These are all deceptions - you should refrain from

is just your liberal opinion, nothing more, and your 
statements are not based on facts, at any rate. 

President Bush won the election fair and square based 
on our form of representative government. Over 50% of
voting Americans re-elected Bush AFTER the Iraq invasion. 

Our armed forces are not rampantly dishonest - over 
140,000 of our brave troops believe in supporting 
their elected government. Bush never killed anyone.

Quite correct.

By writing, below, all hire illegals IS deceiving.  It is 
equivalent to saying that a person who jaywalks breaks the law

 Why didn't a dozen people jump on Shemp when he
 claimed Al Gore's father was a segregationist?




It's because even YOU admit that he voted against the Civil Rights 
Act.  When people read that they think: Okay, that technically 
doesn't mean he's an actual segregationist, but until I have more 
information, HE'S SUSPECT!

Then, perhaps, they read on and discover that after being in Congress 
and the Senate for several decades Gore lost his bid for reelection 
PRECISELY BECAUSE HE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART AND CAME OUT AGAINST 
SEGREGATION.  What does that say about his previous 30 years 
representing a Dixiecrat state?

Do you think that someone could be reelected from a southern state 
during this tumultuous time period in race relations because he was 
AGAINST segregation

Or perhaps they read anecdotes about his personal life -- recounted 
by Al Junior's Black Nanny -- that Senior and family frequented 
segregated restaurants?

Your adamant insistence on such an issue, Judy, is why people do NOT 
regularly defend you on a regular basis.





 How
 can you not care about an honorable public
 servant, no longer around to defend himself, being
 slandered in public with the aim of denigrating his
 son, the leader in the fight against global warming?




It is because the ONLY reason Al Gore ever got elected in the first 
place as a senator from Tennessee was that it was his father's old 
Senate seat, just like Bush got his political success because of HIS 
father.  So it is fair game.

And it is fair game to try and understand the motivations behind why 
such an apparently intelligent person resorts to the worst kind of 
fear-mongering and I attempted to posit an explanation by examining 
where he got his fear-mongering from.





 
 If Al Gore Sr. were still alive and happened to be
 a participant here, if he spoke up to defend himself,
 apparently you'd be happy to dump on him as you do
 me.



Would it not be a fair question to ask him why he voted against the 
Civil Rights Act?




 
 We have Bush in office today, rather than Gore,
 because of rampant dishonesty; we're losing our

Actually, one of the very few things I believe

destructiveness of dishonesty. With all the
disagreement in the world and all the problems
it causes, it seems to me just appalling that
it should be complicated and exacerbated by
dishonesty.

How can we even get to the point of peaceably

in deliberate falsehood, and that is *tolerated*
by others? How can anybody have respect for an

Great question! Speaking for myself alone, it's because I know them, 
and I know how much weight to give their postings. If they touch my 
heart, I thank them, inwardly or outwardly. If they don't, I ignore 
them. They are who they are. Arguing with them, as I used to do from 
time to time when I first came to FFL, felt like Brer Rabbit's 
kicking the tar-baby. The tar baby didn't get any cleaner, and I came 
away needing a good scrub. 

To change analogies, on closer look I found that I was trying to comb 
the mirror to fix my own unruly hair. The part of me that was 
irritated by them was often the very part I saw in them -- my inner 
fundamentalist, the one who was so certain he was right, the one who 
never saw the need to change, the one who had so little integrity he 
was projecting all his sins out onto others and damning them. 

Over the years I've come to see that almost always this little self-
righteous guy is generally *not* absolutely right -- in fact, he's 
almost always wrong, he didn't see the bigger picture. In my case, 
the bigger picture has turned out to be my feeling-level. On the 
feeling level, he's in pain; I am not as attracted to identify with 
the self-righteousness of the fundamentalist crusader as I once was. 
Nor do I hate him, as I once did -- the hate and the unconscious 
identification being two sides of the same coin. 

I've found this is the only way I can really reach the little guy -- 
through detachment. By neither hating nor identifying with him, I am 
free to love him, as he is. And that's more important to me than his 
being right or wrong. 

This is not to say that any of this is what You should or should not 
be doing, of course. Who am I to judge You? As far as I can see, I 
think what you're doing and who you are, is great. I am just trying 
to clarify why I don't care about their falsehoods. It's because I 
found that just behind caring who was right and who was wrong, was 
caring for the being who cared so much, and that being was in a lot 
of pain. Identifying with that being exclusively, had become 
intensely painful. Whether I was right or they were -- neither way 
worked for me. Either way, I lost! Or to put it another way, 
my belly won -- but my heart lost.

For me, since then, it is generally a great relief to realize it's 
not me; it's not them; it's a pattern between Us.

illegal immigrants at the border, and backed it up with stiff fines 
and/or jail terms, the illegal immigration problem would go away 
overnight; no demand, no supply. 

It is not a mistake that I said as little enforcement above, 
because although we spend more resources to catch and deport illegal 
immigrants at the Mexican border, it is still and always will be a 
pathetically impotent effort, designed more for show than effect. 

It is the shadow policy of every administration to continue illiegal 
immigration because of the profits raked in by those who exploit the 
situation. It is a shadow policy of every administration to create a 
permanent underclass to keep profits high. The official perspective 
is different, though, and pretty much just empty words. As the 
expression goes, bad policy starts at the top. Begin to look at 
those behind the curtain. Whole lotta maya goin' on.

 All hire illegals.

So, they are illegals, but are you suggesting that 
the above companies employ 12 million of them, all 
with stolen or forged Social Security cards?

What percentage of the illegals are employed by the 
above cited companies? 1%?

Now that's one fine piece of rationalization.  Hats off to Coulter!

To in one breath call immigants what they actually are -- slaves --
and then use that fact as a reason to hate Democrats of 150 years ago
instead of, you know, hating the very elitist Kennedy and his merry
band of gladhanding pork barrelers is a feat of cosmic legerdemain.  

Not to trivialize Nazis, but geeze Ann comes off like she's saying
hate the Jews cuz they insist on hanging around tourist towns like
Auschwitz.

Okay, I take it back.  The Purusha Guy is safe.  Ann gets the custard
pie in the puss instead.

When you write all hire illegals, do they do it through sub-
contractors (or contractors) or directly themselves?

If through contractors or sub-contractors, then it is not them that 
is hiring them but the contractors or sub-contractors.

If it is through themselves, it may happen only because all of the 
above companies each have 1,000s of employees and it can happen that 
a few fall through the cracks (particularly if the illegals have

It is the money hogs that foster this anger towards the illegals, so
