Damn the Torpedoes – “Eye Of The Tiger”

I’m
really trying not to be redundant in my ranting, folks, but it has gotten quite
impossible to think of much else than the illegal alien/immigration issue these
days. Wait a minute, let me put on some
music – there, I hope you can hear it.
Something has to soothe the savage beast.
Full
speed ahead now. This is an educational
site after all, so let’s get on with the educating, shall we? Certain key words and phrases have surfaced
lately that are designed to mislead the usually astute trying to pay attention
to this issue. Here is a partial list:
Border
Security –
Immigrant
Rights –
Immigration
Amendment –
Temporary
Worker Program –
National
Language –
Automatic
Citizenship/Amnesty –
Like
I said, it’s a partial list, but let’s start with it anyway. Border Security – which translates to, thank
goodness everyone is talking about it so that now, maybe, our “leaky border”
problem will be fixed! Don’t count on
it. Everybody talks about taxes and
corrupt politicians too – all the time – but they are both still around. Immigrant Rights – misleading as hell
because the word, “illegal” is too often eliminated, and illegal aliens have NO
rights! Immigration Amendment –
lawmakers think all they have to do is pass “legislation” and the problem is
fixed. Ha! Enough legislation pertaining to the “problem” already exists to
choke a horse! The paper it took to
make all the laws probably caused the demise of a good-sized forest – the
forest that can’t be seen due to the paper, err, trees. Temporary Worker Program – that little tag
along thing that so many, including the president, thinks has to be attached to
new legislation. The only thing “temporary”
about it is the temporary insanity it takes to buy into such a program! National Language – not even arguable. Tell me in what language am I writing this? Legal citizens of this country that have
been shuffled through the mandated government education system since early
childhood take the subject every year that they are in school! It’s called ENGLISH – and it’s as “National”
as the National Guard that must be wondering why they were issued guns when they
signed up! Unarmed guard is an oxymoron. There are a lot of those in the ENGLISH
language. Automatic Citizenship/Amnesty
– wow! That’s a stretch, don’t you
think? The immigration maniacs don’t
want you getting an inkling that anything they come up with to fix the problem
will result in automatic citizenship OR amnesty. Actually, all you have to do is get here these days and that is
exactly what you have in the eyes of the maniacs. Anyway, amnesty by any other name would still stink, folks. Meanwhile they are still denying “automatic
humanhood” AND automatic citizenship/amnesty to millions of unborn babies every
single year!
Damn
the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Let’s
fix the problem! Weed through the laws
on the books, the older the better, toss out the stupid Clintonisms – (Clinton’s
executive order that mandated federal services be offered in languages other
than English), and enforce immigration law once and for all. We don’t need six thousand new border patrol
agents – we need six thousand new judges that believe in our national sovereignty
to actually PROSECUTE and REMOVE the illegals and those who help them! The border patrol agents we have now are so demoralized from dealing with the hopeless problem that
new ones will just add to the hopelessness!
Are
the American citizens, especially the “baby boomers” and older going to really
sit still for this – granting illegals Social Security
benefits? Here are a couple of quotes
that might interest you:
"It makes no sense to reward
millions of illegal immigrants for criminal behavior while our Social Security
system is already in crisis," said Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina
Republican. "Why in the world would we endorse this criminal activity with
federal benefits? The Senate missed a big opportunity to improve this bill, and
I doubt American seniors will be pleased with the result."
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, said it would
be unfair to deny illegals the benefits.
"We should not steal their funds or empty their
Social Security accounts," he said. "That is not fair. It does not
reward their hard work or their financial contributions. It violates the trust
that underlies the Social Security Trust Fund."
Doesn’t that just sum up the difference in the
Republicans and Democrats – mean old Republicans put far too much intelligence
in their thought processes, (well some of them anyway), and the “kind hearted”
Democrats can’t seem to wrap their minds around the whole concept of illegality
when thinking about “fairness.”
Please! “Steal their funds”? Government certainly doesn’t mind stealing
the funds of legitimate, hard-working American citizens for whatever purpose
they please! That goes for illegals too
– they don’t seem to have a problem with taking from any social system that
will accommodate them.
By the way, Democrats like Harry Reid are the whole
reason we have race wars! He thinks the
English language bills are racist for Pete’s sake! That is the one label that makes Americans run over themselves
getting away from – whether or not it fits.
You don’t really expect a high-ranking congressional representative to
play the damned race card in such a cavalier way, though. But he did!
Keep
sharp, folks. This thing is going to be
around for a while, and chances of it coming out in our favor are slim to none
if we take a nap. I’ve had about all
the torpedoes on this one I wish to deal with.
Just keep in mind that the whole thing is tied up in the economics of a
successful capitalistic nation of laws vs. the eventual collapse into a totally
socialist regime. The people who are
wishing for that are too stupid to realize they would be killing the goose that
lays the golden egg.
