Wow, Linux_user.... just wow.

*Health care is not covered as a right. Go back and read the Constitution again. Read the Bill of Rights again as well. Nowhere in either document does it mention health care being a right. Also it clearly defines what a legal resident is entitled to for rights and that illegals have none. Not even by proxy. You see, I studied these documents as well. Because I spent 14 years defending them.

Inalienable rights, Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So, if we have a right to life, we have a right to things that keep us living. What does that, praytell? Healthcare? As for illegal immigrants, you get to pay for their health either way. Either the cheaper way, or the costs of them going to EMERGENCY rooms. Your choice.

*Sorry but you and your liberal ilk are why we are heading down the tubes. As for doubting my arse busting, walk a mile in my shoes bud... until then you haven't a clue. And no, I am not some well off snob, just an average Joe that works hard for what he has. I may not have personally done anything 235 years ago, but my family sure did. They fought the Red Coats and the Tories and kick their arses the hell on out and created a country. One of my ancestors (still validating the connection... but so far it looks to be accurate) signed the Declaration of Independence and was a Secretary of Treasury as well as one of the authors of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers which clearly define the intent of many of the Amendments within the Constitution.

I'd blame that on starting a war, and giving two tax cuts. A lack of regulation is a second ingredient. Mix it with a lack of actually good education, and what do you have? A FAILED ECONOMY. Also, your family might have done a lot back then, but from what I've seen you post? You value words on a paper more than anything. You'd be a British citizen.

*
I don't care what they do to each other. Let them kill each other off if that's what they want. But I do care because their violence spills over into the peaceful citizenry that has no desire to be involved with such moronic behavior. So in that light it is my problem and I do care. Especially when good LAW abiding citizens are living in needless fear. The police are all but helpless against theses gangs, thanks to bleeding hearts like yourself. And so are many citizens, again thanks to bleeding hearts such as yourself.

Thanks to politicians of both sides, actually, who rely on their votes to get them elected. Immigrants gave GW 2000 and 2004, do you think he actually tried to do anything about it?

*First off our economy in California is not based on the movie industry alone, we still have Silicon valley a massive agricultural base as well as alternative power manufacturing industries. Our fiscal problems stem from several issues. One being the massive drain by illegals on our medical systems as well as the money that is exported from the California economy to the Mexican economy. Another issue is the damn liberals... again, pushing regulations and taxing businesses right out of the state. Then factor in the housing bubble that just burst last year. So no there are many aspects to the problem. And the easiest to address is the illegal immigrant issue.

Our economy tanking had little to do with the illegal "issue" and everything with poor management. See, a lack of regulation aided the financial sector by not making them actually make fiscally responsible decisions. It also made sure that GM didn't have to increase their efficiency (notice that Toyota didn't have to declare bankruptcy!), and another is healthcare. You realize that Canada gets industry we don't because their single payer system is cheaper for businesses? Also, and this is probably going to be ignored, but also blame the current state of unions. The UAW is bleeding GM dry.

*No actually what is making it dangerous for Americans to travel abroad is our not adhering to our Constitutional mandates. If we would stop meddling in other countries affairs and stop over throwing foreign governments and stop invading sovereign nations then we wouldn't be so despised. But because both the Democrats and Republicans (of which neither am I affiliated with) have veered away from our Constitution, we as a nation are suffering. And the liberal way is not the way to get back on track. Reeling corporate power back under it's original tenets and going back to our core Constitutional way of governance and stop meddling in the affairs of other sovereign nations then we can truly fix things. Health care is not a right and the government, the REPUBLIC of America, we are not and never have been a Democracy and any that say we are are either blithering idiots or liberals intent on undermining the Republic. Reigning in the abusive corporate entities that are driving our health care costs are the solution. Not socialized medicine.

This rant just made you sound like a nutjob.
