They needed 60 votes and they got 45. The good news is this pile of xenophobic crap is now off the table until the Democrats have control of Congress and the White House, which will add the missing degree of reason that is needed to settle this issue. Even better news is that now our roofs won’t leak, our yards will look snappy, our hotel rooms will be clean, our chickens will be plucked and a tomato won’t cost .
Of course there is also that issue of what Bill O’Reilly so well expressed recently, that outsiders are trying to usurp the historic dominance of White Christian Males like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. Bill is right, and it has been going on now for thousands of years through rivers of blood. It is the good mankind has fought to win for centuries. It is the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, the American Revolution, the French Rights of Man, the US Constitution, the Civil war, suffrage and voting rights.
This issue also touches on one of the main aspects of why boneheads are so opposed to Gay Marriage. They do not want Those People infiltrating our culture because they know damn well that time will prove Those People are better people than the boneheads.
“CNN’s Lou Dobbs has become the spokesman of a paranoid and angry segment of the country, railing against the sinister forces that are overwhelming us. For the right, illegal immigrants have become an obsession. The party of free enterprise has dedicated itself to a huge buildup of the state’s police powers to stop people from working.” Fareed Zakaria in Newsweek
There is another very serious concern regarding the failure of this bill. Will Lou Dobbs, the most respected voice of every Racist Hate Group in America go Howard Beale on us? Or will no bill at all have him dancing on happy feet? Most probably the later as Lou demands the police crash into homes and work places to round them all up, to put entire families in concentration camps, the biggest mass deportation in human history and a war with Mexico OR NOTHING. Lou Dobbs is out of his friggin mind.
