal aliens to the point they really controlled the government. Now, if they ever feel threatened, they just say 'racism' and get more money from the government. We can fix this problem by returning to our old roots and not caring who we offend. The country would be a better place to live, guaranteed. You know what, it's about time that there is more people like you.
Calm down - and stop watching so much garbage on TV - like Faux News.
And - America has many religions other than Christianity - some Americans don't believe...so don't fret about the God thing...
And - this is a nation of immigrants. Except for the indigenous people, every single one came from somewhere else or their ancestors did. So lay off the immigrants.
And - many Americans can't speak the English language or spell or know anything about grammar...so don't bash the "English as a second language" crowd.
Don't be scared. America has survived everything that has been thrown at her for almost 500 years......as soon as the moron in the White House goes back to his spider hole in Crawford, things will settle down again.
You think Mexicans are terrorists? They are fighting to get to this country to work and raise a family. They aren't coming here to blow up buildings they're here to build them. Your fear of terrorism is silly and irrational........unless you live in Iraq.
I am not a Christian. However, I understand what you are saying. We got to this "point" by way of liberalism, political correctness, and corporate greed. If something is not done to change immigration and citizenship rights, this country will be polarized to the point of a second civil war. If you think it is bad now, in 50 years the invader's population will quadruple, with the middle class paying for it all in more ways than one.
Unfortunatley,Americans always wait and hope for the best,then when we finally make a stand for our freedoms we take a great loss.It will all end in war,what a shame.
