It's obvious she was running out of room on the sign and had to make a hard choice for democracy.
Get a brain, morans!
Check out the dude in the back left with the American flag doo-rag
(now that spells Patroitism in any language)! Is that him?
joe, you've got a typo there.
It's spelled b-r-i-a-n-s
Now who's the moran?
Actually that is pretty funny Radley. Almost as funny as the various "fuck it is still Mexico" signs and the like that were at the illegal immigrant rallies last year. Reason of course will be publishing pictures of those and other signs real soon I am sure.
Making fun of people because they don't speak a foreign language
perfectly = snobbish, unfunny
Making fun of people because they can't write a two-word statement
in their native tongue properly = teh funny
Making fun of people because they can't write a two-word
statement in their native tongue properly while in the
act of condemning others for not being like them, one criticism
often being due to their poor grasp of English= teh
funny
There, fixed...
joe's rule of grammar criticism strikes again. Either that or
I'm still a little drunk from last night's combined Steelers
victory and Pitt's upset of Duke.
Merry Christmas...
Could somebody with access to photoshop please change the little girl's sign to "honkies for english"?
I once had to mediate a dispute between two property owners over
which one was going to get to buy a little sliver of city-owned
land between their lots. One of them was a Cambodian fellow who
owned a two-family, and the other was a Portugeuse guy who owned a
single-family home.
I had a great deal of trouble understanding the Portugeuse
gentleman. After a few minutes, I realized he was complaining about
the Cambodian immigrants. "Dey should-a go home!"
That's so cute!
Here's another cute
photo.
Say, maybe Reason could pick up a few
bob. If you're going to support corporatism by not asking
employers to pay the *full* cost of their labor, you might as well
get a cut, right?
It's easy, too. Get their number here: embassyofmexico.org The guy
you want to speak to is Arturo.
Don't forget about those 'Minutemen' who are keeping Mexicans out of this country by builing a wall of beer cans 1000 miles long...reinforced by confederate flags.
BakedPenguin: That is absolutely rich! I just hurled Christmas fudge. That photoshop makes it look so real, and reveals deeper truths.....
At the immigration rally thing they held in Tucson about 2 years
ago, a few noble patriots gathered outside the Mexican consulate to
burn the Mexican flag on the street. There was video on the local
news of an angry man rolling over the burning Mexican flag on his
motorized wheelchair.
It was awesome.
Lamar - Photoshop is teh awesome. I'll stick this up at Urkobold...

"yall ferners wan be American yall gown hafta lern to talk like mericans and also stop with all this illegalism and takin taxes"
Check out the dude in the back left with the American flag
doo-rag (now that spells Patroitism in any language)! Is that
him?
Heh ... but you know, you could have spelled "patriotism" a little
more adriotly.
Birthright citizenship similarly rewards lawbreaking, and must be stopped. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the perverse incentive to sneak into this country remains strong. Citizenship involves more than the mere location of one's birth. True citizenship requires cultural connections and an allegiance to the United States. Americans are happy to welcome those who wish to come here and build a better life for themselves, but we rightfully expect immigrants to show loyalty and attempt to assimilate themselves culturally. Birthright citizenship sometimes confers the benefits of being American on people who do not truly embrace America. --Ron Paul "The Immigration Question"
Just a clarification: when R. Paul says "birthright citizenship
... must be stopped" does he mean that if my great-grandfather
legally came to the US 1900 and became a citizen, and my
grandfather and father and I were born in the US and were citizens
because of that, that should I have kids under a Paul presidency
they would have to pass a citizenship test and somehow show the
proper allegiance to the USA to become a citizen? Or is he limiting
this to non-citizens having children in the US who therefore become
citizens?
Not that I'm against either position, but I'd like to know what is
thinking is here.
