Gotta Love "Them" Borders!

Hey I just saw where President Obama is projected to win his home state! Gimme an H, gimme an A, gimme a W, gimme another A, gimme an I, gimme another I! What's that spell? Damn sure ain't Kenya!

I have heard that Mitch McConnell is urging Romney supporters to join him in creating the State of Apoplexy! They will promptly secede.

KTgender - Thanks, man. It's been fun. And it ain't gonna stop for four more years!

Okay. How 'bout this one fool?

I just learned that if Romney is elected, all television networks, to include Nickelodeon, ESPN, QVC, and Cartoon Network will be required to carry the semiannual General Conference.

They said the same thing when Kennedy ran for office about the Pope.

Enjoy your day. We can all do our crying tomorrow. I hope in my case tears of relief.

I agree regarding the importance of the election.

We must make a choice.

Moderate Republican or Radical Right Republican?

I saw it in The Missoulian.

Still passing on the lies you get in your email I see.

You know that Spanish observers won't be counting ballots, but Second Wind is afraid enough to believe it, so why not throw out some more bad info?

I've learned some things about Governor Romney's plans if he wins the election.

First, the Statue of Freedom that has been in place atop the U.S. Captiol Building since 1863, will be removed and replaced by a statue of the angel Moroni. The statue will be facing toward Joseph Smith's birthplace in western New York.

Current prophet and President of the Church of the LDS President Thomas Monson will be named Prophet Czar. The prophet's portrait will appear next to Romney's in all public schools and federal buildings.

Perhaps most shocking, Warren Jeffs will be pardoned.

Romney will choose not to enforce anti-polygamy laws in Utah and surrounding states. The book "Under the Banner of Heaven" will be banned from further publication. Current owners will be required to submit affidavits that they have destroyed their copies.

All American families will be urged to increase the number of children in their families from the current average of 2-3 to 6-9.

On the defense front, body armor will be replaced by sacred garments. To ensure their effectiveness, all personnel issued garments must convert to the LDS religion.

He will operate with a shadow cabinet, consisting of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

All this is true. I saw it somewhere before.

Zook, just hope the Romney crew and RNC have prepared for what is almost sure to be massive voter fraud. I heard an organization from Spain is going to be counting ballots! I hope this isn't true.

I suppose when the majority of the people of our Great Country re-elect Obama it's because of the rum.

PPPLLLLEEEAASE ! I can hardly wait to hear all the EXCUSES after his re-election

I hope you all serve a little Cheese with your Whine

I'm voting for the AMERICAN !

Also, don't forget to change your clocks back tonight and your President on Tuesday.

Romney and small government Ha Ha!

Texas is a great state and I hated leaving there. We're hoping to get stationed down there again years down the road and buy a ranch. All of my buddies from back at Wright-Patt AFB have it planned out on how we are all going to get stationed back there and live by each other again. It sounds kind of silly but, the friendships you make at some of these bases are just hard to find anywhere else :)

Welp, I better get going. Gonna head up to the courthouse and vote and then down to get a haircut.

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the day and the weekend. Yall be good.

So, as KH was talking about and back to what this blog is about, the lack of borders is killing us!

It is costing over $7 million per day/ $2.5 Billion peryear to house illegals in prisons and jails. Not to mention court cost, lawyers fees, law enforcement, etc. like she said.

On top of that, there are still 10 million illegals who aren't in our jails or prisons that we are having to support in one way or another.

I say we build a fence and electrify it. I will even volunteer a weeks worth of time to help! I voluteered over 15,000 hours in Texas last year so, I'm used to the heat!

And Dave, before you question those numbers, yes, thats 12hrs/day 7 days a week for 6 months :)

Woops, sorry for the follow up.

Right on.

KT, re: your link

For the study population of illegal aliens, the analysis time frame covers arrests recorded in the FBI's IAFIS--dating from 1947 to October

28, 2004.

