TV about how my neighborhood needed to be more diverse, and they planned on giving tax credits for minority families to move here. They must have meant Mexicans, because this neighborhood is already about 40% black.

And then, when the race riot erupts between blacks and Mexicans as a result of the resentment and distrust these social engineering schemes produced- that same talking head politicain or bureaucrat will come on teevee (with no one pointing at him as the blame at all) and tell us how we need more of the same race based solutions - like "hate crime" laws.

We should expect to pay more $ for it and why not?

If you're talking short term, of course we should honor our agreements. I don't think it would take 10 years to pump enough oil down from Prudhoe bay and drill in the Everglades. That could be done in months.

A multi-pronged investment in becoming self-sufficient and independent of ME oil within the next 10 years is the way to go in my opinion.

I agree. I'm disappointed in the Bush administration's promise to research fuel cell technologies. They've been so preoccupied with this high-tech war that they've been unable to deliver on those commitments.

I'm very much pro-melting pot as opposed to multi-culturalism.

I'm not. While I tend to agree with Ron Paul that federal attention to religion and race are collectivist, I also think it is collectivist to engage in blatant social engineering by meshing new cultures into ours without respite.

Given several generations, the cultures we've assembled here in America today starting around the time of WW1 and increasing after the 1965 Immigration Act (which went hand in hand with the Civil Rights Act) would assimilate.

Right now I think we're at the limits of what this 100 year laboratory experiment can sustain. Crime statistics and the increasing loss of English as our exclusive language should be indicators of this. The ruling elite thinks otherwise, and I see that you do, too. I'm just not in agreement here. I speak out against it when asked. Once here, all human beings are my brothers and sisters. Before inviting them, I'd like to set some strict limits. It takes measurable time and financial resources to integrate newcomers. We have encountered limits and we're exceeding them now. In the interest of the common good, and the success of those already here, it's time to stop most immigration for a while.

Ron Paul does not agree with me here, and I still support him for President. In all of this, the common enemy is tyrannical powers held by government in gross violation of our Constitution. But failure to close our borders and the wholesale import of third world peoples into our society are reflections of that loss of representation. We are and will be paying more and more for this.

Last word, the accompanying editorial:

Article published Tuesday, November 20, 2007 Your petro-dollars at work

STRAIGHT from the news pages, here’s a case of Middle Eastern justice that ought to be pondered by Americans as they fill up their cars with gasoline made from Saudi Arabian oil.

After being raped about 18 months ago, a Saudi woman was sentenced to 90 lashes for having been sitting in a car with an unrelated man when she was kidnapped and assaulted.

When the woman’s lawyer appealed and complained publicly about the severity of the sentence, the court increased the penalty to 200 lashes. And added six months in jail.

That’s right. Under the Saudi legal code, based on a strict version of Islamic law known as Wahhabism, female victims of crime are punished along with the real offenders, in this case a band of seven men.

This woman’s crime, although we are loathe to dignify use of that word, was meeting privately with a man who was not her husband or a family member.

Her lawyer’s offense was pointing out the injustice, which the court then turned against the victim by increasing her punishment.

We shouldn’t have to point out — but we will anyway — that the raw barbarism and misogyny represented in this case are abhorrent to and incompatible with virtually every precept of modern Western thought and ideals, especially when masquerading as a foundation for law that governs the everyday life of human beings.

The fact that the United States, which gets at least 15 percent of its oil from Saudi Arabia, indirectly subsidizes and perpetuates these cruel practices under the repressive Saudi government only makes them more repugnant.

The woman in question was 19 when she was raped, reportedly by a gang of men, who kidnapped her from a car where she was talking to a former boyfriend about return of some photographs.

She and the ex-boyfriend, who also was sexually assaulted, originally were sentenced to 90 lashes each, harsh even by the standards of Saudi courts, which legal sources say typically prescribe 60 to 80 lashes for adultery. But adultery was not alleged. As for the attackers, the New York Times reported that their sentences ranged from ten months to five years and 80 to 1,000 lashes. Their prison terms also were lengthened after the case went public.

Not surprisingly, further public comment on the case has been muted inside Saudi Arabia. The tribal kingdom does not pretend to be a democracy and the medieval treatment of women in its society is well known.

