A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America!"
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees, he stops, shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America!"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East, I am not American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa!"
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says..."Probably at work."
Ain’t it the truth. And it’s true in the Washington, D.C. metro area, too.
Accurate
My brother said that when he visited the Minnesota State Fair last
year, he was stunned to see “skinnies” (Somali Muslims) all over
the Twin Cities area.
OUCH!
The Moral of the Story
OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.
Current application of the 'Moral of the Story': Virginia is now stuck with Jim Webb for the next six years.
That’s so true. I’ve had several legal immigrants from Europe tell me we work too hard.
thanks, I’ve seen it before but I went ahead and forwarded it again!
Two Somali’s arrive in Australia.
They maka a bet that they will get together in a year, and whoever has turned into the better Australian wins a $100. A year later they meet.
The first Saomali says “ I’ve changed my name to Trevor, my son plays Australian rules football, and now I’m going to take my Range Rover down to the Pub and have a rack of lamb and wash it down with a Foster’s.”
“How about you?”, he asks the second Somali.
The second Somali replies “F*ck you R*ghead”.
That is true now, since politicians have decided and we have allowed it to happen to offer dual citizenship in the USA.
We do not demand an oath of alliegance and fidelity to our country any more, prior to the 1960s any one of those persons would have said, “How can I help you?”
So true...so sickening. Screw the dual citizenship crap, all it does is allow you to have political influence in a country you weren’t born and raised in and make for MORE people for the government of that country to worry about than they would ordinarily ever have to. And to all the immigrants in Minneapolis, either get a job or get the hell out! Stop ruining America’s hockey town by bumming around on welfare and expecting the government to take care of you and then voting the wrong way. Minnesota’s a beautiful state, dammit! Stop ruining it! Heck, stop ruining the country!
While I laughed at some of the jokes in this thread, there is really nothing funny about the deliberate placement of incongruous but subsidized third world peoples all over the United States. If you look at where the ideas for this sort of experiment arose, and scratch the surface of the "true believers," who actually contend that this sort of thing is beneficial, you will find those who would deny the very continuity of the Nation as a concept.
The idea of an interchangeable humanity is very useful to those who would subvert all of the peoples of the earth into some form of World Government. If this continues, we will lose our identity in our own land, and there will be no sense of what an American really is, to rally resistance against a bleak future in a gigantic international ant hill.
We are being steered by those who have long advocated surrender by subterfuge, to self-destruct; and when patriots protest and try to fight back, they are vilified by name callers, who enjoy the protection of most of the mass media, most of academia, and most of those holding office in our Federal Government.
And yet, I think we are finally starting to put a little fear in the latter.

LOL!

I flew into the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport from Sacramento and thought I was in Somalia.
“I flew into the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport from Sacramento and thought I was in Somalia.”
Airports are lousy with Muslims (Somali and otherwise).
Nice set-up if you want to quiety move Jihadi foot-soldiers and/or
materiale across the country without anyone really noticing.
Covered nicely in the book linked below (at least from what I heard
in a radio interview with Paul Sperry):
Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington

Recently, when Senator Diane Feinstein said that she received 8000 phone calls against the amnesty bill, and said she would have noticed if she had received 30000, and then, she received that many and went on to say that they were the most vile and racist calls she’d even heard— it proves they’re just locking elbows and moving forward. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. A total disconnect between the people and the elected. Someone very powerful must have some very damning photographs or some such. Right now, I wouldn’t trust a congressman to walk my dog.
If this guy just arrived, maybe all these folks have just arrived as well, hence the reason they don’t yet have jobs or citizenship. Funny he didn’t run into any young mothers on their way to the store to buy food for their families.
I know, I know. That’s not the joke. We’re supposed to laugh because it’s so true! Immigrants are just unemployed leeches on society!!!11
Ironic thing... the last I saw this travel-worn email it was sent to me by my unemployed uncle, who wouldn’t be on welfare if he didn’t waste all his money on get-rich schemes. Talk about contributing!
For a little ideological bug spray, Immigration & The American Future.
thanks gopher for the best laugh I’ve had all week. Had a prof. once who said if we didn’t laugh about all this, we’d cry. boy was he right.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