Looks like the study population is 55,322 aliens.

We'll be praying for his safe return, as we do for all of our service men and women.

Thanks KT

TundraRat He's in the Army National Guard. He graduated from school in Mountain Home. Started 2nd grade here in Jan 78

BTW, those are "round about" numbers and I'm hoping someone can disprove them. Because the more and more I get to thinking about them, the madder I get!

MsMarilyn

What branch of the service is he in?

Does anyone know what our crime rate is on American Citizens murdering in our country? Curious nothing more.

BTW I am very proud of my #3 son "Chris" he is deployed and he is leading his unit. Not sure if I am correct on how to say he is the boss........... commander?

Do you see me supporting the idea that illegal entry to this country should be allowed?

For some reason, my post was clipped. Here's the rest:

Offenses for illegal aliens in federal prisons: Percent:

Offenses for illegal aliens in state prisons and local jails: Number:

4,836;

Offenses for illegal aliens in state prisons and local jails: Percent:

1%.

Major offense category[1]: Homicide;

Category includes: murder, manslaughter, and homicide.

I didn't realize your wife had been in Benghazi. I've addressed my view on the terrorist attack at Benghazi under OM's post "And They Say Romney Has No Plan!"

I appreciate the service your wife performs, but I am astonished that among the hardships that your family has faced through her career, and in particular the Benghazi attack that the lack of toilet paper would be worth mentioning. No money for toilet paper? What are we going to do, t.p. a mud hut? Those types of products are managed far differently than those products that allow us to Fly, Fight and Win. The money is going to the bigger priorities that produce the destructive results we're working for. Jets and drones are still flying and Hellfires are still firing.

As far as dealing with the effects of war from one of the perspectives you're empathic with, my father in law was in Khe Sahn as a combat photographer at the same time your father in law was. My father in law later went to the A Shau Valley. But that was then, and our taxes are being paid to help them now.

I made my comment regarding the $1900 a year for every citizen of the United States to bring attention to those who gripe about others mooching off their tax dollars. The $1900 is what it is, whether one is a veteran or not. When you're a vet here at home, someone is still taking the fight to someone else and that fight has to be paid for. And if one is not paying that $1900 a year, who's covering it? Maybe our guy in the fight. Expecting our fighters to put their lives on the line, in addition to shelling out some tax bucks to cover somebody back here doesn't sit right with me.

With our economy tanking and no jobs for anyone, courtesy of Obama and his socialist regime, who'd want to come here anyway? They'd have better luck staying where they are.

Mr. Thompson:

What is wrong with this picture? We have homeless mentally ill people on the streets, Veterans who fought for our country having to pursue pages of red tape for the benefits that they were promised when they signed up. We have Border Patrol Agents getting prosecuted for doing their jobs.

We have Ranchers who lose money every day when they lose cattle and property is destroyed.

We have law enforcement officials risking life and limb trying to curtail the invasion of illegals who drive drunk, commit crimes in their jurisdictions. Hospitals over run with patients who are here illegally and do not pay.

And entire families who come to each farm area to work as a family for cash while applying for assistance in the winter and taking advantage of our schools.

We have illegals who steal someone else's identity in the way of a social security number and cause untold mayhem with the IRS to get it straightened out.

Pursuit of Liberty does not come with crossing a border, but following the laws of the land. Taking the citizenship steps like all of the immigrants that came before them.

Do I ever begrudge someone trying to have a better life, No I don't. Instead of squeezing the very wealthy to give more than their fare share, maybe, we should demand that these people pay back taxes, repay medical expenses and all of the other benefits of working in this country prior to their applying for citizenship.

Whew! that is a mouthful. I don't blame anyone for wanting to have a better life, but I do think that it is only fair, that they obey the same laws of the land that we do.

America is not a blank check. It consists of many visionaries of all races, creeds and religions. The first budget cut to reduce the deficit would simply be to collect the payment owed to us from those who haven't paid their fair share.

