You seem awfully happy about the fires

What a coincidence, turns out it was probably arson

Arson suspected in Leander fire

sanity, what are you doing posting to a legitimate news site?

Why does it surprise you that this is arson? Is it possible that this is what Hoffa jr. meant when he said "Take them out!"?

You are such a douchebag.

Well, I'm a "republican" and I don't like Perry at all, and I know quite a few in my party that do not.

He vowed to back the anti-groping policy that came up for vote in Texas and played political chess to get out of it.

He wants to build an 8 lane superhighway right through Texas (from Canada to Mexico) and let a spanish company build, maintain and charge for it...which would be one of the largest imminent domain land grabs in history.

Why would a spanish company build a road from canada to mexico?

Answer: Because they can charge whatever tolls they want to for 100 years.

He's weak on immigration.

Neither govornors nor presidents make immigration policy.
Just who is it that you do not want immigrating to the u.s.?

Answer: I don't want anyone illegally immigrating to the United States, particularly if they prefer to live on an already overloaded social program. Bottom line, in most countries around the world, illegal immigration is not accepted and sometimes punishable by prison or death, certainly almost always be deportation. We can't feed the needs of the rest of the world when we can hardly feed ourselves. It is not setting policy but enforcing it that is the issue.

And for further note, I'm a republican but I hate neocons. I don't promote corporatism, though I believe true free market capitalism is what built our nation strong.

Define "free market capitalism" and just what it did to make the u.s. strong?

Answer: Free market capitalism is when there are no special interests passing legislations or playing buddy buddy in order to give one company an advantage over another. It is a marketplace where if you produce a good or service, the general public votes on your success or failure with the money they spend.

And really I think either side of the aisle are two heads of the same snake.

I could not agree more

I wonder what egregious sins God is punishing Texas for?

Could it be that (assuming that there is a God/dess/It of course), said God/dess/It is pissed off at people stealing God/dess/It's good name and using it for their own crass political purposes, blatant self-promotion or venal fund raising?

That would have to include starting this topic then, wouldn't it?

Lookout, fargle!

I would suggest that you acquire a dictionary.
Capitalism seeks to create monoply which is antithetical to a free enterprise.

Any one who built the road would have that priviledge. My question was why would a spanish company build it instead of a mexican one or an canadian one or a u.s. one?
Do you have any validation of your assertion or is this more of your opinion?

Answer: I don't want anyone illegally immigrating to the United States, particularly if they prefer to live on an already overloaded social program.

Your post was a little unclear. The way it was worded it indicated that you did not care for whom was allowed to immigrate to the u.s. when in fact you do not seem to care whom is allowed to immigrate but rather you wish to discuss illegal immigration. thank you for clearing that up.

Bottom line, in most countries around the world, illegal immigration is not accepted and sometimes punishable by prison or death, certainly almost always be deportation.

What would you have the government do with illegal alliens?
I am sure you are aware that there are two classes of illegal aliens and so also that there are two sets of laws dealing with the two types. What changes would you make to those laws and why?

We can't feed the needs of the rest of the world when we can hardly feed ourselves.

Were you aware the the u.s. is about 5% of the worlds population yet we consume more than 90% of the worlds product so it would seem that with that ratio your statement is less than accurate.

It is not setting policy but enforcing it that is the issue.

You are aware that robbing a bank is a federal crime,just like illegal immigration is a federal crime, but local cops will arrest you for committing that crime...same same with illegal aliens. Are you saying that if local law enforcement arrest someone for being an illegal alien that the feds wont prosecute?
