Members Zachman Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 HATS OFF TO CHARLIE DANIELS....AT LEAST HE HAS THE COURAGE TO SPEAK HIS MIND!!! I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me Ithink Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally,made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations. I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to theUnited States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start tryingto give me sensitivity lessons. I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans! I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminaland if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it." It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening. Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when youwon't enforce the ones on the books now? And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday. This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets? If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected.Shame on you. One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality. And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist." And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to. Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ? I think not. All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop. I want to make two predictions. No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre. No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue. I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out." I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others? And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face. God Bless America Charlie Daniels MY COUNTRY IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY,SPEAK UP!I am not against immigration -just come through like everyone elseGet a sponsor;have a place to lay your head;have a job;pay your taxes;live by the rules; andLEARN THE LANGUAGEas all other immigrants have in the pastandGOD BLESS AMERICA! PART OF THE PROBLEM Think about this:If you don't want to forward thisfor fear of offending someone,YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! Will we still be the Country of choiceand still be America if we continueto make the changes forced on us bypeople from other countries who came to live in America because it is theCountry of Choice? Think about it! All we have to say is, when willSomeone do something aboutMY RIGHTS? We've gone so far the other way,bent over backwards to notoffend anyone, that I am now being offended.But it seems no one has a problemwith that. "In God We Trust"is our national motto. This is notsome Christian, right wing, political slogan.We adopted this motto because Christian men and women - on Christian principles - founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. It is Time for America to Speak up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members silverfacechamp Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 He should take the advice somebody gave to the Dixie Chicks and shut up and sing. I'm sick of this trend of celebrities thinking that they have something meaningful to add to political, social, and economic issues simply by virtue of their fame. No formal education, no experience with anything other than the bottom of a bottle and the front side of a stage. If you'll remember correctly, it was Charlie Daniels that vehemently defended Bush's Iraq policy in 2003, and we all know how well that turned out. If he wants to effect change in the political process, perhaps he should run for public office, or he could just shut up. That would be fine, too.

You're entitled to your opinion, just as he is, but that doesn't make that opinion educated or appropriate. There is an incredible amount of intricately woven issues beyond simply saying "OMG close the borders!!11!!1!!!" I agree that the porous nature of the Mexico-American border lends itself to the possibility of major security issues, but that's not the fault of the people coming here looking for money to feed their families, it's the fault of a broken political system in Washington. If you want to place blame, place it where it belongs: the lawmakers and law enforcers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Polar bear attacks in florida would most likely not invlolve the socioeconomic ramifications to this country that the illegal invasion has.

Members silverfacechamp Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 If you read the post that IS where he is placing the blame Partly, but he does a pretty good job of citing atypical examples of 'Hispanics' and 'gangs,' which changes the tone of the article from a political commentary to a racial one. It's a pretty common politician trick: they work hard at veiling their true feelings (in this case distrust/dislike towards Latin Americans) by wrapping it in nationalist, patriotic rhetoric.

Members Stephen Colbert Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 We need to set up a test for these people. Something fair, and equal. Because that's the American way. Test a) are you a women? yes no b) are you hot? yes no c) are you single.....or willing? yes no If you answered yes to all 3 questions. You get a green card on the spot.

Not racist, realist, that is,afterall who the main influx from the #1 invader of America is. What's wrong with saying it like it is. Fact is if they were from Venus, same difference.

Members ratter Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 No comments of the content of the post ehh... Do you really want to know? Ok. I agree with most of the content of what he says. But the fact that you'd post it here means that, by definition, you think it's noteworthy (or important, or even just interesting) what Charlie Daniels thinks. And I find that sad. I can't really think of anything LESS important than 's opinion on anything. You might as well have posted an editorial by Martha Stewart, Tom Cruise, Larry King, Larry the Cable Guy, Oprah, Ellen, Dale Jr., Charles Barkley, Anna Nicole Smith's Three Baby's Daddies, K-Fed, the Geico Caveman, normal Britney, bald Britney, or the guy that plays Spicoli. Because all of them have equally valid opinions. IE, totally worthless. I just don't get the whole Charlie Daniels angle. It just completely random. If YOU feel that way about illegals, fine, post it using your own original thought. Expand on it, spark some discussion, whatever. But do you really need (or WANT) THAT guy speaking for you???? Charlie Daniels Speaks Out! Alert the Press!!! (ps - 20 bucks says this bold and profound statement of his coincides with some single, or album, or tv appearance that he'd like to promote.)
