Abortion causes illegal immigration?! LOLOLOL
Mo. Panel: Immigration, Abortion Linked

By DAVID A. LIEB
The Associated Press
Monday, November 13, 2006; 6:25 PM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A Republican-led legislative panel claims in a new report on illegal immigration that abortion is partly to blame because it is causing a shortage of American workers.

The report from the state House Special Committee on Immigration Reform also claims "liberal social welfare policies" have discouraged Americans from working and encouraged immigrants to cross the border illegally.

The statements about abortion, welfare policies and a recommendation to abolish income taxes in favor of sales taxes were inserted into the immigration report by the committee chairman, Rep. Ed Emery.

All six Democrats on the panel refused to sign the report. Some of them called the abortion assertion ridiculous and embarrassing.

2. This causes them to admit to a shortage of workers
Meaning the immigrants in question are illegal because the immigration laws don't match the needs of the nation. The immigrants aren't taking jobs from Americans under this scenario. Why have more babies to increase the population to fill these jobs rather than admit the immigrants to fill them? What's the difference?

16. Actually, the illegal immigrants are taking jobs
There's no such thing as a job Americans "won't do". Americans simply know about our laws (such as the minimum wage), and unscrupulous employers know they can get illegals to work for practically nothing. The EMPLOYERS are the ones causing both the immigration and the unemployment problems. We need to crack down on them to make sure they're paying fair wages, AND make sure they don't just hire illegals because they can get away with paying them squat.

Without so many jobs being available, you'd find the immigration problem wouldn't be nearly as severe as it is now.

Employers that won't pay decent wages, hire illegals, or ship our jobs overseas are the problem. Of course, the GOP has allowed all these problems to run rampant, because they only support corporate America, not working America.

24. This year alone, the United States has f@cked with
the democratic elections in three Latin American countries -- weighing in for the right wing @ssholes who want to bilk the treasury and to hell with the people. Oh -- but they're Bush friendlies!

You want fewer immigrants from Latin America? That needs to stop.

Last week we read in LBN that Bush has decided to start training paramilitaries again to deal with the "leftist" threat in Latin America. You want fewer immigrants here? That has to stop.

And so on. Trying to stop American businessmen from hiring the help they can afford won't solve this problem. This problem is created at the highest levels of the US government and always has been. NAFTA, CAFTA and stomping on emerging democracies in Latin America. It's not rocket science.

26. But my point was that the people making this particular argument
are saying that - withint their argument, it follows.

Wages have to go with the market, unless we have a socialist economy. Your view promotes outsourcing. The employer is naturally going to hire whoever will do any particular job for the least money, just as you would pay as little as you can for whatever you buy.

7. of course enacting each of the provisions of the Republican platform would solve every problem
because if the nuclear option had been passed, illegal immigration would have ceased immediately, because those illegal immigrants would find out in Mexico that the liberal activist judges who give them a lollipop and let them go free if they get caught crossing the border would be replaced by true American judges who would automatically send anyone with brown skin back to Mexico (they might say they're not from Mexico, but they can't fool us, we know it's all the same) for coughing on a true American, unlike those namby-pamby amnesty trotskyist judges that Reagan, Bush I and Clinton appointed.

who took the Onion article "I'm so pysched about this abortion" seriously and prayed for a fictious pregnant girl.

The comments section on the other hand, was funnier.

You tell 'em Pete!

Don't listen to these liberal pinko shmucks telling you that this is some sort of 'satire'. You've done a thorough and impressive job of debunking this Miss Weber bitch and those communist babykilling faggots know they don't have one single idea or argument that can stand up to your rigorous intellectual scrutiny. Their only hope now is to whine 'But we were only joking' like the crybabies they are and try to make you look like some sort of dumbass. Pay no attention! Real Americans can spot the truth a mile away, you mark my words.

