Oh sure, we run a large system of concentration camps full of political prisoners who are predominantly of one ethnicity (we call them "prisons" and claim that the predominantly-brown-colored people we put there as part of the "war on drugs" are there due to crime rather than because of a deliberate policy to illegalize consensual transactions between adults of, let us say, a certain skin tint), but we're nothing like Nazi Germany. Oh sure, we invade countries under false pretenses, but we're nothing like Nazi Germany. Oh sure, we arrest people for saying things that our Dear Leader and His minions don't like, but we're nothing like Nazi Germany.

I mean, c'mon. It's obvious. In Nazi Germany the people, like, spoke German. And here in America, the people, like, speak English (except for them nasty brown-skinned fellers, but we're workin' on that). So any moron can see that today's America is nothing like Nazi Germany!

Damn, better be careful not to get trampled by the swarm of attorneys looking to sue these dumbass city officials in Maryland.

But I guess I have to if I want to make myself understood here. I left the United States for good last year. I moved to Panama because it's a nice place and I learned Spanish when I was little -- but I'm white you see. So, how did I learn Spanish when I was little? Because I lived in a mixed neighborhood with immigrants whose kids I played with and that's how I learned. Down here in Panama, and this won't surprise you, there are American corporate executives who've lived here years and have not learned a single word of Spanish yet believe ENGLISH should be the official language of the United States and something MUST be done about the immigration problem.

It's all easy for me to say. I was only 2nd generation American, just another fucking stateless Jew of Russian extraction, fluent in Englisn and Spanish and shitty at Hebrew, Russian and Yiddish. But you folks are the real deal and I'm glad you're standing up.

I can't vote in a primary and I'm certainly not giving anyone any money. If I could vote in a primary there's no doubt I'd vote for KUCINICH. None.

I do need you folks to do me a favor though. Please look into Barack Obama's record and rhetoric and join me in telling the world what a Nazi HE is. Please? I'm a lonely voice in the wilderness on this because every Democrat and Liberal is too chickenshit to say it. But I know you folks aren't.; 9:54 AM

Weasel said...: I love my country.... I just hate the assholes in charge.

Get me off this fucking mudball, NOW.; 5:04 PM
KELSO'S NUTS said...: Weasel, I'm really happy for you that you love your country. I can't say I ever felt that way. I had a lot of pride in the fact that I was born in a country whose founding fathers happened to be 30 or so of the finest legal minds in the history of the human race.

I was happy to be a citizen of the USA. Desptie all the problems, I was happy to live there, vote, pay taxes, serve jury duty and be a productive member of society. I actually LIKE the Pledge of Allegiance. Until, until, until. MCCAIN, KYL, MUELLER, GOODLATTE, LEACH, ASHCROFT, GONZALES and a whole bunch more said in testimony before Congress that I was a TRAITOR and a TERRORIST-SYMPATHIZER simply because of how I earned my living -- sports betting. Traitor? Terrorist sympathizer? I'm fucking Jewish for fuck's sake.

That was enough for me. I didn't need to see the signs in neon. When I realized I had more in common in certain ways with Separatists and Off-The-Gridders who would hate me reflexively because of my ethnicity than I did with half the Democrats, it was good-bye and good-luck. I want to make my living and support my family legally.

Maybe it's just a Jewish thing. I don't know. I do know there's something terribly wrong in the USA and it's not going to be fixed anytime soon.; 2:44 AM
