Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Immigration, immigration, immigration, and a little Rosie -- That's what Townhall.com readers were talking about during the week that was -- May 20-26, 2007.

#10. Fred’s Watershed?
by Selena Zito
On the day of the first Southern-state Republican debate on the Fox News Channel, one undeclared GOP candidate performed a media leapfrog.

#9. Is Sky Falling on America?
by Victor Davis Hanson
The suicide-murders and roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan sicken Americans. Soon-to-be nuclear Iran seems loonier than nuclear North Korea. American debt keeps piling up in China and Japan. And we think of angry Venezuela, the Middle East and Russia every time we fill up - if we can afford to fill up.

#8. The Many Myths of Ethanol
by John Stossel
No doubt about it, if there were a Miss Energy Pageant, Miss Ethanol would win hands down. Everyone loves ethanol.

#7. The Amnesty Fraud: Part III
by Thomas Sowell
Whose problem is the immigration bill in Congress supposed to solve? The country's problem with dangerously porous borders? The illegal immigrants' problem? Or politicians' problems?

#6. Republicans should follow Elisabeth Hasselbeck's example
by Lori Byrd
Earlier this week on the The View, token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck spoke up so forcefully that Rosie O’Donnell resorted to playing the “big, fat lesbian” victim card. There are more than a few Republicans who should take a lesson from Hasselbeck.

#5. The Amnesty Fraud: Part II
by Thomas Sowell
Every aspect of the current immigration bill, and of the arguments made for it, has Fraud written all over it. Continued...

Sowell said it best.
GIVING OUT AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP LIKE CONDOMS CHEAPENS IT AND MAKES IT VALUELESS. I AM HISPANIC, I KNOW AND APPRECIATE WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME AN AMERICAN. THIS BILL WILL CHANGE THE COUNTRY FOREVER, AND THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

DO THESE CONGRESSMEN THINK WE ARE STUPID? WHO IS GOING TO DO 20 MILLION BACKGROUND CHECKS? THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LOST TRACK OF 650,000 CRIMINALS WITH DEPORATION ORDERS AGAINST THEM? GIVE US A BREAK!

THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PROVE THEY CAN CONTROL OUR BORDERS OR ANY WILLINGNESS TO ENFORCE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE ON THE BOOKS.

AND NOW THEY WANT US TO THROW CAUTION (AND OUR NATIONAL WELFARE) TO THE WIND AND BELIEVE THEY WILL DO IT NOW??? THEY ARE LIARS AND SNAKEOIL SALESMEN AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS NATION. THEIR AGENDA IS THE SAME AS THE GLOBAL CORPORATISTS, NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA.

AMNESTY IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR THE TAXPAYER AND WILL RESULT IN HIGHER TAXES...MUCH HIGHER.

IT'S UNAMERICAN AND ANTI-WORKER.

IT'S PATENTLY UNFAIR TO LEGITIMATE IMMIGRANTS.

IT'S DANGEROUS TO NATIONAL SECURITY.

IT'S DANGEROUS TO AMERICAN CITIES WHICH WILL BE OVERWHELMED AND BANKRUPTED.

IT WILL BANKRUPT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.

IT WILL LEAD TO MARXIST SOCIALISM.

IT IS SUICIDE FOR THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM WHICH WILL CHANGE AMERICA FOREVER.

AND DID I MENTION--- IT'S UNENFORCEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW DARE THEY MAKE SUCH SWEEPING CHANGES WITHOUT OUR SUPPORT! DO THEY THINK WE WILL EVER FORGET THE ENEMIES OF OUR NATION WHO VOTED FOR THIS ABOMINATION? I ASSURE THEM WE WON'T...AND THEY CAN START LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB.

SECURE THE BORDERS FIRST AND THEN ENFORCE THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE. IF THEY CAN'T ENFORCE THE OLD ONES, THEN THEY CAN'T ENFORCE NEW ONES EITHER. WHICH WILL MAKE ALL OUR PROBLEMS WORSE.

How often do you kiss yourself in the mirror and pat yourself on the back (try not to break your arm) because you think you know sooo much more and are sooo much better than everyone else? Idiots like you never cease to amaze me. You probably think the song is about you don't you?