These unChristian fucks pulled the same shit on us when we used an Onion article to expose Harry Potter for the Satanist cult it was. One minute we had a grassroots campaign bandwagon going, the next minute this 'satire' tag gets laid on it, and every punk-ass motherfucker on the internet starts laughing at us. It took us MONTHS to live that shit down.

Well I say enough! To hell with this liberal satire bullcrap. I'm armed, I'm a christian and I'm not afraid to defend my way of life with extreme prejudice! The next time one of you babykilling terrorist faggots wants to debase MY goddamn country and MY goddamn religion with this so-called "satire" shit, I'm going to grab the first motherfucking liberal abortionist I come across and ram my bible and a copy of the Bill of Rights up the bastard's ass. See how you'd like THAT, you satirical internet motherfuckers!

Blogging Without A Brain

It appears that the internet at large has discovered the first person without a brain to be writing a blog. Technically Pete has a brain, but it stopped growing when he was a fetus of only eight weeks, so medically and legally, he has no brain to speak of.

When asked to explain how he was able to achieve such a feat, Pete replied "Ramen. Ramen." His mother/sister explained that "Ramen" was the only word that Pete was able to speak, but that she always knew he would one day enter the blogosphere.

And so the dreams of brainless Pete and his mother/sister have come true as he spreads his ignorance through the blogosphere to try to find someone else that's as stupid as he is.

choice, I have decided to choose , on films and under stories I know, that
people for which his personal honour and decency is appreciated more than

appliances. I live one without parents, my parents were lost at a fire of 6
years back, my grandmothers and grandfathers communists, my relatives were
noblemen when Russia king corrected earlier, but there was it for a long

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Dear Friend.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Peter Lawson,a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late,due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God ! has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization and to the less priviledged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty four million dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged.

Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement.

I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.

You can e-mail me at:plawson@hknetmail.com

While I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family.

Remain blessed.

Mr.Peter Lawson

(Scarecrow)
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain

(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

(Scarecrow)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

14. wait, I thought that having more people than we already do is bad
but if it weren't for abortions, we would have millions more citizens.

So...

More people = bad, according to RWers.

But abortion is bad because, well, thanks to abortion, there aren't enough people to do things...

Hmm...


So what's the difference. Hmm...

Maybe its the ethnic makeup of the groups in question. Maybe the immigrants are just a little too, what's the word, Hispanic, for opponents of immigration.

Not that they are by any means racist, heavens no...

17. Please drop the race whining
Many Democrats are against illegal immigration, and it's not because we're racist.

There's nothing racist about wanting the laws of our nation enforced. Hispanics are only ONE group of illegal immigrants; there are illegals of all races.

Furthermore, it's not very fair (or Democratic) for people of all races from around the world have to enter this country legally, while one group wants special treatment, cutting in line ahead of the legal immigrants (again, of all races) who obeyed the law. Then, when people say, "You know, this isn't fair," the one group starts screaming racism to cloud the real issue: That they think they deserve better treatment than all those people who come here legally.

Well, they don't. The law applies to people of all races. Nowhere does immigration law read, "Hispanics exempt".

The real racism is thinking that one race deserves better treatment than all the other races who want to come here through the proper channels.

18. oh that is bullshit and you know it
"the real racism is thinking that one race deserves better treatment than all the other races who want to come here through the proper channels".

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Immigrants from many countries can not only come here through legal channels, but usually have the wealth and connections in order to do so. They come through the proper channels because they have the means and the opportunity to do so.

There really is not "proper channel" for many of the illegals, and pretending they have an equal opportunity to come here as someone from, say, Western Europe, is at best ignorant and at worse hypocritical and hateful.

15. What a load of crap!
Abortion and contraception are available in every country that's prosperous. The countries where people breed indiscriminately are the poorer ones. Case in point: Mexico has fewer abortions, more poverty, and hence more Mexicans come here to escape the poverty.

What the world needs to do is make abortion and contraception available in such countries, so that people will be able to afford to feed their (smaller) families.
