"illegals"

Submitted by Jackson Dunlap (United States), Nov 14, 2006 at 21:53

Attention: Lou Dobbs;

You, Sir, have been a breath of fresh from among the ALLEGEDLY "Democratically biased" media and God bless you for it. I consider myself a corporate (against corporate corruption, greed and levanting turncoat abscondery) conservative and a RAGING social (programs, services and protections for ALL people inside our borders) liberal.

To me, paying taxes has been and still is not only a PRIVILEGE but an HONOR as an American mainly because NONE of us could ever possibly repay what this once glorious, magnanimous and God loving nation gave us and all those millions who gave up their lives and limbs to leave us, Sir. And if my taxes go to help the needy of ANY pedigree, all the merrier, Sir. Certainly more nationally and globally productive than funding pointless perpetual WAR and butchery of our brave young soldiers and UMPTEEN THOUSANDS of mostly innocent Iraqis, wouldn't you agree?

All you've said about what I've considered a stolen and treasonous oligarchy from the beginning I've been saying for TWELVE YEARS concerning this turncoat neoconservative multinational corporate and wealthy elite shoveling bankruptor of this nation's entire wherewithal and six years including the titular war-mongering captain of this rotting garbage scow of state. They've lied to us, cheated us, globally alienated us, practically destroyed our Democracy and have so circumvented our Constitution as the render it virtually impotent. Indeed, they've bled our national coffers even to the point of this, once the most prosperous, welcoming, diplomatically respected and globally generous, nation having need to go begging for loan after loan from the last remaining COMMUNIST super-power and, very likely, our very near future worst enemy. You've been right on target with every syllable concerning all THAT, Sir.

HOWEVER, I have one HUMONGOUS bone to pick with you and your constant dirge concerning "illegals". To premise the following, allow me to inform you that I am neither Hispanic nor am I related to one nor am I any more nor less fond of any than I am of my fellow Americans. In fact, I'm as Irish as Paddy's pig and as American as mom's apple pie USED to represent, Sir.

And, now as to my "rant" as you, et al, will no doubt consider it just as has every other peon-o-phobic I've thus far met, Sir:

First, I feel behooved to remind you that this nation has been rapidly developing a SERIOUS birth rate deficit AND an equally rapid aging population for DECADES. Between wars, incarcerations for the most piddling drug infraction which make very possibly reformed and contributing citizens into highly resentful pains in society's posterior and REAL drains on our ALLEGED "growing economy". Add to those the escalating gang murders and the OUTLANDISH use of abortions as little more than handy contraceptives and you'll have to admit that we're voraciously eradicating our, what few are being born, YOUTH and our very transcendency as a viable global entity, Sir. That all may well seem piddling or knee-jerk exaggeration to you, Sir, but it won't be to yours and my upcoming progeny.

At the risk so seeming prejudicial which I most certainly am not, our WHITE population is faring far worse as our "legal" Hispanic population has nearly reached actuarial, electoral and societal equalibreum. That may well be the best thing to happen to this new-age and virtually alien nation in MY estimation if that's what it'll take to mellow out this nationwide, media driven mob hysteria concerning "illegals", Sir.

What your sound-bite strewn repetitively played and replayed manta is doing can only be defined as, at best, rabble-rousing and, at worst, inciting to riot. This nation's masses had already been so dumbed down by all the mealy-mouthed media hype of the past twelve years that the vast major will swallow almost anything that appears even REMOTELY plausible or might somehow excuse whatever they lack in themselves, Sir. Glib-tongued orator that you are, you're sprinkling in just enough truth the make your entire spiel appear gospel to those who pay little to no attention to anything not slapping them in the face or are just plain DUMB. You're repeatedly telling this nation that a piddling twelve million poor wretches (2.5% of our population) are "stealing all our jobs", "pushing down wages", "burdening our health system" and "flooding our schools" when you know very well the two culprits most guilty are this new-age alien national bureaucracy and the near total demise of our once WORLD CLASS industrial infrastructure. Why is it that not even the loudest repudiators of everything Right in this nation never seem to recognize that BLINDINGLY GLOWING FACT, Sir?

I have MUCH more to say to you, Sir, but I doubt even the above will be received with much fanfare around the studio. And I won't be waiting with bated breath for an answer because I don't believe your MONUMENTAL holier-than-thou "I've got mine so to Hell with you" ego would be up to any kind of truthful alternative dialogue There's a LOT of THAT going around these days as well. Sir.

Yours only HALF truly,

Jackson Dunlap
