Would you rather have millions of illegal Mexicans here, who are by and large Christians, or millions of illegal Islamic devotees coming in? Every generation  
has had it’s “immigrant” problem. Please DO NOT tell me the folks coming in here from Western Europe were “legal” – that’s what Ellis Island was all about. A funnel. The Mexican border has no “funnel”. But I submit that there is a war going on and the more Christians we can install in this country the better we are able to preserve our way of life. I do not know too many Muslims, but the ones I do know are an agreeable group, but VERY single minded. I don’t want that in America! Being Christian has its dogma to be sure but it doesn’t say KILL EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T THINK LIKE US!

So, I say let the people of the south migrate to the north, in harmony with our fundamental way of life… work hard, make an honorable living and contribute to the prosperity of our nation. I say shun the ones that would throw us back 1500 years.

UP with CHRISTIANS! - ISLAM… GO AWAWY! I don’t want you here – we don’t need you here. Damn right, there - is a war going on, and I don’t intend to move BACKWARD 1500 years.

Do YOU?

This is going to end up in the pit…

Just curious : could you elaborate on the “very single minded” part?

I think my sarcasm meter is broken today. Could you repeat that, more slowly this time?

Apparantly, “VERY single minded” = “KILL EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T THINK LIKE US!”

YMMV

**Janx** , there is no debate, here. I would move this to the [n]Pit\*\* for you, but I am hoping that you would have awoken in the morning and shot off an e-mail begging us to shut this thread down. If you really need to express this, then open a new thread in the **Pit**. This thread, with its errors of fact and logic, and its overexcited misanthropy, is closed.
