I want them out of my country.

They have proven how "American" they are.

They don't much care for my government, and they don't much care for half of the country.

So what's stopping them from pulling up stakes and moving to, oh I dunno, Uganda? Where their hatred is codified in law...

So fuck them.

BTW - I am not asking for us to forcibly repatriate them to Uganda. Just for them to voluntarily leave. They aren't wanted.

1. I feel what yer sayin', dude.
And I am right there with ya. Maybe take them up on their secession offer? There must be some way we can rid ourselves peacefully of the loathsome cretins.

3. You didn't read my post all the way through did you?
Your homework: read a post entirely before commenting on it

Thanks

5. I agree with you, but I would take it a step farther
Edited on Wed Sep-14-11 06:11 PM by Broderick
They are destroying this country. It is at the global multinational corporation level, the banks, wall street, and our media.

I could only dream about forcibly removing them and saving this country.

7. Yes, but that would make us as bad as them
As much as I hate (and yes, I do use the word "hate") them, I do not wish them ill or want them forcibly repatriated.

I do want them to leave, however.

Kind of like that drunken racist Uncle, who overstays his welcome, except this time he's got a gun and a flamethrower.

8. I understand the reality of it not happening
but they don't deserve this country, to be a part of it, to co-exist and breath the air I do. I see people suffering to make ends meet and those ends can be a mile a apart - meanwhile they rob steal and take what they please from us.

9. They DON'T deserve this country
But it's not our place to kick them out of the pool

I know it's counter-intuitive, but once we head down that road, we're just as bad as them

11. It's a relative pipedream
to march them out in their fine linens. Break down the gates from those gated communities we are not allowed in and return the things stolen from all Americans. I do not consider them Americans by the way. Capitulation never accomplished anything in my opinion, but it is something we are well schooled on from an early age - conciliatory acquiescence of those we feel are better than us.

They like to see "America" as a barge
floating from country to country, docking where the labor is the cheapest

If things get bad, they leave

fuck

14. YESSS, but the overlords
Edited on Wed Sep-14-11 06:26 PM by Broderick
that utilize the cheap labor get tax breaks, and more to come for profits from overseas. We are sick country. We have poverty so high, and 1 % of the nation reaps the rewards of serfdom. The divide is enlarging, and the learned thought of acquiescence to those perceived to be entitled and better than the rest will soon end. I predict that.

4. If not, we are doomed
They have to be relegated to a small minority.

Think of them in two ways:
Repuglycans
or
Republicuns

6. Read the polls regarding the Tea Party
more reviled by ALL, more so than the boogieman they feed fear with.

15. This sounds eerily close to what the right says against Democrats. I
think maybe you should rethink your thesis. Would it be OK to say the following:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I don't just want the Democrats defeated in an election. I want them out.
I want them out of my country.

They have proven how "American" they are.

They don't much care for my idea of government, and they don't much care for half of the country.

So what's stopping them from pulling up stakes and moving to, oh I dunno, Finland? Where their socialist ideas are codified in law...

So fuck them.

BTW - I am not asking for us to forcibly repatriate them to Finland. Just for them to voluntarily leave. They aren't wanted.
General Strike April 15th!!!

21. And that makes it right? I suppose you can understand the hatred that
they feel for liberals then. You feel for whatever reasons they are not good for the country and should leave. They feel the same about us. What if they win in 2012? Should they 'invite' us to leave as an official policy of the government?

to undo Fox News' damage.

23. Acording to a 2010 Gallop poll 31% of voters are Democrats. 29 % are Republicians
and 38% are independents. How does a third of voters get rid of another third of voters?

26. We don't want Republicans gone
we want the fake corporate Republicans who care not a shit for America, Americans problems and making America better. Hell what the country could use now is real fiscal conservative Republicans. Republicans that created jobs, balanced budgets, were not all excited to get into the next foreign war, wanted protectionist economic policies, were actually worried about big government intrusion into private lives, believed in regulated capitalism....

The fake made for TV propaganda GOP has to go. It won't until conservatives in America figure out the Republican party isn't conservative and hasn't been for 30 years.

27. The Republicans don't just wish for Democrats to be removed
.....they are actively working to make this a one-party country like unto the old Soviet Union or Red China. With Citizens United, redistricting in GOP-controlled states, voter disqualification, and this latest move in Pennsylvania, they're well on their way to permanent control of the White House, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court.

your next line came instantly into my mind.
