My Wife does volunteer work for an Elementary school in the a city in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. She is on site counsels and committees. She knows all the students, and in fact many if not most, know, and love her. The Principal and school officials are always calling her, and taking advantage of her social conscious and intelligence, and her excellence with children. I have a child who attends that school.
Today I receive a phone call from my wife. The cell is ringing, I think it's work related. A quick look at the incoming id, it’s my wife.
“You know what”, she says - she was going by the elementary school. A crowd of over 50 teenagers, on the school grounds where children will need to congregate, waving Mexican flags. I listen carefully to her words. She was on her way to an errand when she saw them on the campus. She tells me, how she knows the children of the school, and how these teenagers - she doesn’t recognize them. She tells me these teenagers, “don’t attend the school - at least, I don’t recognize any of them”. She would know.
My wife’s voice is not shaking. She is very strong, in so many ways.
And then I am told what she did.
She stopped the car, and went to them. She was just on the grass crossing. She told them, “Hey - who are you? What are you doing here?” - she did not tell me their reaction. I did not need to ask, because I know that they gave crap, and crap looks. She calls on the cell phone to the principal, but the principal was already on the way out to take in the scene. “Hey - if you guys want to become American citizens, then why are you waving American flags!” she says right at them so all can hear.
My wife is very brave. I thought in my mind, how much I respect and love her.
She was not mean, not rude. She is right on the money with her words.
I do not need to tell you everything that happened then. I will let you know, some didn’t even know what she said, I don’t think they understood the English. And some others, they spit out towards her. The spit missed.
I want you to know how proud I am of my wife.
Other school officials, I am surprised to say, probably because they respect her so much, are now telling these teenagers they do not belong here and must leave. My wife goes on to her errand, but the school told her they will follow up with her and let her know what the police did once they arrive.
I have something to say. It is what tens, hundreds, of thousands are saying. I say this is the fault of George Bush. I would not spit on him, but thinking of my wife, I certainly enjoying thinking of spitting on George “W’s” stupid face. Six years this idiot wasted our precious time on this critical and historic remaking of our nation, this threat. Those were six precious years. Wasted. All he ever could tell me about is his stupid guest workers program, and he's still forcing the great betrayal. I will always remember the Bushies - I think of them as my enemy now. I am not alone. The Republican Party has been damaged by these idiots. Now we will see if we can either take the party, or make new history. Certainly history is going to be made, but likely Bush is becoming such a lame duck it won't be the Bushies who are going to do it. Even if the illegals win, it won't be because of the Bushies who are part of pushing this Bush agenda, this corporate agenda - because, they are losing so much that they have little, no, respect among way too many now to effect anything. So all they can do is snipe and act as if Bush is even listening to them anyway, which he is not.
The Bushies say how dare any of us tell it like it is, that Bush sucks. But they can’t stop us, because there are too many on our side, and not on their side. Bush is losing power, each day he bumbles another mistake, politically tone deaf like the Bushies who follow him, another outrage, another idiocy. In fact, we don’t have to really do anything, Bush and the Bushies are all doing it to themselves. When someone says the truth about how Bush sucks, all they can do is snipe little insults, they image that they even count for something politically. They count for very little, and soon they will count for nothing. With each antic, my side wins, and becomes bigger. Just watch.
I am glad when I hear their reaction, not just because it is so expected, it helps my side so much.
A Marine (Ed E.) told me, “I am afraid that George W. sold out this country for votes in the Latino community. I feel badly that the USA will suffer because of this idiocy.” Another Marine friend of his told me, I ad lib because I don’t have his exact words down, ‘Bush's immigrant plan is a political cesspool (those words I do remember) . . . we are told no one (citizens) to do the millions of jobs so we have to have the 20 million illegals, the same policy makers are telling us we have 20 million poor in this country and unemployment … and, no jobs for our unemployed? This does not make sense.” Ed adds, “Americans are now competing with illegals for low paying jobs, which do not have to be low paying, and that worries me given the educational opportunities, our schools are becoming failures, where are those citizens (going to go) do?‘
Exactly, my Marine friend.
If the vote came down to it again, I wouldn't vote for Kerry on my life, but I am so dissapointed in President Bush on this issue.
Great post....bump
How nice for them.
"Sure, there is the expected water carriers for Bush - but actually, I didn't even hear ONE of them on the side of Bush regarding this."
I'm probably the closest thing to a "water carrier" for Bush there is. That said. He is way, dead wrong on this issue. He, as someone else mentioned, is bought and paid for on this issue, along with the majority of our elected officials.
Oh goody, Brian Baldwin Bush Bashing is back..
Jim,
Seems to me, this reminds me of a forward you wrote in a book a while back..
I'm proud of your wife too and think it was courageous and right what she did.
That said, I gotta tell you ... posting a vanity to tell everyone on FR how great your wife is still won't get you out of doing the dishes tonight.
You are a flaming, non-spelling, friggin' MoonBat.
Both sides are responsible for this mess. Worrying about offending illegals for a few votes. I myself would not spit on anyone, Kerry included!
It's a bait and switch article.. Look at Baldwin's history.. a lot of hit and run vanities like this.. all Bush Bashing over something..
Bush has done well on many things, but on this (and govt spending) he has seriously dropped the ball.
UPDATE - my wife just gave me an update, the police and school officials made the teenagers move off the campus. They are now over by some laundry mat on the corner, away from the school.
THANK YOU, MY WIFE!
My only hope is that the illegals take care of the "cosmopolitan" whites in California, before the real Americans step in to take care of the illegals.
A Marin County ravaged and destroyed by illegals isn't such a bad thing.
Didn't we just have an Alec Baldwin bashing thread the other day ?
Must me something about the name Baldwin....they make it so easy.
I'm up for some more Baldwin Bashing!
Thanks for proving my point.