But we’d be remiss if we failed to point out that the leaders of a nation with a system of justice that countenances such cruel and unusual punishments should not be surprised when westerners categorize them as uncivilized and culturally backward.

The American people, meanwhile, are caught between distaste for anti-democratic governments abroad and their own nation’s shameful reliance on imported oil, much of it from the Middle East, for transportation.

Perhaps such policy failures would be more meaningful if motorists, the next time they fill up their gas tank, would envision a woman barely in her 20s facing 200 lashes for no crime at all.

That’s the way American petro-dollars are being put to work in some of the darker corners of the world.

I don't appreciate your telling lies about what I have said. The above quote of mine followed by your "interpretation" of what I stated are miles apart.

What is it that you do not understand about what I stated?

Fact #1: Sharia law regarding civil family disputes was practised in Canada informally for a decade or more. There was no stoning of women in the course of those years.

Fact #2: A Muslim organisation and its lawyer wanted Sharia law to be formally recognized for its use in family legal arbitration matters.

Fact #3: Fyi, Ontario's Arbitration Act permited religious groups to settle family matters.

Fact #4: B'nai Brith Canada endorsed the idea and submitted an amicus brief in that regard to the provincial government.

"We have tried to reduce the hype around the proposal to implement sharia law tribunals in Ontario. Sharia-based courts will not bring the Taliban to Canada," said John Syrtash, a family lawyer with B'nai Brith...The Canadian Jewish Congress says it is neither favours nor opposes sharia-based tribunals."

Thursday, September 9, 2004 - Page A8 The Globe and Mail

"B'nai Brith recommends sharia-based tribunals" by Maria Jiminez

Conclusion: Therefore, if you want to have a hissy fit with the person or organization that "puts Rabbis at the same level as Imams," then take your fight to the B'nai Brith of Canada, sir, and to John Syrtash who was B'nai Brith's legal representative at the time the discussion was underway. Furthermore you can contact the CJC and mutter at them for remaining neutral in the face of such "evil" as Sharia law.

P.S. You might want to look up Beit Den to see how progressive and women- friendly it is. Hint - the Jewish court has 3 MALES adjudicating civil legal matters relating to divorce and child custody.

And should we all begin fueling our cars with tsk, tsk, tsk instead of gasoline?

No one - including the opinion editor or the likes of you - have ever been in the least way concerned about Saudi Arabian women until now. Surely the Saudis were known to be authoritarian chauvanistic punks before today's incident, yes? And you and your fellow travellers went along all these years without shedding narry a tear for those pooooor down-trodden Saudi women, yes?

Sorry but your "concern" about Sharia law in Saudi Arabia is approx. 50 years too late and not heartfelt whatsoever.

I'm not much for talk radio, although I sometimes hear a few minutes of it no more than 2-3 days a week. I missed that. In any case, Canada has adopted a system allowing Sharia to arbitrate certain legal disputes for Muslim communities. Some Islamics living here have said we should adopt it completely. The more of these third world people we immigrate into the USA, the more likely they will begin influencing our social structures. I think it's already gone way too far. I blame the NeoCons for that.

After Gulf War I many (3500-4000) Iraqi Red Guard were allowed (assisted) in moving to America by George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. It's my opinion that these people have been used in some instances as contract agents of a rogue element of the CIA under Bush.

Well, unless you first direct your concerns to the women of this nation and their affection for abortion, we need immigration to replace ourselves. Right now - were it not for the Hispanics who are having multiple babies aplenty - we would be in the same dying on the vine boat as Europe and Russia.

However as I have stated before I think we should repeal that nonsensical family re-unification immigration policy and go back to immigration to support economic needs of our nation of the time.

And you know, "such" Muslim countries often have their own intelligensia - at least before we have them snuffed by the DOD in a war for lies. I don't think we should ignore our nation's immigration needs for some broadbrush fear about Islamofascism.

Currently I have 2 physicians who are Muslims and they are very impressive. One is a Lebanese Sunni and the other is an Iranian Shia. Their wives work as well - they are not lashed to poles in the house. One is an artist and the other is a nurse.

