History may not repeat itself...
but it certainly does rhyme.
Today’s “Know Nothings” are Kennedy, McCain, most of their Senate
colleagues, and a fair sector of the GOP.
Because they seem to “Know Nothing” when it comes to exercising
some common sense in dealing with illegal immigrants.
And they hope that the majority of legal residents of the USA will
“know nothing” about how they are engineering a MUCH WORSE version
of Simpson-Mazzoli. And the order-of-magnitudes bigger mess they are
just about to enshrine in legislation.
Speaking as a drunken, papist, mick, has anybody noticed that unlike the emrald isle, Mexico shares a contiguous border with the United States?
Further, unlike the Emrald Isle, there has been past conflict between the US and Mexico which resulted in positioning borders where they are now?
Also speaking as papist, gorilla-like paddy, has anyone noticed that the Mexicans in their “Su Casa es Mi Casa” demonstrations were talking about taking back territory? Not something you saw with turn of the century immigrants.
Call me an arrogant Mick, but Mexico as a country displays nothing but contemptible backwardness driven by elitism and corruption. It is nothing but “no-nothingness” that leads me to reject that? Chinga-te. Do you not think that the poor peasants that flock here will bring that system with them just as we glorious Irish brought a talent for politics?
Ahhh for a wee bit o’ history let us also contemplate the disdain that the elite of England felt for the common Irish which is mirrored by our political elite’s contempt for us commoners. ‘Tis the march of socialism that must be furthered, you angry white Americans are in the way of our unimpeded march’.
With an uninterrupted 70 year record of failure for socialism, who is the real know-nothing?
