Doesn't it ever occur to you that it's an odd coincidence that Muslims don't start killing each other until the US starts dropping bombs on them and "nation building"?

So, for the record, the lonestar card won't buy credible facts either.

I don't care who you are, that's funny!

Actually they were killing each other before the war. Did it ever occur to you that Islam is really not the Religion of Peace, despite what others try to claim?

i truly wonder how many people would complain about this sort of thing, or how much misinformation would be spread about this sort of thing, if most undocumented immigrants were canadians or western-europeans instead of mexicans and people from part south of mexico.

Actually that had never occurred to me until I heard a few northerners complain about Canadian illegals doing exactly what you said (free pre-natal and birthing). Since your on the Texas section of the forum you're probably right that few would complain, but if you post that on northern U.S. sections I'm sure you'd get an earful. Still, I don't know of any news stories that have reported about violent Canadian gangs invading the U.S.

It's interesting that you don't mention African, Middle Eastern, and Asian illegals, because whatever town/city their groups inhabit there are complaints. As for European-Americans (white is lack of color, not an ethnicity), I suppose it's unlikely most Americans will complain about their former countrymen. It's just like how all Mexican-Americans supposedly agree with illegal immigration. If you'd like to know the truth, go ask a Tejano their opinion.

Regardless, we Americans have the right to voice our disappointment about the illegal alien population. The last count was approximately 16-million illegals, that number is only 3-million less than the population of metro New York City, the most populous city in the U.S.

I lived in Jordan for two years in the 1970s and saw no evidence that Islam is not a religion of peace, and in that time, quite a few facts about Islam "occurred to me". Except for the Iran/Iraq war, which was fomented by the US meddling in their affairs, there has not been a single war between Muslim countries since WWII.

LOL!!

Just in the last 50 years conflicts among Muslims have killed over 5 million people.

1971 Bangladesh atrocities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 million+

Afghan civil war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 million +

Algerian Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 200,000+

Halabja poison gas attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 15,000+

Black September in Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 20,000+

Tel al-Zaatar massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3,000+

Iran - 2 million +

Rigghhht.

Syria invaded Jordan in 1971 and Lebanon in 1975.

Saddam invaded Iran in 1980.

Pakistan invaded Bangladesh in the 1970s.

Syria tried to kill the King of Jordan with some huge truck bombs just a few years ago.

Libya and Chad and Eritrea have been at it for many years.

Yemenis have been at it for several decades.

The Kurds and Turks are killing each other every day.

The list goes on and on and on.

That's not true at all, that's a myth among the uneducated food stamp crowd that a $4 bag of potato chips is cheaper than a $3 bag of raw potatoes or that a $1.50 candy bar is cheaper than a $1 bag of carrots. Or that a $4 6-pack of soft drinks is cheaper than a $3 bottle of orange juice.

Empty calories are just empty calories. It's not cheaper to buy all non-nutritious food and let your body crave nutrition.

Do you want to see the list of at least a dozen countries that have been invaded by the Christian USA alone, with unknown millions of people killed? And the list of Christian countries in Africa and Latin America in which there have been "incidents" like the ones you described above? Christians---the religion of peace. How about a body count of Christians vs. Christians in Rwanda and Burundi? Is Northern Ireland on your list? One Christian sect against another.

Nearly every Muslim country was, at the time of WWII, a colony of a Christian nation, oppressed and suppressed by force of arms, and to varying degrees, enslaved by Christian financiers and industrialists.

A relative of mine has been working at Sam's for a few weeks not. He checked out a lady last Sunday who was dressed to kill, fancy hat and all, and she told him she was having her preacher over for dinner. She spent $72.00 on crab legs and other food with the bill totaling $150.00. Guess what she used to pay for her extravagance? Another lady bought T-bones, pork loin, and other high-priced meat spending $560 JUST ON MEAT. I just don't understand how they get away with it. I'm sickened. Most of us work our tails off while these people are on the dole. It irritates the stuffing out of me.
