Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. GOD FORBID WE SHOULD EVER BE 20 YEARS WITHOUT A REVOLUTION!!! The people cannot be all, & always, well informed.

If it's not the DREAM Act, it might be announcement on the Affordable Care Act.... I've been anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling.
ETA *SMH at all the unnecessary comments that have nothing to do with actual policy disagreements and attacking the guy's wife...way to keep it classy. Also, way to get this thread locked pronto.
I really am starting to think that there are tons of people on this site who are just negative about EVERYTHING and want the whole world to know!! They like to start arguments and make life miserable for everyone b/c their lives must be horrible! Just my thoughts!!0 -
This bill is specifically geared toward children or those people who were brought here as children.
When we are kids, just how much say do we have in our parents' choices? If my parents snuck me into Canada when I was 6 years old, is that my fault? What should I have done? Do I really deserve to be booted out of the country 20 years later just because my parents brought me someplace where they thought I'd stand a chance at building a good life? Come on - humanity is bigger than nationalism. Why can't we just try to be decent people?

It's geared towards the latino vote. Otherwise it would've been introduced 1,2, or 3 years ago.0 -
The point many are missing is that this should be decided by the people via their elected leaders -- Congress. This is not something that the Executive Branch (the President) should be able to enact himself. The Constitution is designed with checks and balances of powers. If the President pushes this without Congressional approval, he is abusing power.This bill is specifically geared toward children or those people who were brought here as children.

I forgot how many ignorant conservative *kitten* were on this site. "Oh, I think whatever Fox News tells me to think."
As opposed to thinking whatever Moveon.org tells me?
Right. If you disagree with a liberal, it's because you are brainwashed by Fox News and talk radio. It can't possibly be because you have your own opinions based on actual research, facts, common sense and paying attention to what's going on in the world.
Liberals are enlightened, intelligent, wonderful, perfect people and conservatives are brainwashed sheep. This is the ultimate truth and I have accepted it as you have. I wish everyone else would.
I accept it.0 -
Exactly. With his poll numbers dropping, he has to pander to the Latino community.It's geared towards the latino vote. Otherwise it would've been introduced 1,2, or 3 years ago.0 -

Yes. But all politicians do this when it is time to get re-elected.0 -
This speaks highly of you Americans, disrespecting your president on the internet. Wow!
I'm not a huge fan of my president either but I will never speak trash about him on the internet.
Cos Whether I like him or not he is The President and needs to be respected.
If you don't want him you vote him off on the next election.
Wow! You guys should be very proud of yourseleves! *its So sad*
so you must still be under impression that we get to choose our leader...that's cute.0 -

The President wants to do away completely with the Constitution...IMO0 -
Nothing was passed. The President has bypassed Congress to accomplish his own political ends.http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h2rMiN8T4NLCHPB0pl-VRWCATxyg?docId=3260ee1dbc2f43638498e4b4e9aae1e3
DREAM Act partially passed. I'll update the first post as well.0 -
This is to announce that the Obama's will be taking another high-priced vacation at the tax payer's expense.
No, wait, this might be the rudest thing I've read all week.
Amazing how when we had white presidents no one said such grossly disrespectful things regarding the highest seat in our country.
Are you kidding me? People always say disrespectful things about the president just people are more sensitive about it now!0 -
They should blame their parents for breaking the law and putting them in that position, rather than the government...
Come here legit, work for it, stay here legit and get the benifits. My grandpa did it, others can too. I don't particularly feel like carrying everyone who can run, jump, or bend into tight fitting places in vehicles.
Are you kidding me? When did your grandpa do it, please tell me? Was it in the last 10 years? Times have changed. It's not that simple, and it's not like CHILDREN of immigrants have any choice in the matter. They should not be penalized for their parents' choices (which were probably made in what they felt were the best interests of their children).0 -
I just have no tolerance for people who are saying Obama should resign. It's so ****ing ignorant. He's done some great things for this country. Do I agree with him on every issue? No. Do I think he's done about as good as he can with a congress who has an agenda to vote against him on every issue? Yes. A lot of old school republicans don't even like what the republicans are doing today. This partisanship is killing our government. No good will come of this. As for "liberal" Obama, he is about as liberal as Ronald Reagan. The founding Fathers were more progressive than today's government. It's scary.
I'm embarrassed to be an American right now.0 -

Wondering if I should "put my 2 cents in" and get attacked by my haters. Lmao!0

You have GOT to be kidding me! People made fun of dubya ALL the time. Everything from the way he talked to the clothes he wore to his accent, to his intelligence. Way to re-write history. And by the way, Obama is half white, so what's your theory now?0 -
OMG! This is too adorable!!

Does Michelle know he is eating that ...I thought she banned tacos!?!?0 -
My first comment....to those of you saying that you shouldn't have to respect him just because he's the president....you're right. You should respect him because he is a fellow HUMAN BEING. Holy ****, people. The Golden Rule is a very important rule to follow.
Secondly.....I work in Immigration. This wasn't pushed through before now for MANY reasons, none (that we have anything to do with) having to do with upcoming elections.0 -
Obama will finally announce he is way in over his head and resign. :bigsmile:
Two thumbs up from me!0 -
When you see that the leaders of this country will not budge and that good feeling you had when you protested goes away cause nothing has been done to right the wrongs. Whats next?0

LOL!! I kid I kid. I'm more conservative than liberal. But I don't watch FOX unless football or baseball are on. Does that still make me a douchbag? What if all I watch is The COlbert Report?0 -
