And I hear interviews with the GOP candidates.
Rick Perry is out b/c he wants to give tuition $$ to illegals and Ron Paul is WAYYYY out b/c he thinks Iran is fine and he'd leave them be if they got nukes. He also said he'd pack up the troops IMMEDIATELY and bring them home. :crazy:

we should shut down all over seas bases and bring the troops home

#### the world, take care of ourselves

let European Socialism survive with out Billions spent into their economies by Service Man the world over ..... we are not protecting them in a Cold War Scenario anymore

Greece is about to implode ....... better to not be there


and kick the UN out and quit paying the bunch of Socialists as well

and kick the UN out and quit paying the bunch of Socialists as wellI agree we need to get out now but it has to be an orderly withdrawal. Even if a rapid withdrawal works, Paul came across kooky as a fruit loop. When questioned about Iran's statements, he denied they made them :killingme

yeah IMHO we should drop a few nukes on Middle Eastern Capitals and major cites on the way out the door, and dare some rag head to hijack a plane again ........

OH! Ok, I listen on 630am :yay:

OH! Ok, I listen on 630am :yay:

630 am back in the day was wcoa, they played the top ten. I think it was Johnny Dark doing the music, and Bob Bartell doing news and sports.

at least that was the baltimore station for top 10, then when that failed WPGC in Morningside was the rock station,, 70s

It is getting :crazy: now. Romney was never "in", Perry really seemed good until he went over the edge and now Cain seems like the guy (Florida agrees).

Quite a change for 105.9! From classic rock to all talk. AM radio is all but dead. I don't know why they're even still around. Especially when they "power down" around 7pm or when a storm is happening; then it's almost impossible to hear them. I listen to some of the "talking heads" online and on satellite radio. Much better! Savage & Levin are about the only ones I listen to anymore...

Im thinking Cain right now too.

When do you think we should increase our own oil production capacity?

When do you think we should stop illegal immigration?

When do you think we should end ethanol subsidies?

When do you think we should stop bailing out companies with public money?

When do you think we should end Obamacare?

When should we start auditing the Fed?

How long should we typically continue failed policies?

Any other kookie ideas I missed?

:popcorn:

Should we fix the things that need fixing right away? Of course. Drill more oil. Stop illegal immigration. Etc, etc. And, bring our people home.

Perry is against building a wall and I can't remember all the nuttiness in Paul's interview but I do recall laughing in the car. :lol:

Now I heard this morning that way back when, Perry belonged to a club called "Nig*er Head". Haven't heard the specifics yet.

We don't need a FENCE!!! Land of the free, home of the brave, damn it!

We need policy that lends itself to rationale immigration quotas. We need to take action where appropriate. I would make a 30 day deployment to the border a part of every boot camp, between graduation and AIT and have all the services responsible for huge swaths of land. Anything but a fence.



Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.

George S. Patton



Perry's family has a long term lease on 1,000 acres of hunting land and it has been known as '######head" for a long time. The excuses; it is leased thus not his problem. And it was changed several years ago. And lots of people from his home town thought nothing of it.

Perry is, thankfully, done.

I don't care HOW. I just think policy problems should be solved with policy solutions.

Whatever the immigration policy, it MUST included REMOVING incentives like FREE stuff. No free anything; work for it. I am also a national ID guy. I am also cool with paying people cash though I can't, and would never, do such a thing. :angel: Bill people. Charge them for government.

it garnered its name (the ranch) because of the shapes of rock out cropings near by .... and apparently took the state / fed some yrs to purge the names off of maps


(read some article on Drudge in the last couple of days)

I am a firm believer;

if people received their FULL Paychecks and had to WRITE the monthly / bi-weekly check to the IRS for TAXES owed, FICA, etc ... they might take a keen interest in where the money went ......

Except a fence isn't a fixed fortification. Patton smartly observed that when men dig in and sit in a spot, they might as well put a bulls-eye on themselves.

