I've got some 'WTF"s

I was listening to NPR the other day. They were interviewing people living in Mexican border towns asking them what they thought about the American presidential elections.

This one Mexican citizen stated that this election is so important to Mexican workers because it will affect their ability to cross the border and work undocumented in the U.S. She also stated how it was very unfair that Mexico had no say in the Presidential elections.

The NPR interviewer agreed that it sounded unfair as well.

For a second I thought it was a parody or comedy sketch. How can people be so insanely stupid?

Oh yeah lets let Mexicans vote themselves a free ride and dual citizenship with all the perks...that's the ticket... Oh I know! Lets just give the Southern U.S back to Mexico and let them turn it into a corrupt third world shithole like they are accustomed to.

These idiots make my head hurt.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, speaking to a local Iowa radio station, said that terrorists would dance in the streets if Sen. Barak Obama, D-Illinois, is elected president...

Well no shit! Obama has promised to immediately pull all the troops out of Iraq and start negotiations with regimes that fund and encourage terrorism. Regardless of what people say, those idiot terrorist ragheads will believe that Barak Hussein Obama will be their knight in shining armor

... and with Obama's dismal voting record on national security.He may very well be. His campaign offices have posters of Che' Guevara on the walls for Chissakes.

All these school shootings. For crying out loud!

When will people get it through their head that "Gun free zones do not apply to crazy mother fuckers who want to go out in a blaze of glory and take a bunch of unarmed sheep with them.

Gun control will not solve this problem. Letting people have a viable means of self defense in all public places is the only answer.

There have been at least 4 potential massacres stopped by armed students and concealed weapon permit holders in the last few years.

We already tried banning guns on campus See what that got us?

Passing another gun control law is just going to keep honest law abiding people defenseless. The criminals and crazies will never give up their guns! They don't give a rats ass about the laws of our society.

Criminal: "someone who does not obey or respect laws" It's not that difficult a concept.

Think about it this way. You live on a nice quiet residential street with a speed limit of 30 miles per hour. All night long, gangs of kids drag race down your street at ungodly speeds. If we used the logic of gun control advocates their solution would be to lower the speed limit to 20.

I think I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Maybe we should just confiscate all cars since registration doesn't seem to be working? ;)

The problem is obvious - everything you said here makes total sense and therefore can not possibly happen because our govmt does not operate on common sense.

Don't even get me started on gun control. I live near the Mexican Border (well about 70 miles from it but that's relatively close compared to most places) and we have those signs along our 65 mph freeways warning us to beware of families with young children running across the road. Its sad.

I know people who have moved from Mexico to make a better life and they follow our laws and work their asses off. I know others who come over and cram 20 families in one house then live off our welfare system all the while putting down America and bitching about how unfairly they are being treated while third kids get an education here and form gangs at our high schools.

Both these types of people live on my street so I know what I am talking about.

As a Canadian, I have been observing this election process with quiet interest.

I can honestly say that I don't know much...but I DO know that Obama guy scares the shit outta me...just my gut, but I do pay attention to that.

hammer - the fact that one of the students in the yeshiva in israel had a gun and drew a bead on the pali/hamas shooter proves to me that if there were nobody carrying in the school that day, there would definitely have been more bloodshed.

do you remember hearing of the teacher a few months ago who killed the raccoon brought to school in a livetrap (it had been killing chickens at a local farm)? he shot it clean in the head with a nailgun and it died instantly. my kids go to this school - the reason he used the nailgun was because weapons (knives and guns) are not allowed in schools!

personally, if i'd been him, i'd've left it in the live trap and taken it home and put it out of the chicken owner's misery - peta's been making a stink over it - what peta doesn't understand is that we don't like them in these parts...

now, where'd i put my nailgun...?

and, here a few months ago, my granddaughter was in a lockdown in a school with a shooter in northern californistan - they were told to lie facedown on the floor after the door was closed and locked - so they had to lie there for two hours - what if he'd come back and just started strafing them?

wtf is this world coming to?

It must be all those pharmaceuticals in the water. That reminds me, just think of all the criminals who are going to use that as a defense: "Your honor, I got drunk and mowed down a bunch of people on a corner because I'd had a glass of water contaminated with trace amounts of Percocet."

Hi Hammer,
You need to come down here by me and help straighten out the mess down here. Never wonder why I am not paying attention to the election so far.
No one I want is running for President. They all scare the crap out of me.
As for gun control. Please. I hate guns. Won't let one in my house. The crooks would just find it and use it on me anyway. I say let them bring their own,. Thats why I have dogs.
Time for the gym.

They actually had swamp buggy racing on TV? Oh my.

Have an awesome day.

that's like down in the trailer park I live in. Some lady was not watching her 3 year old daughter, letting her run, and she darted out behind a car in front of a teenage boy. Well yeah he hit her and it killed her.

The cities way of fixing this was to puta 15mph speed limit down here and put in speed bumps.

The mom's way of getting revenge was to send horrid letters to this young man, and to send the girls obit and pictures of her when he hit her to him at christmas time. The poor kid tried to kill himself repeatedly for the guilt. And it was the mom's fault for not watching her kid.

Okay done ranting sorry about that.

What is most wrong is I don't know a single person who would disagree with you, yet society seems to want to make us feel like the oddballs. Rolling Stone Magazine has Biraq Osama on the cover all airbrushed to look like the Magic Negro Who Saved The World! Like some sort of savior. It's so ridiculous it's scary. People buy this shit?!

so if the mexican's get a say in our elections, does that mean u.s. citizens get to vote in mexican elections?

how about do american's get to own property in mexico? can we get free medical care? can we come and go as we please and work without being registered with their central government? oh, and we need all signs, contracts, doctors, businesses, etc. to be written in english in addtition to spanish.

yeah, i'll hold my breath waiting for this - i should be dead and buried soon...
