" That is of course IF they assimilate which we see more and more illegal and legal alike that don't and THAT changes the whole ball game. First off, illegal immigrants should not be here. Period, end of story. If your first move when you come to a new country is to ignore and break their laws - guess what, you don't belong there in the first place. Second, if you come here legally and expect your ethnic culture or home country's societal norms to be accepted when they break our laws or violate our constitution (buzzer sound) WRONG AGAIN. The fear is not "losing a place on the team," it is that the team will be wiped out due to the fact that there is no common ground with which we stand on. Our ancestors came and assimilated to a new life with new rules and new societal norms, something unlike any of them have ever know. THAT is what has kept this country going NOT the ones that come and continue to lead their same lives as if they are still back in their original country.

First time shame on them, second time shame on us! They have been ruining the plans of terrorist for almost 10 years now - WHY low the standards now?

But we’re offering these young men an alternative, saying, ‘Get off the corner selling these bags, and come to this construction site and pick up this brick,” Reginald Akeem Berry Sr., an admitted former gang member, said. No, you freakin' Jackazz! He pretty much answers what the problem is. The problem is WHY would they work they azz off for money that is LESS then standing on the corner selling crack? Also, WHY should anyone GIVE them alternatives - for some reason they can find them for themselves? They can't straighten out their lives unless the government does something? And the GOVERNMENT sees no problem with a welfare state! GRRRRR!!!

You just don't talk about whether you are gay or not. No more discriminatory than a female military member not wanting to hear about a male's sexual encounters and vice versa. Not to mention, people live in very close quarters. You have got to be able to trust who you are with. If I know you are gay and I am changing my clothes in front of you, can I trust you enough to not look at me as a sexual object? Isn't that one of the very reasons they do not mix males and female but it is ok to put homosecuals with hetorosexuals of the same sex? Females and Males don't go together and neither should homosexuals and heterosexuals.

I can speak to that because I was in the military and saw many families go on food stamps because of how little pay they get. So, while some of your article does have merit, and people have mentioned earlier, you can't lump ALL public workers together. Not to mention that Public worker (in 2007) made up about 8% of the whole work force. Now those number are changing but I think public worker are still less then 15% (guesstimate) of the work force.

I know a couple people have mentioned it before but really the Unions are the ones that are fighting for the higher paychecks and they keep uping the value so they can take a bigger chunk. I work for our county governement and they introduced unions way before I got here. I am what is call a "fair-share" non-union employee. I don't get a choice whether I get to be in the union - I have to pay them money because they provide some of the "health" benefits. So I pay my "fair share" to the unions for that but I don't pay enough to be considered a union member. They still get my money and I don't get a choice. All of the upper echilon in the departments (meaning managers and above) are NOT part of a union. It is all the lower level people that continually use the unions to keep their lazy good for nothing butts in their jobs they some just refuse to do.

The only "proof" anyone has the the tea party movement are a couple of people "claiming" they heard racial slurs, however, there is not concrete proof of this happening. Is there racism, yes, did you hear what the NBPP leader said? I would definately call that racism. Do you hear that coming from the Tea Party? Didn't think so.

Is racism out there? Sadly yes. It is everywhere and from every race. However, the NAACP does not do their cause justice by jumping on the bandwagon. the Tea Partiers have been accused of being racist since the movement started, however, there is VERY little evidence to support that accusation. It seems that the only evidence is that the Tea Party has made a stand against many of our government's policies. I don't see the NAACP condemming the New Black Panther's and their rants however, I have yet to hear those types of rants from Tea Party members. I realize that it is hard to see those rants as racism (althought I can't understand why) but they are indeed racism of the most blantent kind. NAACP is not err on the side of caution here. They are making a mockery of their movement.

There is no such thing. Racism is racism no matter what race it comes from. The truly unfortunate thing is that the meaning is so skewed and used to the point that if you disagree with someone of a different race THAT is called being racist now and not having a difference of opinion.

How about they "reach out" or "show how sorry they are" by NOT trying to build a building that pours salt in a already wounded city and nation? Those wounds will not heal. THERE is NO reason to have that location for a mosque other than to step on Americans and their spirit. As Americans, we should not be sorry for who we are and what we stand for and the fact the we WILL not let the memories of our dead be shadowed in anyway, especially by a building that represent the religion their killers supported.

He doesn't have to fix the problem but helping do something about it since there are SO MANY American's who's lively hoods were destroyed and so many more at stake. You are right the government shouldn't help out it's citizens when a disaster strikes, but lets send millions of dollars when the disaster is in another country.
