thinkprogress.org — (w/ video) During an immigration discussion last night, Bill O'Reilly warned McCain that more immigration would "break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you're a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have."

@mjeid"being able to criticize those who don't belong"That is actually wholly, totally, and completely undemocratic."those that don't belong" and "all men are created equal" are contradictory. You can't even rationalize your statement. It is completely unamerican. There's no getting around it, you can't justify what you said.All men are created equal, except for the ones whose skin is darker than mine. Equal justice, for all, all but those who have darker skin.Dude, why do you focus on the color of skin? If you're afraid of crime, fearful of terrorists, you need to wake up, look around!! Timothy McVeigh was white. The Unabomber was WHITE! Criminals come in all colors, they may be black, they may be hispanic, they may even be white. Stop consuming the news and begin seeking out the news on your own. Stop being programmed to believe that it's all about race. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with poverty and opportunity.You're a sad little boy, mjeid.I pity you.

@squigglyp"I was denied a job because a retarded guy was up for the same position. They had to hire the retarded guy due to some bulls**t law. That they could force a small business to hire someone just because they are in some minority sector and not because they're the best person for the job is fundamentally bulls**t."Ahhh, umm, yeah dude, you should keep that s**t to yourself.If "a retarded guy" got your job, then let me give you some advice. It's in three parts....1. Don't tell people that you are dumber than a mentally retarded person2. Go get an education.2. This is advice number 62. Did you listen to the advice in number 2?6. Go get an education.3. Stop blaming the retards. If you keep losing jobs to mentally deficient people, that should tell you something.

I didn't say anything about Lincoln. Good going on dodging the topic. The Confederate states withdrew from the union because of restrictions placed on owning slaves. By supporting a group who formed and fought in a war through the ignorence of racism and bigotry means others such as myself infer that you support this group, and their beliefs. Yes, I am sure there are other political differences but slavery is by far one of the largest differences of opinion between both sides and as I quote Georgia Confederate General, Governor and Senator John Gordon himself, "Slavery was undoubtedly the immediate fomenting cause of the woeful American conflict."Congratulations you support racism.

God help us if that power structure was ever overtaken.

Read that more carefully before you go changing your beliefs.I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, but I don't want anyone believing things for reasons that don't support the belief. That's irrationality--no matter what you believe.

If you can't understand that excessive taxation, especially on wages earned from work, equate to wage slavery than there is no hope for you. Without the freedom to earn your own money through labor and keep it, you are nothing but an indentured servant to the government. The Founders knew this and expressly forbid the income tax which the democrats constantly work to increase and who even the Republicans can not decrease at the same time they must fight a war. This government is out of control and is trashing our freedoms but not through any of the paranoid delusions you have about the war on terror being used to take away citizens freedoms. The supervision of the courts is doing an excellent job of controlling those things, just as the Founders designed. It is the income tax and all the other billions of excessive taxes which are enslaving Americans and destroying our competitiveness on the world market.

Thanks for the link, lots of interesting reading. While the wide variety of topics within the context of this conflict show a diverse view, I would caution people to filter out spin per article, as usual. Purely for reality purposes, calling an attacking force which lives in their own country 'an epidemic of roadside ambushes' or even calling them 'insurgents' is misleading propoganda. Whatever your view on the war, when the oposite side tries to kill you, they are enemy combatants. This is not 911, this is announced warfare. Blowing up, sneaking, shooting, spying, whatever the case may be, against an enemy during open warfare is simply that: war. Please, whatever your view, do not catagorize enemy soliders in a theater of combat as 'terrorists', especially when we are the ones with superior firepower. Plus, it demeans our own forces. When one paints a picture of ragtag villians who are simply scoundrels and not 'enemy soliders', you beg the question "so why do we need all that firepower"? When we were fighting off the British for our own independance, we were chastised and seen as dishonorable because we employed the use of snipers, at the time seen as 'unsportsmanlike' and cowardly. But it helped us win. Right now, we have top-down thermal combat view of alot of areas, superior weaponry, etc. So I really don't want to hear someone complaining that 'boo hoo, the evil muslims set up an ambush'. That is what they are supposed to do. It's a war. BTW: by definition, they are not the insurgents, we are:insurgence noun an organized rebellion aimed at overthrowing a constituted government through the use of subversion and armed conflict [syn: insurgency] We went in a took out the government in an organized fashion, and were successful, at least in that first leg of the conflict. Not saying who's right and who's wrong, but a soldier's job is to kill people. Do not be surprised when they perform their sworn duty, especially when you invade their country. It's just par for the course. thought alot of the articles and the different types showed balance, I just felt the language used was slanted, but that is the right of the author of course.

Anonycrush5000,I'm not really sure what exactly you are referring to though I have a different view of some of the things you mention. Did you check out the "Muhammed in his won words" sections?
anonycrush5000Jun 8, 2007
Actually missed those, checked out some others. I have studied world religions, although never read the entire Koran. I think before I can join opinions on that text, I would have to read the originalsome more. I will check those out tho. Yo have a great weekend. I'll go as far on a limb as to say the world will not end this weekend, (if were alive on monday...im a prophet!) so kick back and enjoy.
