ORIGINAL: slvemike4u And my father's grandmother was a little old black lady......his mother was half jewish......my old man was the biggest bigot I ever met.Of course he was also an asshole,but thats another story. Popeye whether or not Dobbs is prejudiced is besides the point......he had his issue and he rode it.He admired Seriff Joe and rode him like a jockey at Churchill Downs. Bigot...prejudiced ....xenophobic...who knows...all I'm saying is it was lousy fucking television and certainly not worthy of Newscasting in the traditions of Conkrite and Morrow. Well I guess I'm "bigotted" too, I don't want to see a million "Micks" from Ireland trying to sneak into this country either. Some are fond of saying that we're a country of laws but only when it suits them I guess. I think the point is that the people in our govt. have been derelict in their duties in this area probably because of big business wanting cheap labor to undercut the working man in this country. The fact that we have an estimated 20 million people in this country who don't belong here is a testiment to that failure and it's also very dangerous in this day and age. Again, I'm giving President Obama a chance but he needs to start "Changing" things in this area soon! And he won't be changing anything with only 4,000 ICE Agents for the whole country. That can be changed in about a week. Hell, he bailed out banks, brokerage houses and insurance cos not to mention G.M. in about a month! I watched Lou Dobbs quite a bit and his main theme was that our government "wasn't working like it should." Having so many illegal aliens in the country right out in the open is just a glaring example of that dysfunction. And I don't believe most Americans "hate" illegal aliens, we just don't want them in our country. Hell, I "hate" the govt. and big corporations for letting this happen not people who I don't even know! How can you "hate" someone you don't even know? People who call other people "bigotts" or "predjudiced" for being against illegal aliens and the govt and big corporations sound like anarchists to me. What is their motivation for doing so? Are they also "for" rape, murder, grand theft etc? Those are the same people who say "we are a nation of laws" when *it suits them!* lol! Mike, it's funny really, those people are being hoodwinked into supporting the position of big business!
