MOD PLEASE DELETE THE THE THREAD OR LOCK IT. It has gone so far off topic then what I was intending . We lost another voice that supported our GUN rights and correcting so many issues and lies that we see in the media.

"Lost another?" What do you mean?

I have not yet seen any information about where Mr. Dobbs will end up. I would assume that contrary to losing a voice, this move away from liberal-slanting CNN will probably end up giving him a bigger voice!

Look at what happened when Glenn Beck moved to FoxNews... in just a few months he went from a CNN oddity or perhaps a curiosity, to a mega-star with a new-found freedom to tell it like he really sees it, an unsuppressed view that routinely draws heat from the Obama White House.

I am eagerly anticipating the news of what he will do next.

Mr. Dobbs will undoubtedly go on to more-congenial surroundings. He is too important a voice to be silenced. The only loss here is to viewers of CNN. They are now denied an American voice and are left at the mercy of those whose response to every threat is to bend over and grab their ankles.

Well-played, Sir.

bigot, noun,
  1. one who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.
  2. one who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
Better an honest bigot than a cozening friend. I am bigoted and prejudiced in favor of my opinions.

The accusation 'bigot' is trite, bathetic, moot and anile. I hope better of you, my respected foil.

So does that make the opposite of bigot a politician - one who says whatever it takes to make the audience/voter happy?

Hmm...

It's all of those things, and it remains true in this situation.

You all know very well what I mean. That you call yourself a bigot in defense of Lou Dobbs is really irrelevant. I have never seen you spew drivel the way that man does.

I knew my word choice would upset. I selected it with full cognizance.

So, because I believe open borders are necessary to free trade, freedom of association, and freedom of travel, I'm a lying politician?

My comment addressed the definition Doug posted. Neither you nor your beliefs are relevant to my reply.

Ah, I get it now. I guess that one went over my head. That's what happens when I post while busy elsewhere.

I think I'll back out for now. :p

Lou Dobbs for President and Glem Beck for Vice President of the USA in 2010 !

SEAL the Borders like the DMZ between North and South Korea - free fire zone - no man's land - no people or cargo inbound into the USA - NO Foreign Trade and NO Foreign Visitors allowed for the next 100 years. Anyone can leave the USA anytime they want 24/7, just do not come back.

According to Wikipedia,The United States imports 60% of the oil it comsumes, with the top two suppliers being Canada and Mexico.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to just turn that off.

Heh, not to mention how much more money the average American would have to spend for other purely American made products. While I'm not against buying American by any means, you can't deny it's very easy to get imported (read: import tax factored into retail price) products whose quality meets or exceeds American made products for much less cost.

Until American companies stop looking purely at profit margins, what IDAHO COWBOY and many other Americans propose would do nothing except succeed to impoverish more Americans.

I am am American first and always in all ways. I am not a Commie, Nazis, Fascist, Socialist,or Liberal. I am 1000% for the U.S. Constitution, without deviation, none including any USA Citizen can carry anything they want - anytime they want - where ever they want - regardless of age, sex, race, or whatever ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPA8fGeRUc



Globalization or World Trade or One World Government are all the same and in the last 50 to 100 years has brought us to the mess we are in today along with BS govt programs of Social Security, Welfare, Medicare, etc along with senseless expansion of govt into everything we do including stupid laws like 1930's machine gun and silencer laws along with the Nazis based 1968 Gun Control Act.

Buy American ! First and always.

I have never spent a penny in a frigging WALMART and never will,I will not support Commie China or any other Commie, Nazis,Fascist, or Socialist country - including Canada and Mexico.

By this Monday, we need to roll all government control and roles (laws and all) back 100 years - to 1909 - the last year Teddy Roosevelt was President then by next Friday we need to all back to when Thomas Jefferson was President.

Nearly 100 years ago President Theodore Roosevelt hit the nail on the head when it came to immigration.


"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American… There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”—Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

Like I said, radical extremist.


You're no more American than I am. We were both born here (at least, I assume you were, and if you weren't, then I guess technically, I AM more American than you).

People who use percentages greater than 100 are ignorant. You should know you can't be 1000% for the Constitution, unless you misplaced a decimal.

World trade is necessary for a free and prosperous economy... It keeps manufacturers honest. If there were no free trade, your favorite pistol manufacturer could produce a supremely inferior product that would render itself incapable of allowing you to protect yourself, and you would have no recourse but to go to the next inferior manufacturer in line... Do you see what I'm getting at here?

I live within sight of Mexico andI agree w/Lou Dobbs. So do my ethnically Mex 2nd to 5th generation neighbors. The border must be secured... and it is not. Afew strands of wire between posts stops nothing but feral steers.If that makes me a bigot, then so be it.
