Patti Davis: America is Rude to Immigrants

[BrerRabbit]

May 3, 2006 - I don’t know a single person who isn’t acutely aware of the fact that we’ve become a very rude country. It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we’re shocked.

< snip >

I understand we have a problem with imigration, but it seems very un-American to suggest that 11 million people who have lived and worked here for years and years should be forced to leave. Particularly since they might be some of the most patriotic among us.

[BrerRabbit]

Poor Patti. Just as nutty as little Ron.

[avacado]

At least MSNBC is starting to report hard news! /sarc

[sarasmom]

Obviously MSNBC is not a drug free work place....

[BrerRabbit]

Sorry about the thread title. I meant "for" intead of "to."

[Darkwolf377]

Yo Patti, shut up.

Who the heck died and appointed her nag in chief?

[Shimmer128]

or perhaps they are the ones that are the least patriotic among us. Or perhaps they are the most evil among us. Or perhaps they are all pedophiles, each and every one. Or perhaps....

I could go on, but each statement makes as much sense and there is just as much proof as her statement: "Particularly since they might be some of the most patriotic among us"

What a loon she is.

She's been spending too much time at DU, I see.

[Chode]

and you were a mere RUDE GIRL to one of the Greatest Men in History...

[Darkwolf377]

Particularly since they might be some of the most patriotic among us.

Yes, they're so patriotic they don't become citizens.

This is your brain on drugs, Patti.

[rlmorel]

Patty...

Step away from the mirror...

Remove the spoon from your nose...

[RichInOC]

How would she know?

[OldFriend]

One thing Patti knows is rude, dumb, and thoughtless. She's the epitome of all three.

[Fruitbat]

Can't speak to that. But I can point out dozens of instances where non-English speaking Mexicans, in my own country, were rude to me and/or my family or friends!

Whether or not they were illegal I don't know although I can wager a good guess for some of them.

[Chena]

Some folks just can't get their minds around the word, "ILLEGAL" immigrants. There's a brain-block there and it's thicker than molasses in January.

[Tanniker Smith]

Yes, I do encounter rudeness twice a day.

However, I deal with several hundred on any given day, some one or two samplings of rudeness are bound to occur.

TS
(yes, I am a Dean in a public high school, why do you ask?)

[Lunatic Fringe]

NEW FLASH: Americans are rude to everyone.

Isn't equality great?

[clintonh8r]

I have to agree with her that America has become a rude country, but I don't see what it has to do with immigrants.

On a completely different subject, I did immensely enjoy Patti's nude layout in Playboy a few years ago...thank you, Patti!

[sageb1]

America didn't used to be rude. I wonder what happened? (sarc)

[joesnuffy]

And she knows rude

[Chena]

I'm ROFLMAO!!! I just mentioned molasses and then as I was backing up a page, I noticed what your screenname was. I wonder if I saw your name in my subconscious and it jogged my memory. BTW, Brer Rabbit molasses is deeeelicioussss. :)

In an equally shallow level of thought:

Das Outsider: Immigrants are Rude to America

[buckeyesrule]

****It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we’re shocked.****

I would agree with that statement (especially if you drive in Atlanta). However, that has absolutely nothing to do with immigration.

[Fruitbat]

I'll also never forget the real nice treatment we got on spring break on a bus trip to Mazatlan about 15 years ago. At ~ 2 or 3 a.m., our bus was pulled over way out in the middle of the desert with not a light or anything in sight, probably a hundred miles from anything.

We were pulled over by armed men in uniforms, but non-uniform uniforms making me wonder who the hell they were. They lined us up alongside the bus and made like they were going to shoot us all. We were pretty scared although none of us said a thing, primarily because no one on the bus except for the drivers spoke Spanish.

Then all of a sudden they disappeared as quickly as they pulled us over and w/o saying a damned thing.

I've never been back and don't even care to. I also don't want those people in my country unless they come here legally!

Regardless, the next time someone tells me how "good" they are, my response is "no sale!" Their entire nation is a sh&%hole an they made it that way, not us.

