I know shell, but Chuck was probably using it to support his view of me being a bigot, when it was merely happenstance. Immigrations is controlled, poorly. Illegal immigration isn't and you're right that is part of the issue here. I like lots of different people who are here on a green card or not legally at all. All of them though are just as appalled at those (some illegal and some legal, simply extremist) who would disrespect the country they're either hiding out in or looking to get into. Do I think we should start shooting illegal immigrants? not as a first (or even second or third in my example) resort but a line's already been drawn and we're just not enforcing it.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
