The entire damn government should be ashamed at this point. Both parties are undermining the troops, and the media refuses to report the truth. Every American should get the facts. Every American should know the term "Caliphate". This war is not solely about oil. It is about "Radical Islam". It is about Muslims that have the attitude...no the religion that states convert or die.

So as I said, if we aren't going to fight this war to win, then yes lets bring home the troops. Bring'em home and we will fight the terrorists as they come at us....because they will come. Leaving Iraq does not mean the war is over. It mean chaos will ensue, and in that region that is a dangerous risk considering they have all the oil, and the environmental waco's won't let us drill domestically or build refineries. Thanks you waco's you fucked us good this time.

Once we leave, and the terrorists hit the oil fields, OUR ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE. Let me say that again for all of the Pompous Liberal Americans (PLA) OUR ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE. NO FOOD IN THE STORES, NO JOBS, COLLAPSE. That's an exaggeration? Ya think? Then your one of the people that doesn't realize that EVERYTHING is affected by the price of oil. Trucks have to deliver food, Planes have to fly in the air, petroleum products will effect everything. Our entire infrastructure will collapse. Still want to bring the troops home? Then fine lets roll the dice and fight'em here, but done fucking bitch to me when you family is slaughtered in a terrorist act. I say keep 'em there and take of the restrictions amp is up win this war. It ain't easy, and it won't be quick, but don't pull an LBJ and stay in limbo..then just give up. I don't think so!
So, all of the liberals in Washington want to see a troop withdrawal (or as I call it "quit"). Yes lets bring the troops home and THAT WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING. ARE YOU F%$#*#$ KIDDING ME???

Are you that pompous to actually believe the war ends when we leave. Radical Islam will just give up. Oh, it's OK now the U.S. left....War over.

News flash America.....

We leave, they come. Shall we fight them here or there?

Support the troops, don't give into Americas home grown terrorists the PLA (Pompous Liberal Americans) rhetoric.

That's right I mean Jimmy Carter. How is that possible, well that's where our little history lesson begins....

The United States in an effort to stop Russia from reaching a port in the Middle East (via an Afghanistan invasion) decided to aim it's intelligence agency right at that region.

Worried what might happen to the Arab Peninsula if the Russians succeeded in their invasion the Saudis Funded the Afghan freedom fighters.

Knowing full well that we couldn't let the Russians invade the oil rich Mid East, The Carter Administration jumped in with both feet and feed the Afghan US intelligence via the Pakistani ISI (their version of our CIA). This created an uneasy alliance between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

After the invasion ended what was left was a bunch of Islamic Mercenaries with no credentials literally trapped in Afghanistan with no where to go. We know this group today as Al Qaeda.

Lesson in all of this....:

When you have someone else fight your battles, don't just strand them with no where to go.

Of course that's what the liberals have been doing with the African Americans for years, but that's another blog.
This war is against radical Islam which is much stronger than people know, because the liberal media doesn't report it. Europe is having severe problems with the Islamic Radicals. Some parts of the United States are gearing up to have Muslim law passed, and we are talk in parts of main stream and middle America. Scary. Very scary.
OK let's clarify some things on this "Mission Accomplished" banner on the ship that President Bush landed on, since the liberals want to rehash this.

1. Bush didn't put the sign up the Admiral did.
2. The context of the banner was that the particular battle group had accomplished their mission.

The Radical Islamists don't quit, but liberals do.

Remember it America
"Withdrawal" is the term liberals use. Let us clarify, the troops withdrawal when the job is done. What liberals mean to say is "quit". They would like to see the troops quit.

America was not built by quitters, nor was it built by sissy's. War is hard, and war can be long, especially in the regions we are fighting.

Timetables, another brilliant liberal term. Let's let our enemy know exactly when we are leaving....

I love how Americans where all geared up to send our boys over there....Yes we need to do this! The Bush camp stated many times....this war is going to take a looong time......American public respoded....yes send them we know lets do it right this time!

Now because the spoiled American public doesn't get an instantaneous win and rapid results it's like ok now pull them out...War doesn't work that way hippy!

The American public has not been duped by our president. Things are exactly as they seem. Look at the history of the region, add the fact that they have the world commodity in barrels (oil), did you really believe that we wouldn't end up at war?

And lets be clear on something else. We are not at war with Iraq. We are at war with radical Islam. You don't believe that just ask one of them what the term Caliphate mean.

