Do you think I need to rewrite? I can change it. I don't mind honest and thoughtful critics.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I believed you are a Navy guy. What do you know about Seabees? I've got an interesting (to me) thing up about John Boehner, but I was in the NG/Army and don't know how Navy boot camp and then follow up MOS training worked. Any insight from an old, er former, Navy guy would be greatly appreciated. Please dive in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712163977315292252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-5219398183491153592007-09-28T16:51:00.000-04:002007-09-28T16:51:00.000-04:00Bill S., Maybe I read something into your state...Bill S.,<BR/><BR/> Maybe I read something into your statement that wasn't the intended meaning.

I guess it just struck a nerve along the same way when I hear people assume black people all have similar viewpoints.LargeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231452147187641675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-21962805883687484452007-09-27T20:16:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:16:00.000-04:00Hi LargeBill --No, I was saying that there is no s...Hi LargeBill --<BR/><BR/>No, I was saying that there is no stereotype, or stereotypical take on the immigration issue. Obviously -- as this shows -- not everyone of Hispanic descent favors loosening the immigration laws. Just as the stereotype about big dumb football players is not valid either.<BR/><BR/>And Anthony Munoz's support is a big pickup for Phil Heimlich -- an important development in the Oh-02 race. Maybe my wording was awkward? Is that what you are telling me?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712163977315292252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-8512262218035230892007-09-27T20:03:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:03:00.000-04:00"Heimlich landed the Latino sports star's support ..."Heimlich landed the Latino sports star's support despite Heimlich's firm opposition to any easing of immigration laws for Hispanics who settled in the United States illegally. Munoz was born in Ontario, Cal., in 1958."<BR/><BR/>Bill S.,<BR/><BR/>You seem to be assuming that Munoz is opposed to enforcing our laws. Maybe Heimlich got Munoz' support partly because of his strong stance on law enforcement rather than despite it. Are you implying that an American of Hispanic descent is automatically in favor of people ignoring our immigration laws. That would be the same as assuming that just because my grandparents immigrated from Ireland I'm a supporter of the terroristic actions of the IRA. Everything I've heard about Munoz leads me to believe he is a good guy so it is a shame to hear the worst assumed of him.LargeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231452147187641675noreply@blogger.com
