Just stating the obvious about this soundbite from last weekend where Rick Perry compares himself to the Man of Steel. (I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out)

One thing this video doesn't mention, and that it should, is also that Superman was originally conceived as a big old Leftie. His earliest adventures were fighting war-profiteering lobbyists and the corrupt senators who were getting campaign donations from them. He fought wardens who tortured prisoners. He fought mine owners who refused to install safety equipment. He fought auto manufacturers who made unsafe cars. He fought gambling, poverty, and even alcoholism.

What an absolutely stupid video in every way. First, Rick Perry is pro-illegal immigration, so your smug attitude towards him on this is completely retarded and just just reveals you're a bigot mouthing off about people you don't understand.

Secondly, and most importantly, Superman is not an illegal alien. He was an abandoned infant found and adopted by American citizens. All the legal work required on their part in such a circumstance was complied with.

illdoc1, I'm afraid you're an idiot.

when we call a tech support line - or other toll-free corporate number, we are more often than not instructed to press some digit for Spanish. This, my friend, is hard evidence that these new immigrants are not here to be assimilated into the US culture, but to dilute it into a pseudo-copy of what they came from. I certain that I've not missed the point, but rather am very aware of the issues and am standing up for the preservation of our culture; the US culture.

I'm glad that your experience with Polish and Italian kids was so much different than what we are experiencing today with the immigration from MX. Having done mission work in border towns on the Mexican side of the border, I can truly appreciate the squaller that many of these immigrants live in. And having seen that and experienced the nature of their politics and police, I can appreciate their desire to come to the greatest country on the planet. However, none of that hides the fact that
