| Who will fill all the jobs being vacated by U. S. reservists being called up to fight terrorism? Who will fill the lonely nights of the women left behind? Who will  replace
U.S. servicemen who are killed in fighting? While
our servicemen are over there singing "Hey, Mr. Taliban, tally me
some Bin Ladens, day light come and me want to go home," who will
be doing here, what they used to be doing here? Could it be illegal aliens
in each case? These illegal aliens aren't going to fight on foreign shores. They're staying behind where it's nice and cozy. It'll be American citizens who will be dying to protect the illegal alien way of life in the U.S. While American servicemen go away to fight to avenge the September 11, attacks on American soil; attacks that should and would not have happened had the U.S. not been meddling in the affairs of people way around the planet, the illegal aliens will keep flowing into this country to fill the vacuum, left by citizens. And, of course, the Mexican government is behind our fight, way behind--the way some wimp on the school yard is behind some other kid, who is fighting a bully--"Hey, I'm right behind you.Go get him!" |
Of course the kid behind, is just a mouth fighter and
only talks big. Thus, the Mexican government released a statement saying
that it makes its "most energetic and unequivocal rejection of the
atrocious terrorist attacks." What the hell is that  supposed
to mean? Mexico's lefty Foreign Minister, Jorge Castaneda apparently cleared
up the Mexican government's statement when he said the other day that
"we are not going to give them (the U.S.) military support."
He also reiterated a statement made earlier by Mexico's Defense Secretary
Clemente Vega Garcia that "Mexico's army...is an institution with
the resources necessary to protect Mexico's sovereignty and guarantee
national security." Great. Mexico's Army is doing in Mexico what
the U. S. Army should be doing in this country--protecting
OUR borders--not playing noble policeman to the rest of the world.  What's
with the U.S.? Are we a nation of neurotic latter day missionaries who
think it's our duty to bring our version of civilization to the rest of
the world, the way earlier missionaries civilized the American Indians
by giving them our haircuts, our breeches and our
religion? Are we so arrogant to think that our ways are the best ways
and that God has called us to help the "poor
natives," wherever they may be found? Are we stuck with leaders who
think that they are some sort of collective Lord Jim? Haven't we learned
that most of the world considers us to be the Ugly Americans, because
of this Lord Jim fantasy? The "natives" on those muddy streets
aren't lifting us on their shoulders and smiling those innocent little
native smiles because they think we're Gods, but
because money is falling out of our pockets, and they're laughing at us. |
And, what's with our political mumbling class with
this silly talk about the September 11 attacks being "attacks on
freedom"? What a bunch of crap. They were no such thing. People don't
attack freedom. They attack those who they think
are their enemies. We were attacked because we were seen to be the enemies
of Arabs, and friends of those who attack Arabs. Such stupid statements
coming from our government are an insult to anyone with more that a two
digit I.Q. because they are such clearly manufactured PR slogans dreamed
up by someone in government who figures the American people are mostly
 clustered
under the center of the Bell Curve and will respond like Pavlov's dogs
to the right stimulus presented in a simplistic way. Well, I suspect that most citizens want our government to do the right thing and attack the people who blew up our buildings and our citizens, but I also suspect  that
most citizens aren't salivating at the sounds that some in this administration
are making, about a worldwide war on terrorism. What the hell does a worldwide
war on terrorism even mean? One side's terrorists
are the other side's heroes. The British call the IRA terrorists. The
IRA calls the Brits terrorists. Shall we help Britain fight the IRA, or
should we help the IRA fight the British who are occupying Ireland? |
| There isn't a nation in the world that doesn't have
some terrorists (according to the governnment of the moment) within its
borders. The people in power call those who want to be in power, "terrorists"
in the same off handed way that someone says "Pass the sugar please."
And what the hell is terrorism, but warfare by other means? Terrorism
isn't an ideology or a philosophy; it's the way
that those who feel they have no other way to fight, fight. If we fly
up above the clouds and carpet bomb a country, are we less terrorists,
really, than some guy who straps a bomb to his body and blows up himself
and those he thinks are his enemies? The guy with the bomb strapped to
his body, would probably much prefer to keep his hands clean, stay alive,
and anonymously drop his bombs from above the clouds too, but he doesn't
have the planes to do so. The point, here, is not to justify terrorism but to ask that our government stop with the silly clichés and slogans and hire some new copy writers who can put an honest message out to the public. Why is this important? Because when people internalize the wrong message, such as the aforementioned and over broad statement "it was an attack on freedom," they may then be easily manipulated to do things that may be wrong for the nation in the long run. In fact, the attacks on September 11, were not attacks on freedom. They were attacks on two specific targets. The World Trade Towers represented American business and wealth, that the attackers apparently believe is buying the bullets and bombs that are being used against them in their own countries. The Pentagon was an obvious military target. |

What should America's military be doing? Guarding our borders. What should  our
government be doing? Stopping all immigration to the U.S. We don't need
more immigrants, thank you. We can grow from our own normal internal growth.
It's called births. Why aren't we doing these things? Because we've internalized
some earlier stupid PR cliches including the one about "being a nation
of immigrants." The reality is that EVERY nation is a nation of immigrants.
Various peoples have moved over the face of the Earth ever since there
were people. This does not mean, however, that when people settle on land,
that they must thereafter let everyone else move in with them, just because
they who have settled on the land came to that land from elsewhere themselves.

President
Bush said that Americans must make sacrifices. That's easy for him to
say. He doesn't have to fight for a fair wage in a nation where Bush's
big business pals want to hire illegal aliens under the table instead
of American citizens. He doesn't have to face illegal alien criminals
on the streets each day. And, speaking of sacrifices, why
doesn't Mr. Bush get his daughters out of the bars and into uniforms?
Send them to fight. And, why the hell can't our military patrol our
borders and make our nation safe, instead of gallivanting around the
damn planet? Isn't it time that Americans rethought their priorities
so that we can keep our nation the best place
on the planet to live? Isn't it time we stopped letting our "leaders"
manipulate us with stupid slogans so that we die in foreign wars? Isn't
it time we protected our own interests?|

About
80 percent of the 1 million Mexicans who non-governmental groups say
live in New York do so illegally and lack Mexican passports not to
mention U.S. visas. Many are able to work by using falsified or borrowed
Social Security cards. But if they were to be wounded in a future
attack, they wouldn't be eligible for medical care or social security
benefits that those with documents would receive. Mexicans also may
be wanting to leave the Empire State because they are afraid a draft
will be raised in the wake of the bombings...During the Vietnam War,
many Mexican citizens in the United States feared facing conscription.
