Yeah, they are. I’m amazed at the arrogance of some self professed “patriot” Christians. IMHO, they do more to fracture those of us who get it than any elitist agenda ever could. They are unwitting foot soldiers of the globalists.

You are correct about me being self righteous. I need to work on my humility.

regardless - I used my replay to you to elaborate so it all worked out in the end.

You are correct about me being self righteous. I need to work on my humility.

You are rude and you are wrong in your nonsensical tirade at me for no reason.

I have always been consistent in my position that immigration should be skills based and my position is no different than your economics schpeel. It's not like either of us are geniuses for seeing the obvious and that's why poll after poll shows that our current immigration policy - placing family reunification as a priority - is broken and why Americans by a significant margin are pissed with our nation's immigration policy directions today both legal and illegal.

Nothing you just did or said to me on this thread "worked." You accused me falsely and you don't even have the courtesy to apologize for your error. What you "need to work on" are your facts, your honesty, and your manners.

I don't myself agree with the assertion at top of this thread, that people who quote bible are 'head cases'. But people say this out of frustration, and i sure don't blame them for being that way.

I don't use the term 'rapture nutter' or rapture monkey. but I admit the phenomenon does occur, and I don't agree with the people who fall in that category.

I like the bible, I think it's a very good thing.

If Allthekingshorseswontdoit's interpretations are correct (& I personally think they mostly are), then it means this god is willing to let us be exposed to evil. and that is the way I read the bible, that he is willing to let evil happen to us.

IMHO the beginning of wisdom is fear of the lord. and he's bringing that forth to us.

Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

My frustration stems from the divisiveness that *some* believers bring to the table. We’re at such an acute stage in American history that anything less than unity will work against us. It’s too late in the game to comb the catacombs for cryptic codes and clues. Ed Brown up in New Hampshire needs immediate help and our borders are under attack. Maybe we should do something about these things before deciding who is, or isn’t a true Christian.

In other words I am against open immigration for economic reasons more so than cultural ones.

The "cure" for most of those problems is the rate of assimilation. That's the argument put forward by Victor Davis Hanson in "Mexifornia". The rate has increased beyond what can be assimilated so the result is balkanization. He's no racist and neither am I. It's about a reasonable approach. The costs to our standard of living are difficult to estimate, the health costs (not just the once eradicated diseases), overcrowded schools, transportation, neighborhoods becoming barrios, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if racism is increasing just because of the lack of controls.

Catholics and Jews and mainstream Protestants and Buddhists - just about all religious leaders are big sympathizers to illegals and unbridled legal immigration generally

This is what you invoke when you use that language:

G rover Cleveland was elected president in 1884 in one of the dirtiest election campaigns in our history........That morning, he made an appearance in New York City at a meeting of several hundred pro-Blaine Protestant clergymen. Reverend Samuel D. Burchard delivered a warm welcoming address which ended with the words: "We are Republicans, and don't propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion." Blaine somehow missed the bigoted phrase, and did nothing to deny or repudiate it when he got up to speak. A reporter assigned by the Democrats to cover the meeting eagerly reported the mistake to the Democratic headquarters. When asked if Blaine "met this remark?" the reporter replied that Blaine had made no reference to it. The Democrats then spread the quote all over New York City and elsewhere. By the time Blaine finally got around to disavowing the remarks, it was too late. He lost thousands of votes among the Irish-American voters in the city.

Mexicans do not have manufacturing jobs that allow them to move up the ladder like had existed for immigrants in our past who came from cultures even more alien to America than the Mexican/Spanish culture - You have to stretch credibility very much to say Mexican culture is more removed from American culture than say the culture of Greek Americans or Russian Jews or Lebanese Arab Christians or Armenians. Yet these people melded into American culture and contributed greatly to this nation's wealth because their parents could pull themselves out of poverty.

How will that happen with no jobs in California that can allow this assimilation and upward mobility? So it is not that Mexicans can't become Americans - there is no catalyst to help the assimilation process with the end of American manufacturing.

