For ‘citizens’, how about ‘residents’?”.

Great idea Skippy! That should just about do it for charging college kids from "out of state" a higher tuition fee. If you ever find yourself in a thoughtful mood, why don't you think about it for as long as the mood lasts. Your idea is moronic.

One of the elements of the continuing Marxist drive to undermine and de-legitimize the United States is to supplant citizenship with “residency”.

In this way, large groups of foreign nationals hostile to American norms can be legitmized themselves, with the ultimate goal of allowing them to gain voting rights over the Americans.

There are already many drives to allow “resident” voting in local elections for school boards etc; this is of course just the first step.

Eventual crushing of Naturalization as a requirement is the goal. Undoubtedly, a stacked Supreme Court will render a decision that “naturalization” is an “un-Constitutional Burden” and “un-Democratic”.

To rule the Americans and confiscate their wealth and power is the plan.

“The phrase ‘brown bag’ is offensive for its having been used as a verb during racial segregation in the United States. When deciding whether or not a black person was light-skinned enough to enter a private residence, servants would ‘brown bag’ them: using a paper grocery bag to gauge their skin tone.”

Are they insane? To brown bag it means to bring your lunch in a paper sack, most of which were brown. A brown bag seminar is one held during the lunch hour, and you bring your own food.

“Sack lunch” is offensive to sad sacks. Isn’t it bad enough to be a sad sack, without having to also put up with such an ugly, insensitive slur?

LOL The hits just keep coming.

The author's name is Elliott, but whatever. These government "leaders" are not about being moronic, they're about control. And the sheeple fall for it.

Washington State is silly, and probably not too far from sharing the fate of California.

My own belief is that there is no act of man, however absurd, that liberals will not eventually adopt and promote.

[Steve_Seattle]

You are correct - silly as this is, there is a method to the madness. The left knows exactly what it is doing - trying to undermine the concept of nationhood and citizenship; trying to overburden economies with unsustainable debt; trying to buy-off potential corporate opposition through sweetheart deals and special legislation; trying to control educational and media systems - and hence thought; trying to demonize and marginalize all opposition, largely through ridicule; and all for the goal of world government.

I remember shortly after "W" was first elected that there was a lengthy piece in my local newspaper which was surprisingly frank about the world-government agenda and how Bush was out-of-step with it and hence a pariah to the European one-world elites. This was when all the talk of Bush being "unilateral" commenced.

I always thought a brown bag is what you hid your Ripple in?

[plain talk]

I agree. Ive never heard the term and I was there. Liberals are running out of ideas and just making things up.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Almost makes me want to go out there and start a grunge band and call it Citizen Brown Bag...

[Veto!]

The inmates are still running the asylum in Seattle.

Counties East of the Mountains suggest banning the word ‘Seattle’, substituting term ‘farside’.

[Catmom]

“Seattle need to just slide off into the ocean... The sooner the better. And I have friends and relatives there. (Don’t know why they live there, as they are not libs...)”

I agree. I live about 45 miles from the Emerald City and agree the QOL of WA residents would be improved titanically if this happened. The rest of the state is in the thrall of the lunacy in Seattle.

[BigEdLB]

“Seattle” Lets ban the word here as offensive because it represents Totalitarian speech control, and is against the 1st amendment...

SAC lunch sounds too militarized to me, are you supposed to duck and cover under your desk to eat lunch?

[Old Yeller]

They need to ban the word Cracka now.