Btw, most Lebanese are tri-lingual - Arabic, English, and French. Can you say the same about our American schooled dumdums who can barely master English? Did you know that Iran has universities, institutes of technology, as well as med schools? And that in Iran you actually need to take a 1 year college prep year after earning a high school diploma and then sit for and pass a university entrance exam before being admitted to any of the higher education fields. Unlike us who push every jack ass to attend college thus lowering the value of our college degrees, Iran actually has their colleges educate only people who can demonstrated scholastic apptitude. The National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET), also known as SAMPAD maintains Middle and High Schools in Iran - for gifted children. Just because Iran is Muslim one should not assume it is anti-intellectual or 6th century barbaric.

My point in all of this is that Muslim college graduates are not "slur" as another poster opined and in fact Muslim college graduates may be better schooled and skilled than our own AA punks whom we promote from K to PhD's through our "no fail" educational programs.

Yes, our government is balkanizing new immigrants, perhaps purposely so. Separateness is the antithesis of unity. Personally I don't care if new immigrants wear scarves on their head or saris as long as they speak English in public places and they are making contibutions ( as opposed to being taxpayer burdens) to this nation's development and competitiveness on the world's stage.

Bingo, noone, you win the prize!

After all these years of doing business with the House of Saaa-ooo-ddd as well as Turkey Kuwait etc - why is it, buckeye, that suddenly we hear so much on MSM and talk shows about the perils of sharia law and how poor Muslim women are being treated?

Let me enhance the clue that noone gave you earlier - I-R-A-N. The demonization of Muslims is being racheted up bigtime recently because the American sheeple are tired of ME wars for lies. So the neocons need to whip up fury and fear and since they have spent most of their Clean Break wad on Iraq and Syria - none of which has been too successful ( understatement) - what war baiting card do the neoziocons have left but ye old Sharia law/barbaric Muslims.

Be my guest if you want to stay awake at night worrying about President Ahmadinejad or the Saudi Princes coming to your home at night and outfitting your loved ones in burkas and giving them 200 lashes for fun sport - but as for me, I will sleep soundly and not worry about "Islamofacism" taking over our country. I'm more worried about neo-zio-con-lib-ism taking our our country. And frankly I think my fears are more realistic.

You really should spend more time reading history. We can learn much about the present by knowing what was a successful solution to similar problems in the past.

"There is nothing new under the sun." - Anaximander

Of course Anaximenes rebutted:

"You can never step in the same river twice." ~ Anaximenes

Both are true looked at in the right way. History repeats, but never are the players exactly the same or the situations absolutely identical.

There is a lot in your post I could comment on but I'll restrict it to just the points I find most important at the moment.

"...we need immigration to replace ourselves. Right now - were it not for the Hispanics who are having multiple babies aplenty - we would be in the same dying on the vine boat as Europe and Russia."

Of course the question is do we want a continually expanding population? While I don't support the eugenics crowd and their desire to kill off large segments of the population to fit their psychotic world view I don't see a natural reduction an evil. One of the things which inspired innovation in the 13 Colonies was insufficient labor and so innovation and invention was the response. It expanded our country's productivity rapidly and made more efficient use of available labor. Slave societies don't innovate. In the long run the decay and decline. Were it not for the influx of illegal immigrants then invention and innovation would be the order of the day. What you are suggesting, indirectly, in your argument is that a slave society is superior to a free society. I would hope that is not your intent.

" Btw, most Lebanese are tri-lingual - Arabic, English, and French. Can you say the same about our American schooled dumdums who can barely master English?"

While I am an advocate of learning more than one language multi-lingualism is not relevant to our current situation. The Balkanization we are experiencing is not just because of language but because of the invasion of a foreign culture. Lebanon, despite religious differences, is one cultural group with common ground exceeding those religious and tribal differences. The invasion from south of the border is disrupting OUR culture of liberty by injecting large numbers of people who come from a culture in which subservience to a "strong-man" is the accepted norm rather than our tradition of individual liberty and a government subservient to the people.

The intentional sabotage of education in America is resulting mis-educated and undereducated students. It is not that they are stupid, although they behave that way, but that the school system has been intentionally dumbed down. See Charlotte Iserbyt's book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.

