You had better start apologizing then, michael. What do you think we are talking about when we talk about people who come in ILLEGALLY from other countries? Have you ever lived any other place than NY or NJ? What do you think Ellis Island did with the immigrants that were coming here? ALL were detained there when they arrived to be sure they were not diseased, but were healthy!! Surely you've read your history enough to know that. What I said is NOT a slur. Have you ever lived in the SW? I have! Have you ever seen gangs of folks that carried chains....BIG chains like snow tire chains...? Have you ever seen these folks threaten other innocent folks walking down the street? I have! We do NOT need more people who want to be thieves, crooks, drug dealers, murderers, etc. We have plenty here already of those. All the others who want to come here can come in when it is LEGAL to do so. So where is the "slur" again exactly? I stand by my statement below. Message 22475171

Heh! Heh! Tell me there's no liberal bias at the NY Slimes. Sulzberger's Apology Media Blog Stephen Spruiell Reporting Via Clay Waters, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. gave a commencement address yesterday in which he apologized for the inability of his generation to stop the invasion of Iraq: <<< NEW PALTZ - New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. told about 900 SUNY New Paltz graduates Sunday that he was sorry. It wasn't an apology for anything Sulzberger, who first joined the Times in 1978 as a Washington correspondent, specifically did. It was, for the most part, offered as an apology from a member of a generation that had vowed to beat back world ills, such as the Vietnam War and government corruption, and never let them happen again. [...] "It wasn't supposed to be this way," Sulzberger said. "You weren't supposed to be graduating in an America fighting a misbegotten war in a foreign land. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where we are still fighting for fundamental human rights, be it the rights of immigrants to start a new life, the right of gays to marry or the rights of women to choose." Sulzberger added the graduates weren't supposed to be let into a world "where oil still drives policy and environmentalists have to relentlessly fight for every gain. "You weren't. But you are and I am sorry for that," Sulzberger said. >>> Let's see: During Sulzberger's tenure, the New York Times has endured the misbegotten editorship of Howell Raines, the Jayson Blair fiasco, editorial support for an investigation that led to its own reporter's jailing, an editorial board that has abandoned reasoned argument for nakedly partisan posturing, a free-falling stock price and a general decline in credibility. How about an apology for ruining a once-great newspaper? media.nationalreview.com newsbusters.org dailyfreeman.com
