Mindless Decadence - Inmates Running the Asylum in Austin (Great Rant Alert)
WordPress | May 14, 2010 | Daphne

Posted on 05/18/2010 10:14:27 AM PDT by Zakeet

The clutch of cerebral midgets sitting on the Austin City Council decided that official travel by city employees is off limits to the hostile land of racist Arizona. My local six pack of quivering idiots worked themselves into a frothy, indignant snit over fears of racial profiling. Excuse me, but are they planning to send the Parks and Maintenance Department brown worker bees off to Phoenix for a mowing conference?

I should mention that this is the same elected crew who built a riderless light rail system that's run a gazillion dollars over budget and who also just agreed to build a twelve million dollar animal shelter. Twelve million dollars for dogs. Does this strike anyone else as a sign of decadent obscenity?

These morons were happily busy dialoging with the city of Phoenix on how to handle our out of control homeless population a couple of months ago, despite building a fancy multi-million dollar bum facility a few short years back, one that remains perpetually empty except when the temperature dips below freezing. Come to Austin, Get Panhandled ought to be our official motto. Our burgeoning homeless population would rather sleep under a highway bridge than set foot in that ridiculously expensive, blazing icon of liberal ideology made manifest at taxpayer expense in beautiful downtown Austin. I'm guessing the un-liberal Phoenix city council decided to save their citizens a few bucks, plus some major street corner annoyance, by handing out one-way bus tickets to Austin five years ago.

Key public pools and libraries are being closed for the summer across town, due to budgetary shortfalls. Summer jobs and sports programs for impoverished teenagers have been gutted to the bone. No worries though, homeless men, stray dogs and empty trains are well-funded. So are the alarming number of abysmal Austin high schools the state has ordered closed. Retarded chimps could do a better job of running my city. Instead, I have liberals.

More rant HERE.

The Austin Riderless Light Rail System

Combine a huge university with an elite faculty and tens of thousands of liberal arts and fine arts students ... with tens of thousands of civil servants ... with thousands of lawyers and lobbyists ... with several hundred thousand "oppressed minorities" ... and you have a sure fire guaranteed formula for a Libtard disaster.

Ah, The Peoples Republic of Austin. Home to the Austin (anti)American Statesman; the newspaper that practically lamented the fall of the USSR.

No money for orphanages though.

Illegal immigration is about political power (for the Democrats, of course). Anyone who can’t see that simple truth is an idiot or is lying.

Now who needs orphanages any longer, when you can just abort the unwanted little buggers?

“...... and you have a sure fire guaranteed formula for a Libtard disaster.”

.
And to think that only last night here in Houston we heard on late night TV that a terrorist by the name of Mohammed Ali (no, not Cassius Clay, but of simililar religious persuasion) was heading toward Houston and that others might be on their way. They even showed his picture. They suspected that he had crossed the border with Mexico.

YET, THE BORDER REMAINS OPEN FOR ADDITIONAL TERRORIST TRAFFIC!

By the way, they never mentioned that this Mohammed Ali was a Muslim. Perhaps I should not have jumped to conclusions — the guy could’ve converted to Catholicism but decided to keep his birth name.

Reminding me my per gripe. The lifting of the old prohibition of allowing high rise buildings that block the view of the Capital Dome. Monuments to the worst aspect of capitalism: vain capitalists.

We need to build a wall around Austin so it doesn’t infect the rest of the state.

Too late, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio are already showing the early signs of infection!

Illegal immigration is about political power (for the Democrats, of course).

I just received this in an email soliciting a pledge, from WND. Ought to make your blood boil.

Bordering on insanity

As plan to grant 13 million illegals citizenship quickens, campaign challenges politicians to take the pledge

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, already has drafted a plan for processing 13 million illegal alien applicants for amnesty in a 30-week period at an estimated cost of $1 billion, WND has learned.


The plan, a copy of which was obtained by WND, anticipates the approval of so-called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" legislation pending in Congress and assumes a nine-month ramp-up period for processing of applications.

The undated draft report anticipates the possibility of the legislation requiring public benefits to amnesty applicants.

"If the statute requires interim benefits while application pending, issue discrete variant of status document (shorter term duration that [sic] if issued after prospective immigrant status granted)," the 14-page memo states.

It’s Obama’s plan for not being a one termer.

Hooray! Oklahoma City just joined this club with the ill-timed MAPS 3 tax raise.

“Combine a huge university with an elite faculty and tens of thousands of liberal arts and fine arts students”

- I attended a university in LA once where 95% of the chemistry dept was LIBERAL. Nothing but tree huggers, eco-fascists (green chemistry!) and global warming fanatics. All of em had Ph.Ds in chem.

Ironically enough I found the English dept was split 50-50 with libs/conservatives.

It ain’t like you say it is.
