Yeah, right. Put those planks in the platform or they’re gonna vote for the other guy? Give it up, guys, nobody’s buying.

Reparations should be a boat ticket back to Mother Africa.

And thus the Monroe Doctrine, from a much maligned president.

The US taxpayers have poured $16 TRILLION from their hard-earned paychecks into the bottomless pit of the federal government since LBJ initiated the disastrous “War on Poverty” 50 years ago. The money is gone, and we have more “poor” than ever, thanks to the government’s lack of requirements in order to get the welfare checks. The only thing necessary is to keep voting for Democrats so the checks keep coming. Look at our dysfunctional, crime-ridden cities, run by Democrats, to see the abject failure this has been.

I think repatriation is in order. I’ll give up some money for this.

Sure, you can have reparations if you can spell it.

Uh, uh, axe me another word.

Nope, sorry, no reparations for you.

My demands are much more financial. I want reimbursed for the transportation cost incurred. And back rent as well as cost of food and clothing.

Hundreds of thousands of dead Union soldiers paid for your freedom. Worship at that alter and be thankful to them. Oh, get a job, too.

Oh, come on. Step it up a little and have all the GMO groceries from “hole”foods delivered to your house. ‘Specially some of the yummy “Envirokids cereal”. No peanut or other nut products allowed. You never know who might have an allergy. :)
