Your history.
— 15 October 2006; 8:05 am
May I just take a moment of your time to point out that:
Every white (and non-American Indian) person living in the United States today is a descendant of debatably illegal immigrants? And that, while we’re on the topic, the non-white immigrants to this country were nearly exclusively brought here in chains by whites?
So just exactly what god damn right does anyone have to say that any human being is illegal or that they are trespassers?
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
-Emma Lazarus

Massive props to Karina Garcia, Political Chair of the Chicano Caucus at Columbia University, where she is a senior, for taking on that racist, slimey, pig-fucker Jim Gilchrist (founder of the anti-Mexican Minuteman Project, a vigilante group which patrols the US-Mexican border, taking the law into its own shotgun-carrying hands).
Recently, he was at Columbia University, where his lap dogs kicked a student, who was passing in front of the stage, in the face. The resulting chaos, in which students waved banners and protested peacefully, was labeled by his hatemonger group (and, go figure, by FOXNews) as a “riot” by “thugs”! You can see a clip of this happening at the link below. Hopefully someone will post this to YouTube soon…
Check out the RealPlayer video of Gilchrist on the progressive syndicated program “Democracy Now!” (128k stream, 256k stream) where he abruptly cuts off a barely-begun debate as soon as he is asked a question. What a coward.

Joe Maguire lost his job at Reuters for writing a book about Ann Coulter. The book is called Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter.
Reuters confirmed that Mr. Maguire was granted conditional approval to write his book on Ms. Coulter… When asked what changed once the book was ready, a company statement pointed to Reuters’ principles of “integrity, independence and freedom from bias.â€
So what is all this talk about Liberal media? And before you point out that Mr. Maguire’s book may or may not be left of the dial, a book is one thing, but news is another thing entirely. By firing a guy for pointing out that Ann Coulter is - duh! - a mindless raving lunatic (and doing so in a perfectly legitimate venue), they are effectively supporting biased journalism of a far worse kind than that which could have ever conceivably come from Mr. Maguire himself.
And anyway, if pointing out that the Emperor* is wearing no clothes** makes you a traitor, then does that make unbiased journalists insurgents?
* 1 Coulter; or, 2 mainstream media in general
** 1 is a blathering idiot; or, 2 has no business presenting a blathering idiot’s foolish, inane lies as the truth

Iraqis Plan to Ring Baghdad With Trenches
So that’s what the future of democracy looks like! I can hear it now: “Thank you for bringing democracy to our formerly sovereign nation, Americans!”
No wonder the entire world hates the United States. No wonder at all.

Homeland Security Secretary (and Skeletor imposter*) Michael Chertoff, presumably issuing a sweeping indictment of all thought-criminals everywhere:
“Clearly, at the end of the day, we’ve got to eliminate that pool of people who are susceptible to becoming killers.” (Spoken at around 7:20 on the stream’s timeline; emphasis mine.)
Possible translation?:
Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get them up against the wall!
There’s one in the spotlight, he don’t look right to me! Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish! And that one’s a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There’s one smoking a joint, and another with spots!
If I had my way, I’d have all of you shot!
(Roger Waters, “In the Flesh”)
Pre-Crime, anyone?
* doesn’t he remind you of Senator Palpatine, just before he becomes the evil Emperor? I tell you, Michael Chertoff will likewise reveal himself to be Skeletor one dark day….

Here’s an idea: DIY impeachment!
If you don’t think there’s enough evidence to mandate an impeachment of George W. Bush, you might not have been aware of the facts. That’s okay. We don’t actually blame you.
