1. Have we hit rock-bottom yet?

2. we're fighting them now so we won't have to fight them...

...when they grow up!

3. &##)#*$&$^%@&@*$($!!!!

4. This shows that 9/11 has become nothing more than an excuse for the US

to be a police state. Bush also says he has the power to round up US citizens without charging them.

5. We need warm bodies to fill up our prison industry concentration camps

So that we can build even more and make investors even higher dividends. Nine year olds are warm bodies too.

7. DING DING DING! We have our winner!

Make it in prison for pennies in wages, slap a "Made in the US Label" on it for marketing and you don't have to learn a foreign language while you rake in the (obscene) profits.

6. WTF???

:grr:

And don't expect our media to cover it. There's not blonde hair (decaying or shaved), no silicone, no funky judge and no dopey eyewitnesses.

:grr: again.

8. Insanity. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

9. Yes, since we are going to allow blanket amnesties to all sorts of parents

whose children were born here in the USA, we should DEMAND the same of Canada.

After all, we don't dare take on The Mexican Government. :crazy:

10. This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

[niyad]

11. dear goddess in heaven, you mean this is for REAL? is it possible for us to do any more to be held

up for the ridicule and contempt that those in government are fomenting with their insane policies?

may they, and all who continue to support them, receive EVERYTHING they deserve.

[havocmom]

12. For real & probably a test to see what We The People will put up with

They are like children pushing to find out what the boundaries are or even if there ARE any. They will keep treating people like chattel until WE make them stop.
