FWIW, I believe that McCain was not born on the US base in Panama, but in Panama City proper, and the idea was that it didn't matter because his parents were both Americans. This is a point of law that if Push came to Shove could be a problem for the old guy, because at the time he was born, Panama apparently did not count as a US territory. It's one of the issues that has been swept under the rug.
Now you know, John, that the producers of the Daily Show have no problem going out to find those frothing-at-the-mouth idiots, right? In fact, a large number of them probably are neighbors of either you or me, and in my case, relatives, too. Well, tough. As the songman said, the times they are a-changing.
What I don't get is the fear of islamic terrorists... sure, they made their mark on NYC, but come on, people, Tim McVeigh was a home grown weasel! Not that I mean to give weasels a bad name, but most of the school shootings we've had over the past few years have been with good old white boys who had their fingers on the triggers. The terrorists who scare me look a hell of a lot like the kids I grew up with, not like people from some country across the pond.
Teaching people how to make good choices for themselves and their communities makes more sense than just cutting them out wholesale from the so-called land of opportunity.
