Why the hell should I care about an non-U.S. citizen's goals? I care about defending and protecting our country and citizens. Since when did we put Americans on the back burner? I would gladly increase the border patrol's budget to increase their capabilities to hold the line. There are only a few thing that the Federal Gov't is responsible for and border security is certainly one of them. I am not against immigration, just abusers who get here illegally, suck our resources and send them back home. Obama wants to spend so many billions on these immigrants, what about our own poor? What about our own unfortunate, out of work citizens. What about cleaning up our problems first before we build a resort complex for the citizens of other countries? I think anyone that is overly compassionate for these people need to look first at our own citizen who could use that same level of help.
Agreed, Americans first.
Disagree that we should increase the Border Patrol's budget one bit, at least not until they get their goons off the interior highways 100 miles from any border violating our Constitution regularly, and instead take their fannies to the border and get serious about actually defending the border. Our good friend PYB will be on Fox News this weekend to talk about just that on John Stossel's special, "Policing America: Security vs Liberty."

Disagree is what I am saying, but access can be a benefit. If you don't agree with me on that, have fun, you need to go read a book on networking and it's impact on your future.
WalMart is always hiring.
Oh, no doubt. Sucking up to a drug dealer can be helpful too, if you need a few Gs on the side or perhaps an ex knocked off. Doesn't make it right, and it doesn't change the company you keep, or your actions around them. What you call "networking."
But I understand for a guy like you, it's a skill in your vocabulary to slob and suck. For a guy like you. As for me, the only way WalMart would enter this equation between you and myself, is if I bought the company, you applied for a job, and I told you "not just no, but hell no." Followed by,
"We don't hire ass kissing politician-wannabes without principle at WalMart. I know you're used to doing that in one uniform, but it won't be the WalMart uniform."

Dudes, you want Liquid here, disagree as you may, he reads the posts, keep them up. Maybe someday in a meeting he will think of what he reads here. GC seems a bit less credible but he seems to be in some high level meetings, exec or not, he may bend an ear. The congressman is just that, he is still engaging which all of you should count as a win, he is a politician with a military background, did I say he was a politician?
I hate being the devils advocate, but I am right.
So you're saying dudes should keep disagreeing as they want, or are you're saying don't disagree as they might want because it might hurt their feelings and they might leave, and then dudes won't have some "connected" people in charge of the mess to chat with online? That would be a shame. Access really strokes the ego and is good for forum advertising no doubt.
Just like at work, everybody speaks their mind behind a closed door with the bros, but at the staff meeting in front of the leadership you see the true colors.

Whatever happened to the congressman who supposedly frequented these pages a year or so ago. I would be interested to hear why he felt the need to stab his fellow service members in the back. http://kinzinger.house.gov
I had no idea who the Congressman was, until page 23 of this thread, and until the Congressman responded about voting to cut military retirements in response to the above.
If the individual using the handle "Congressman" didn't want to be a public servant discussing his public service on these boards, then that escaped me.
I have no other accounts on this board.

No problem. It was one of the hardest votes I've taken, and I've taken some difficult ones. I fully get how people feel, and can empathize. I recently returned from a trip to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Liberia. Each place I visit in my official capacity reminds me how great of a country we are and how great our military is. We need to preserve that power and that's what I have been trying to do, disagreements with my recent votes aside
Why was it hard to vote for a bill that didn't save money, but rather took from military retirees and put it in other pockets while breaking faith with a group of individuals who have given more than anybody else for the nation?
I have a hard time understanding what you mean by "hardest votes." Similarly, I had a hard time understanding what it meant on your bio that "Captain Kinzinger now serves as a pilot with the Air Force Special Operations Command." Made a bit more sense after folks contacted you, and your bio was changed to, "Captain Kinzinger has served in the Air Force Special Ops, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, and Air National Guard."
Do SpecialOpsTankerPilots refuel SpecialOpsFighterPilots?

Border crisis
in General Discussion
Posted
Agreed, this problem has to be solved tactically. Not just by throwing money into unions and lobbies like the Border Patrol, to expand their presence throughout the country. Get them on the border.
This article from Slate, which just came out yesterday, on "Arizona's Checkpoint Rebellion" discusses how former representative ® from Arizona, Jim Kolbe, blocked these checkpoints in Arizona because he thought it didn't make any tactical sense to have Border Patrol people and checkpoints 100 miles from the border. I think he was right. But when he left office, that changed in Arizona.
Lots of pork and other agendas get stuffed down American throats in the name of _____________________ (fill in the blank).
But as this article leads, "Liberals, libertarians, retirees, and activists protest against immigration patrols far from the border."
