I was just watching Rep Lewis and Rep David Scott on C-Span. They were tag teaming with Rep. Bishop from Utah about mergers and federal aid for Delta. I think there was some sort of hostile takeover bid by another airline. They were trying to act in the after hours congress to raise awarness or something. This of course would affect Hartsfield airport in the southern part of the metro atlanta area. That would be in the jurisdiction of either Lewis or Scott. While I have to applaud them for trying to preserve jobs and finincial security for their constituants. I also understand that they are interfering with market forces. Kinda creepy. You never see these two guys doing anything with the north georgia or rural representatives. It sickens me that they are so raci… I mean partisan in their politics.

Red Herring

I think you and I are talking about two different things. Violence in the community vs. sexual morality in the community. Violence is common sense for most people by the latter seems to be up for debate for many misguided people.

I got a big lesson in “ethnocentrism” in spanish class at UGA. Actually we don’t even have a good term to describe our country. “America” is used throughout the hemisphere more or less. And “United States”, I think is used by perhaps Brazil?? But when you say it in English people know what you’re talking about. Why don’t we lead the way by example with some Swiss Style nationalism? That means every country is sacrosanct. Including small poor countries in the face of corporations and bankers.

James, it’s not a red herring. You are the one who made the statement that homosexuals are the single most important threat to our country, and it’s your entire life’s mission to fight them. I’m telling you that in light of all the problems facing our country today, you and your little anti-gay crusade makes you completely irrelevant, but sometimes amusing.

MD, are we not on a thread discussing the impact on our country about a specific group of Americans? Do you believe James’ contention that gays are more dangerous to our way of life than illegals?

I’m still impressed with Chris and his 113.
You know that research must have taken some time. I was kind of shocked. Of course I never would have challenged him if I had read more carefully. Looks like he called my bluff!

Bill,

Nice question. I’m still impressed with Chris and his 113.

Nice job, Chris.

But, why is your divide between Americans and non-Americans? (I know you mean United States Citizens when you say ‘american.’ Remember, since we don’t occupy a continent, everyone born on this continent is an American.)

Have we declined so much from our past stature as “Leaders of the Free World” that we now can only try to be nationalists?

There’s definitely an effort I think, to strike fear in the hearts of African Americans of the enforce the border crowd. But in reality the real division is Americans and non-Americans. Aren’t there some African American leaders who want to enforce the border?

I can put up 100 similarly brutal incidents perpetrated by heterosexuals against heterosexuals. My bad, I thought you posted about hate crimes of hetero against homo. Good work though! I have to conceed to the fact that there is a lot of violence in the world and that is a very sad thing. It’s good that we have people who are sensitive to the issue of violence in society. However, I would point out though that your argument is a bit of a red herring. While true, general violence in society is really not what I’m adressing.

they won’t notice that the country is being
raped and robbed blind by white males.
This statement only serves to show how racist people like Rep. John Lewis are. It’s shameful that you would continue to divide this nation along divisions of white and black for political purposes.

Hitler was famous but it doesn’t change the fact that he was probably of the most egregious racists in the history of the world. (I’ve just invoked Godwin’s Law, I know) Until people like you stop trying to divide the nation along lines of white vs brown/black, we will continue to argue amongst ourselves while foreign interests eat at our dinner table without invitation.

You got to look hard at this and figure out who is your real enemy. Is it the white folk who live in your community, side by side with you? White folk that pay taxes to educate the community, just like you? Is is the white folk that worship the same loving Savior that are part of the problem? You need to trust in the fact that God has faithful followers of all colors. We need the black community to join conservatives of all colors in upholding Godly laws in this nation!

Illegal immigration is not about racism, it’s about upholding the law and the sovereignty of the United States of America.

A letter about the post

What have you ever been elected to? Student council? Neighborhood watch?
Dogcatcher?

You have a lot of nerve. Most people in this country have never heard of you and
you have the nerve to criticize John Lewis who fought and put his life on the line
so that blacks in this country could achieve the most basic of human rights?
This is transparent divide and conquer and conservatives would love for blacks and
browns to fight among each other so they won’t notice that the country is being
raped and robbed blind by white males. . I for one have no problem with
Mexicans and I only hope that their numbers increase 10 fold so that whites will
become the minority and see how it feels to have your rights trampled.

Congress does have a vote on the laws.