Learn the Truth America

PS
America is not a Democracy it is a Republic!
Many Americans should be ashamed of themselves. They don't even know what form of government they live under. The United States is a Constitutional Republic. I am sick and tired of people saying this is a democracy the people have spoken and they want the soldiers to come home. The same people are so ignorant they have not clue type of government governs them. We are a form of democracy, not a pure democracy!

Do I want the soldiers to come home? The answer is yes of course I do, home and home safely. But we have to Finish what They Started! (when I say they I mean the radical Muslims). Bringing the troops home prematurely endangers the American Public and the soldiers themselves.

We are there now, it is gut check time. The country wasn't built or protected by sissy's.

God bless America and the Troops that protect her.
To actively go against a current war as a politician is one thing...fine. But to march against one in on memorial day goes well beyond poor taste. Now you have just disgraced yourself. All the liberals in an effort to jockey as far left as possible are really showing true colors...Remember it America.

Permanent Residency & The Green Card
by: Maury D. Beaulier

Permanent Residency. Permanent residency is often referred to as having a Green Card. There are two primary categories of immigration: Immigrant status and Non-immigrant status. Immigrant status allows permanent residency in the United States. Non-immigrant status provides an authorization to aliens for temporary residency that expires upon the occurrence of a specific event.

A Permanent Resident is commonly referred to as a "Green Card" holder. Permanent residents have many rights which include the following:

The right to live in the United States permanently;

The right to reenter the United States after traveling out of the country abroad;

The right to apply for U.S. Citizenship after continuously living as a Permanent Resident in the United States for five (5) years

The right to employment in any work that is legal;

There are four main categories for green card permanent residency and even more subcategories under each main category. The main green card categories include Family Sponsored Immigration, Employment Immigration, DV Lottery, and Asylum and Refugee status.

Family Sponsored Immigration Green Card. Foreign family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents may qualify for an immigrant visa. However, the United States sets strict limitations on the number of immigrant visas allowed each year. The closer the relative is the higher that person falls on the priority scale for obtaining an immigrant visa. Immediate family members of U.S. citizens are given the highest priority. Foreign parents, children under the age of 18, and spouses fall outside of the quota system and usually qualify quickly for an immigrant visa. Extended family members of United States citizens and family members of permanent residents may also qualify. However, the waiting period may be much longer. In some cases, the wait for a visa may exceed 10 years. The priority list for family sponsored immigration is as follows: (1) F-1 - Unmarried Sons or Daughters of U.S. Citizens over the age of 21; (2) F2-A -Spouses and unmarried Children of Permanent Residents under the age of 21; (3) F2-B -Unmarried Sons or Daughters of Permanent Residents over the age of 21; (4) F-3 -Married Sons or Daughters of U.S. Citizens over the age of 21; (5) F-4 - Brothers and Sisters of U.S. Citizens.

The relationship is only one criteria in determining preference. A second criteria includes the country of the relative’s origin. Economically poor countries such as China and India tend to have the longest waiting periods.

Employment Immigration Green Card. Aliens seeking permanent residency in the United States for employment purposes must fit into one of five categories. The first category is "Priority Workers" which includes Intra-Company Transferees of Managers and Executives, Outstanding Professors and Researchers and Aliens of Extraordinary Ability in the Sciences, Arts, Education, Business and Athletics. The second employment category is "Aliens of Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business" which includes Professionals with advanced degrees. The third category includes "Professionals with Bachelors Degrees not qualifying in the 2nd Preference, skilled workers, and unskilled workers in special needs professions. The fourth category is very narrow encompassing "Religious Workers" who are here to carrying out their religious mission. Finally, the last category is based on economic development and includes individuals who invest one million dollars ($1,000,000.00)in a new "commercial enterprise" or in a "troubled business" or those who invest Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in a "new commercial enterprise" or "troubled business" in a "targeted employment area."

DV Lottery Green Card. 55,000 immigrant visas each year are available to those winning a Visa Lottery. The number of lottery visas are apportioned to countries that have fewer visa applicants. To apply, an immigrant must fill out a number of forms detailing their background with the INS. Each year lottery contestants are drawn and notified if they have won. A winning alien may make application for an immigrant visa.

