Do you think Charles Rangel wants to own Americans?
922788
Charles Rangel is a big liberal elitist who believes that amercians for the most part are too stupid to take care of themselves, or their children.  Of course he wants to own the american people, and he will try to do this through entitlement programs, and conscription, all paid for by the shrinking middle class who pay most of the taxes.  New York voters need to wake up and eliminate this social communist from our congress, before we all end up in "Camp".

Would you shoot Americans just because some Gov fat cat that has stolen your future said you should?  There is NO way I would! I don't think OUR soldiers would either.

Yes I would. My grandparents came here legally back in the 50's and earned their rights to be called American. They didn't get welfare from the government. They worked hard to get everything they wanted. I would be at the border with my weapon ready to use it. I say have all the illegals build a wall across the southwestern US then deport them when finished.

Well, it's not like evrey single guard is going to be an arab.  There will still have to be American citizens.  It's just that the company that will oversee those guards will be owned by the Saudi government.  Just the same, I'm against it, too.  I'd be just as much against it if I had known that the company was previously owned by a British company.  Yes, they are both our allies.  So what.  They're not US.  Not only should Americans be the guards, the company in charge should be American as well.

I would think about this:  Can you have them evicted, sell the land to legal Americans, and pay your bills while having them deported (isn't it a crime to overtake a dwelling)?\n\nJust a thought.  Legally, if it's in his name, it doesn't matter how it got there, it belongs to him.\n\nAsk an attorney.\n\nOK Mini:\nhttp://redtape.msnbc.com/2006/03/hidden_cost_of_.html\n\nNinety-five percent of the identity theft cases in Northampton were committed by illegal aliens," Morganelli said. "I really believe this is the No. 1 crime and security issue facing our country.

The only way I could figure to answer this, is to say that if they have arrived in the US and in that respect are to identify themselves as Americans, then it is based on those ideals shared with any and all immigrants who ventured here and founded what would become the Americas... greater freedoms in all areas of life, new opportunities, and simply put, the realization of dreams their homelands could not provide. I think all of us are either in pursuit of such things or the product of them. Hope that answers the question.

Yes, thanks to their economic crash their selling their land to anybody.  \n\nP.S. To the guy who answered "why not?" some country's wont let non citizens own land in their country.  For example Mexico wouldn't let non citizens own land, you could lease it for 30,50,70,99 years but then it would go back to the government.  But thanks to the N.A.F.T.A. Americans and Canadians now can.  Vietnam, we cant own or lease land longer than 30 years in.

Absolutely spiffing idea!!!  It would work too!!!!  These greedy so and so's should be hit where it hurts them, and for them it would appear money is more important than patriotism ..... so, sue every last greedy one of them!!!!!!!!!
1097967
I wouldn't sell my parents.\n "He is so greedy, he would sell his own mother."  This is not a statement of fact.  It is an EXTREME way of explaining just how greedy a person could be.  \nThis statement is not aimed at just Americans, it is aimed at ANYONE who cannot see past a profit.

I think that america needs land's to explore, to get rich and to have influence and to experience weapens&guns.and they choose iran.\nand now please tell me what will you do if a stranger will came to your home and will kill you. would you like him or hate?\n(I am a white girl and not islamic, and if realy I don't like irakians, but it's the truth I guess) are you agree?

hopefully their rate will help them survive. They aren't paying 200,000 for a house  or as much just to live.\n\nThat is going to be our issue if we keep letting companies out source jobs.\n\nAs far as I am concerned, the companies can go as well!\n\nWe do need to put some restrictions on movement and outsourcing.\n\nYes I know it is a free America, but sometimes everyone should have to sacrifice, not just vets. If we don't, who is going to build our tanks? The Chinese?\n\nThe Iraqo's spent a decade under an embargo by us. 500,000 children under 5 starved to death because of that embargo. We might have just as well gave them a death sentence, and now a war where everything has been destryed. It is going to take them decads to rebuild, an ole George wants the REST of the world to do it!\n\nAnd you giys just don't seem to get a grasp on terrorism!! We aren't the only ones who have seen it! Munich, Great Britain, Spain (one terrorist arrested was an American, like the 2 Americans they arrested in Canada), Nosnia, and the list goes on!\n\n"And what the hell is terrorism, anyway? It's not a thing; it's not a place; it's not a person. It is a political and military strategy, that's all. Having a 'War On Terrorism' is as ridiculous as having a 'War on Flanking Maneuvers'. You'll end terrorism when there's no longer anything for anybody to get pissed off about."\n\n"As for now, maybe if we looked at why people are pissed at us, we'd begin to understand. Hell, it doesn't matter whether they're right or wrong; it's what they perceive that motivates them. What you have to address is why they perceive things as they do. Only then will you start to get a clue. And spare me the bullshit about them hating us because of our freedom. We haven't been truly free in a long time. And now we're letting all this demagoguery convince us to give up what little liberty we have left. Big Brother Lives!\n\n"Look at history, man. The Romans began with a republic, just like we did. The freedom and prosperity that followed made them complacent, apathetic. They became fat and happy, and mistakenly figured that government was responsible. Since their government was such a Good Thing, it didn't need watching, so few paid it any attention. Those with a knack for politics took advantage of that to increase their power, and also their stash. Eventually the republic degraded into an empire, and suffered the fate of all empires. They go broke trying to keep control of every place they've conquered.\n\n"We're heading down the same road. Only this time, it's happening faster. It took three, four centuries for Rome to decline and fall. We might do it in three or four decades. Hell, maybe three or four years. Or months! Who the hell knows?"\n\nHe paused for a moment; I could see him trying to calm his breathing. He began to slowly read from the Wall, his eyes moving randomly over the panel. "David T. Hilton. William C. Langham. John A. Gibson. Richard Galan. Danny Lee Frye. Cecil D. Lamm. All these boys blown off the face of the Earth, because we just can't keep our noses out of what's happening on the other side of the world. Ever read George Washington's Farewell Address?"\n\nI shook my head. "He told us not to concern ourselves with what other countries are doing to and amongst themselves. He said it would just get us mired in a big mess. But did we listen? Nooooo. He warned us! Jefferson warned us! Most all of the Founders warned us! John Quincy Adams, about thirty years later, said 'America does not go out in search of monsters to destroy.' Well, now we do, John Q.\n\n"You know what I finally figured out? People don't start wars. Countries don't start wars. It's governments that start wars. Fuckin' governments. And we go along with it. Whenever you see a problem, social or economic

