A letter to the editor

Received in an email from a friend of mine:

To the editor:

I don't understand why the White House is so upset about the two party crashers at Barack Obama's steak dinner the other night.

Is it really appropriate and politically correct to call them party crashers just because they trespassed on Mr. Obama? Does that make them criminals? Isn't that discrimination? Shouldn't they be rewarded for such bold and brave behavior? Maybe they were just trying to feed their family?

I would suggest that it's more appropriate to call them "undocumented guests."

Just because they weren't officially invited doesn't mean they should be treated like criminals. Maybe they should get free health care, free housing, free legal services and free White House green cards so next time they can enter legally. And they should be able to bring all of their relatives and family members, too.

How can Mr. Obama be mad at them just because they crossed over some arbitrary man-made border? They were there only to do the things that regularly invited guests didn't want to do. (Like hang out with Joe Biden.)

How can the White House punish these poor oppressed undocumented visitors?

Aww...now that's just delicious.

Filing that away for blog-o'clock tonight.

It really is unfathomable that any human could actually get into the White House uninvited... and shake hands with the president...

Great application though Lo!

[Senior Frog]

Stop patting yourself on the back because your weak attempt at humor was not remotely clever.

ah....poor wittle Senior Frog has his panties in a bunch 'cause you made fun of his Obamessiah. There, there Froggie, it's ok. Just keep repeating "Hope-n-Change, Hope-n-Change...."

[tim aka The Godless Heathen]

Brilliant.

[Greta]

Great point wellplaced.

[vanderleun]

Oh I stole that one as quickly as possible. Thanks.

[Locutisprime]

I feel like a game of Frogger. But it looks like others beat me to it. Too bad road kill, your boy is taking a beating now and he isn't following the script either.

Being a wing nut liberal must really be a pain these days.

[Mommynator]

Okay, that was brilliantly funny. Seriously.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[songstress7]

AHAHAHAHA.... Primo!

You can't handle brutally hones.I feel truly sad for this country. Whoever writes this sh*t, thinks it is funny or profound? wow! if this is the best you got,you better have someone unhook you from the ventilator. you are brain dead........kellyw.

[Mommynator]

So you write something funnier, kellyw. And while you're at it, work on your grammar and spelling. It might make it easier to understand what you're talking about.

[kelly weaver]

mommy , sorry ,the t that was supposed to be at the end of the word honest ,must have left and went to a "t" party.....sorry kw not bad, huh?

[Raddave]

Kelly W., you can't be serious! This is the problem with people who worship at the altar of the Obamessiah, they can't stand it when their inconsistent policy positions are pointed out to them in a humorous and satirical way.

Here's how it goes Kelly: Liberals (like you) claim that it ISN'T a crime for people to sneak into our country ILLEGALLY, get on our welfare rolls, and overwhelm our already heavily burdened emergency rooms (in addition to the myriad other problems caused by illegal immigration... don't get me started). In trying to deny it's a problem liberals use phraseology like: Oh no, they aren't illegals, they are just an honest family looking for an honest day's wage and probably just trying to feed their hungry little children, besides which there just doing work Americans won't do. Don't call them illegal that is just wrong call them undocumented because they just don't have the right documentation, I know it's illegal to break into the country but those are just words and it's just a man defined border.

So when we see a similar (equally criminal) activity where people illegally enter a facility and the same people, who don't get up in arms about illegal immigration, get all up in arms about this then it gives us an opportunity to use their own words to point out the inconsistency of of their position. You don't think it's funny because it shows you how dishonest and ignorant your position truly is ... and that's another reason why we DO think it's funny.

It's sad that a juxtaposition that is so glaring needs to be spelled out to a pin headed twit who obviously doesn't work in an industry or live in a State decimated by illegal aliens. Had that been the case, Miss Weaver would have appreciated the sad irony of the satire.

[kelly weaver]

not miss weaver ...i am in construction. i have been a carpenter for 35 years.Just curious what the person who has this blog does for a living.... Just one question. Did you have this blog going under the prior administrations when the free trade agreements were being enacted? yours kw.

[kelly weaver]

to jt....my mistake...I did not know conservatives had a sense of humor,most I meet are so very angry..kw.

[Mommynator]

You see, kelly, what you misunderstand is that we actually want to engage you in a discussion of your ideas.

When you come here and just spew, we can't do that. And if you spew ungrammatically and we have no clue what you're trying to say, we can't discuss things with you.

It's called respect. We have it for you. It would be nice if you could have the same for us.

You don't need to agree with us, but you do need to be able to explain yourself.

If you can't, there's no point being here. Go find some likeminded people and spew with them, illogically and ungrammatically.

KW where were you for the past eight years? While the left was in the deep throes of daily angst and anger over the fact that their boy Allegory didn't win the 2000 election? And their commie Kerry fared no better.

And now (somehow) you have come to the conclusion that the conservative right is always angry? You seem to have missed a lot on your side of the isle the past eight years KW. And even what is presently going on with your current house speaker. Who dropped a house on her sister?

I believe Rick can speak for himself (he owns this blog), but since I posted this particular piece of satire that has your bowels in such an uproar? I will give you the benefit of a peek at my profile.

I retired seven years ago after a thirty year career in law enforcement and I presently engage in private security. I am a Vietnam veteran and a Christian. And to really salt the wounds? I believe in God, morals, integrity, honor, personal responsibility and loyalty to faith, family and country. And that includes my rights over and above the supposed rights of others who were not born here and have no standing what so ever to criticize my country or attempt to claim rights from it.

What is it about this parody involving illegal aliens that disturbs you so KW? Or is it seeing as you are in the construction business? That you have a personal and professional interest in the employment of undocumented workers (AKA illegal aliens)?

Stay tuned for my next piece of allegory KW, as it will probably deal with another one of your probable favorites....Mr. allegory himself, "Al Gore."

For the record, his stock is headed south on a greased rail of late. Looks like that climate change lie of his is finally coming unraveled.

[chuck aka xtnyoda]

Dang KW... you've run into a hornet's nest here!

Just wait until the 2010 elections... they are getting ready to see about 200 million very angry hornets out of the 300 or so million we call Americans... and these 200 million are going to be demonstrating some very territorial and defensive characteristics... that is a description of characteristics we would call "conservative."

[kelly weaver]

You missed my satire.I just happened on this site.Please tell me your answer on free trade. Do you blame it all on liberals ,or conservatives also? Don't get mad. I am just jacking around. I tend to notice all problems are blamed on liberals by conservatives.I blame everyone equally. Capitalized and punctuated. My real name. kellyweaver.My only claim to notoriety is my first cousin. you might have heard of him.Randy Weaver..Ruby Ridge?.

[Locutisprime]

Interesting. We missed the satire? Please enlighten us to the subtlety of the satire that you are referencing.

In the mean time, you seem to have an infatuation with NAFTA, as opposed to the actual point of the original satire of this piece. You do realize that it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA in to law don't you?

GHWB negotiated it, but it was Clinton who refined it and then walked it through congress and to his desk for signature into law.

The reality KW? Both parties have culpability in most things, as is the case with the dissolving of the barriers that prevented the present FUBAR of economy that we find ourselves in. That one was called the Glass Stegal Act. And with bipartisan participation? Bill Clinton signed into law the dissolving of that protection that had been in effect since the 1930's. Now, combine that fact with what he did to "turbo boost" the "communities reinvestment act?" And you have the makings for the present circumstances of a collapsed economy as a result of the sub prime mortgage debacle.

So....Randy Weaver is your cousin eh? So does that mean that you are simply anti government across the board? Or is your dislike rest solely against conservatives and republicans?

Take a number my friend, many Americans are at odds with this government and have been long before the present regime assumed power.
