Democrat vs Republican

[1whirlwind]

Are you suggesting that illegal aliens are rich, and not poor?

Why yes. They are ALL independently wealthy. They want to come to live with us so they can pay taxes.

That's why when I go to the border towns I see rows and rows of cardboard shacks, I see little girls in ragged clothes begging in the streets, little boys selling Chiclet gum. Yes JCSr....I'm suggesting they are all rich.

I will say this...if I was in their position I would be trying to cross the border every night. It's a cruel world but it is a world we cannot change. We can help but we cannot change Mexico and their ways. Corruption rules.

That is what I thought you meant.

I guess one must be American to be poor. Illegal aliens don's count.

How dost thou know?

When someone can verify that to be true I would gladly edit the OP. And, who the author is has no bearing on the accuracy of the thoughts it contains.

Well, if you don't know and can't show that it was Foxworthy, your best bet is to leave it as sourced to "anonymous". Unless, of course, it's more important to you that people think it was from Foxworthy than accurately listing the source.

They always complain about Fox viewers - but somehow the figures just don't add up - Fox has more viewers than the other 3 combined - someone is doing something right. I switched on the other 3 channels the other night just to see what they were saying - believe it or not - all three stations was reporting the same lie - Romney says he don't care about 47 % of the people.

Fox has more viewers than the other 3 combined....but somehow aren't a part of "the mainstream media".

Hardly a non-sequitur. Truth and the Republican way are entwined.

Truthiness.

Oh well, if an e-mail stated facts that that liberals can't deal with...they must not be true (to a liberal mind).

More truthiness.

If it is "probably false" to a liberal then it would also be "probably true" to a conservative.

I would think otherwise, as most conservatives are not just knee-jerk contrarians. I'm sure a lot of conservatives value actual evidence over party-line.

Or, maybe we need the government, or another committe to tell us what to believe. After all we need to protect all the thinkers of the world. Wasn't it you that said Pelosi's comment about needing to pass the bill before reading the bill made sense to "thinkers?"

No, that is not what Pelosi's comment was and therefore not what I said made sense - you've twisted it here. I take it from this twisting that you don't understand Pelosi's comment or why it made sense to thoughtful people.

And, you miss the point completely. It isn't that Foxworthy did or didn't write it. It is what is written. Deal with it.

No, I didn't miss the point at all.

I agree. A joke is a joke is a joke. The funnier ones are true, as is the case here.

This one is just insults disguised as humor, haw haw haw. No truth and little good humor.

 

[pescador]

Oh. I thought maybe you were an LSU alum. Just kidding.


My daughter lived in McAllen, Texas. I am familiar with Mexico and the troubles they face. Yes, many are hard-working and are Christian but they are NOT Americans. They are Mexicans and cannot cross the border illegally.

The statement is not against the poor. It is a statement against illegal aliens. You should be able to see the difference.


.

I'm sure that you meant "they cannot cross the border legally". Of course Mexicans CAN cross the border legally. Those who cross the border illegally have broken US law but that doesn't mean that they depend on US tax money for anything. You are stating that they depend on US taxes so it is unequivocally a statement against the Mexican poor whom you think can't support themselves.

Right, America has no responsibility for supplying guns and millions of dollars to Mexican gangsters in exchange for lovely illegal drugs. We can't help that, it's just the way it is.

 

[SPB1987]

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If only in the year 2012 we were able to "choose" a job that offers healthcare....and many jobs do offer it...but when your only making about $10/hour and have any children, you can forgot about affording it.

 

[DaisyDay]

Maybe now folks will stop the silliness and deal with the message. I wonder if that is one of the Alinsky tactics liberals are taught? You know....if you can't refute it then change the subject...even if it what you change it to isn't valid.

The only people who seem really familiar with Alinski's tactics - to the point of being able to quote them - are right-wingers. It's weird.

.

What was the name of the guy who always did that annoying spaces followed by a period? Is this a reincarnation?

LOL ... no more weird than the non-existence of Marxists, communists and socialists. That hardly means that they don't exist. If they didn't, then the USSR would never have existed; Communist China would never have existed; North Korea would not exist; the Vietnam War would never have happened; Fidel Castro would never have ascended to power; Hugo Chavez would not be in power and numerous other self-aggrandizing tyrants would never have disgraced their countries and ruined their peoples.

Thanks for remembering, DaisyDay.

That makes no sense as a response to what I said.

That was/is you? I guess I haven't responded to any of your posts for a while.

Oh well. One sometimes just never knows how one's words will be received.

That was/is you?

Yes, you and some others complained about it ... so I quit doing it.

Whirlwind and I think it adds to the ambiance though.

I guess I haven't responded to any of your posts for a while.

That's OK. No need to, really. I'll still respond to yours when it seems appropriate.

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he pretends he does so his buddies don’t think he’s a whimp.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, they promote reasonable regulation and education.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he’s a cannibal.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he teaches his friends how to cook some darned tasty veggie dishes.

If a Republican is homosexual, he hates himself.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he fights for the same rights that every other American gets.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he blames Democrats for crapping on big corporations by making them pay taxes and following regulations that protect worker’s health and our environment.
A Democrat wonders why mega-corps are making record profits and still not hiring.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he reads Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be held to the same standards as real journalists.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he has nothing to live for.
A Democrat non-believer wants separation of church and state.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes without, like so many others, unless he has a spare 2 grand every month because employers aren’t offering health insurance as often as they used to.
A Democrat fights for health coverage for all Americans.

If a Republican reads this, he'll turn beet red and start spitting “socialist”, “commie”, “Marxist” or any one of the other words they don’t understand.
A Democrat will forward this because they believe in humanity and the rights of all Americans, even Republicans.

Author Wait Wut (at least he posted it as his own). As it was on the internet, I can't be sure he didn't repost it from somewhere else.

You're right. The problem is, if Foxworthy was the author as I believe him to be then leaving his name off is shortchanging him for wonderful, funny and true comments.


If I wrote them I would certainly want my name on them.

I am applauding your effort at humour.

That second one about being a cannibal was a bit over the top, but fortunately being funny makes it less harsh. It reminds me of how people in Georgia can say something bad about someone and get away with it just by adding a certain colloquialism.

Example: That Sarah Palin sure is dumb.... bless her heart.

That's not exactly what "bless your heart" means down south.

No, you don't understand what I meant. You missed the irony given in the comment which is pretty amazing to me. Allow me to quote my previous response....

Why yes. They are ALL independently wealthy. They want to come to live with us so they can pay taxes.

That's why when I go to the border towns I see rows and rows of cardboard shacks, I see little girls in ragged clothes begging in the streets, little boys selling Chiclet gum. Yes JCSr....I'm suggesting they are all rich.

Do you see now?

I didn't say any were really good or funny to me, I was just applauding your effort.

I'm sure that you meant "they cannot cross the border legally". Of course Mexicans CAN cross the border legally. Those who cross the border illegally have broken US law but that doesn't mean that they depend on US tax money for anything. You are stating that they depend on US taxes so it is unequivocally a statement against the Mexican poor whom you think can't support themselves.

Yes, some can cross legally but many cross illegally.

As for depending on US taxes...you are kidding?

If they could support themselves in Mexico would they pour over the border?
