I know that I will have to slow a little with the plain Pilot Roads but hopefully I can go from 3 rears in a year down to 2 or 2.5 rears......

The Pilot Road 2 is a dual compound tire.

Are you American? What do you think America is? Is it a sovereign nation with borders and laws? With a People and a Culture? Or is it just a "place" where any illiterate third world parasite can wander in to collect their citizen/taxpayer/American funded welfare, food stamps WIC coupons, Section Eight housing voucher, "earned" income tax credit, "free" medical care and "free' education for their children and a foreign language voter ballot?

If you think standing up for America, her sovereignty, her culture, laws, language and people is "racist", you are the one who is really dumb.

Especially when they have a sale, I think CycleGear is the best place to buy tires. The $20 mount/balance charge is the best I know of.

I got a closeout rear Dunlop D220 there for $99. Can't beat that, and I'm happy with the tire.

Unhappy Hmmmm....

IMNSHO, opposing illegal immigration (and by extension, illegal immigrants) is no more racist than opposing pedophilia (and by extension, child rapists) - they're both codified in law ratified by a representative majority of the populace and repugnant. If opposing ILLEGAL latinos stealing our jobs is racist, put a new definition in Websters... and label me as such.

I don't agree w/ your logic or definitions but I do agree that racist people are dumb.

Rant/OFF

Racism is more than dumb, its dangerous. But the laws of our nation should be upheld.

Try going to another country without documentation, even a passport, and see what happens. You wouldn't get a free bus trip to the border.

What race is "Latino" anyhow? Most all Spanish speaking "Latino" people from Spain, Argentina, Uraguay, Chile, Cuba etc. are as white as people in Dublin, Stockholm, Dusseldorf or Northern Idaho. Most all Spanish speaking "Latinos" from the Dominican Republic are as black as folks in Uganda. Most "Latinos" from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatamala etc. are Mestizo/Native American.

I'll quote a good friend who was born in Cuba.

Please don't call me Latino. In Spanish, "Latino" means "of Latin". Latin is the language of ancient Rome. Rome is in Italy. People from Italy are called "Italians". I am not Italian. I am an American citizen born in Cuba. Don't call me "Latino".

He prefers to be called American or Cuban but Hispanic is no big deal. And the don't call me "Latino" isn't a big deal either but used to have some fun at the expense of La Raza leftists who think everybody with a Spanish surname is part of the same ethno-racialist "movement".

Vega. I don't listen to Savage. I'm not sure what it is about my quote that you object to or disagree with.

When it comes to immigration, illegal aliens, social welfare for immigrants, education, what it takes to become a citizen etc.

I would love to see us adopt for ourselves exactly precisely the laws and policies Mexico has in place for itself.

Their laws protect Mexican culture and only admit immigrants whose contributions to Mexico greatly exceed their needs, intead of the other way around.

That's how we used to do it. That's how most every other country does it.

That's why I asked; Is America a country, a people and a culture? Or is it just a place to which third world countries feel free to exile the poor people they don't wish to care for themselves?

Rk1, I do agree with almost all of what you are saying if not all of it. It is just when I read things that are written with as much passion it does remind me of turning on some conservative radio talk show on the AM dial of the radio. It comes across angry and bitter that someone else , even undeserving gets to enjoy our country. As Americans I don't really feel we have any culture. Our country's culture is a mixture of all immigrants ethnic background. Be it Irish, Jewish, Hispanic (Latino-just my preference), or what ever. The only culture that is unique to us is Baseball, meatloaf, and other great Americana... Love it all, but our individual history is so much richer.
