TheSitRep, MNDavenotPC, and all Soldiers, this is so humbling, and such an honor. Thank You! Yes, TSR, I also well up every time the colors are brought in. It never fails, and never will.

The antonym synonym to Nonfactor (the person) would be:

a) prince

If you said “a)”, congratulations.

Now, Jim, if you’d be looking for an antonym to Nonfactor, the handle, that w/b “factor”, as often stated here….because:

I’d be willing to bet that 50% 75% of Americans don’t know what all of these words mean

Nonfactor on December 4, 2007 at 1:49 AM

They might not know the exact meaning of the words, but many know what it means to be a patriot to this country. Many of the rest blindly vote liberal, in many cases because they don’t know the words, and don’t understand the meaning. What irritates you in this thread is that the new ones have you figured out, and that they don’t buy the media’s Bravo Sierra on your party gaining all those new votes.

Furthermore, even us little ones have your, and your party’s elitism figured out.

You are why I wore the eagle , globe and anchor among other reasons. It was my honor to defend your right to travel that hard journey to citizenship and I cannot say any more than “Welcome, citizen!”

Nonfactor on December 4, 2007 at 1:49 AM

Well, the liberal man-of-the-people Nonfactor betrays an elitist streak. Good on ya for your honesty.

Hmmm, I think I’ll have to go with d) Jim…definitely d)…

“I’ve had several people here, Hispanic people, say ‘No, I’m a Republican’,” said Bill De Risa, a Democratic worker eagerly registering voters outside Golden Hall.

*sniff* Brought a tear to my eye…!

Legal, honest, hard working people seeking a new life here have always been welcome, and we all share that in our heritage.

That’s really not accurate. I hear people say all the time that illegals need to wait in line like everyone else. But this is not like a list of season ticket holders where you wait until someone gives up the tickets and then you can buy them. My wife took her citizens oath back in August. She was eligible to become a citizen through marriage. The paths to citizenships are slim and mostly arbitrary. Legal immigration, right now, is as big a mess as anything the government is doing. I agree in securing the border, but if anyone thinks that illegal immigrants can leave, get in line at the Consulate, and be back at work within 5 years, than they are fooling themselves. They whole system needs to be redone, including a complete overhaul of the legal immigration system.

The only way for either/both to work is with the respect for, and the agreement to abide by, law and order.

…

and half of our so-called leaders in the Republican party.

Legal, honest, hard working people seeking a new life here have always been welcome, and we all share that in our heritage. It’s a big part of what makes this country work.

All I’ve said is against what the Democratic party currently stands for.

Well, I was born in the U.S. ( in a small town in East Texas. )
So I don’t know what it feels like to take that oath of allegiance.

But I do remember the day I joined the Marine Corps and the awesome wave of emotion I felt when I swore this:

“I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

And I get misty every time I here the National Anthem, America the Beautiful and the Marine Hymn.

I just got “goose bumps” reading your comment.

Wow. Beautiful indeed.

The headline is: “Republicans winning new citizens for 2008 vote”

And in the article we find that “Previously, new citizens could be relied upon to vote Democratic by a ratio of up to 10 to one.”

Ten to one! What evidence is there that “this could be changing”? Well, a couple of people told Democratic operatives they dont like amnesty. That doesnt make me feel much better, sorry.

But that said, yes, absolutely welcome to our new citizens. It’s great to have you on board.

The antonym to Nonfactor would be:

a) prince

b) potentate

c) sovereignty

d) state

Ding ding ding!!!

If you said “a)”, congratulations.

If not, thanks for playing. Please try again.

Another perfectly good SAT question ruined by me, myself, and I (the infamous triune?!).

You’re welcome.

abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty

Nonfactor on December 4, 2007 at 1:49 AM

Sadly, this time, I must admit you are probably correct.

this time

Entelechy on December 4, 2007 at 12:16 AM

to our brothers and sisters who have come here legally, looking for a new life….
God bless you, thank you, and …..
Welcome Home !!!

abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty

I’d be willing to bet that 50% 75% of Americans don’t know what all of these words mean

They are the one who lose the most the more illegals that come into the country

Entelechy: I don’t use the word lightly.

hillbillyjim on December 4, 2007 at 1:08 AM

Very good Jim, because it’s a difficult word, and many don’t understand it, or don’t bother.

I think what I am trying to say is :

THANK YOU.

Romeo13, it’s not quite as you imagine it to be with the dual/multiple citizenships. This is a short and informative read.

When I became citizen, I would have gladly renounced my other one. The communists wanted me to go to Wash. D.C., pay around $500, and sign a piece of paper in which I would have sworn to never bad-mouth them. Alternately, they offered to send one of their flacks to San Diego, at my travel/hotel expense, to collect the money and sign the paper. I refused, ignored them, and Ronald Reagan took over. That’s how it is that I still hold that citizenship, and technically could consider myself an EU subject. The thought of it kills me. Trust that I have no other allegiances.

Once again, I find myself in your debt.

My (half) sister, who I consider my best friend, lives in a beautiful Italian village which I won’t name, but I find that the credible threat to her and her offspring (my nephew) enough to be more than a casual reason to not be bold with their identity) enough reason alone to be strong about this issue.

I understand that you probably have a HUGE amount to lose that most wouldn’t understand.

Again. You are my hero. (Of course, so is my sister, but she is easily embarrassed, so…..never mind.)
