I hear you about the law but how do you plan to enforce the law? Stop everyone that looks Mexican on the street?

1. All their lifeboats are welded onto our ship. When it sinks I'm sure they'll go down with it. Them Canadians too. Poor bastards.

2. India is making a calculated bet against the return of the bull market any time soon. When the bear turns into a bull they'll be the biggest losers. Never fucking bet against America! Even filthy stinking liberal knows that.

Drilling for oil got your vote. we could nerver compete on a teh World market wiht teh arabs no matter hiow much oil we find.

1. Oil is cheaper for them to produce at a higher quality.
2. They don't need for us to buy their oil to get our money. The Chinese will buy their oil with our money. India will buy their oil with the money they make form our jobs.
3. Our advantage over our enemies is technology. We need to use technology to win this battle.

[quote=12thMan;620474]It's worth noting that we won two seats last night. One in Cali and the one in NY-23. The Dems also plucked the mayoral race in Charlotte, N.C. last night.[/quote]


Charlotte does not count, Obama got nearly 75 percent of the vote. That's how Obama won North Carolina.

Its because liberals are liberal because they like the feel good failing programs of the federal goverment.

I pointed out Charlotte because Mecklenburg county is the largest county in the state. So the significance of having an Obama supporter running the city can't be understated. It's not about electoral votes, per se, but keeping a solid infrastructure and ground game in place come 2012. It's a pretty big deal.

On the flip side, it will be more of an uphill battle in VA and NJ now that Republicans run the state, not to mention that we lost some electoral votes in both places.

The West invented oil production. Middle Eastern countries still use Western contractors to run many of their oil fields. You don't know if it would be cheaper for VA to produce oil since there hasn't been a discovery yet. For all we know there could be a large basin of light sweet crude on the continental shelf. You seem to forget that we buy most of our oil from Canada and Mexico, not the Saudis. How would it not be cheaper for Virginians to get oil off our own coast, than to ship it from the Mid-East or truck it in?

Yes, you do have a point with the dollar. There is a double edged sword to having the world flooded with US dollars. Our exports are cheaper. What we export besides our factories and jobs, I don't know? That is the theory though. You'll get no arguement from me about the weak dollar.

Technology will only get you so far. The US doesn't have the market locked up on intelligent people. The Russians have a better space program right now. Also, that technology does us no good if it's never used. High priced weapons platforms are a waste of tax dollars IMO. Why buy all of this fancy crap that we'll never use? IMO nothing beats the bayonet, fire, and the will to use them both on your enemies without mercy.

The only drilling off Va. is going to be natural gas not oil.

(1) You don't have to stop everyone that looks Mexican. That would be stupid for me to advocate because people mistake me for one all of the time. When someone breaks the law they're detained. If he's here illegally (be it from Latin America or a Hezbollah training camp) it will be found out at that time. Our prisons are full of illegals already. You can also fine the hell out of contractors that use illegal labor. Those laws are [U]already[/U] on the books.

I've worked with many illegals in the construction industry. Don't sell the Mexicans short. They can live comfortably on next to nothing and don't need the "Gringo" to do so.

If you believe the laws are unjust, then work to change them.

Just because some people can't get by without someone cleaning their house, washing their clothes, taking out their trash, or growing their food, doesn't mean that others are too lazy to do so.

(2) India, China, Russia, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and a few others are looking to drop the dollar. Will it happen? If I knew, I'd be typing this from the deck of my yacht. Ask George Soros. He always knows when a currency is going to get dropped.

(3) Be careful what you ask for skillet!

I'm aware of how liberals think. You think because we resent do-gooders like you interfering with our lives, that we're selfish "dicks". If what you espoused was just for you, then we'd never have a problem.

Going back and forth with you has gotten boring. I'd rather be a dick than boring.

So you already know what's down there? I'm sure Exxon Mobil and BP would pay a handsome dollar for that info.

I'm fine with natural gas, as long as it doesn't eff up the Bay.

Dubed? I did not vote for him for that reason I just stated that they want to drill for natural gas not oil.
Edit:
Actually after looking it up they do want to drill for both so I was wrong on that. If I'm correct they have allready lifted the ban on drilling now it just will Obama allow the drilling. I also think Obama is for allowing some drilling if its part of a package to cut down on the use of oil.
