A pathway to citizenship is the only way to go. It worked for the great Ronaldus Maximus Reagan and has been advocated by such Republican stalwarts as president George H.W. Bush, the Honorable John McCain and his loyal sidekick, the sainted Sarah Palin. For that matter, just about the whole Republican Party.

The racist skinheads on this board will accept nothing less than spending billions of dollars hunting down illegal immigrants like they were dogs. Not only is this ridiculously simple minded, but in the end it will bankrupt businesses nationwide at a time when this country cannot afford it.

As funny as it is, railing on retards and all, we have enough of them on THIS site, to where we really shouldn't be making fun of the retards on another site.

Seriously, the man is mentally ill, or diminished. We really shouldn't be mocking those who can't help their afflictions.

Hah! Good luck with that. See you in about ten years.

While we are being invaded by mexiscum, potentially good citizens are made to wait for years. Especially if they are white Europeans.

Hehe.. perhaps one of the reasons I'm only thinking about it preliminarily. More of a reaction against my idea all my adult life of staying on home ground hasn't really gotten me anywhere.

I recall Mark Steyn had a good article about what you are saying a couple of years ago - basically, little or no incentive to enter America legally. Mind you, the Irish and American governments did introduce a worker exchange program early last year - which is a joke as both economies are screwed! lol

I'm not sure how European law stands on Swastikas, but outlawing them would be in line with the Eurocrat mindset. But Germany is the real powerhouse of the EU - so in a sense, Hitler did eventually win the war 65 years later..

Very insightful and quite probable. I still think it's an out of work moveon.commie type pulling everyone's leg...LOL But you certainly have hit on something quite likely to be spot on. What a bunch of sheeple can continue to believe is far, far, far beyond me at this point.

Thanks. Rocks pre-dates (Bowel) Move-on by a fair amount. I first encountered him on several different Indymedia sites as early as 2001 (at that time he/she/they posted as "Bush_Admirer" but the schtick was identical). At that time he was pushing the different elements of the Bush Program but all other aspects were the same, including a complete parrot of the party-lyin with no deviation. The counters to criticisms always came straight out of the talking points again with no deviation and virtually verbatim. No one is that stupid as to be able to regurgitate only the talking points - which is why I knew then and now that he is a paid poster with some function other that what appears on the surface. I caught him once on a cut and paste where he had posted a comment on SF Indymedia and then posted it on the one I was visiting at the time - but missed clipping out the reference to it being SF Indymedia that he was posting on. It just eluded me for a long time what his function was other than to promote the party lyin. It is to seed the Party Line on forums and to gauge the reaction thereto. Harvesting the counters then allows them to quantify it on a Psychographic Profile, and to formulate counter arguments and/or strategies to the objections. It allows them to gain a pretty good picture of where we are coming from and our likely reactions to a given policy and or action.

Our adversaries rely heavily on Psychiatrists/Psychologists to develop and implement programs that are aimed at controlling dissent and or guiding public perception in the direction they want it to go. Thus they need to know the public mind to know what they can and cannot do and what to do to guide that public perception.

I've got him/it/they going once or twice as well. Where he/she/they run into trouble is when you formulate a counter to the official spin which the talking points do not cover. He/she/it will then either post something incoherent, irrelevant, or not respond at all.

Or FBI. Most likely one of those two. Since most Psychologists/Pschyiatrists "have issues" he would fit right in. After all MK Ultra was a Psychiatric Program.

Then you have an idea how long this has been going on. It's genesis is at least early 50's. You can see its precursors as far back as the 1930's or even 1920's.

Something that has gotten excised from the history books, and rarely mentioned, was the attempt to formulate a Psychiatric Gulag in Alaska in the mid 1950's. A bill was introduced which would have allowed involuntary institutionalization of anyone at any time by any Psychiatrist. The facility was to be a very large one, dubbed "Siberia USA" when it got into the Press (when there was still some independent Press left) after having passed the House of Representatives. It was narrowly defeated in the Senate after a massive public outcry nationwide.

"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. . . Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. . . . We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electronic stimulation of the brain." Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado, Director of Neuropsychiatry at Yale University Medical School, Congressional Record, No. 26, Vol. 118, Feb. 24, 1974. Delgado was reported as part of the "MK-Ultra" CIA mind-control program.

I agree completely. I know Reagan was a hero to many but not to me. While people talked long and loud about the tax cuts they never mentioned TEFRA (Tax Equalization and Fiscal Responsibilty Act). If I remember correctly that was the largest peace-time tax INCREASE in the history of the country. And there was all the deficit spending they engaged in. Reagan complained about the deficit spending but not once did he submit a balanced budget. So no, he was not a hero to me.

Lou Dobbs can be forgiven the occasional error. They can be deported when they are caught violating the law--you know, drunk driving, murdering, raping, little stuff like that. And they would self deport if the government would cut out the bs anchor baby crap. Along with telling the ones caught in the states illegally that they will NEVER be allowed entrance into the US since other people are waiting in line and they jumped the line.

It's a little more complicated than that.

Ronald Reagan agreed to the tax hikes on the promise from Congress of a $3 reduction in spending for every $1 increase in taxes. Some conservatives, led by then-Congressman Jack Kemp, claim that the promised spending reductions never occurred[2] .

The original TEFRA bill as passed by the House lowered taxes[6]. The Democratic-controlled Senate replaced the text of the original House bill with a number of tax increases, and the bill became law

One week after TEFRA was signed, H.R. 6863 - the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1982 which Ronald Reagan claimed would "bust the budget" [3] was passed by both houses of Congress over his veto[4

Once again, the truth about RR shines as bright as the man he was; and once again it's the RATS who steal our money and shred our Constitution

After reading your post and then reading the cited post I would have to agree.

Thanks. Another characteristic that I didn't mention but I believe valid is false emotions i.e., his emotional response, what little there really is, seems mechanical and detached. This is one of the traits listed in the Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation

8 Traits of The Disinformationalist: What to Look For

6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.

Please excuse me for disagreeing. I have seen that particular poster around for enough years (as far back as 2001) and the style and manner remain unchanged in all that time. Artificial emotions, almost detached, yet doggedly pushing the Party line virtually verbatim - including the talking points. No, there is a specific function his posting is fulfilling and I think I finally hit on it.

Still, you can't give Reagan credit for tax cuts without acknowledging that he was also responsible, at least in part, for budget deficits. While he made noise about them he never once presented a balanced budget. And why would Congress pass one if they never got one?

Republicans and Democrats want immigration of any kind for one reason - the US government needs more money. More people means a bigger economy - which means more taxes.

The US government cannot begin to pay all the obligations it has - so they need 400 million people to tax.

Social Security and Medicare are a giant Ponsey schemes - just like Maddoff - money that comes in today is used to pay off yesterday's obligations. 300 million Americans cannot possibly pay the bills of the US government.

The politicians will not say it - but that is the truth.

Q. How does this process start off each year?

A. The President submits a budget to Congress in early February. This lays out the President’s priorities, and includes details as to how much money he wants allocated to each federal program. The budget request also sets forth the President’s wishes with regard to reducing or raising taxes. However, the President’s proposed budget is only a recommendation. Congress has the “power of the purse.” And under the Constitution, it is Congress’s job to actually write and pass the budget.

http://harkin.senate.gov/pr/col.cfm?id=237366


I don't remember which congressman it was, but one of them who was tired of listening to his bs about the balanced budget asked him why he had never submitted one.