Fences worked exceedingly well along the Russian border, although it was actually built to keep people from getting OUT. I know that in parts it was doubled, barbed at the top and had dirt roads along them for occasional patrols. The stories I've read of crossings demonstrate that the Soviets were very good at keeping it clear.

I'm not in favor of a fence at all if there's no intelligent means of enforcing immigration law once they get on this side. An enormous number of illegals in this country are people who have long overstayed their visas - meaning, they got IN legally, they just didn't didn't go home when the party was over.

I've mentioned this before but - when I was in Russia several years ago, I had to report every so many days on where I was to their state department or be in violation of my visa. The validation stamp was issued to me then, so if called in question, I had to produce it. I don't know if this is true of everyone - I know it wasn't necessary when I was in Ethiopia, but then they really didn't care much whether I was there or not - my visa application took two minutes at the airport. But in Russia the folks with me warned, if you're stopped without your passport OR without that slip accessible by you - you get sent home. I could not check into a hotel without it, and my guess is I certainly couldn't get a JOB without valid ID.

We've just made it too easy for people to stay here illegally, that until recently, they've made no effort to go.

Ah, ha! You've identified the fatal flaw!

because until recently (15 yrs or so) no one care in a few 1000 people over stayed their visa every yr


but with 25,000 Mexican'ts coming across the border every month for yrs ...... it gets problematic

I am an incentive guy. Most people come here for opportunity. Check.
Most just want a better life for their family and themselves. Check.
This includes free schooling, medical care and other social service. BBXZZZT

Any sensible immigration policy begins with a goal; how many folks do we want to assimilate a year? Oh...assimilate. That is another problem. We've disincentived the desire, and any requirement, to assimilate.

I mean, it is all easy, doable stuff.

Thus, another fatal flaw is identified. :lol:

If I had to write a check to Uncle Sam 26 times a year for even one dime, I'd be pissed. In this day and age, having to write on slips of paper and use the mail is ridiculous. If I had to do that, I'd immediately find a way to automate it, especially since the exact same amount would be due at the time my paycheck arrived.

And I can't guess the cost of trying to manage and track payments done on paper and keeping them up to date would add, JUST SO PEOPLE would pay attention to the amount. That, and the added cost of missed payments.

On a similar vein, we could handle state sales taxes by having people save all their sales receipts and send in checks once a month. Like THAT would ever work.

I realize you guys are not serious but the idea is so impractical on its face it's almost funny, since the only advantage added would be so people would notice something they already have the ability to do.

Thus, another fatal flaw is identified. :lol:


Guess I'm not getting exactly what is identified as "fatal flaw".

We cannot assimilate or absorb or whatever term you wish to use - everyone who wants to come here, anymore than you can take in every stray animal that wants to live in your house and eat your food. We can't. There are 20 non-Americans for every American in this country, and from my experience, just about all of them wouldn't mind coming here and getting free benefits. As you've no doubt seen on the NumbersUSA video, even if we took in tens of millions every year, we wouldn't put a dent in the numbers of people across the globe who'd like to live here.

If we want to help people have opportunity, they have to do it in their own home. We can't give it to them here. I've often wondered how Mexico would prosper in agriculture if the country of Mexico would allow agribusiness to own or develop farm property within their borders and let people collect American type wages and benefits.


We do have limits on our legal immigration system, and I still think they're too high. Illegal immigration just makes it that much worse.

If I had to write a check to Uncle Sam 26 times a year for even one dime, I'd be pissed. In this day and age, having to write on slips of paper and use the mail is ridiculous.



... yeah well, true ... ok fine I pay my CC's online ....... let people pay the taxes the same way


point is, people start getting there REAL pay check .... it might wake them up to the TRUE cost of Gobberment

And there's nothing like a baseball broadcast in the Spring to welcome the warm weather! :buddies:

I did a quick check of the entire AM radio band and it is 80% foreign broadcasts. Mostly Spanish, a few in English and one or two in other languages. There is a station every 10kcs from 530 to 1710 and that's a lot of foreign stations here. I wonder what they're saying that we don't know about? :yikes:
