(2,711 posts)but nevertheless, I don't think one of two permitted political parties in the US should be using KKK slogans as their campaign slogans.

I SOOOOO wanted to call in and say that she didn't sound like a "native american", sounds like her family came over here from Europe ... maybe she should have stayed home, too ...

(53,661 posts)The problem is, no one 'took' our country. We are not the subject of an invasion. Most likely this is a rehash of the Aztlan hysteria, but America as we've known it for over two centuries is the result of mass migration.
The baggers refuse to admit their own masters invited these people here. Not only the Moo-slims they fear so much, who were brought here because America was not minding its own business and going to play in foreign lands, but the favorite whipping post of the GOP, KKK, etc., Latinos.
I've seen the ads where employers have gone to the small towns in Mexico to hire workers. They pay people to go and meet them. They are invited to come here. Just like companies that go abroad to hire foreign workers and lobby for the visas to get them.
The very same people who these blustering fools believe are in their corner, are putting the knife in their backs. Not the emigrants. But they don't have the courage to speak back to their masters, so they abuse the other help, the immigrants. They are cowards.
Who is 'we' and 'who' are we taking the country back? Who is to say what is the American in the America that capitalism and big business sold down the river?
No one took anything but the Romney types of America who outsourced jobs. Yet they buy into his flagrant lie that he going to save an America that he worked all his life to destroy.
Half of the addled brainwashed patriots fart about overturning the government by using quotes from the Founding Fathers. There was a country that they rebelled against, England.
It was a foreign country, not the USA. But their brains hopscotch and say they need to overthrow the government now. Excuse me, but this is the government that came from the Founding Fathers. That was the last revolution that was legitimate in this country.
And they wouldn't have a plan what to do anyway, except hand the government over to the fascists that are filling their heads full of lies about everything. JMHO.
