re: Let me make clear to you, proud son of a Korean emigré......if it weren't for my ancestors and the ancestors of other liberals, there wouldn't be an America for your parents to migrate. In fact, if it weren't for liberals, you still would be working in your parents business somewhere in Korea. And if you were lucky to get a chance to move here, you wouldn't be living in the OC.

You owe us, dude, whether you're willing to acknowledge us or not.

To say nothing of the 10,000 US soldiers lost in the Korean war. Kim could be in charge of a "united" Korea, with no immigration.


Can you believe the unmitigated gall? Telling native born Americans that foreigners have a better right to live in the US than they do. I think we need to restructure our immigration laws and keep as many foreigners out as possible. They and their progeny don't have a clue what it is to be an American. But they think they know enough to determine who should live here and who shouldn't. Such horseshit!

To all pacifists on this board.

Not without certain qualities IMO...

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He hoped his shoes were shining,

Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek?

To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,

"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,

That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime,

When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though at times I shook with fear.

And sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,

It needn't be so grand.

I never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

You've borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,

You've done your time in Hell."
