This is perhaps the oldest question in law and possibly civilization itself: what do we consider right and wrong, and what do we do about it? Moral turpitude is necessarily a subjective issue, as ...
When I lived in other countries I understood their rules, regulations, customs, belief systems and I respected them. Had I decided to give-up my American citizenship and ask to obtain theirs I would have accepted into my own being those standards they lived by.
Anyone coming to our country must know we have laws, rules, customs and that we are a Republic with a Constitution and Bill of Rights and if they are ready to join our society they should be ready to leave theirs behind as did every immigrant before them and damned proud to do it.
My mother and grandfather came here after they war, like all immigrants they waited their turn to become American citizens and they learned the language, were productive, retained their customs within their homes but honored America and after 8 years were Nationalized. They embraced America and would never have done anything to threaten or to betray America.
There was no fear of death to thousands from those immigrants. Muslims are the only immigrants to come to America and kill over 3000 of us in one day. More than were killed in years of fighting in Iraq. This is deplorable and should have been met with stricter immigration laws regarding people who come to America from countries that are known to hate America.
We can not make Eagles out of Snakes but we can protect ourselves from their fangs through immigration laws.

did all of your aliases give up their citizenship?
One of the requirements to become a Naturalized American Citizen is that the applicant understand principles of law, American culture, and the Constitution. One of the few immigrants who had the most trouble adapting to our way of life (as much as I hate to say it) is Barrack Obama.
Obama suffered such intense bias from his long tenure in Indonesia that the very concept of law and order was not only alien, but quite hostile. If it isn't Sharia, with all its attendant abuse, he still has great difficulty comprehending it.
If memory serves, he attended Harvard (these people are pushovers in court) and specialized in Constitutional Law. Yet, the Supreme Court has filed no less than nineteen disqualifying objections to bills that Obama has signed (including Obamacare) have reversed another 290, and mooted another 227.
No president had a weaker understanding of the Constitution other than Clinton. And please note that Bill and Hillary Clinton were disbarred from ethical practice in Arkansas, which of course precludes them from application to any other State Bar Association. These people are simply not to be trusted in any way.
I am truly disappointed that the Democrat Party tolerated this man and his equally corrupt wife under any conditions. Are they so unethical that they will place disbarred attorneys in the Oval Office, never suspecting that said disbarred attorney would be utterly incompetent and unethical in all else that he did? Bill Clinton's impeachment was the worst disgrace the Democrats faced since the humiliation of Jimmy Carter.
Score one more against the Democrats. Now, shall we discuss Dred Scott?
Rocmike why do all of your aliases go to old questions and answers no one has been on in a long time. AP-Ladydarko does the same thing could it be you are the same poster? You need help.
Leagle Dred Scott vs Sanford the Supreme Court said Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the Federal Territory.
Interesting enough the Blacks maintain Lincoln was their savior yet in Lincolns' campaign for the Presidency in 1860 and in his first inaugural address he said: "Apprehnsion seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accesof a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered.......I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it now exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inlination to do so."
Even after the outbreak of war in 1861, Lincoln declared: "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the union without freeing any salve, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by feeeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that!"
In his fourth debate with Senator Stephen Douglas, he said: " I am not nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and plitical equality of the white and black races---that I am not nor everhave been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the Qhite and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and plitical equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so lie, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of haveing the superior position assigned to the white race."
This is Lincoln. This is the Lincoln that no Black will ever read about in the history books yet it is there for all to see and read for themselves.
Lincoln was fearful that freeing the slaves would bring a great burden on our country and he was concerned how long it would take them to catch-up with the whites in education etc etc etc.
Unfortunately there are too few who have come the distance compared to those who remain in ignorance and poverty thanks to the likes of Obama and the Demoncat party. Bill Cosby said it straight as have many other very successful Black people but to no avail.
What would Lincoln think of Obama as president? That is the explosive question based on his words.
The bottom line is Lincoln did free the slaves. That is all that matters.
If I were Black it would not be all that matters to me. His comments were insulting and showed him to be rather a White Supremist.
Slavery would have been abolished regardless sooner or later.
The south would have never let that happen. How is it insulting and how does it make him a white supremest? You are reaching as usual trying to use right wing talking points in your argument.
AC you twerp and schmeckle read what I wrote above from his debate. If you do not understand the implications and the outright thought process Lincoln was using then indeed you are a lost cause.
AC you need an icon because there are so many of you and you are not in my opinion the same as the insulting, rampaging fop or slut who always follows alot of us and erases our compliments. You do not seem deranged.
The end result is what matters. You can change your views and tactics to do it the right way. Something conservatives are incapable of. You should always learn and realize that initially Maybe I was wrong and my way may not have been the best way. From what I have read on here you are an ignorant racist who seems truly disturbed.
AC guess you are deranged and if anyone needs "Reflection" it is you and your disgusting fiends who plague Yedda with your ever spewing hatred and sewer mouths.
You need an enema cause that is where your brain is now flock off termite.
