Nothing in that email applies to illegal immigrants that doesn't apply to poor legal citizens. Just one time I want to see one of these emails that blankly says, "You know what? I really don't like Mexicans or the poor and I think we should kick them out of this country." Don't sidestep around with weaselly language, just come right out and loving say it. That said, how many of those programs do illegal aliens actually qualify for? I know that they can get their children in the free school lunch program (the horror) and 'free' healthcare from the ER, but I was under the impression that most of those other things take at least a SSN.

The worst part of it all is his contempt for the students he's supposed to be teaching and guiding. How are they going to learn to respect her/him if s/he doesn't respect them? It makes me want to cry IRL.  Also, "oh no, the kids are getting a balanced meal that can help them get less loving fat"

Yea, my wife works at a non-profit center that helps people get back on their feet, and work with the assistance office with stuff like food stamps, HUD, and other programs. Now, this is in Pennsylvania, so not a whole lot of illegals here (although there is a good bunch), and my wife points out two things: You NEED a SSN to get ANYTHING, which cuts out the illegals. All of the welfare queens and people that don't try are white. I know far to many white welfare queens and not really any Mexicans/Puerto Ricans gaming the system. I suppose everyone forwarding them e-mails also advocate kicking out the poor people I guess. Edit: Not to say that the system is perfect and illegals don't game the system, but holy hell, people take this poo poo out of proportion. To me, it's just thinly veiled racism, but I could be wrong.

All these emails seem to have the same writing style, that slightly awkward, frenetic, and oddly manic tone. "This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet." What kind of sentence is that? It almost has the flavor of a Nigerian e-mail scam.

It's probably because they originate from people who live in a secure underground bunker surrounded by emergency rations, colloidal silver and gold bullion. They are genuinely paranoid in the psychiatric sense of the word.

Forget the discrimination factor. How incapable of subtlety do you have to be to assume that "I have Muslims in my family, and have lived around Muslims" is definitive and obvious proof that the speaker is a practicing Muslim?

Received this, which is completely identical to this blog post: http://usconstitutionalfreepress.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/the-new-deal-as-revolution/ quote:Whittaker Chambers had a secret. He had worked in the American Communist underground for most of the 1930s. His break from that underground had been hazardous; he hid his family for quite some time before surfacing. When he did, his unique writing talent earned him a place at Time magazine, where he eventually rose to be one of its senior editors.

Never mind that almost every communist government ever has come about from a short, violent revolution instead of slow, creeping infiltration.

I finally get to contribute: Got to love the idea that "more and more people don't believe in a christian god... or even a god at all". Wow... more and more huh? 90% believe in some sort of god. the number has fluctuated by only a few percentage points over the course of the nations history...wow so this means by liberal thinking that all of america has turned agnostic... c'mon don't fudge the numbers and make it seem like a small percentage is bigger than it actually is. liberals do this with every single pole. if it changes even 1/2 % point then the whole country is going there way. seperation of church and state doesn't mean that when u become a president you stop worshiping god. the president is still a person not a gov't. he's the leader of the gov't but gov't is policies and laws...not people. what a stupid point.

When I asked why Obama is so like hitler, I got this little nugget back. "I appreciate you asking about it! Thank you! I can see where that would be confusing. That is normally what most people think - it's opposite but you have to look a bit around that. It's not just about the health care...it's about manipulation of a people and a centralization of power. When Hilter was younger, he was considered a brilliant, charismatic rising star with innovative ideas to improve Germany's strength as a nation. Correlation #1 - Mr Obama is younger, attractive and very charismatic and his speeches have made him become the "One" - his promises of hope and change inspired those that had lost hope. (Just like Hitler) #2 - Hitler targeted the youth as his primary audience - if he could "educate" them, he could control them under the guise of teaching them to be stronger for the future; however, the education, was indoctrination instead of true education. Mr. Obama has done the same, doing video conferences to the public schools all over the US; children being taught to sing his praises in their music classes; children being told that a picture of Obama is patriotic, but one of the American flag is offensive; targeting the impressionable youth of our country and telling them to good patriots. He has also put people in charge of education that wish to control/limit what is being taught (revisionist history). #3 – Hitler seized control of all the civilian arms corporations and put them under the control of his “Armament Minister’s”. Mr. Obama seized control of General Motors and fired their executives. Which is not allowed under the constitution. #4 – Hitler is an avowed Marxist. Several of his cabinet members and appointed “czars” are Marxists. Marxism is a philosophy of centralized control VERY similar to communism. The government is in complete control. Here’s an example – While Hitler had his “ministers”, Mr. Obama has his “czars”. The government body has recently been described as “overinflated” as a result of all these unconstitutional additions to the government. Another example, Mr. Obama promises more jobs….but there have been none. As a result, people are on unemployment. Mr. Obama continues to allow unemployment extensions – as long as he does so, people will continue to support him. The threat of having NO income is a great manipulation tool. #5 – This is where the healthcare comes into play a small amount. If you had the opportunity to read the healthcare bill, there was, in fact, a section dedicated to the determination of a person’s need for healthcare. There is no easy way to explain it here, but what it comes down to is that the bill would allow a panel of people to decide a person’s need for medical care and the cost effectiveness of maintaining their health. Based on the wording, it would seem that those that are less productive in our society will be the ones to suffer (ie:Autistic children, those with mental retardation, those with physical limits, etc). Hitler’s wish to exterminate those that were “imperfect” coincides. These are just a few of the examples….each in it’s own right is a long story and can be backed by documentation. It most certainly does not give me pleasure to be able to see these similarities. I too was hoping for a positive change. See, I’m one of those odd-ball individuals that is neither a Dem nor a Republican….both have their flaws, and I don’t feel someone should limit themselves to one generic opinion. I am a concerned American. If Mr. Obama would prove me wrong I would be ecstatic! In the meantime, I watch, I read and I prepare for the uncertain future. I hope this answered at least part of your question! I don’t mind answering them….wish more people would ask questions (on both sides) instead of yelling, arguing and insulting (I’ll admit I’ve done my share out of frustration); but to me, that seems so unproductive. " It made me laugh pretty hard for a while. Some people are so drat disillusioned. I have a rebuttal written up if anyone wants to read it, I'll post it.
