ABOUT BORDER SECURITY

ABOUT BORDER SECURITY

.
Face it, Bone Spur, we’re not giving you one dime to waste on either building a tribute to your ego, or appeasing the bigotry of your supporters. So you might as well stop torturing the American people trying to make it happen. 
.

.

Dems, please stop tap dancing around this damn border wall issue.  Just tell Trump NO, so he might as well stop calling meetings trying to negotiate. We’re not gonna to waste one goddamn dime on that boondoggle of a wall just to appease the bigotry of his racist base. He can throw a tantrum or do whatever the hell he wants to do, but whatever it is, he’s gonna have to do it without Democratic support of any kind.
.
If he wants to build a wall, let him build it with the $1.5 trillion tax cut he gave himself and his rich friends - they’re patriots with plenty of cash; or make Mexico pay for it like he said he was gonna do. Tell him to do whatever he decides to do, but don’t even bring no silly-ass wall up to us anymore, and that's our final response. We’re not in the business of helping you appease either your ego or your bigoted base - end of discussion.
.The point is, we’ve got to be firm with people like Trump and his ignorant-ass supporters, otherwise they’ll think we can be pressured into seeing things through their deluded eyes. So we can’t just stand around hemming and hawing and looking down at our feet. We’ve got to tell ‘em point blank - “Hell no, we’re not gonna pay for no goddamn wall, so get your dumb asses out of our face and take that crazy-ass bullshit with you!”
.
Yeah, I know, that’s kinda crude, but there’s a time and a place for everything , including being crude. If the Democrats had been a little more crude initially we wouldn’t be in a government shutdown today, because it would have sent a clear message that paying for a wall is a non-debatable issue. We’re in a shutdown because that idiot thinks he can convince us to see things his way with just a little bit more pressure. So a little crudeness is in order at a time like this. It’s time to simply say, “Man, kiss my ass! If you want to bring the government to a halt, that’s on you.” It's time to put all ceremony aside and call a fool a fool.  It's time for the Democrats to say the following:
.
"Bone Spur, You don't give a damn about border security, if you did you'd also be concerned about the security of our Northern border with Canada. A terrorist can simply walk across the Canadian border into this country and his most formidable challenge would be trying to read the sign saying, “Welcome to the United States.” The Northern border doesn’t have anything but White folks on the other side, so it doesn’t contain the kind of bigoted red meat that you can throw to your base to generate a passion for a wall. That explains why you never mention it, because the Canadian border is not politically divisive enough.
.
"Your political philosophy is based on division, and since Canada is full of White Folks, advocating a wall on the Canadian border would serve no useful purpose. The entire purpose of the wall is to satisfy the racist inclinations of your bigoted White base by keeping non-Whites out of the country. Thus, the wall’s true purpose is not to maintain border security at all; the wall’s true purpose is to appeal to White bigotry by offsetting the growing demographic of non-Whites within the country, and also, to cater to your unquenchable need to glorify Donnie Bone Spur.
.
"It’s old news to most Americans that you will do literally anything to glorify yourself, so your proposed wall not only serves to create racial division within the country, but it also gives you an opportunity to build a lasting edifice to yourself - “THE GREAT WALL OF DONALD TRUMP.” Last year you wanted to give yourself a military parade. So we’ve got to keep in mind that we're not dealing with a rational person with you, Donnie. We’re dealing with the kind of mindlessly dysfunctional narcissism that most Americans just can’t wrap their heads around, and we’ve got to keep that fact in mind while dealing with your idiocy.
.
"So it's important that we get you and your supporters to view reality through stable eyes and stop treating you like you're normal people with reasonable points of view. The majority of your supporters are a collection of fascists and un-American lunatics, and we need to point that out with every opportunity we get, and we've got to stop normalizing your outrageous demands as through they're reasonable.
.
"We must never try to be reasonable in the face of stupidity, because the stupid are much too delusional to recognize our humanity. You'll confuse our compassion with weakness and see it as a partial victory on your behalf. The primary reason that we're finding it so difficult to deal with you is because the American people have absolutely no experience with dealing with the kind of dysfunctional instability that you've brought to the Oval Office. We've got to correct that.
.
"So if you wants to shutdown the government or close down our Southern border, we shouldn’t look at it as a time for compromise, we should view it as the opening salvo of a domestic enemy bent on destroying of the United States as we know it. So in short, it's time for us to get rid of your crazy ass."

