Interesting.... the article addressed tourist visas. Not work visas or applications for citizenship; but for visitation.

Undocumented persons in the USA....now are you saying that these people who applied for visas are in this country illegally. Of interest, I will not say there are no Jews in the US who should have gone home and overstayed their welcome....hell, to most people that includes all of us.

But, sure some may be here uninvited by the government. Some sources say 2 percent while others say 5 percent, come from the middle east are undocumented trespassers on US soil. This does not say exactly how many of these are from Israel, and the middle east is a big place. If you do the research, you will find that 4 percent of the Canadians in the US are undocumented. http://www.urban.org/publications/1000587.html

Here is the info for visas for South of the border denials:

This information regarding visas was verified information from both the state department and from newspapers.... sorry that you think otherwise.

A quick nod would show respect, as most presidents have done in the past. A bow, that is bending from the waist to a position lower than the shoulders of another individual shows subservience to the other individual. In Japan, equals bow their heads to each other whereas their employees are expected to bow from the waist to a lower point than the shoulders of their employer. In Egypt, men often kiss one another in a form of greeting. It does not denote subjugation to another but friendship. How do I know. Well I have been there and learned the customs. I have tried to research to find out if any other president has bowed lowly to another country, and have come up empty handed.

Interesting that you would expound upon this point, as it is off the subject of the original post. Was it simply another effort to exonerate the actions of a Muslim president and his willingness to concede America equal standing to other countries? Or was it a simply reaction and effort to smear a past president?

Yes he was, but coming in close behind him is Obama.


"US State Department figures from 2013 reveal a sharp 80% rise over the course of the year in Israeli visa requests that were rejected, continuing a trend of Israeli visa rejections over several years." http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/177798#.Uwuvcpvn_IU

I was thinking that we need him in DC. He is funny!

Has anyone heard of Bob Herzog? He is about the funniest traffic announcer that I have watched. He is out of Ohio. So, here for a Monday morning laugh!

No, I would not bow to him. I would not bow to anyone other than God. Sadly, I agree with the last poster; I believe that most Americans would bow to him simply because Obama has been allowed to almost completely destroyed the backbone of America. Even down to what is being taught to our children has been rewritten. Now that he plans to reduce our military to levels lower than pre WWII levels, it would not be hard for his Muslim brothers to walk in and take over. The next step is crowing himself emperor or king. Bowing would then be the normal. Did he not bow to the Muslim nation a few years back? We complain, we write about it; but when the sh*t hits the fan, most would be kissing his feet.

True, many of us have become jaded. I too find it hard to "trust" the people I meet on line. I keep putting myself out there, and conversations will continue and all of a sudden there is a complete shift. At times it is like talking with Mr. Jeckel and Mr Hyde. All we can do is be ourselves, ensure we do due diligence in research, and present the facts as we see them. Our facts may not fit with other's ideas of t***h..... but, is that not the condition of human nature? We think we are communicating and on the same page, just to learn that the other person has not understood a single words we say. Like marriage..... LOL

Art,

I have the same difficulty. People post things that sound so harsh. I then respond with a clam down things could be worse for them to say....I was making a joke or it was sarcasm. Without the benefit of an emotioncon or a LOL... something to give a hint to the emotion, how the heck are we supposed to know. Anyway, I was not trying to be critical of anyone, just inviting the post creator back into the conversation.

Thank you. I firmly believe that you have a very fine mind and so far your topics have been intelligently written with thought. I would enjoy reading more about what is on your mind.

The most amusing things, as I see them, is when an individual starts a post and then stands back to watch the fur fly. In every discussion I have ever had, it takes participation from everyone and that includes the person that brings the subject up for discussion.

I am a new parent (again) and to be honest, I would not allow my daughter to start a post and not participate. Which is my gentle way of saying, come back and support your post or join in the conversation. I for one would really enjoy reading your input or reactions.

WOW, did I get the wrong video? Mine was about governments k*****g people.....not about gun control.

I hardly think so. You and others are much better versed than I. :oops: :oops: :roll: :)

Opps

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: I did not know the rules..

How about this one:

God is like Apple--he gives you the power to be your best.
God is like Honda -- he gives the power to dream
God is like Porsche -- There is no substitute

That's all that I have for right now
