Thats a really small number. Many more died in Vietnam, and storming up those beaches in Normandy, and lets not forget those hellhole Pacific Islands. And more die on the roads annually too.

Why doesn't the US send all possible troops to Iraq and totally conquer every inch of the place? And then sort everything out, if they really are interested in sorting things out, that is.


Becasue this is not convential warfare or a liberation it is a occupation.
we already "conquered" Iraq now the messy part of being caught in someone elses country and homes with a resisting force is on the table.
The only way to stop the iraqi resistance fighters is genocide.
Or to leave them to their own self-determination.
But it is obvious this cannot be done and get the oil too.
SO now we watch the iraqis bleed our armed forces and the oil wells get sabotaged.
We have been here before as have all imperialist nations, very surprising US fell into the same trap and did not learn the lessons europe learned so long ago.

"Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."
You cannot force democracy and freedom at the end of a gun.
It has to come from within, and we are not even setting a good example sadly.

Because not to respect those borders invalidates everything that people who do follow the rules did to come here and fully participate in American society.


how is letting Immigrants into a country of Immigrants killing the "system"
and what of the words on the statue of liberty?

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.



is that just there for europeans?
Or is it invalid since you live here already?

One difference, they came here legally and contributed. These punks come here illegally and leech.

rleemhui: That statement is bullshit. Prove it.
Steeplerot: You're blind, wake up maaaaaaan.
The problem with that is all of his arguments have pretty much been debunked yet he continues on some strange train of thought. There are big holes in his knowledge base as well. Comparing the deaths in the battle of Gettysburg to Iraq makes completely no sense. As does bringing up the lack of rights for women after the First Gulf War. As I told him the country's economy was devastated. 70% unemployment rates, shelled out infrastructure etc. When things are bad the weakest are the first to feel it, in this case it was the women.


Very few of my arguments have been debunked. Why does comparing deaths make no sense? We have had 1500 deaths and people are viewing it as if this is a huge number for a war that has lasted two years. By comparing it to other wars it shows that it pales in comparison thats all.
Because they are different era's, different circumstances and a completely different set of objectives. At least compare this too Vietnam and even then it would be stretching. The Vietnamese were quite well-armed.

Legally? show me proof before ellis island that there were controls set up for the irish germans and italians. Your same arguement was used back then too, luckily YOUR grandparents made it. They called YOUR grandparents (or great) leeches too.
The diffrence then and now is that the KKK was organized with this same message of leeches etc. whereas all yo uhave now are talk radio punuits.
Luckily then the KKK failed to stop your ancestors as bigots now shall also.


I hope you know where this talk radio biogtry comes from you spew.
Heres a bit of history of where yo uare coming from.


Which groups did the KKK not like? In the same document ( The Klan's Fight for Americanism), H.W. Evans made it clear whom the KKK did not like and ultimately saw as the enemy:
a) "Mongrelized" liberals - because "Liberalism has come completely under the dominance of weaklings and parasites." The KKK believed that liberals helped give rise to the Bolshevism by supporting foreigners and immigrants. (P.6)

Guess what, there are laws now. Of course there was resentment, but the immigrants did nothing to deserve it. These people are coming over illegally while others struggle through USCIS paperwork. What gives them the right to break the law and be accepted (actually more than accepted, we have to conform to them), while others have to work their asses off and spend tons of money to become a citizen?

It was my great-grandparents -- they came over in 1921 from Naples.
 
You are using a few examples to paint a broad brush on our newest americans.
You sound like a recruiter for the klan, spare me until you gt a grip and get control of your hate.
I listened to this crap from skinheads for years and it gets old.

the same lines too "leeches" "illegals" "liberals" etc etc just pure hate to divide america further.

sadly this is what you all call "mainstream" now.

Speaking of painting with a broad brush...
 
well you use the same arguements and words. to the friggin T. (it's not just you though it's all over the place in the past 10 years!)
go read some klan propaganda no diffrence at all.

I knew ton of skinheads who were klansmen over the years and was sickened by the
total embracing of their speech by the right wing since the 90's it's crazy!
No wonder skins died out...they were absorbed my US media.

I first heard this trash from the likes of rush limbaugh I figured he was just a klansman nut but now it's totally accepted.
reagan may have been the focus of anger in the 80's but the republicans kept this stuff
to themselves.
Nowdays people bash me for being "extreme" becasue I reject it..
:shocked:
Well I will not bend and I will tell you as I told them back then

Yes, finally, Godwin's Law comes into play, I'm surprised it's taken this long. You were hinting at it, but finally came out and said it!

So just because you don't like what I say, I'm a Nazi KKK member? Nice!

Count the number of times you have said "Foxnews" "kool-aid" "Imperialistic" Things of that nature. Then talk about painting a broad brush and using the same arguments

Yet you only care when it comes from us Kool-Aid drinkers. Funny...

Oh you must mean my grandparents who came from Italy and didn't help build many of the bridges that now service NYC. Or the ones who came here and made it law in our family that we all learn English because we are in America and if we want to fit and succeed we need to learn english. Or the ones who didn't make it a point to become citizens as soon as they could because they wanted to make a future in this country and contribute. Or the grandparents who never saw, owned or even talked to a slave.

Why don't you go and make a few more generalizations about everybody's history.
 
why don't you try being something besides a stereotypical right wing blowhard?
Your family being Italians went through a lot in NYC no doubt but now that that part is over with gives you no right to dump on newer americans.
 
How about you stop insulting people? And who did I dump on? Maybe it was when I insinuated that everybody's grandparents were KKK members, or blowhards oh wait...you did that.

:thumbsup: If you want an intelligent discussion, Steeplerot, you shouldn't insult people or they won't listen to anything you'll say.

Man I was gonna say something like that but you said it so well I dont need to. The accusers cant stand the light being shined on them! If you dont agree with thier agenda your quickly labeled as fasist, racist, sexist, or some other "ist" LOL.
The pictures provided at the start of the thread ought to be enough of a clue for anyone to see that those protests where nothing but an anti-american clearing house of the disgruntled. Every "key word" place card was there "racism" "womens rights" "anti-war"...basicaly the whole america is evil crowd. I also thought the story on the 5,500 traitors that ran weeping to Canada was just so touching....hope they stay there!
 
well continue to act like the stereotypical racists etc expect to be called on it.
(Or is it ok to be this way becasue...hmm what the excuse..unpoliticlly correct.)
or whatever justification you pick up from the radio/fox

I seriously can't believe how dilusional you are. Seek help...quickly. Forget the protests, forget watching Fox, you need to go see a shrink.

Also, after the shrink, I suggest you work on the vocab, you can do this by reading. Its "Politically Correct" and "Politically Incorrect." See on the first one you say that something is correct politically. On the second you say something is incorrect politically. If you say, unpolitically correct, that means it's correct, just not politically, gg.
