Hallelujah! I have seen the light!
Edited on Mon May-29-06 11:36 AM by TahitiNut
Lou Dobbs is evil and I must oppose him!!

Therefore, I will henceforth regard Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling as martyrs because Lou Dobbs carried on a 2-year vigil calling for ther accountability!!

All hail Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling!!

Therefore, I will lobby my Senators to off-shore our port security because Lou Dobbs called for an examination of the Dubai Ports contract!

Anything a condemned racist favors, I must oppose!!!! It's so simple!! It's such a relief to be 'saved'!!

Therefore, I will call for the destruction of all labor unions!! After all, racists all over the country and particualrly in the south have been adamantly opposed to labor unions that give jobs to blacks and Hispanics! Cesar Chavez opposed illegal migrant workers!! It's obvious that labor unions must be abolished and the borders opened!! That makes Cesar Chavez merely another racist-enabler!!

Down with labor unions!!




:sarcasm: (Since it's apparently not clear to idiots.)

I don't think I've ever seen such brain-dead, amoral, anti-intellectual, fallacious, knee-jerk 'logic' outside of the bowels of FreeRepublic. This kind of crap makes Junior look marginally reasonable, for Christ's sake. The obsession with messenger instead of message and demonization of sinners instead of sin is appalling. I'm a liberal democrat because I believe in equity and justice, under the rule of (the People's) law, for all people, including racists, sexists, bigots, fascists, and the wealthy - and don't believe in elitism or privilege for anyone! And I sure don't believe in capital punishment, least of all for mere ignorance.

More pointedly, see http://journals.democraticunderground.com/TahitiNut/287

3. Was this a recent conversion?
I can't tell from your post.

4. Yes. I attribute it to a combination of brain-freeze and sunstroke.

:eyes: Analgesics helped, too.

Now I want to run out and buy stock in agribusiness so I can profit from all that cheap, non-voting labor.
My virtue will finally be rewarded! Screw all that "virtue is its own reward" crap. Show me the money!

How about you, Don? :dunce:

7. How about me?
Edited on Mon May-29-06 03:02 PM by NNN0LHI
I will never align myself with the likes of Tom Tancredo and J.D. Hayworth no matter what happens. The smell gets to me.

You and Lou have the wrong messengers there.

I would sooner see the Mexicans carry off our entire country on their backs than stand with scum like that. And that goes for agribusinesses too.

But thats just me. Perhaps it is because I may not be as white as some would prefer me?

When I see just a couple of Democrats on Meet The Press for two weeks in a row discussing immigration I will start listening.

10. I hear ya, Don!! Ubetcha!
Edited on Mon May-29-06 03:20 PM by TahitiNut
Let's not stop there! Let's stop eating anything they eat! Let's stop drinking anything they drink! It just MUST be poison!! On top of that, let's be sure we NEVER vote on the same side of ANY issue with them!! Hell ... why not stop breathing while they breathe?!?!?! Seriesly!1!!1! It's sooo much easier to just do the opposite of those slime balls than think independently!!! I'm sooo relieved!! Yep. I'll surrender to my hatred of those fascists! You bet. I'll just let it take me over. Great idea!

Let's not stop at Tom and J.D. - make sure we include Duncan Hunter! They're the lowest of the low! And Joe Knollenberg! After all, that's why I'm supporting his Democratic opponent here in the 9th District! It's obviously not just because she's a Democrat, since I'm an independent (but I'll have to give that up eventually - too much thinking).

11. What they preach is poison
I have learned not to trust Republicans at all. I am surprised more people haven't learned their lesson? That pesky 29% rears its head again.

8. I'm also beginning to see the light!
Edited on Mon May-29-06 02:54 PM by sadiesworld
I'm thinking a landscaping or cleaning buiness using illegal labor would be relatively easy to set up. Taxes? No problem (all will be forgiven according to the new bill). Workers' comp and health insurance? No need--that's why OTHER people pay taxes. We've got two unused bedrooms downstairs that would make perfect sleeping quarters for four (eight w/ bunkbeds--I could help MORE people that way!) illegal immigrants. Screw any complaining neighbors, they're just racist jerks. I think about $4 per hour is MORE than reasonable. Well, I AM providing shelter, transportation, etc.

Man, I can see the money rolling in now. Hell, I may even be able to afford some REAL campaign contibutions in a year or two--might come in handy if any of those xenophobes start gettin' all protectionist on my ass. Yep, get RICH and be a bona fide RIGHTEOUS LIBERAL! I just don't think it gets much better.

5. I hear you.
Yep, the evil, racist Lou Dobbs:

--Relentlessly lambasted CAFTA even as 10 dem senators voted in favor (and DUers couldn't be bothered to give a shit. Just wait until all those couldn't-give-a-fuck-all about CAFTA start tacking it onto NAFTA as a reason for allowing unlimited immigration).
--Has compiled a database of companies that off-shore (a herculean task, no doubt).
--Hammers Bush the corporatist at every opportunity.
--Actually treats "leftwing" guests with respect.

But do you want to know what Dobbs one true unpardonable sin is? He speaks for the people. He doesn' promulgate specious elitist theories which on closer examination appear to be little more than cover for the corporate elite. He points out that on many economic issues there is no red/blue divide, only an elite/populist divide. Heresy.

No, he's not perfect, but who the fuck else is out there talking about these issues?!

6. (Ow!) It hurts to think!
Edited on Mon May-29-06 02:45 PM by TahitiNut
It's just so much easier to call people names! After all, if racists think everything a brown person does is bad then I MUST think everything a brown person does is good! If I buy stock and put it in my 401K, it'll make it all OK. I just wanna be a comfortable liberal without thinking too hard. Since I love everyone, I have to hug people who work in my yard for $3/hour! After all, it's not their fault they broke a law! :head-in-sand: There's no such thing as an "ill eagle"!!! Stop making distinctions. It just confuses me! Migrants, shmigrants! It's easier to sneer, smear, be sarcastic, be facetious, insult, demean, ridicule, use fallacies, destroy language, muddy the waters, and stomp my feet, hold my breath, and throw a tantrum!!!

After all, we're better off if everyone earning less than $10/hour can't vote, right? Just keep 'em coming! Them 2 million ex-felons make handy workers - just make sure they can't vote! (But don't ask me to help charter a plane and go pick up them black people in Dafur! Nope. That's just too difficult! If they can't get here on their own, screw 'em. Besides - they ain't catholics! And them Haitians? Refuge, smefruge. Screw their applications.) Besides, it hurts so bad to be called an "immigrant basher"! That'd mean I hate my grandparents! (Nevermind that they never broke a law and got called "filthy scandahoovians" because they worked and belonged to labor unions during the Depression!) It really doesn't have to make sense - who the f*ck thinks this is Logic 101, anyway! (Elitist intellektuals! Fallicies, shmallicies! My knee works better than my brain anyway!) Who needs logic? Not me for sure! I got ideologies!!!! That's better than logic!

(Excuse me while I clean the spittle off my monitor and soak my brain in more alcohol.) :evilgrin:

9. See, I had a total about face before I read your responding post
(yeah, I type slooooowly). As you can see, I'm finished with all my silly concerns about organized labor, etc. I'm on the liberal elite train with illegal immigrant wheels. Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
