“Sarcastic” endorsements of slavery are always funny, right? It’s not like any conservatives have seriously suggested slavey wasn’t so bad.http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/10/05/republican-extremists-in-their-own-words#.UG8Wr-XNpyk.twitterhttp://www.forbes.com/sites/oshadavidson/2011/07/08/michele-bachmann-salutes-the-upside-to-slavery/http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/03/15/1729331/cpac-slavery-minority-outreach/We know Labe was sarcastic because he otherwise posts reasonable, well thought out comments. Do you need me to add #sarcasm? Sounds like you & he are soulmates.
“You get the Army to put triple strand razor wire on the border. You tell Mexico that the sending of people through their nation is an act of war and the US will take appropriate measures to stop it.”Case in point: Razor wire is easily cut. You need an Iron Curtain style police presence to guard the borders & shorelines. That’s not going to come cheap.Threatening Mexico with war would destroy our alliances around the world & cause immense harm to our economy.Yet, somehow we survived a much greater immigrant presence in the early 1900s. There were no quotas or bans, except on Asians. (As we know, Asians have failed miserably to make anything but trouble here. /SARCASM) Those immigrants didn’t learn English any faster than Latinos do today. They lived in ethnic conclaves, used their own languages & were viewed as a threat to America by many. What kind of nation would we have, if we had closed our borders to all the Germans, Irish, Italians, Greeks & others? How many of you would be posting here today if your ancestors met a barbed wire fence instead of a grudging welcome?There’s an old immigrant saying, “I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things: First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them.” In spite of the difficulties, few gave up and returned home.
“So now you’re the sarcasm police?”Yes, I’m the Chief of the Sarcasm Police.I’d give Molon a pass if he did anything more than hurl outlandish troll bait into the conversation.