Refugee/Asylum Status. Refugee and Asylum status allows foreigners fearing persecution to seek refugee status in this country. Foreigners outside of the United States may seek refugee status. Foreigners already in the United States may seek asylum to prevent deportation. After approval of Refugee or asylum status, the alien is allowed to enter or remain in the United States and may seek an adjustment of their status to one of permanent residency after one year.

I was in a Sub franchise today picking up food for some friends. On the Television was George Bush conducting a ceremony for our fallen soldiers. The news casters referred to the soldiers as "Americas next generation of hero's"....while I am standing in line simultaneously the person sitting behind me said "Americas next generation of hero's MY A.." right then I spun around (without thinking about what I was doing or saying) threw a finger in his face and explained quite loudly that three of my friends are currently in Iraq serving this great country....and you better chose your next words carefully. Of course the place became very quiet and he turned red, and shut up as he should have...

Point is this, if you are in a firehouse subs, or playing a round on a golf course, or hanging in a night club, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE... OR WHAT YOU ARE DOING REMEMBER: WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING IS BECAUSE OUR MILITARY IS PROTECTING OUR FREEDOMS
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT POLITICIAN YOU SUPPORT BUT YOU BETTER SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!!!
Andy, Wahlon, and Jesse you are all hero's thank you for defending the U.S. I am proud to call you friends and hero's!
Why Was My Travel Visa Denied?
by: Maury D. Beaulier

Why was my Travel Visa denied and what can I do now?

Hearing a consular officer say, “Your application for a temporary travel visa is denied. You are not qualified under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act,” can cause great disappointment and sometimes embarrassment. Here is what a 214(b) visa refusal means and what applicants and friends can do to prepare for a visa reapplication.

What is Section 214(b)?

Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”). It states:

Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status . .

To qualify for a visitor or student visa, an applicant must meet the requirements of sections 101(a)(15)(B) or (F) of the INA respectively. Failure to do so will result in a refusal of a visa under INA 214(b). The most frequent basis for such a refusal concerns the requirement that the prospective visitor or student possess a residence abroad he/she has no intention of abandoning. Applicants prove the existence of such residence by demonstrating that they have ties abroad that would compel them to leave the United States at the end of the temporary stay. The law places this burden of proof on the applicant.

Consular officers must decide in a very short time if someone is qualified to receive a temporary visa. Most cases are decided after a brief interview and review of whatever evidence of ties an applicant presents.

What constitutes strong ties?

Strong ties differ from country to country, city to city, individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account. “Ties” are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence, your possessions, employment, social and family relationships.

Consular officers are aware of this diversity. During the visa interview they look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors. In cases of younger applicants who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, consular officers may look at the applicants specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within his or her country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is supposed to be accorded every consideration under the law.

Is a denial under Section 214(B) permanent?

No. The consular officer will reconsider a case, if an applicant can show further convincing evidence of ties outside the United States. However, due to a person’s particular situation, some applicants will not qualify for a nonimmigrant visa, regardless of how many times they reapply, until their personal, professional and financial circumstances change considerably.

Invitation Letter

A letter of invitation or support from a United States citizen may help. However, this does not guarantee visa issuance. Visa applicants must qualify for the visa according to their own circumstances, not on the basis of an American sponsor’s assurance.

Practical Tips

Review your situation and evaluate your ties. Make a note to yourself about what qualifying ties you think you have which may not have been evaluated at the time of the interview with the consular officer. You should review the documents that were submitted for the consul to consider. Although applicants may reapply for a visa, they will have to show further evidence of their ties or how their circumstances have changed since the time of the original application. It may help to answer the following questions before reapplying: 1) Did I explain my situation accurately; 2) Did the consular officer overlook something; and 3) Is there any additional information I can present to establish my residence and strong ties abroad?

Keep in mind that you will be charged a nonrefundable application fee each time you apply for a visa, regardless of whether a visa is issued.

Can anybody influence the Consular Officer to reverse a decision?

Immigration law delegates the responsibility for issuance or refusal of visas to consular officers overseas. They have the final say on all visa cases. By regulation, the United States Department of State has authority to review consular decisions, but this authority is limited to the interpretation of law as contrasted to determinations of facts. The question at issue in such denials, whether an applicant possesses the required residence abroad, is a factual one. Therefore, it falls exclusively within the authority of consular officers at the Foreign Service posts to resolve. An applicant can influence the post to change a prior visa denial only through the presentation of new, convincing evidence of strong ties. Nevertheless, an Immigration Lawyer may be able to help you present your case in the best possible light.