[oolatec]

I guess in her eyes, murderers who have been killing for years and years without getting caught should be allowed to continue to do so... and while we are at it, make murder legal!

[george76]

Any Patti pictures from the layout ?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Hey, Patti, sorry your glamour modeling gig didn't work out, but, trust me, you're too stupid to become a political commentator.

[bannie]

Well, thank you, Patti...you little moral compass.


snicker....

[Arizona Carolyn]

Years and years? How many of the 11million (I think the number is double that) have come here since 2001 when the President started talking Amnesty prior to 911? That doesn't qualify as years and years in my mind.

[SunnyD1182]

I don’t know a single person who isn’t acutely aware of the fact that we’ve become a very rude country. It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we’re shocked.

She surrounds herself with liberals....and she's surprised about seeing rudeness around her?

[silverleaf]

Patti has spent her life being rude to her parents and now, to everyone else, apparently.

But I'm sure after Patti wrote this article about rudeness, she felt much better and "at peace" when she highly praised the pool boy, the gardener, and the maid for mixing up a most excellent batch of margaritas to wash down that valium...

[george76]

[Das Outsider]

Yes, I do encounter rudeness twice a day.

Isn't Chris Matthews on MSNBC? I could stock up a week's worth of rudeness from just one episode of Hardball.

[derllak]

You've GOT to be kidding...ewwww!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I don’t know a single person who isn’t acutely aware of the fact that we’ve become a very rude country. It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we’re shocked.

Thank you i take that as a compliment i eride myself on being non-PC now shut up and sit down !

And by the way if you people weren't so damn tight assed and smug and offended at the bat of an eyelash ......oh nevermind .

[CindyDawg]

Americans rude? Shrug. So. Who cares. Whatever. Rolling eyes.

[builder]

If you can't say something good about somebody,don't say anything at all ..........[I won't say anything , I wouldn't want to be considered rude]

[meyer]

"Patti Davis: America is Rude to Immigrants"

Apparently not rude enough - the Illegal ones are still here.

[This Just In]

"It's gotten to the point that if we don't encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we're shocked"

Patti's comments were my first for the day, and I'm reeling.

Apparently, Patti hasn't visited France.

[darkwing104]

Dear Patti,
Would that be Illegal or Legal Immigrants?
If you don't like it, well, then move to France...

[usmcobra]

Patti,I promise not to be rude to ILLEGAL immigrants, when they are being deported I will wave Goodbye and wish them luck when they return home to their countries of origin. I'll will even write to tell them how much nicer things have become now that they are gone

[llevrok]

Jane Fonda wanna be

[Texas_Jarhead]

"Particularly since they might be some of the most patriotic among us."

Me thinks she might be on the pot.

[highlander_UW]

I don’t know a single person who isn’t acutely aware of the fact that we’ve become a very rude country. It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t encounter rudeness at least twice a day, we’re shocked.

Actually, I agree with her...I encounter at least 2 instances of rudeness by liberals each day.

[Das Outsider]

Americans rude?



Sucre bleu!

[Rick Deckard]

"Yet on May 1, thousands of immigrants across the country marched and waved flags and professed their love for America. Doesn’t anyone see the irony in this?"

You could have fooled me...

[msnimje]

And Pattie is rude to her own parents. Me thinks she needs to tend to her own short comings.

[NavVet]

Well, if I'm already a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe for actually suggesting that U.S. immigration laws should be enforced, then I guess it can't hurt to throw "rude" in to the mix.

I wonder if the families of all those murdered by illegal aliens in the last ten years would think they're all so polite. I wonder if those waving mexican flags and advocating the "reconquest" of the American Southwest are among the "most patriotic" among us.

Oh and Pattie, I mow and water my own lawn, you should try it some time.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I wouldn't even legitimize them by calling them immigrants. Illegal aliens.

[jdm]

See where it says Playboy Interviews the Superman of Software (Bill Gates) (bottom right corner)?"

That issue is July 1994. Take a look at MSFT stock back in 1994. Hard to believe the opportunites / potential for MSFT, even as late as 1994.