" Yes, our government is balkanizing new immigrants, perhaps purposely so."

There is no perhaps about it. This balkinization is a large scale manipulation to keep us apart and from achieving a common ground and agreement. It is as old as the dictum: "Divide and conquer". By keeping us at each others throats over superficial difference, by creating an inability to communicate common concerns and exacerbating the gulf created by different languages, by encouraging the existence of isolated enclaves, it makes US more vulnerable. Our greatest strength is meeting upon the common ground of liberty which all good men, and women, cherish. One of our great strengths is that we that we have had is a common language which facilitates communication. As well English, for all its faults of grammar and exceptions, is the largest and most expressive human language in common and regular use. I recall a French commentator lamenting that we have synonyms for everything in multiples.

The ability to speak and COMMUNICATE in a common tongue cannot have its importance overstated.

b. Of course the question is do we want a continually expanding population?

c. While I am an advocate of learning more than one language multi-lingualism is not relevant to our current situation.

e. The ability to speak and COMMUNICATE in a common tongue cannot have its importance overstated.

a. I would suggest a retrospective/historical review of my posts here relating to immigration - both legal and illegal - so history could teach you what my position is.

b. I never suggested ever expanding immigration policies. In fact I have suggested that immigration policies should relate to the needs of our nation at the time. I have specifically stated that the 1965 family reunification "reform" immigration policies should be over turned and that we should return to previous policies that were based on the nation's economic needs.

c. My quote about Lebanese knowledge of 3 languages was in response to posters who opined earlier on this thread that Muslim cultures were caught in 6th century barbarism and that they should be shut out from our shores so they could die in their "oil and vomit" - a broad brush stroke of racism and bigtory was used on this thread to suggest that Muslims were a dark and eeevil and primitive force on our oh-so refined and hi-brow American culture.

My responses to these arrogant and close-minded ( IMHO) remarks was to point out that Muslims as a whole should not be pigeon-holed - that I personally knew of 2 MD's representing Arab and Iranian cultures and that these men were very smart and sophisticated ( being fluent in 3 languages is usually a mark of good education) and that Muslims can actually be contributing members of Western society.

I've always spoken out against the "invasion" from the South of unskilled labor who come here holus bolus and who are La Raza's foot soldiers to claim southern states for Greater Azetlan. You have no disagreement from me in that regard. In fact, even on this thread I've remarked that our American "culture" is far more threatened by masses of illegal Hispanics who care not to assimilate - ever- than the paltry numbers of Muslim immigrants ( some posters refer to them as Islamofascists) who have come to America, in the main legally.

d. The intentional dumbing down of education stateside is a well known fact. But if education were not dumbed down and AA were not implemented in America how would we attain equitable representation of certain ethnicities and genders in professional fields like medicine, law, engineering? This nation as a whole has accepted social engineering instead of meritocracy - education is but one agent of this venture - I don't think you can blame educators alone for the final results we see in our malls representing 'Merikan culture. ie. we have quite a few dumb bunnies/stupidos here but we refuse to accept that fact

e. I don't disagree with you at all. One of the best things the British left with their former colonies was the British education system and the opportunity for their colonies to learn to speak communicate in English. In fact I've said previously that I don't care if immigrants wear saris or scarves but if they speak English in public and bring skills to help America's future development and competitiveness, from my point of view they are welcome additions here.

You can't deny that 40 Million abortions has led to this frenzied pro- immigration stance of our politicians. We do need to replace ourselves if for nothing else but to pay for the benefits/entitlements promised to older age groups.

But my point is that we do so with immigrants who have special skills that our country needs at any given time and that Muslims should not be automatically shut out of the potential immigration pool for irrational fears about Islamofascism taking over our nation.

" Btw, most Lebanese are tri-lingual - Arabic, English, and French. Can you say the same about our American schooled dumdums who can barely master English?"

Never mind that. What about the embarassment of having a President who hasn't mastered the English language?

My only problem is with the adherents of the pseudo-religion dba "Islam" want to murder people instead of just taking on the governments they say they have disagreements with...

I openly admit that I don't like the NeoCon OWMs, I don't like the World Commie OWMs nor do I like the Vatican OWMs, the Jesuit OWMs, the Hebrew OWMs or the Mohamedan OWMs...

