Displaying 211 To 240 Of 7,446 Comments What Can Be Done to Stop Children From Crossing Our Borders? Of course the US has had a hand in the troubles in Central America. I find it ironic that the bigots that met the bus in Murietta are not even aware that these kids are all legal now. If their brains were as good as their hate, they would be geniuses. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 9:15 pm Sally you are right, this is not about jobs. Quite frankly the people who are sending these kids here still believe that America is full of compassionate people. They have no internet, no television, they live in homes we would not even ask farm animals to live in, they have no idea how much America has turned in to a nation of bigots and haters. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 9:04 pm Have to agree with you Kes. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 9:01 pm Murph the Italian government is now not documenting refugees that are coming in according to the rules of the EU, so no program is foolproof. Please refer to the law that Bush signed, these kids are now legal, according to that law. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 9:00 pm Murph It is a tough situation but we have to deal with it now and Sillylittleme actually had some good ideas on how to treat them. The adults it is business as usual, deport them in most cases, where there are children involved though, that is a much tougher conundrum. Perhaps if they have family here willing to sponsor them, let them stay. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 8:55 pm It is partly but it is also economic. The cartels kill people, especially in the state of Sinaloa that is run by the cartels. The Mexican government does not do much to stop these kids because it would become an immigration issue for them, perhaps they know of Bush’s signature on the bill guaranteeing them asylum. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 8:45 pm Bush signed a law in 2008 that guarantees these kids asylum if they touch ground in the United States. This is not anything new, it is a rush of children coming through but not anything new. These kids have been riding the “death trains” for years and years. They are mostly from Central America, not Mexico. Adults are coming on those trains as well but they are not under the same jurisdiction as the children. I love all these pundits and politicians who do not even know the law themselves. Current did a documentary on this a few years ago and AJA just did another. It does not matter at all what we think, Bush opened the door for them. » Posted By SueInCa On July 4, 2014 @ 8:31 pm The Court Ruling that Could Kill ACA Hey you made the claim if you cannot prove something why would you claim it? Nice try trying to flip this back on me, won’t work. And at this time I have to tell you I will not be responding to you any further. You answer very few questions asked of you, and quite frankly I do not have time to respond to every post you add here without answering the questions that are asked of you. I am bowing out of this now. Have a good life in your utopian world. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 5:07 pm See my comment below, has Charles Koch ever apologized for these activities like Senator Byrd did? If he did, I would love to see his apology. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 3:54 pm The Progressive magazine and Center for Media and Democracy have released new documents that show billionaire oil industrialist Charles Koch was an active member of the controversial right-wing John Birch Society during its campaigns against the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Charles Koch was following in the footsteps of his father, Fred Koch, a leader of the John Birch Society from its founding. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 3:50 pm Diane Honestly? How do you read something as “something I meant?” It was very clearly in the same sentence as the World Bank, how do you change it around to something I meant? You cannot possibly know what I meant, you are not me. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 9:56 am Diane I am not sure how you deny something in black and white but go ahead and believe what you will. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 9:48 am If you have never heard of the guide to manipulate liberals, perhaps you are not as much in the know in the Libertarian party as you think? As for you supporting Bush after 9/11, you might want to check your “all of us were supporting” because I know I was not and never supported the war in Iraq because I knew it was based on lies. I also never supported the war in Afghanistan, I learned from the Russian incursion in to Afghanistan besides it was Saudis that made up the bulk of those terrorists yet Bush continued to hold hands with them and trade kisses, literally. How do you not declare war on the very country that most of the terrorists came from yet decide to go after one that had no terrorists until we got there? » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 9:47 am Oh so it is, honest mistake. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 6:59 pm Diane » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 5:40 pm Here are some more links that explain what California has had to pay off on the Schwartzeneggar built debt http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/05/14/california-to-pay-off-schwarzenegger-budget-bond/ » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 8:33 am Diane You speak of Jerry Falwell as if he is still alive. He died a few years ago. But what you are saying is the Kochs are above board on all of their dealings. If that is so, why did Rachel Maddow have to back track on Americans for Prosperity to find the Kochs influence? If you have a site where the Kochs are above board and truthful about all their affiliations, I would be happy to peruse it for information. I would be especially interested in their thoughts on gay marriage. They do have a brother that is gay but for some reason he was “ostracized” from the family. As for the budget in California, we have paid down a great deal of the billions in debt that Republican Governor Schwartzeneggar left when he left office. Of course there is still debt, the Republicans did the same thing in CA as they did in DC, they put it on credit cards. Medicare Part D, Two wars, Tax cuts for the rich, all put on credit cards by Republicans. It was Orin Hatch R-Utah who told the truth: Six years ago, “it was standard practice not to pay for things,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. “We were concerned about it, because it certainly added to the deficit, no question.” His 2003 vote has been vindicated, Hatch said, because the prescription drug benefit “has done a lot of good.” If the person who wrote the article you cited wants to blame a Democratic administration for not cleaning up the mess fast enough, which your link did, then he has zero credibility in financial affairs If you want to see the budget for the state of CA, you can review it here: » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 7:54 am Kes I am always going to question controversial statements made with out any citation to back them up. I am also going to question links provided where research shows the writer writes nothing but derogatory stuff about one entity. As you stated, the Constitution is very old, so is the Bible but people still believe it and share it every single day. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 6:57 am Miriam Do you have any proof that the guide book mentioned in the article of 2013 that I posted is no longer in use? I noticed you dismissed the article so I am hoping that you do have something to show that guide book is no longer being used. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 6:40 pm I am not sure the Ivy League colleges are the reason Clarence Thomas cannot write a comprehensive opinion. It seems to me he is not a very productive member of the court overall. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 6:35 pm Miriam You wrote: You agreed with Sue’s “bait and switch” reference. Did you go to the link she gave and actually read it? It was a very badly slanted description of a 37 year old article. How so? How is it very badly slanted? Are you saying it is as badly slanted as the article you posted for me to read by Forbes? » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 6:32 pm No wonder Rick Perry turned to Ron Paul at the debates when he could not remember all the government agencies he would get rid of. As a pseudo Libertarian, Ron Paul would know. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 11:55 am Conversely, Sally, they claimed Chavez was a monster but could never give any credible answer as to why they thought so. It turns out that Chavez, Morales, and both the de Kirchners(husband wife Presidents at different times), da Silva, Correa, Lugo and Castro all paid off the World Bank and refused new loans. This angered Bush and when people like him get mad, they demonize the “supposed” perpetrators. Much of what our press reported about South America was either an outright lie or a half truth. When people go against the world powers, they are no longer legitimate. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 11:52 am In your own word, the Kochs Lies: “On the right they don’t talk about their other positions because if they let some of them be generally known, it might make their constituents repudiate them. Can you imagine Jerry Falwell’s gang knowingly looking for backing or accepting money from someone who is in favor of gay marriage? The law and order lock ‘em all up crowd knowingly looking for backing or accepting money from someone who is in favor of legalising drugs? Smart choice, to do their best to keep the Kochs’ other positions off the public radar.” » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 10:12 am Diane you posted a link to Forbes written by a man who seems to have a grudge against California, Gov Brown and Democrats in particular. Every single post he wrote that is listed on Forbes is against all of these people and our state. His website is a cornucopia of negative articles about the same. He was the Chairman of the California Republican party. Yet you ask me to read his opinions and you think his opinions will be anything but right wing? He is an attorney, not an economist. He makes a lot of claims, with no citations so how is one supposed to believe those claims? Usually when people cite studies, they cite the actual study and provide a link. He did none of that, I am just supposed to believe him because he claims it. Sorry no dice. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 10:09 am One more question for you Diane. You stated that it is better to turn social services functions over to private donors because it is better to have a person who funds something all the time than to have a government who can pull the plug anytime they want. What is it that secures charity donations by private donors and how does a social service agency guarantee that donor will always donate? » Posted By SueInCa On July 9, 2014 @ 11:07 am Again your comment below to Kes and I has nothing to support any of your claims. Quite honestly, Diane, I am not one to waste my time on posters who make claims without any documentation. I am not going to keep answering, over a period of time, someone who has no credible citations to back up their claims. I have studied the Kochs and the Religious Right for the past 6 years, I know the ins and outs of the connections between the two. You claim the Cato Institute puts out factual information so I will tell you there are left leaning think tanks that have put out plenty of info on both of these subjects, complete with citations so you must believe they are true as well. BTW what is your point about California and comparing us to Detroit? You are aware that in the four years Brown has been in the Governor’s office and has had a Dem leaning Assembly that we are now running a surplus? What does California have to do with Detroit? » Posted By SueInCa On July 9, 2014 @ 10:58 am Diane You obviously did not get my main point. And it goes for everything you mentioned. It does not matter how much you claim to be for this and for that if on the other side you are supporting the very causes you say you are against. THAT is a lie. THAT is a huge lie. THAT is hypocritical and THAT is what they do because they know the people who follow them are not going to question them. When the Kochs published a manifesto in their own magazine on how to trick Liberals, there is no way you can call them above board or claim to not know what they are thinking. And though you did not provide any links to support your claims, I will do it for you. https://www.nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/lying-to-liberals/ » Posted By SueInCa On July 9, 2014 @ 10:46 am Kt I do agree with much of what you have said here. I think the excuse that many many more would die is just like an American who does not want to take responsibility for their actions, we have many past and present who fall in to this category. If that was the case it still does not justifying killing so many in such a horrible way, right? I have read and watched a great deal of stuff on the war and my humble opinion is that once Hitler was dead and Italy had given up, it would not be long for Japan. As things stood at the end, they would have possibly been fighting both the Soviet Union and the US and even with the horrors they visited on the Chinese, they were not strong enough to go it alone against those two nations. I could be wrong but logically that seems to me to be a good reason. Or perhaps the US could not take the chance that the Soviet Union would go in a take over Germany if they were otherwise occupied? I rather doubt that, though since there was already an occupation force right after Germany surrendered in early May 1945 » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 4:37 pm KT Trinity and Beyond and Bikini Atoll really solidified my opposition to anything nuclear. I was alarmed at the words Truman spoke after the bombs were dropped. “With God on our side…..”I have always been against war but when I heard that it, kind of solidified for me the idea that men who wage war have to use God as a crutch to explain their devious actions. The testing they and other countries did in the aftermath of WWII is prob a partial reason for upticks in cases of cancer and other diseases as well. People displaced from their homes in order for a country to test their war toys? I have a real hard time believing “god is on our side” when I really look at what this country has done. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 2:58 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
You cannot return these children, according to the law Bush signed is it the same as “wet feet/dryfeet” for Cubans. The law only applies to children in this case but my guess is ICE has been lax on dealing with the kids and now it is a crisis. I really doubt all these children came over at once. The path they have to take is far too arduous to allow that many to flood in at one time unless they all waited at the border to cross over en masse.

Did I say they stopped borrowing completely? I said they paid off their loans to the World Bank. Not sure how you think a loan from Russia is in any way connected to the world bank or why it is relevant.
I am not comparing you to the Kochs, I am saying the Kochs are the Libertarian branch of the Republican party. Are you saying because a guide is 37 years old it is not relevant? What does that say for the Constitution and the Bible?
