Now read this very carefully. I’m not a racist. But let’s face it. We’re in a war on terror here people! Sacrifices are going to have to be made, and people of Middle Eastern descent must be singled out when entering America.
Why? Because let’s not forget that the terrorists masterminds of 9/11 were of Middle Eastern descent.
You think the prime suspects here are Irish nuns, older ladies in wheelchairs, little babies, and pregnant mothers?
No! They’re primarily Middle Eastern men!
For the sake of the survival of America, I think we must pursue this effective step, despite what the communist liberals think.
We did it during WW2. We need to do it here. And if your not for this, your against this country and our efforts to fight terrorism.

Spelling error- and if you're against
Oh LOrd! The Oklahoma bomber didn't create a pattern of terrorism like the Islamofascists!
God is my witness.
I have no problem with the patriotic, proud, loyal American Muslim in this country.
And you communist liberals have no better solutions to offer, except for CAPITULATING TO THE ISLAMOFASCISTS!
GOD BLESS AMERICA FROM UTTER STUPIDITY!
The libs don't want to offend those from the Middle East. It's all part of the softening and dumbing down of America. We can't keep score in games anymore, we can't play tag because someone is "chasing me". We can't single people out because they may get 'offended'. It is a matter of survival for our nation. Nobody is forcing Middle Easterners to come here or be here. If they are that offended, sorry, get a tissue.
It is the Olympic men's figure skating. Out comes the Russian competitor, he skates around to some classical music in a slightly dull costume, performs some excellent leaps but without any great artistic feel for the music.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 5.8: Russia 5.9: United States 5.5: Ireland 6.0
Next comes the American competitor in a sparkling stars and stripes costume, skating to some rock and roll music. He gets the crowd clapping, but is not technically as good as the Russian. He slightly misses landing a triple Salchow and loses the center during a spin. But, artistically, it is a more satisfying performance.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 5.8: Russia 5.5: United States 5.9: Ireland 6.0
Finally out comes the Irish competitor wearing a tatty old donkey jacket, with his skates tied over his wellies. He reaches the ice, trips straight away and bangs his nose which starts bleeding. He tries to get up, staggers a few paces then slips again. He spends his entire 'routine' getting up then falling over again. Finally he crawls off the ice a tattered and bleeding mess.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 0.0: Russia 0.0: United States 0.0: Ireland 6.0
The other 3 judges turn to the Irish judge and demand in unison, "How can you give that mess 6.0?!"
To which the Irish judge replies "You've gotta remember, it's pretty slippery out there."

Young O'Donnell rushed into a church, placed his rifle under a pew and entered the confessional. "Father," he said breathlessly, "I've just shot down two British lieutenants!"
Hearing no response he went on: "I also knocked off a British captain!"
When there was still no response from the priest, O'Donnell said, "Father, have ye fainted?"
"Of course I haven't fainted," replied the confessor. "I'm waitin' for you to stop talkin' politics and commence confessin' your sins!"

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to got to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar was closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face. So he decided to crawl the 4 blocks to his home. When he arrived at the door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom.
When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting, "So, you've been out drinking again!"
"What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an innocent look.
"The pub called -- you left your wheelchair there again."
Loved the wheelchair one. Ah the encouagement of liquud bravery, eh?
Excellent
there are a bunch more questions below. answer them all pleeaase! =]
Would you rather...
1) be permanintly confined to a wheelchair or have a somewhat-serious learning disability (remember, this is a LEARNING disability, not a full-out mental disability)
2) marry an extremely egotistical person or an extremely vain person?
3) get ten million dollars all at once or get fifty million dollars over the course of twenty years
4) have no friends at all or have tons of "friends" who secretly don't like you
5) have a leading part in a somewhat-major feature film or get all As in every academic course (high school, college, and everything else) that you ever take
6) live in a mansion in the middle of the trashiest "third world" city imaginable or live in a trailor in the middle of the nicest city in the world
7) be scottish or irish?
8) kill 1 person to save 100 people from imminent death or kill 100 people to save 10,000 people from imminent death
i asked this exact same question a few minutes ago but didn't get very many answers... so i asked it again. =] sorry if you already answered this.
also, "neither" is NOT an answer. you have to choose one. =]
no stupid answers! (jojo!)
1) permanently confined to a wheelchair - there are still tons of options that you can do with yourself, and while some tasks would be hard I think it would be easier to have a physical disability than a mental one.
2) vain-at least they would look nice
3)fifty million-you'd still be getting a couple million a year and that alone is a few years salary, plus you'd be getting 5 times the amount.
4) have no friends at all-there's nothing worse in my opinion then being led on. I think it would be humiliating think yourself friends with people who hated you.
5)leading part- A's don't guarantee success
6)trailer-you'd be in a nice city and not some third world city, plus some trailers aren't that bad
7) scottish - I like the accents better
8) kill 1 person - I wouldn't want to kill anyone, so the lesser amount wins
