Default AMERICANS ONLY: Are you angry with the incompetence and indifference of our government as I am?

I'm not THAT angry.All that will accomplish is a heart attack.I understand what she says,and agree with it.For the immigration part,well,mixed feelings here.English SHOULD be a mandatory part of being an american.If I went to another country,I would have to learn their language.I'm not saying be fluent in 2 months or anything,but they could and should atleast try to learn.It benefits them just as much as us.Flags don't bother me,I don't care which one you fly,as long as it's respected.I do believe that any child born here should be considered an american.A child can't help where it was born,nor asked to be here.They are innocent.Do the illegal parents use them as leverage here?I don't know.But I do know that it won't stop immigration from deporting their illegal parents.It's so confusing and mixed up.I'm stuck on a fence both ways.I'm an american and can understand the feelings ya'll have.Sometimes I feel them also.Then again,I married an illegal immigrant.He wants to become legal here,and he has learned english.We are going through a long and expensive process to get that green card.We don't recieve social services or government handouts.Actually,you can't if you apply for legalization.I feel empathy for these people here illegally.I know how hard it is to become legal,especially if you don't make much money and have no legal person here to sponser you.I don't know..I know what both sides are like,and have mixed feelings for both.

What exactly did she mean by"When America no longer becomes a country of european descent it will no longer be wealthy"?America is not (and never been)a country soley of european descent.That sounds a bit "white" to me.LOL,this stuff makes me laugh at times.

I can not agree with everything this woman says .I disagree on more than a few issues.I think there may be more at work here than just"her" opinion.Its just a little to trite for my way of thinking.she seems to have a little too much time on her hands.My daughter is 32 and she owns her own home ,she has a good position with a great American company ,and her husband is a financial adviser .They also own a small business so I don't understand the two kids coming back to the nest at those ages. She has major issues and it reads like just more anti government propaganda to me,I agree on a few of her points but definably not on most.I do not and have never supported this administration.But there is not that much wrong in our country,that cant be fixed by different thinking not by trying to destroy this nation from with in.

Our government has certainly failed middle-class Americans. The saddest part is that I can't see anyone on the horizon in either political party that will not perpetuate the raping of American citizens!

Many good points and it covers both parties and is unfortunately too heavily biased in the opposition of the current administration. Many if not most of the issues can be laid at the feet of career politicians mostly democrats but not to forget the republicans.

"I am angry that my government meddles in the lives of people all over the world but looks the other way on the catastrophic issue of what to do about the millions of illegals who have crashed the gates of this nation. My country?s laws are ignored and mocked, yet I am told I must accept with open arms those who are here illegally. My taxes are used to educate their children in their native language. Hospitals are overrun with indigent people seeking medical care. Untaxed dollars earned in the underground economy are sent to the family back home while social services here are stretched to the limit. I read job want ads stating if you aren?t bilingual don?t bother to apply. What would happen to me if I placed an ad that said don?t bother to apply if your English isn?t understandable? Marches are conducted in my cities? streets waving their countries? flags as they shamelessly demand their "rights." I am told they deserve the same opportunities that brought my forefathers
here. I am scolded that it is un-American to ask why they are not sent home. I am told that the term "illegal alien" offends them and that they prefer to be called "undocumented workers" and that my economy would die without them. I will happily pay more for fruits and vegetables if it means enforcing sensible immigration laws. "

I agree with that.

Some of her stuff contradicts the best way of going after problems in the other areas. I don't think 9/11 was a set up. However, I understand why she is so mad that everything the government says is taken as being as likely false as true.

Are you pushing the 9/11 conspiracy, or what?

Damm... you must be very angry. How about instead of bit.ching here, you actually begin to do something for this country?
And by the way, English is the official language of the United States of America.
Also, you need to get laid, really bad. While you write all this crap, your man is definetly getting some mexican puss.y, since they put out more and complain less.
