They're Coming to Take Them Away

All these comments and NOT ONE mention of the fact that these people, full of horsesh*t, would meet together at........a horse track?

Gang, for Pete's sake, we can't continue to allow things like this to go without payback. I can't do it all by myself. The Hurricane has to be "fun" too. :-)

I would imagine many of the whackjobs who bitch about illegals on the chron probably have their lawn service workers and their housekeepers. Do they bother to check to see if their workers are documented?
And these a-holes demonstrated outside the school where Sasha and Malia attend?
That's despicable. And you know they were the ones crying "foul" when the press shone its light on the Bush twins.

social security cards used to go for $50 at the flea market on airline by my mom's home. i was working for HCC in the 1990's when the I9 form was first required. i went to many training hours that emphasized the importance of I9 and the rules of compliance. diligence was stressed and national security was the primary reason given. i processed application packages for my dept in counseling for tutors and work study students. most were international students from all over the globe, many had expired student visa's and were disqualified from any paycheck with HCC. the only acceptable I9 identification in 1994 was two forms, one had to be state driving license or state issued ID. the other would be a social security card, passport or current student visa. i assumed this was a continued practice but as i said, i worked part time in 2007 for my apartment office and that was the first time i learned of the ITIN. the manager said she'd been with the company for over 5yrs and it was a common form of ID to rent apartments when applicant had no social security number. i can tell you also that many people rent apartments from the middle east with passports from saudi, jordan and kuwait but instead of texas driving licenses they had new jersey, alabama, arizona or florida. i saw the teller at bofa hand out the credit card spanish flyer to someone ahead of me in the bank lobby. so i picked one up and in english is said, "please give this to someone if they need services in spanish". the apartment maintenance man, who came here with saint reagan's amnesty, buys a new big texas truck and suburban home, is the one who told me about the home mortgage program promoted jointly by bush and the mexican embassy. during the election time my friend from maintenance told me he and hispanics loved bush and wanted mccain because bush endorsed him. i don't want to knock anyone who works, pays taxes, buys homes or big texas trucks because it upholds the economy. but if fines were arranged they could be paid at the check cashing places illegals use to send their money home. once we tried to put a pennies-on-the dollar fee on money sent to mexico and people flipped. now someone can order and pay for a load of concrete to be delivered to a home built in mexico! obama obviously cannot tackle immigration until healthcare is done, but i would rather go with an immediate guest worker program including fingerprinting, which i have to do to get foodstamps. then kick out anyone illegal committing crimes, not someone whose a criminal our government allowed here by design. at least identify who the hell is in our country. but if the census swells for republicans with bush worship, god help us.

Yep, it was the Westboro Baptist Church whackos, indeed. Living proof, hard as it may be to grasp, that there are actually humans who are more out of touch with reality than the teabaggers. I was at JSC the day that bunch showed up, desecrating the memories of the Columbia astronauts. I'm not a big believer in hell, but if it exists I'm pretty sure there is a particularly hot spot reserved for Fred Phelps and his perverted family members.

I haven't heard that song in a long time. Its amazing how apropos it is for the tea parties. These people are not people who want the truth. All they want is to push their ideological theories on the rest of the Republican parta. I hope the rest of the party is not listening adn find them as hilarious as we do.

Somebody should.... take them away, I mean.

Just found this link - to David Schuster's blog, on BuzzFlash.

Protesting outside the school attended by the Obama daughters, is a new low --- even for the right wing.

You don't pick on defenseless kids. You, by God, just don't.

To say this pisses me off.... would be an gross understatement.

what is really apropos is the line "i cooked your meals, i cleaned your house"! which is what tea party thinks immigrants are fine for, except when they want to better themselves and become legal contributing members of society. i told my brother, the 912 cult devotee, that bush set up the ITIN or (individual tax identification number) to legally exploit immigrants. i never heard of this until i worked in my apartment office in 2007 and people without a social security who were "non residents" can use the ITIN to rent an apartment, get a bank acct, buy a car, home, credit cards, etc. works like this: step 1, immigrant goes to IRS office and declares "i am working and want to pay tax". step 2, IRS asks "how much have you made this year"? and immigrant says $2500 or some arbitrary amount and self employment tax is calculated. step 3, immigrant pays all or part, makes future payment arrangements with ITIN number and goes to bank for acct. step 4, bank asks immigrant if they'd like to "open a credit card account", buy a home, or another financial services product. this can and is done in spanish and with brochures, also in spanish. bofa and others have special divisions set up by bush administration for this. now IRS does not call ICE cause all they want is their money. so immigrants DO pay tax through ITIN accounts, which allow the purchase of cars, homes, and credit cards for medical treatment, home furnishings, or whatever. employers can also take the ITIN for purposes of I9. which is all fine with me, because tax money funds roads, schools and too many other things to name. tea party and republicans, lou dobbs and all the haters have no idea what immigrant taxes fund things they have now. talk about taxation without representation, where are the immigrant groups exposing the ITIN tax rip-off? no one who pays the IRS can be deported!

I think when the shooting starts they'll quickly realize they are hopelessly outnumbered. At least, my fingers are crossed!

The biggest thing that America the Sane has going for it, is that it won't be a surprise.

I read that the Tea Party is now an official political party in Florida. Good news for the Democrats there.

Give Newt Gingrich credit when it is due, rare though it may be. 20%, even a noisy, stupid 20% does not make a majority.

Does anybody have any pictures of our very own Texas Sparkle at Saturday's event? God, how I would love to see that idiot parading around, making a fool of herself (again).

Admittedly I am not as experienced as some of you on these things, but from a historical perspective I would say these people were always there. Just listening to my mother and father in law this weekend was scary. They are very educated and somehow believe that everyone will be forced to buy government health care under this current plan.

The difference is that we have a political climate where this behavior is encouraged...better yet, just read my next blog.

vikinghou, excellent read! Thank you for the link. And yes, it is bad for America.

Read Krugman's column in today's NYT. It's scary too.

Scary!

Jesus is right. And these people are walking the streets.
