You make some good points in your letter, and it would be worth passing on. You're wrong with the quote however; you're paraphrasing George Santayana, not Einstein.

Allowing unimpeded Muslim immigration into this country (or any Western country) is akin to voluntarily injecting oneself with cancer cells. There can be no good outcome--I don't care how many "good" Muslims outnumber the bad.

"The president throws blacks a few bones during elections to keep them in his pocket, ignoring them the rest of the time and delivering them nothing for their loyalty." What, pray tell, could he possibly "deliver" that they don't already have? Under a system that offers an array of services that blacks have as much access to as anyone else (student loans, grants, subsidized housing, welfare, food stamps, AA to name a few), what could or should Obama offer to one racial group as a thanks for their loyalty?

NYC doesn't have a middle class--you're either filthy rich, or poor.

Kinda goes along with the saying: "Profanity is the linguistic crutch of the inarticulate."--but I like yours better.

Actually I was only trying to make fun of universities, NOT plumbers--I apologize if it didn't come across that way. I got nothing against plumbers or other skilled trades people--hell my brother is a plumber.

Freedom shmeedom. They come because they can make more money, and even if they can't, a generous Uncle Sam will provide them with hospitalization, medicare for babies, education, AFDC, food stamps and on and on...no citizenship required. This woman Hoffman, needs to take off her rose colored immigration glasses. I can't stand these 2nd generation cheerleaders who are always advocating for more and more. There's a reason her grandparents made better immigrants then what we are currently being swamped with. How many is enough? When the population reaches 500,000,000 will that be enough? Maybe a billion? Will her descendents be writing articles urging more and more? How long before we're a full-fledged, dysfunctional, third world dump?

He finally makes sense, but college has been so dumbed down, they may offer degrees in plumbing soon. Pipeology or something. Departments will be created, staffed with administrators and bureaucrats; researchers will do work on pipes; an office of plumbing diversity will be set up, with the head, Rufus T. Crackpipe, making 250k a year. Taxpayers at state schools will be forced to pay for it all. Private schools will tap places like the Ford Foundation to get large donations.

FYI: Washington was quoting Vegetius, the Roman General: "Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."

It wasn't a domestically armed citizenry that kept the Nazis out of Switzerland--it was the Alps. Hitler's generals told him that it would take 750,000 troops to take the country. It was one of the rare times he actually listened to them and took their advice.

Yes! And he wouldn't even have to affect an accent. He's already got the real thing.
