3 Things: Clarifying Immigration Issues

Wasting all of this time in congress over immigration is pissing me off. Me and a bunch of other people.

1) We got here first! OK, maybe we didn't really get her first, but we blew the shit out of anyone who was already here so --- get over it!

2) We built this freakin' country. Who do you think brought in all the slaves to till the land, grow the crops, and pour our freakin' mint juleps? Who do you think created pennies a day, screw it --- pennies a week, jobs for the freakin' impoverished and starving Irish and Chinese to build the damned railroads? Don't forget the miners and the guys on the damned oil rigs.

3) We run the joint. Who the hell else bribed and cajoled all of the politicians to pass the damned laws that let us blacken the freakin' skies, lie about friggin' financial derivatives, and come down hard on all the freakin' unions?

In summary, it's as simple as this.

If your family fortune didn't come from genocide, slavery, working people to death in dangerous environments, and generally nefarious, dishonest, and criminal activities then just...

GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE AND GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM! Let the rest of us get on with makin' a buck or two.

Today is a Sad Day in History

First of all, I want to start out by sayin' that true conservatives think that Sarah Palin probably the best damned politician a woman can ever be. If ever a woman actually COULD be the Veep of the US, it would be her.

Then we've got people like Dede Scazzafava, but we know the tradition SHE came from.

Our party started goin' straight to hell ninety-three years ago today when a WOMAN, Jeanette Rankin, on the REPUBLICAN TICKET became the first woman elected to congress. She and the men who put her on the ticket were the first RINOs in history.

What the HELL were they thinking? What? She didn't have socks to darn or a stew to cook?

Later on, she was one of the founding members of the ACLU for craps sake and in 1940 ran on an anti-war platform.

Sheesh!
