  • No but I’m shocked by how many people want to just throw open the border doors. Have you seen the numbers flowing in? It’s only going to get worse as the world economy crumbles. The money used to support it comes from our taxes. Do we need infrastructure? To take care of our own disenfranchised and needy? Provide services to tax paying citizens? The states have limited resources as well. Unmanaged immigration is not good. Immigration laws exist for a reason. I should know, I went through the entire US immigration process legally myself and even sponsored an immigrant while providing support for them. Open borders are no bueno.









  • I would not say executing innocents is a good thing. I understand your compassion though. It speaks well to you. Unfortunately there is usually no being made whole when it comes to tragedy. I believe the bar for proving guilt when the death penalty is involved is quite high. I have seen the cases of the few exonerated from death row and I am thankful for that. There are people out there fighting for those wrongly accused. However, there are many more clear cut open and shut cases of those not deserving to exist among their fellow man who have done things to the innocent that are hard to even read.







  • I’m glad you took the time to write that out. You took it exactly where I wanted to continue my original comment but didn’t want to over topic a single comment. I have lived in several different countries and am very aware of how America is perceived around the world. Unfortunately I believe that reputation is beyond repair due to decades of abuse of our standing by many presidents.

    You really hit the nail on the head with the two-party system. The blind voting along party lines is the greatest threat to the country and the left vs right clashing could be our downfall. Politicians that want to do the right thing don’t even have a chance because “the party” decides their fate. George Washington warned against the party system in his farewell address. It is why I will not be voting for either party at this next election, but I will be voting. Thank you for showing that there is still civility among Americans and here is to hoping for a better future for us all.
