A lady wrote the best letter in the editorials In ages!!! It explains things better than allThe baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.


Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.But I say, 'No! I like it here.

It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well,you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, andthere is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior. Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? Only in America .

GOD BLESS AMERICA, for we need all the help we can get when we have politicians who are too stupid or crooked to do anything about an ILLEGAL immigration problem that seems too big for their small minds to solve.

What's Happening

Because we don't enforce our borders

This is happening now. The eagle is crying.

Voter Fraud? Of Course Not!

While watching the Democratic caucus in Nevada today, the thought came to mind that it looked like the election of a third world country. What has this nation come to? Where is the dignity of a Reagan, a Kennedy, an Eisenhower, a Carter?

They needed interpreters to understand what was going on! Does that give you a clue as to what is coming in our election? To become a citizen one must learn English! This election will be nothing but a sham paid for by the taxpayers of the USA for the benefit of the government of Mexico.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

I thought at one time that I would always live in the greatest nation on earth. If the people in this country don't take hold of this country and these politicians I will still be alive to see the fall of the USA. That is a sad thought. Even sadder is the thought that what we knew as the USA will not be here for our children.

Pet Peeve

The GOM has re-entered the world of commerce. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to order your sheet of stickers to place on the windshield of any cars you see illegally parked in handicapped spaces. The GOM will not rant on these idiots today, he might explode.

Coffee and Retirement

How did we get here? I've seen and somewhat understand the rise of Starbuck's. The Boomers had to have a place to get their upgraded coffee to which they feel entitled. Now I see McDonald's is jumping in to the specialty coffee business. 

Will any of the people that have, or will have paid upwards of $50 per gallon for their coffee over the  period of their lives ever regret it?

Let's see how many senior citizens living on Social Security in the coming years will be ordering thier egg mcmuffin with a double latte mocha caramel frappachino with double whipped cream.  Will Mickey D still offer the simple "senior coffee"?

I can't wait to see the circus at my local McDonald's, the one mentioned in a previous post. Maybe they can understand "Starbuck's speak" better than they do English.

What's Really Important

Sorry it's been a while since the last post. I've just been too upset by the latest news. Since Thursday the GOM has been riveted to the TV following the terrible tragedy that has befallen one of America's greatest icons, Brittany Spears.

COME ON PEOPLE! How can this Brittany crap have such a hold on the American people? And more significant, how can it dominate the media? There have almost been more stories about her than the slanted stories we are getting about the primaries.

All the candidates should be heard! ALL! The exclusion of one of the viable Republican candidates from a debate is nothing less that censorship. Ask yourself, Why does the media and RNC want to  silence Ron Paul?

I don't necessarily support him, but he has the right to be heard. Our elections are controlled in this country by the media. They determine what candidates are seen and heard. They run polls with questions designed to enhance their candidate's position.

We have become a nation of sheep in this country. We are being led by the media which is owned by the extremely wealthy 1% of this country, not the masses.  Only a few media people get it right, a very few.

The GOM doesn't care who you vote for, as long as you vote with an informed opinion. If you vote, know who and what you are voting for. Take part in this wonderful privilege we have in this country, at least for now.

McDonald's and the Illegal Immigration Crisis

The standard disclaimer applies to this post. Please understand the difference between immigrants and ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The GOM visited a local McDonald's over the holidays. As I waited in the line, there was only one ahead of me, four different customers approached the counter with complaints about their orders. There were 5 or 6 people behind the counter screaming at each other in a language I didn't understand. It used to be that McDonald's used a lot of young people and even retirees to staff their stores. Not any more! The use the cheapest labor they can get. McDonald's employees used to try to get the orders right. Now they either don't care or can't tell the difference, or both.

The person ahead of me was served and then the register attendant joined the others in the screaming match. I was approached by a 70-75 year old lady who very nicely asked me why there was no one in the restaurant that spoke good English. I told her that I was not the person to answer that. She then stated that they should all move back to Mexico. I laughed and asked in a loud voice if there was anyone who could take my order. One of them broke away from the jibber jabber and took the order.

If ICE were to conduct raids on all the McDonald's I don't think there would be enough employees left to lock up the doors. There was not ONE Caucasian in this restaurant, which was in an upscale area of town, not in the barrio.

When will the population WAKE UP? These ILLEGAL ALIENS are going to find a way to VOTE! We need to have representation in DC that will stand up to the corporate lobbyists. Our politicians are SELLING our country.
