Immigrant kids bring out the phobias in conservative xenophobes

excerpted

Anyone who has ever wondered what happened to that strange-looking, banjo-playing kid from “Deliverance” should check out Rep. Louie Gohmert. Imagine that kid all grown up and you’ll have the spitting image of the Texas Republican.

Like banjo boy, Gohmert is weirdly mesmerizing. What swamp did he wander out of and how in the world did he get elected to the United States House of Representatives? The scary answer: There are thousands of people just like him in Texas's 1st Congressional District.

It is time, he says, to “use whatever means,” including troops and ships of war, to stop an invasion that he compares to the D-day invasion of Normandy. The invaders? All those children who made their way from Central America, stepped across the border and put themselves in the hands of federal authorities.

They think they live in country where the president is a terrorist-coddling, Kenya-born socialist who wants to take their guns, close their churches, turn their kids into pagan homosexuals and open the borders to a horde of brown-skinned marauders who will all become loyal Democratic Party voters.

If things are really that bad, maybe it’s time for them to follow Mitt Romney’s advice and self-deport.

If the Democrats thought these future citizens would vote for Conservatives, the border would slam shut before I could put a period at the end of this sentence.

Obama comes out of the shower into the WH bedroom.

Michele is furiouso, "Get the hell out of here."

"But Michele," Obama pleaded. "I'm naked and afraid, and I need Executive Action."

Michele points to her private parts and tells Obama, "The southern border is closed, amigo."

They are not immigrants. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. We can not be a Nation of laws if we refuse to follow our laws.

The Slimes caters to a small elite Hollywood crowd of vermin who need their leftwing red meat on a daily basis. This group is one of the few who still subscribe to the rag.

Yes, the Leftist will not ever actually debate any issue, if instead of discussing what is actually relevant, he feels he can divert attention by attacking not the argument but the motives of those who challenge what he advocates.

The patriot who defends our heritage, the interests of our rooted population & the basic rights achieved in the Revolution and recognized in the Constitution, is not motivated by hatred of others, but by grateful appreciation of what the Forefathers achieved for their posterity. It is those who hate that achievement, who are always seeking in one way or another, to undermine that heritage.

Of course, they have no convincing argument, for why we should commit suicide as a people, so they can only sell that eventuality through the tactics of deception. Unfortunately, stigmatizing our motives has worked for them, far too often.

Or better yet, see what happens if we start letting in masses of whites from South Africa and Zimbabwe, let’s see how “Welcoming” they’ll be.

What an ignorant, uninformed hack.

Year-to-date for fiscal year 2014, the number of Other-than-Mexican (OTM) apprehensions is 201,952. The number of OTM unaccompanied children (UAC) apprehensions is 43,933.

21% are OTM-UAC. 79% are NOT children.

Idiot.

It’s not as if that wasn’t true...
Wanting to protect your family and loved ones and everything
that you hold dear is not xenophobic.

David Horsey sounds like the sort who would just love to put up a half-dozen long-lost cousins with him indefinitely.

Hey, David! These kids say they need a place to stay. I told them you're loving giver and a kind, caring sharer who wouldn't mind letting them hang with you for a while!

Personally I don’t give a damn if I’m called a racist or a xenophobe, and I suspect a lot of fed-up people who formerly DID care are about to join me.

... banjo-playing kid from “Deliverance” should check out Rep. Louie Gohmert.

The scariest thing for this author is Louie Gohmert is NOT the banjo playing kid. Alithinophobic. Irrational fear of truth.

If only these columnists were one tenth as smart as Gohmert and his constituents, maybe they would come to realize that we really are being invaded.
