To answer some points:

There have been several “Geneva conventions”, some before WWII and the last in 1949. The 1949 round was in response to atrocities committed by our enemies. Notable US actions that became outlawed in 1949 include the bombing of Dresden, which served little military purpose.

I wonder if you consider the Islamofascists to have committed any unlawful acts? Do they consider themselves bound by them? I think not. To wit: Combatant who are captured while spying do not have the right to prisoner of war status unless they were wearing their military uniforms. (Protocol I, Art. 46). I think you could substitute terrorism for spying in the above. teh point is, they wear no identifiable uniform, thus endangering civilians, amongst which they hide.

Children under 15 must not participate in hostilities and must not be recruited into the armed forces. (Protocol I, Art. 77, Sec. 2; Protocol II, Art. 4, Sec. 3C). Child homicide bombers, anyone?

These protections include the right to be free from attacks, reprisals, acts meant to instill terror, and indiscriminate attacks. Civilian populations must not be used as civilian shields. (Protocol I, Art. 51). Does this need elucidation?

The list goes on.

Do they take advantage of us because we consider ourselves bound by them? Yes. Obviously. They expect us to act humanely, and we do, but they freely flaunt the rules of the Geneva Conventions, inasmuch as they are not signatories and clearly do not consider themselves bound by their regulations.

Of course our enemies did bad things to us. On the whole, the US has tried to not to commit immoral acts even against our enemies. Some point out that our record is not perfect, but it is good. George Washington is famous for ordering his troops not to torture British captives. There were “conservative” colonials who insisted on torturing anyway.

The “conservative” crack notwithstanding, the first Geneva Convention was signed in 1864 to protect the sick and wounded in war time. What is the point of bringing up colonial era issues?

Can you please supply the reference for the ““conservative” colonials who insisted on torturing anyway” statement? I would like to review it myself.

My husband and I were told by a social worker at Stanford that WE would need $100,000 cash upfront (even w/ health insurance) to be placed on a waiting list if our cardiac baby were to ever need a heart transplant … a month later, a local nurse told me that an illegal alien came over from Mexico when she found out her baby had a heart defect. She had her “anchor baby” at a L.V. hospital ~ the baby was later flown to California for a fully paid for heart transplant.
*shakes head*

a one-way ticket home.

Every day however, things remain status quo. The same people speak out and try to get the message out that Illegal Aliens and Illegal Immigration is killing our citizens and our country. The same people literally beg for our borders to be secured and our laws enforced. Yet nothing happens.

I actually thought this may be “the one” and frankly it should be. This story summarizes every injustice that is imposed upon Legal, American Citizens every day Illegal Aliens are allowed to break our laws at will and rape our system of benefits and life saving treatment that another American Citizen is denied in favor of an Illegal Alien.

This story should be screaming to every Legal, American Citizen that the lives of Illegal Aliens are more important than the lives of Legal, US Citizens. Especially those of us citizens who have needed or are still waiting our turn for the assistance and dire medical care we need, but are either denied over and over or put on a waiting list that never ends. We are suffering and some are slowy dying while Illegal Aliens go to the front of the line again!

This story did not even make the mainstream media however. Not one Cable News Show nor one Network News show gave it the time of day.

It is up to us to demand they give it the “time of day” just like they did with the Absolut Vodka Reconquista ad. Of course that story is now “old news” and they barely skimmed the surface of the Domestic Terror Reconquista Movement which was really the most important issue about that ad.

So I ask you all, is this the one? Have you had enough? If Illegal Aliens killing our Citizens doesn’t phase enough people, is it enough that Illegal Aliens Lives’ are More Important Than the Lives of American Citizens in Dire Need of Life Saving Treatments Who Are Left to Die While Illegal Aliens Go to the Front of the Line?

I hope it is.

But if I were dying and there was a person who needed my liver in the next room to live, would I care if they are illegal or not? Hardly. I am donating my liver to save someone’s life, I’m not stamping “for American’s only” on my organs. Could anyone here watch someone slowly dying in front of them and not want to help?

The only thing I don’t think is fair is that this girl has had multiple livers and they’ve all failed. Is it fair to give her another one when there are people who can’t even get their 1st liver transplant? I just don’t know.

The MExican’s government refusal to help their own people is just so frustrating.

Gather the usual suspects (our do-nothing politicians) in front of a TV camera and demand an immediate answer to why they continue to support this illegal invasion.

Their lack of action makes them complacent in these deaths, IMO.

I could be wrong but I’m thinking that ThackerAgency may be familiar with Ed Young and/or C3 Conference (or the like) and is not making a grammatical *whoops* as it would seem.

Not a biggie (one way or another) but certainly not worthy of an English lesson on this thread.

Just sayin’.

And my point of view on this topic…

Sorry, but if you’re not legal you don’t get the benefits.

Pachyderm

Problem solved. No one needs a liver from the US.

Americans cannot enter any country on earth illegally. Gate swinging one way?

Lock it down. Turn off the spigot of cash to the corrupt Mexican economy and let the narco traffickers collapse the equally corrupt government.

Then conquer the whole bleepin mess and finish the job.

Bigger problem solved. Oh, and the useless PEMEX corp—- ended. We nationalize the oil field.

Watch the UN howl and the price of oil collapse because we aren’t buying anymore.

Even bigger problem solved- Oil Glut.

Buh bye.

Bear1909 out.

where does the other 10% figure in!?

we are actually setting aside organs for illegal aliens!
