On November 7, a one “criticalthinking” made this statement: “All we need to do now is find a poor immigrant and kick him in the gut and we will have the perfect conservative month!” http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2009/11/07/cringe-mass-killer-muslim-it-inflames-right-wing-makes-it-much-worse
A crude and juvenile assumption that conservatives are hate-filled individuals who enjoy cruelty inflicted upon others.
I would in turn ask “criticalthinking” what have YOU done personally to help any immigrants? Allow me to tell you what this conservative has done. I paid the lawyer’s fees to help a single mother and her two children to stay in this country. Why? She had to leave Mexico because her children were being sexually molested by a member of her family and she had no other recourse than to leave that horrid situation and come to this country, albeit illegally. Furthermore, I paid to have her children receive psychological counseling.
I don’t say this to receive praise or accolades. I neither need them nor want them. If anything, such a thing will probably bring on ignorant statements such as “Hey! I thought you ‘klanservatives’ were about keeping the law.”
Truth is, we are. But more than that, we are about conserving charity - something that begins with oneself. Charity, not government enforced altruism, is what we are about.
Charity does not come from moronic bumper stickers like “Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” or “Coexist” Charity is not random or arbitrary. It is constant.
This is something that is lost to the imbeciles of the MSM: that people of faith perform acts of charity in silence without seeking the praise of the world. It cannot be legislated. It cannot be enforced. This is what is taught in holy scriptures and in the Talmud. This is what is practiced by true conservatives whether they believe in a Supreme Being or not.
So, again, I ask what have you personally done for any poor immigrants other than to make light of them in an inexorably stupid example? Remember though, that giving a ratty shirt or worn-out shoes to Goodwill and feeling good about it does not count as charity.
The ball is in your court. Care to answer?

Shalom Trix, I think this
November 12, 2009 - 23:21 ET by Scuba DudeShalom Trix,
I think this is the response you will get from the ill conceived named criticalstinker.
It is because of people like you Trix, doing something charitable with no fanfare or expectations of repayment that help make this country great. Good, kind hearted people are targeted by those like criticalthinker because you are doing what you think is right without having someone else tell you except your conscience.
Keep up the good work my friend.
The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

November 13, 2009 - 08:20 ET by shawn228Its been a while. Nice to see you, what a truly selfless act. You certainly walk the walk. I am waiting for ct's response.
Jer - readable now
November 14, 2009 - 23:50 ET by MrShyI have always acknowledged it was a qualified attack
As always, superb job, fancy wordsmith.
Now (and it's really not asking a lot) acknowledge -- for the record, and for all here to read and be witness to -- that it was you who injected your family into the debate, okay?
EDIT: The Obama thread is piling up, with unreadable posts, so I'm taking it to this woodshed because it's got almost no posts in it... and this isn't worth starting up a new one. Sorry Trix :p If we continue battling, I'll take it elsewhere.

November 15, 2009 - 00:33 ET by shawn228No sarcasm here, and It must be my usual liberal slowness, but can you tell me what is going on here? If you had quarrel with Jer, why in the world would you bring it to this forum that Trix has for another member.
Just curious....thank you.
shawn?

November 15, 2009 - 01:19 ET by shawn228Trix has a very nice heartwarming story to tell, I don't see why it needs to be muddied with probems with two bickering posters. A woodshed forum is easy to create. If you are too lazy to do it, I did it for you.
Well I don't use this expression often but...

He won't answer. He as allowed his mouth to write a check that his a$$ can't cash.

Yep, as I recall, somewhere in the Bible we are instructed that when we give, we aren't supposed to let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.
Essentially, we aren't supposed to bring attention to ourselves.
