…that refuses to defend its borders?
Conquered.
Remember this?
Last year, at third world county, I posted about my disgust with such disrespect for the American flag and the flying of the Mexican flag on American soil in superior position to the American flag… by people who are being freely “taught” in American schools but who lend their allegiance to the flag of another land. In that post, I showed pictures of the Mexican flag rudely disrespected with the argument that such disrespect was the proper display of such a flag on American soil.
Imagine the response… po’ widdle babies couldn’t take what they so freely dish out.
Oh, I didn’t mind the comments stating outright (falsely) that I am a “hater” a “racist” because I gave tit for tat, simply handing back on a virtual platter a mild form of the disrespect shown on our own soil by those who should go home, if that’s where their allegiance lies.
After all, I expected no less from people who support the unlawful invasion of another country, who support as just, right and good the idea that committing felonies left and right (identity theft, forging of dcuments in order to commit further crimes, etc.) is a positive good, that disrespect of the flag of a land they live in and whose society feeds and clothes and otherwise cares for them in a way their own does not is right and proper, etc.
No, I expected that. But what continues to exasperate me is that all too many of our congresscritters and our president continue to seek to surrender our country to those who say, as one commenter on that post said,
Abajo la bandera de estados unidos!!!!!!!!
(“Down with the flag of the United States”–except, of course, the commenter refused to even give the minimal respect of capitalizing the name of this country in spanish. *heh*)
It seems I recall someone wiser than our current government officials and functionaries saying something different to their “oppress those who would enforce our borders” attitude.
“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.”– George Washington (Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association of Ireland, 2 December 1783)
Key: “…a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.”
No one, NO ONE who invades our country, illegally, immorally, unethically jumping line ahead of those righteous immigrants who patiently wait in line to enter legally can possibly, ever, under ANY circumstance meet that bare minimum qualification wisely noted by George Washington: “decency and propriety of conduct”.
That our congresscritters seek to subvert any enforcement of our borders (link to “Turban” Durban’s bill that has bi-partisan support–just one example of many efforts) with attempts to give amnesty to hordes of invaders and President Bush promises amnesty to Mexico for Mexican invaders are “small” signs that our nation’s leadership has decided to sink the boat.
Listen again to another blast from the past that shows greater wisdom–heck, my son’s dogs show greater wisdom in dealing with invaders!–than our elected leaders today:
“…we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.
“If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American.
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”–Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
That our elected leadership cannot (or more probably will not, as a matter of short-sighted greed) hold onto the simple core idea that a country that will not defend its borders is doomed to fall is chilling.
Do NOT accept the lies that the invaders are only here “doing jobs Americans won’t do” or that most of them are good citizen material (what part of “illegal alien” do such argumkents ignore, hmmm?). Don’t accept the idea that legalizing rape is the way to stop rapists. Well, that’s the same argument as those who say granting amnesty to those who violate U.S. soveriegnty is the way to stop an alien invasion.
