Brad's Gramma,hi.
Good...cuz that one picture has me puzzled. I did Google some things and I *think* I FRmailed you the results.
I don't remember...it's been a rough couple of days here..
Hi Tweetie...
(hat tip: Mika and F/R):
http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm
I believe you. I live in a rather small tourist town. About 8,000 year round residents, 25-30,000 in the summer. I went to the self-serve carwash last summer. It is adjacent to a number of low rent cabins. The hippies and other poor folk used to live in them. About six to eight years ago they all went to illegals along with every other cheap dwelling in town.
A little guy about 4 or 5 yrs old and his sister came up to me and just stared. I nicely tried to tell them to move on. I was washing some very greasy engine parts on the ground and didn't want him to get wet, filthy or hurt. He basically challenged me in a non-verbal way. I put on a tough voice and face and told him to scram. His sister backed away a little but he held fast. I really laid on a nasty tone with him (I don't know if he understood any English) and he looked at me like "you're s$%t to me, Gringo."
It was weird. I don't like getting tough with anybody but I won't take crap either. Being 6'2", 50 yrs old and rather grizzled I don't expect to be taken lightly when I'm stern or angry. And I'm usually not. I've made much bigger men, who I know could tear me a new one, back down because I made them question the obvious with my attitude. In his four year old way he was taunting me and asserting his territorial boundaries.
Isolated from anything else it would have all been very amusing. I was actually rather impressed with him for having guts. But it's obvious his behavior was not isolated or anomalous as you have related on a bigger scale. There were a couple of teenage gang banger types nearby in a banger type car. I watched carefully to see if the little guy or his sister were going to go tell them about the "mean old gringo." Glad they didn't because my .45 would have dealt with their attitude.
The point of telling this story is not about my angst. I don't have any. When the time comes to drop the hammer I'll drop the hammer. It doesn't matter who or why. The point is that this is a quaint, cozy little tourist town not Denver. Long before there were any illegals to speak of in Denver there were gangs and punks and criminals. I grew up there. A city is a city. This isn't. It barely qualifies as a town of any size but we have gang bangers with their attitude. And we have adult illegals with their attitude which is apparent when you see them on the street or in the stores. President Bush can shove that "good hearted people who want to work" crap up his a$$.
I want to work too but I'm not going to live in a 12X20 cabin with six other people to make it work. The town wouldn't let me anyway. Zoning codes ya know.
Time for the DoJ to use R.I.C.O. statutes to shut down and arrest these organized criminal conspiracies to incite riots.
The FCC needs to immediately yank the licenses for any radio or TV station that they can show that used public air waves to incite riots or other illegal actions. Suspected stations should have their recent broadcast archive tapes impounded and reviewed by FCC auditors to determine if they violated FCC policy and/or Federal/State/Local laws.
Media coverage and security camera tapes should also be impounded to be used to identify individuals committing illegal acts, with a priority on those leading the illegal activities (especially known criminals.)
Those that stopped traffic on the Interstate highways should be prosecuted for interfering with interstate commerce and law enforcement.
If any ambulances arrived to any hospital in a 5 mile radius of these illegal assemblies with a patient that died in route to the hospital, then those who lead and/or organized these illegal assemblies should be prosecuted for murder.
Come down hard on these people now or we will end up like France writ large.
Yes, they know how to play the legislation, don't they?
hehe...there is no job an American won't do.
I put myself through college working in the meat packing plants alongside ever increasing numbers of illegals.
I worked in the tallow room to pay for my college education and I was not alone.
(Tallow is the fat from beef, it goes in huge vats, is seperated and rendered, and...you don't want to know anymore.)
We poor white kids from the trailer park actually did the jobs "Illegals do because no American will".
But wait there's more...
After several years working in education I ended up going back to school for my Master's. I ended up back in KS, in Emporia. I remembered that I could easily pull a third shift again while taking classes. (It's "easy money" as mi vatos called it.) So I went to the Emporia Tyson meat packing plant there.
First, the entire workforce is "immigrant". um, hmm
Second, wages were now down to the 6-7.00 range (from around 10.00 just about 4 years before).
Going to grad school without a job, I was desperate so I applied for any third shift opening.
They never called me for an interview.
Ain't that a ____! A white guy does actually does apply to work at a packing plant, (with 4 years experience in the meat packing industry) and he never gets an interview...
In those two weeks I put in around 50 applications and actually got a good job, but this is a true story!
What does drop the hammer mean?I was invited to this thread.Why where you threated by a 8 year old?
Who invited you to this thread and why? That's a very strange comment.
Where are the cluster bombs when you need them?
I did reread-Sorry he was a 5 year old.
Tonkin pinged his list and she's on it. fatima lives in a different area of the country than out here and isn't living through what we are.
We're all tired...we're not each other's enemies..
Bump your ping, one more cookie and good night to all...stay safe and let's hang together through this.
Lord knows we're going to need it.
AND!!!! Prayers all, many many prayers.
Agreed-I am leaving this thread but I leave you with this.I agree with you Brad's Gramma but not you TigersEye to a child .
There are three ways to take foreign country.
1. War (most people associate with invasions.)
2. Insurrection or coup instigated by a foreign country
3. Refugees pilgrims or some sort of influx of people moving into the area from foreign lands. (two examples: Americans taking California away from the Spanish (Mexico never took California from the spanish.) More recent is Kosovo where the Albanians migrated into Kosovo for work.)
The two things that irritate me the most about the illegals is that they are cutting in line to migrate to the US where honest law abiding people have to wait years to come here. The most dangrous part about the illegals is that they are willing to brake our laws to come here and we don't inforce our laws. Thus we are inviting the worst people from foreign countries to work here.
One other thing there is already a federal law on the books that anyone that is not here legally must pay a $250,000 fine AND 5 years in prison, obvously that law is being ignored.
You must not live around here - because the fat ugly one does.
Nite my friend...
Roger that. Personally, I've seen enough angry, ungrateful illegal ingrates the last three days to last me a lifetime.
And just THINK! "They" are going to announce MORE PLANS tomorrow for even bigger and better, newer and improved marches!
WHOO HOOOOOO!!!
Blech
