"Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house
And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America!"
I defy anyone to tell me this is not exactly what is going on. And every citizen knows it. Our Lords and Rulers don't care.
What are we going to DO about that?

Hi Gunslinger,
ReplyDeleteKeep calling the jackassses we elected to run our country? I've got all their numbers on speed dial at this point and spend a an hour a day harrassing their staff.
BTY - What's wrong with being a bigot? What's so wrong with being obstinately devoted to my own opinion? And intolerant of other (wrong) views?
Since the f***king socialists use this term frequently to shut down discussion, I've decided it might not be a bad word! Hah!
Maybe I ought to change my display name to Queen Bigot and go annoy those little fascists at Daily Cos.
