What do you think of these 9 points of the conservative agenda?

1. Make tax cuts permanent.

Nice in theory, but with special interest lobbyists demanding more specialized programs to benefit every person, not going to happen. 

2. Close the borders now.

No.  Reform immigration policy?  Yes. 

3. Deport all illegal immigrants now.

Impossible. 

4. Eliminate bilingual education in all states.

Absolutely not.  On the contrary, make it mandatory. 

5. Require health tests for all recent foreign born immigrants.

What about foreign born military children? 

6. Eliminate as many entitlement programs as possible.

Who determines which ones are expendible? 

7. Reduce the number of Federal Employees.

Yes.....except for me.    

8. Oil Drilling on U.S. Soil.

No.  Reroute expeditionary drilling monies into alternative fuels programs.

9. Tort Reform "STOP LAWYERS".

Yes.  Especially malpractice.  Let people do their jobs without fear of undue reprisal.

Tenek, you said
What exactly is wrong with bilingual education, anyways? English supremacist or what

what is wrong whith it is the fact Why should i have to learn a different language i feel if you come here from a difrent country you should be able to speak English or you shouldnt be here at all we should not have to learn spanish etc the main language is ENGLISH

what i find intresting is that most of you who say that we shouldnt close our borders how do you think some of the 9-11 hyjackers came yes thats right they sneaked in from canada

,and TB has made a come back due to the rising illegal alien population to those who say no to deporting illegel aliens and no to closing the borders i have a question for you ?

do you think we should reward those who cross our borders illegaly? with welfare and ssi benifets , or free health care?you may want to support them but i sure dont why should we cater to them?

Perhaps you've made a point, you should learn English first before worrying about inferior languages.

Borders? How much safer are you going to be leaving other people to rot instead of a few of your own? Isn't America supposed to be the whole "land of opportunity and freedom" deal?

Language? Is it too much to ask for you to at least learn basic (insert language here) instead of making everybody else cater to your native tongue? You've got a large Hispanic population and a lot of history south of the border.

Culture... Xenophobia indeed. You destroyed the culture of the last people to live in "your" country. Then took slaves and killed theirs. And now you want to preserve... what culture, exactly? What is this elusive American culture?

Pop culture.

Mainstream American culture? Open your wallet. That green stuff in there is what some would call the total social fact for Amerian society. You can calculate the economic value of everything in America, every activity, every source of value from children to clean air. It's the master symbol by which all other symbolic systems in America are measured. It is moreover the driving force behind the bulk or our activities and the organization of one social activity after another. When looking for a cultural order, don't look for beautful symbols or arcane rituals; look for what actually shapes the behavior of people within a given society (usually something the natives wouldn't even think of it's so obvious). If you are looking for unifying cultural force in America, look in your wallet.