I understand who is protected by the Constitution.

I also understand that whether or not the Constitution was written, all people have been endowed with the unalienable right of Liberty.

I'm sure you all know that those who managed the wall that President Reagan had Mr. Gorbachev tear down was justified as a way to protect those who lived East of it.

Estimates of 100 - 200 people were killed trying to get past it.

Now, we're not building this fence to keep U.S. citizens in.

You're just saying that we start shooting people who's only crime is that they are pursuing their birthright of liberty.

But when in the course of human events, we start shooting everyone that's coming through our border, well, all that lead might end up in the ground water.

And that might just be part of Al Qaeda's plot.

But all fear mongering aside, no one can deny the situation on the southern border is a mess.

We put the legal system in place, we put the economic system in place, etc., but every person has the right to liberty. Not just those on the north side of the border.

I disagree that "Most of the people crossing the border are not seeking liberty. they are running drugs, gangs and murdering each other and others."

Most of the people crossing the border are looking for a better life. And some of them have been working under less than ideal conditions, and may continue to do so once they're in the United States.

Sure, our own nation was born of a revolution. But, the ancestors of the revolutionaries had to be here first, and they just showed up on the beach one day.

And then, after they got here, they proceeded to the Pacific and stepped on a few toes along the way as well. Took some time and had to solve a few problems with the pesky indigents, but Jefferson's dream was realized. And it's a good thing it was. It would have been much more difficult to defend the nation if it did not span the continent.

Bottom line, it's a mess. The wall won't fix it or keep terrorists out. It will slow them down. It won't keep them out.

People want to be free. They're coming here. They haven't taken any of my stuff, other than some donations and a few bucks in tax money.

There is a way out, but everyone's got to work together and leave the hype out while we develop a solution.

And speaking of living off another's dime, the defense budget costs us over $1900 per year for every citizen, man, woman and child in the United States.

If Mitt Romney's kids were young enough to be living at home right now,he would be able to afford that $13,300 for the seven people in his family.

I know my family's DoD obligation is covered.

Which one of you is freeloading off of me?

Probably built by China anyway Joe.

Shoot em! That is a good solution. Come over/under/through/around the wall and get some free lead poisoning compliments of the US tax payers. Do that a few hundred times and there will be less of it.

And we also pay to educate those very same terrorists. Then when they get nailed we pay for their attorney and jail cell and the eventual ticket "home" (if they ever leave that is). Is there not a better way to spend our tax dollars? It would seem the short answer is not to import when we are unable to take care of the people we have.

We have homeless vets on the streets while terrorists are provided nice places to stay and a free education 9on our dime). There is something wrong with that.

Mr. Thompson.

All of the other people who wanted to immigrate to America did so in a legal fashion. They came and learned English. They worked at less than ideal conditions until they could start their own businesses.

Most of the people crossing the border are not seeking liberty. they are running drugs, gangs and murdering each other and others.

A fence to a horse means, this is where I belong. A cow however, might plow through simply because you want them to go through the gate.

If we do not stem the tide, we will not have Liberty to offer anyone.

If my great-great grandparents who came from Sweden, England and Ireland understood that being an American meant sacrifice, legal procedures and sometimes even heartbreak. They also understood that they were not going to get a free ride from anyone.

What do you mean by "Sometimes less is more." as it applies to this situation?

Yea Dave---how about that "Amnesty" program Obama just enacted right before the election to buy illegal votes? Yes, we can blame that on Bush too. I am sure he made Obama do it. Probably held a Jeep to his head!

Bush is gone. The question is what has Obama done during his tenure?

It is a legitimate question because we would not be judged in the corporate world on someone else's record, only our own.

Nor would they accept excuses and blame on the prior administration. Just like an athletic organization, you don't produce winning results you are fired! Doesn't matter how much time you are granted.

It has nothing to do with him personally, but his own dismal record.