I heard a story once that the natives were asked if they owned this land and their reply was,  " how can you own the land, anymore than you can own the sky and the water? "  Just recently the USA stated that they did own the sky, we already know they have laid claim to the land and are stealing water as fast as they can fromt he Great Lakes.  But you don't think that the Native Americans are ever going to get the same deal that Israel gets do you?  They have money, they own New York and half of the state of California.   Anything they want from Washington they get, like the USA fighting their battles for them in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The claim that the Natives in both Canada and the USA are making may never be settled because the land they would give back to you is already owned by someone else.  Both governments in Canada and the uSA have bungled these land claims so badly that there is a greater chance of the state of Israel getting the land in question before you do.  To the victor goes the spoils of war, despite any treaties the government thinks you lost all those wars and the treaties are too long ago and too muddled up to know if they were ever paid or not.   The USA has entered into a Free Trade agreement with Canada over softwood lumber and the trade court has ruled in favour of Canada on every issue where money was taken by the USA in the form of a tariff or duty.  About 12 billion dollars in all over the last number of years.  The USA is supposed to pay back this amount to Canadian lumber companies.  So far they have not seen a nickel of that money and may never get it.  What Uncle Sam stands for is that he is not ever your Uncle but always someone else's.  Now I didn't say he was from Israel but the chances are he is.  When the Nazi's took billions of dollars from people in the second world war and put it in banks in Switzerland, the Jewish people filed law suits and got that money back about 5 years ago.  Wow is that like an open money machine or what?  Chances of you doing the same about land claims, forget about it.  Unless you become part of the state of Israel you are not in the same boat but good luck anyway.

Maybe.  I heard a comedian say this and thought it made some sense.  The U.S. should just buy Mexico.  Or at least turn it into a U.S. region like Guam or Puerto Rico.\n\nThis would eliminate all the financial based opposition most Americans feel.  America needs the tax revenue that is being lost by American employers paying illegals cash under the table.  Mexicans need American jobs to feed their families over the border.  American companies need the cheap labor in Mexico.\n\nOf course this will never happen because Mexicans have too much pride to sell out and America is too prejudiced to treat Mexicans as equal citizens.

Great question, Alex.\n\nI think most Americana's would.  I know that I would, for sure.  But then I believe that if my country is at war, I need to stand behind the troops and my president.  It doesn't really matter if I agree or not, I still need to be supportive. \n\n\nopen4one---LMAO!

Sometimes I think it is all the fault of the American patriots, that they stooped to the (then unheard-of) tactics of shooting at the British from behind trees and bushes. They used these underhanded techniques, largely learned from the savages of the American continents, to compensate for their numerical inferiority. \n\nThough I share the beliefs and values of the Founding Fathers and their armies, though I cherish the freedoms we have as Americans, this still bothers me.\n\nThe success of the American colonials inspired the French Revolution, which was so bloody it is now known in history as the Reign of Terror. If only Louis had thought to give them a whiff of grapeshot and then fix bayonnets and charge the rabble away! There would still be a Louis on the throne of France. Instead, it only encouraged that unpleasantness with the Corsican adventurer and all the rest that followed.\n\nFor generations afterward, whenever a coup took place in South America, the mustachio'd 'gentlemen' would say, "We are not revolutionaries! We are freedom fighters! Not conqustadors, patriots! Not oppressors, liberators!" \n\nCommunism picked that theme up and ran with it for decades. Until it fell apart. Even now, there are some that think Communism has not been discredited; only that it has not been tried hard enough, long enough.\n\nCommunism funded many people and movements in Africa. And there was, and is, the tension between Islam and the rest of the world. Strategic materials such as chromium and uranium have provoked many a conflict. Less strategic materials such as gold and diamonds have also done so.\n\nIn the final analysis, I would have to say-- as old as it sounds, it is still profound-- the ends do not justify the means. Some may think that we, as Americans, cannot point the finger (given our own beginnings.) \n\nBut if we want there to be an end to this, someone must start. If we wait to begin until there is a nation that has never done such things, we will be waiting a long time.

Maybe he has had enough, this is not the contract with America that he signed. I know that I have had enough. Tax cuts for the very rich. Spend, Spend and spend somemore, maybe he has joined the 71% that does not like the direction that the country is going in.