Accountability: America’s Moral Responsibility to Humanity

BENEATH THE SPIN • ERIC L. WATTREE Accountability: America's Moral Responsibility to Humanity Eight years of Republican "leadership" has left America both economically devastated, and globally humiliated. Yet, far from apologizing for the damage that they've done to the stability and image of this great nation, instead, they've circled their wagons and gone into damage control mode–not to control the damage that they've done to the nation, but in an attempt to rewrite history in order to control the damage that they've done to themselves. So now, as President Obama goes about the business of desperately trying to return America to its former position of economic stability at home, and respect, admiration, and moral authority abroad, the GOP leadership seems to be completely oblivious to the nation's desperate and immediate need for a concerted effort in that regard. They're like clueless children who find it impossible to see the big picture. Thus, at this point it has become abundantly clear that their primary concern is not with restoring America to a sound footing in the world, but rather, simply restoring themselves to power at any cost. This situation points out the wisdom of always seeking to draw something of value from every adversity, and in this case, we should seek enlightenment. In spite of the fact that virtually everyone in the Bush administration managed to avoid serving this nation in uniform (Bush went AWOL, and Cheney obtained five (5) deferments), the GOP has somehow managed to pre-empt and wrap themselves in the glorious vestments of patriotism. But this current situation should teach us a valuable lesson in that regard–never go by what people say; always go by what they do. And what are they doing--while the American people are experiencing the kind of suffering that this country hasn't seen since the Great Depression, and the United States has become the "Dick Cheney" of the world, the GOP's one and only concern is how they can regain power. Is that patriotism? I don't think so. There's only one word to describe this current batch of Republican wingnuts--and you have to go outside the English language to find it--hutzpah. They've left this nation's global standing at its lowest ebb ever, and they've also left us much less safe. But in spite of that, Sean Hannity and FOX news have seen fit to trot out Dick Cheney to lecture President Obama on national governance and world affairs. What Makes these people think that anyone is interested in listening to anything this guy has to say? The vice president of the Crips has a higher approval rating than Dick Cheney, so they can have but one motive--to create division and disseminate propaganda. But Hannity's time would have been better spent holding a seance, then conjuring up the spirit of John Wayne Gacy to give us a lecture on child rearing. It couldn't have been any less productive, but at least there would have been an entertainment factor involved. Then you have Karl Rove trying to imply that President Obama is turning America into a banana republic. When I first heard him, the word "stupid" immediately came to mind. Either Rove is stupid, or he thinks the American people are complete fools. Now, think about it. Wasn't Karl Rove a major part of the very administration that lied us into war, illegally invaded a sovereign state, sent our troops off to war without the proper equipment to keep themselves alive, then made them pay for their own meals while lying wounded in the hospital, then looted the nation's treasury and resources, setup no-bid contracts to enrich their cronies, spied on their own citizens, and as we speak, are now trying to convince America that torture and all of the things listed above are ok, so that Bush, Cheney–and their entire crowd-- won't be prosecuted for war crimes, defrauding the American people, and the senseless waste of human life for personal gain? If I'm not mistaken, I think Karl Rove was indeed a major part of all that. So who looks, sounds, and behaves more like tinhorn dictators? Thus, before Rove starts pointing his finger at President Obama, he needs to smell it first. As a direct result of the greed, poor judgment, and self-service of these people, instead of focusing our efforts on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border where Osama Bin Laden and the others who planned and executed the Nine-Eleven attack on America were in hiding, they went to Iraq and began to tortured innocent detainees–not to protect America, but in an attempt to justify the lies they were telling the American people in order to steal Iraqi oil, enrich themselves, and loot this nation of the necessary resources to fund the New Deal programs that they couldn't attack legislatively. Now, as a direct result of that flawed judgment, we have the Taliban a mere sixty miles away from a nuclear armed Pakistan. So I don't know about the rest of America, but to me, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove's claim of keeping us safe is sounding pretty ridiculous about now. Thus, to even consider "moving on" without prosecuting these people is out of the question. If we simply turned the page on this matter, we become accessories to their war crimes. In addition, we cannot allow them to just walk away from placing the survival of this nation–and indeed, the world--in serious jeopardy. And further, if we are fortunate enough to survive this unmitigated episode of irresponsibility, we need to send an unmistakably graphic message to the next group of budding demagogues, who they've undoubtedly planted throughout the government. If Nixon had gone to prison for Watergate, and Reagan had become his cellmate for selling arms to Iran, we wouldn't be going through what we're going through right now. And finally, we have a moral responsibility to the world. A nation cannot just turn the page after its leaders have committed war crimes and are responsible for the slaughter and/or displacement of a million people. That page won't turn without the offending nation engaging in aggressive corrective action. If it were any other nation, the United States would demand accountability, so we can demand nothing less of ourselves. I know--they're simply wingnut Republiclowns, but their behavior in office was much more than a meaningless prank. Just because we put up with them, doesn't mean that the world should have to. After all, we even carry a pooper scooper for our pets. Trying to walk away from the atrocities of the past seven years would be like defecating and then trying to walk away without cleaning ourselves. We'd have to walk wide-legged and very uncomfortably, throughout the rest of history. Eric L.
