For the past five years, I would have walked the earth barefoot to support President GW Bush.
Now, his misguided, insane amnesty guest worker plan has finally pushed me over the edge to where I now see him as a deceptive, out-of-touch elitist who cannot be trusted with the future of this great country.
Why the sudden shift? Because if we were to suddenly fling open the doors to these 12-million (I guestimate 20 million) border jumping illegal immigrants, it will create a NEW flood of border jumping illegals to this country that would make the past five years look like a slow trickle.
Bush, McCain, Kennedy and the other border-jumping supporters have obviously never lived, and I mean LIVED, in any East, West, or South coast town which in the past five years have turned into mini-third world nations, complete with cockfights and 'no-englais' areas that rival any banana dictatorship of Central America.
Nothing against Central American countries, or Mexico for that matter, but any jerkhead knows by instinct that if you inflow nationalistic illegals by the millions, they will think and vote like the country from which they just fled.
I refuse to have my daughters and granddaughters fight to speak English, or to retain an American culture that until recently has been the greatest, safest in the world.
Nearly TEN PERCENT of the channels on local cable-TV are in Spanish only. Businesses greet you in Spanish until you tell them you're not.
Cockfighting and dogfighting has become the rage in several local areas as the culture of south of the border quickly subsumes our American way of life.
I got a call on Sunday from a guy claiming to be doing some kind of Neilsen survey, I picked up the 'phone, said, "Hello", and he launched into his speil -- in Spanish.
I was so stunned I let him carry on until he asked his first question, at which point I made my "No hablo" and he apologized and asked again in English: "Are you hispanic or latino?" I said "No" and that was the end of the survey.
I can only assume -- because it's glaringly obvious -- that had I not been a gringo, there'd have been a slew of additional questions about my TV viewing habits.
THAT is our "America" in 2006.