My desire is that those Americans involved in treason turn from their ways.

At Thanksgiving, I always think of this quote.

"You're working hard to put food on your family." -Presidential candidate George W. Bush, Nashua, N.H., Jan. 27, 2000

---------------------------------------------------

Here are a few new ones.

"We're going to -- we'll be sending a person on the ground there pretty soon to help implement the malaria initiative, and that initiative will mean spreading nets and insecticides throughout the country so that we can see a reduction in death of young children that -- a death that we can cure." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Oct. 18, 2007

"All I can tell you is when the governor calls, I answer his phone." --George W. Bush, San Diego, Calif., Oct. 25, 2007

"My hearts are with the Jeffcoats right now, that's what I'm thinking." -- George W. Bush, after meeting with California wildfire victims Kendra and Jay Jeffcoat, San Diego, Calif., Oct. 25, 2007

"I fully understand those who say you can't win this thing militarily. That's exactly what the United States military says, that you can't win this military." --George W. Bush, on the need for political progress in Iraq, Washington, D.C., Oct. 17, 2007

Of course the question is do we want a continually expanding population?

This is an important point. It should be our decision, especially the decision of our women, as to how many children they wish to have from one generation to the next. Our strength should rest on freedom, not fear. The actual fear of raising children is due mostly to economic uncertainty caused by real economic decline since the 1950s. What couple can afford to raise a family on one income these days?

The intentional sabotage of education in America is resulting mis-educated and undereducated students.

Indeed. FOH and I were discussing Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt's activism, including her book Back to basics or--Skinnerian international curriculum? (A must-download!) If we need Arab immigration to renew America's intellectual strength, we might as well give up now. I maintain that it is political correctness that has us convinced that we are becoming weak. Who has taught us this political correctness? That's another topic, but without it, we would be even less tolerant of Arab immigration.

There is no perhaps about it. This balkinization is a large scale manipulation to keep us apart and from achieving a common ground and agreement.

Hear hear.

Well that's not going to be a successful happening as long as our gov't meddles in Third World affairs and props up "OUR" thug-guy/gal with foreign aid $ that goes directly toward building the military might of thugocracies.

Look at what has happened in Pakistan recently - rebellious Pakistani lawyers were imprisoned by Mushie. And Bhutto given the opportunity to be the next leader of Pakistan will be no less autocratic than Mushie, but she will refrain from wearing a military uniform.

Do you think nationalist Egyptians would have a chance against Mubarrek's military if they tried to make Egypt a better nation?

Look what happened to Labanon - just as it was starting to get its sh*t together after the devastation of 18 years of Israeli brutal occupation - lo and behold, in 2006 Israel hauls off and unloads megatons of bombs and ordinances on Lenanon to set it back 20 years.

Look at Iran - it had elected a series of reformers to government and then by gosh, by golly just as things were looking up for Iran, our military invades Iraq for no reason, sets that nation back 50 years showing its neighbor, Iran, how great "democracy" is and then our yappsterinchief has the nerve to advise Iranians to vote for "freedom and liberty" like what Iraq has. We know what happened thereafter - the reformers were defeated and in their place hardliners were elected. And to this day our gov't arms Kurdish trouble makers ( some nations label them terrorists) in Iran to destabilize it further.

If we don't screw Muslim nations by propping up thugs we screw them with military attack or political hijinx.

Apart from the 19 9/11 Muslims - who the Israelis and the FBI and CIA were "aware" ( at minimum) were up to no good prior to the event - how many Muslims immigrants here want to "murder people" randomly? How many Muslims "over there" in their native lands would have attacked Westerners if the West ( primarily the USA and UK and Israel) had not messed with their nation and peoples first?

I see the election of Dr. Ron Paul as a long awaited/needed positive force for our nation and peoples as well as for nations and peoples around the world.

There is nothing wrong with spirited debate, and it may even at times become heated - perhaps even rancorous, but like Scrapper I do not hold grudges against those with whom I disagree or those who disagree with me. We learn and grow by being forced into confrontation with new thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints. However, I will defend my points vigorously without rancour. :-)

And

Happy Thanksgiving To All
