The "church" cheering for this just uses the very people it purports to care about. Just what the illegal aliens need...more friends.

Often wondered if Canada were in economic woes and sent its people across the border. Thousands of Canadians, standing on corners of US city streets looking for work. Would the reaction to their presence bring out the rage of Americans? Would the church shout "racism?"

I look at it this way. I have doors on my house, and these doors have locks, for a reason. Should someone enter my home uninvited, I am not going to ask them what country they are from, they are in my home illegally.

Racism used for one's own benefit is way beyond the original crime.

KERRY'S GRAY LADY
Re: Jeffrey Lord's In the Tank for President Kerry:

Very useful article by Mr. Lord describing the socialist dump that is the New York Times. How they promoted that lying phony war hero Kerry and celebrated months in advance his elevation to the presidency all through the electoral campaign! Now they are doing it for Barack and his bloviating gasbag Biden. An interesting tidbit on Biden was discovered by Ann Coulter -- as a freshman Senator from his negligible state of Delaware he voted in 1973 (during the first oil embargo) against the Alaska pipeline in order "to save the caribou." Since the construction of that pipeline (I worked for the company that built it) the caribou population increased six-fold! Imagine what the price of oil would have been without that pipeline. It is a great pity that Sarah Palin in her debate with that plagiarizing intellectual midget did not mention this important fact.

MADISON ROLLNG IN HIS GRAVE
Re: Quin Hillyer's Maddening for Madisonians:

Great article by Quin Hillyer.

The Senate bailout bill is unconstitutional because the Constitution requires that all spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. This is not only a spending bill, it is the largest appropriation in recorded history.

Not content with ruining our foreign policy, destroying the Republican Party, turning over Congress to the Democrats, allowing millions of illegal aliens to invade our country; now our esteemed leader has decided to wreck the economy and our form of government before he leaves office. The crowning achievement: give the former head of Goldman Sachs a check for $0.7 Trillion to distribute to his Wall Street friends as he sees fit. Pay them several times what these assets are worth. Create a gigantic new bureaucracy to nationalize every toxic mortgage in America. Congratulations!

Well done.

LONG-RUN THINKING
Re: George Neumayr's Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be:

George Neumayr's article was just great! He has a way of identifying the truth behind the issues of the day.

When I first opened a brokerage account, the first thing they said was, "Don't put any money in the stock market that you can't afford to lose." That's why I think it is unwise for anyone to have their retirement savings in the stock market. Much better to have it in safe 5% insured accounts.

My parents taught me to pay cash for everything.... When I was younger, I didn't have much, but what I had I didn't owe to anybody. In the long run it has worked out well...
