I write the above for anyone who may misinterpret, misunderstand, or misuse some of my posts on this area; for any one who may see the next link as a contradiction; for anyone who may not value a paradox.
Stuff White People Like: a satire, or soft racism? I don't know; but it is sure damn good.
UPDATE: I just had the thought that it would be great if they would put up some sister sites: Stuff Hispanic People Like, Stuff Black People Like. There would then be some sure controversy, as I can think up quite a few stereotypical things to list. Ha!
The Beast, has "The 50 Most Loathsome People, 2007."
To my non-surprise, Lou Dobbs has made the list at no. 40, Bill O'Reilly at 23, Alberto Gonzalez at 10, George Bush as numero uno....and YOU, as number 9:
"You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism -- it's nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you..."
HA!
Happy New Year, folks!!!
Thanks Nick...and that put a thought in my head: With the middle class slipping more and more every day, many Americans in debt, housing payments missed and an entire industry in dire, the weakening dollar, talks of the economy entering a recession, and outsourcing of jobs, we just may have ourselves our very own home grown cheap labor work force. Then we'll have enough 'Americans' to work the fields, slave over a sewing machine, and work to their bones in the food service industry all for what an 'Illegal' makes a day. How about that? Great news, huh? Now (then), everyone will be happy.
With a recession on the horizon, don't expect Congress to pass amnesty anytime soon. Especially since the enforcement measures are beginning to work (such as in Arizona), our politicians can no longer try to dupe us into accepting that amnesty is the only practical solution.
