Virginia Patriot, did you score tickets?
I would imagine you and Pasadena Phil will be in the mosh pit up front.
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 12:05 PM
National Suicide?

Why does The National Council of the Race (la raza in spanish) and the Chamber of Commerce get to negotiate a "Comprehensive Shafting of The American Citizens" behind closed doors? Since when does an organization representing foreign nationals breaking our laws get to rewrite our immigration laws to suit the lawbreakers? Isn't this akin to allowing NAMBLA to rewrite our laws regarding child predators? Or allowing organized crime syndicates to rewrite racketeering, gambling, prostitution, and extortion laws?

We The People are being told by our representatives that we should sit down and shut up while they invite in the entire world. We The People should get some say in this matter. Another amnesty will set off a stampede like we have never seen before. There is not much time to save our country. All the power and money are on the side of shoving this amnesty down our throats. The RNC wants an amnesty candidate, don't vote for one.

Immigrants vs Illegal Aliens


Yes, hispanics can certainly be as American as you or I, I know some. However, Mexicans are not Americans, Guatamalans are not Americans, Hondurans are not Americans, El Salvadorans are not Americans. They can be, IF they apply for legal entry and follow our EXISTING path to citizenship. When someone lets himself into your house without your permission, do you consider him a guest? I don't. Invasion is not the right term, but what is happening is NOT immigration. People do not have an unlimited right to "migrate" from their country to ours. I know many immigrants from all over the world and it is especially for them that I oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. Some have waited years in refugee camps in southeast asia for their chance to become Americans. They respect this country, our laws, language and culture. All of them took the time, effort and expense to do it the right way. We should honor all those who have and not insult their sacrifices with another amnesty. The amnesty of 1986 has resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and a general disregard for our laws. Another amnesty would be equally successful.
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 12:09 PM
Do You Want To Keep Your Country?


We the People of the United States of America have the right to have our borders and our laws respected and enforced.

Citizens of other countries illegally in our country have no right to demand anything from our government. They most certainly have the right to petition the governments of their home countries for change if they are unhappy with their home country. If they want to be Americans, we have a path to citizenship, more generous than any other nation, and it starts in their home country.

We need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of the law or devolve into anarchy. Our Republic only functions if everyone follows the same rules. We should not change the laws to accomodate those breaking them.

If America annouces to the world "We can't stop you, so come on in" with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn't get your attention, then wait until it's 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress' to give away. America belongs to We the People. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It's O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.

Someone please tell Sen. McCain.

The Stupid Party



The RNC wants an amnesty candidate.

Don't vote for one.

Another amnesty will result in Democrat majorities for decades, or until they are supplanted by the La Raza Party, why doesn't the RNC know that? How stupid do you have to be to import voters for the opposition at the same time you alienate your own voters? Nominating any of the amnesty supporters is a losing proposition, we will not support them. If the GOP intends to surrender our sovereignty and abandon the rule of law, they will find in November 2008, that they still have their big money/cheap labor donors, but they do not have voters. GOP-RIP
Joe writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 1:03 PM
So you will be in the mosh pit VP?
Don't you want to hear what McCain has to say?

You are right that unassimilated illegals are not Americans. That is why it is important to glean those who want and should be allowed to assimiate and become citizens from those who are either undesirable or do not want to stop being from their old countries.

comments for Joe

Joe,

Virginia Patriot's wife is a left-wing peace activist who stood in line for two hours to ensure that she got good tickets for "La Razapolooza" for VA Pat's birthday.

When it's time for the encore, they'll light their Bic lighters and yell, "Play 'Freebird' !"

Rock on.
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 1:11 PM

I know what McCain's going to say:

WE SURRENDER!

And his spam was put at 6 by my department here at work for this thread. The fact that he only could assemble 4 of his greatest hits for us is an embarrassment to Townhall spammers everywhere. I expected much, much more from VP.

There's still time left, VP...hit us some more of your posts we've all seen a thousand or so times on this site!

No Border Security/No National Security



You simply CANNOT have national security if you will not defend your own borders or enforce your own laws. Foreign nationals numbering in the thousands are entering our country at will daily. John McCain has done and will do NOTHING to stop it. Don't believe me? Ask Juan Hernandez!
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 1:25 PM
OHM This One's For You
Since CA has already surrendered, you can give us pointers on how the rest of the country can go about it.


Si se puede (Yes We Can)
Yes we can:
Ignore your laws.
Enter your country any time we feel like it.
Collect benefits to which we are not entitled.
Tell you what your immigration policies should be.
File thousands of lawsuits to prevent you from enforcing your laws.
Vote in your elections fradulently.
Take your country.

A word about The National Council of the Race (La Raza in Spanish). I use the English translation for clarity as most do not know what it means. Before anyone wants to call me a racist, I did not name the organization, the organizers did. For me this issue is not about race at all. I don't care where an illegal alien is from, it is the fact that they entered our country illegally that motivates me to oppose amnesty. I know and like people from everywhere.

"For those of the Race everything. For those not of the Race nothing!" (Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada).

This is the motto of The National Council of The Race.

Doesn't it give a warm fuzzy feeling?
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 1:29 PM
Also for Joe

Quoting John McCain's comment in 2004:

"I believe my party has gone astray. I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

Vote D-lite in '08!

Mr. & Mrs. VA Pat request "La Bamba"

Actually, I think for the encore, Mr. & Mrs. VA Pat would light their Bic lighters and yell, "Play 'La Bamba' !"

Ha, ha, ha.

VA Pat is angry about McCain's position on immigration, therefore, his strategy is to just raise the white flag and surrender to the radical left wing Obama on immigration, taxes, spending, judicial nominations, and foreign policy.

Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 1:48 PM

There is NO GOP anymore. Guess who caused the drop from 38%? Hint: it's not Bush. Another hint: the Democrats picked him to be your nominee.

John Kyl in his reelection got 41% of the Hispanic vote and he opposed amnesty. The GOP should talk to Hispanics like Americans not like Hispanics. The Bush-Mccain pandering is not the answer.
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 3:52 PM

The GOP did that already, they nominated McCain.
Pasadena Phil writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 4:20 PM

Kyl ran on guaranteeing that he would oppose amnesty but after the election, the McCain-Kennedy-Bush amnesty bill was re-introduced with his name on it. He is one of the biggest liars EVER.

question for my patriotic pal in VA

Virginia Patriot,

Who is more conservative; Obama or McCain ?
Virginia Patriot writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 4:53 PM
OHM Has Delusions of McCain
Neither is conservative, both want the illegal alien inundation to continue unabated. Say goodbye to your country.
ScarletPimpernel writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 4:53 PM
Teddy Roosevelt said
""In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

--- Theodore Roosevelt... 1907
ScarletPimpernel writes: Monday, May, 05, 2008 4:57 PM
Ahhhh
I can't wait til the pressure's off. The Stupid Party can go back to the Northeast region of the country and count their money. They'll be in the minority with little power for the next 40 years when they can try again. Wooooo! For a minute their I thought I was going to be in a Party that was actually going to have to do some hard hard work! Good thing we can just drift with the tide now...





Next time it will be "Who's more conservative, Hillary or Webb?"

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN0541135620 080505?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Key graph:
"A report by the Pew Hispanic Center in December found that 57 percent of Hispanic registered voters called themselves Democrats, while just 23 percent considered themselves Republicans."

In other words, 24% of registered voters are Republicans overall compared to 23% of Hispanics. Looks to me like Shoeless John in running in the wrong party. But then we've been saying that for a long time.

It is racist, that's why they prefer LaRaza, because gringos don't know what it means.

The funny part is that hispanic is not a race.