I consider racism a normal human trait. It can be altered, by some, on a voluntary basis, but when a politically correct society attempts to criminalize it, they actually get more of what they wish to eradicate. Stick that up your Anglo-Saxon ass you fat, balding, toothless horse humper.

Good response Red. I think we expose ourselves to most of the evil by living outside of righteousness. I think we rationalize our weaknesses.

You were right in analyzing the usage of derogatory terminology to describe Bible believers as rapture nutters etc., as frustration. Too many people have been obsessed with these scriptures for thousands of years to imagine them all to be nuts !

“The First Highest Masonic Council was, as we have already said, formed on 31st May 1801 in Charleston, 33 degrees northern latitude, under the chairmanship of the Jew Isaac Long, who was made inspector general by the Jew Moses Cohen, and who had received his degree from Hyes, from Franken, and the Jew Morin.”

You must not live in the SouthWestern part of the U.S.

Some of the illegals here own homes and drive nice cars. Their children, through education can reach any level of achievement they want. Look at our AG, Alberto Gonzales, he already said his grandparents came here without papers.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/17/gonzales-grandparents-illegal/

BTW, Lou Dobbs is trying to get an investigation of why someone in a high level of the federal govt brough the whole force of the govt against two Border Patrol agents with exemplary 12 year records, and gave immunity to a Mexican drug dealer with $1 million in drugs.

Illegal hispanics also take advantage of affirmative action (reverse racism), putting to rest the notion that AA was designed as a tool to off set 400 years of white racism against blacks.

In the SouthWest there is a lot of competition for govt monies, between Black organizations and Latino. The Latinos have the Catholic Church to begin with, an unfair advantage. The Blacks feel the Latinos are reaping the benefits of everything they worked (and slaved) for; "on their coattails" is the expression I heard in an interview once.

And according to the news on prison riots and turf wars on the street, this rivalry is deepening.

scrapper2: Catholics and Jews and mainstream Protestants and Buddhists - just about all religious leaders are big sympathizers to illegals and unbridled legal immigration generally

destro: This is what you invoke when you use that language:

You are either a. delusionary or b. unable to comprehend the English language or c. your ego is so grand that you cannot admit to a mistake. What's your point or rather what's your problem, Destro?

Please use someone else for your moralizing didactic parable. You are barking up the wrong tree with me if you think I'm going to tolerate your nonsensical comments that are totally inapplicable to me, except in your short-circuited brain.

a. I am a Catholic so like the so-called "self-loathing Jew", I have upclose experience with Catholicism and Catholics to "have the right and the knowledge" to comment on the foibles and/or pluses of the Catholic religion and its adherents. I can generalize and stereotype as much as I want because I've been there and done the walk. In fact, I still do the walk but not as regularly as my family would like.

b. My response, which you quoted out of context, was to a poster who claimed that Catholics were the main enablers of illegal immigration. My rebuttal was that most religions (apart from evangelicals) were pro immigrants and Catholics were no exception - the tenets of most religions involve looking after and looking out for the disenfranchised, the poor, the underdogs looking for a better life - all God's creatures and all that good stuff. I added that in the case of Hispanic illegals, the Catholic leadership might be more vociferous than other religious leaders because Hispanics were Catholics. Duh.

c. Catholics generally are Democrats - it's a fact of life - most Catholics were Johnny Come Later immigrants and considered second class by the WASP establishment in America until recently when Kennedy made it to the Oval Office and he did it on the Democrat ticket.

To this day the Democrat Party promotes itself as one that looks out for minorities, the immigrant and Catholicism is big on that mindset. Statistically you'd probably find more Catholics identifying themselves as Democrats no matter what their economic status like the Jews do. Of course there are exceptions to the rule but generally what I say is true.

By all means - if the Republicans want to again take up the war cry of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion" and become the Anglo-Saxon WASP Protestant party (and WASP wannabees) and attack the Catholic church once again like the good old days be my guest.

I just deregistered from the GOP and became an independent so I no longer have a vested interest in the GOP.
