I have seen the BDS term used many times by folks who don't like hearing Bush criticized. It's just a way to deflect the criticism Bush's performance has attracted, by calling it an emotional state instead of an intellectual insight.

As I mentioned before, the same venom was aimed at many previous presidents. To claim it is new or unique or incredibly unfair to Bush is self-serving, IMHO.

How do you feel about 'chain gangs'?

I keep hearing how expensive the man power would be to build the wall neede to secure our boarder.

Has anyone considered that we could take the violent illegal alien criminals from our prisons, put them on chain gangs, with the criminal employers and CEO's as project managers to build the wall?

That'd probably save us a billion or so between the expenses of incarceration and the expenses of labor on the wall needed to protect us from criminal elements such as them. In the mean time it would be a good incentive for employers to think twice about their hiring practices.
