Well you better not be funny or relevant or else the guys on here will accuse you of sedition.

Heres a nice and sarcastic one you can try out on them though-

Knock Knock.

Who’s there?

Not a mexican.

How do I know you’re “not a mexican”?

Cause if I was I would have just jumped your fence, took your job, and nailed your old lady without knocking.

LOL.

Do you realize its already a crime to employ illegals? Hows that working out?

Border enforcement is a red herring, that gets a lot of people re-elected, and a lot of organizations a lot of tax money and legitimizes their insane policies. No surprise people eat it up.

PB, there is NO ENFORCEMENT about hiring illegals. Everyone turns a blind eye. People start using E-Verify and you will see a massive reduction in illegal alien workers. You implement E-Verify and punish employers by fining the shit out of them, then closing down their business should they continue to employ illegals, believe me they will stop quickly.

Border enforcement is worth every penny. For every person we prevent, it means less money we provide for their anchor babies, welfare, schooling, incarceration, etc. People say they come here to work, the problem is is that aren’t just working. They’re breeding, getting arrested, getting sick, and we are paying for all that comes with it.

PB, we pay $14 Billion for illegals per year in California, we have a $20 Billion deficit, you still want to have this argument with me?

Glenn Beck?[/quote]

A good observational comedian will take a real situation and exaggerate it, essentially lying to make people laugh. Tell me, what has Glenn Beck said that isn’t true? He’s told the truth about the questionable cast of characters that surround Obama, so that can’t be it. But please tell me if you know of something.[/quote]

I’ve been told he says stuff that was funny. And I’m fairly certain he’s not mocking Newt Gingrich for 90% of his show. Your definition of comedian is unnecessarily narrow. Be real.

PWI:

All of you are pinko-bastards. :slight_smile:

Gee Otep it kinda sounds like you have something against Glenn Beck. Care to talk about that, maybe get it off your chest?

But ask yourself why it’s not working out.

Why does North Korea NOT have a problem with illegal immigration? Or Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan? Because they throw your ass in prison if you enter illegally. How about we try that shit? Remember those 2 journalists, one was Lisa Ling’s sister, they were ready to put her ass in a prison labor camp for 12 yrs. You gotta love shit like that.

Yeah, that is why I do not emigrate to North Korea.

Because they might throw me into a prison.

Ah, I don’t know that Colbert is actually a puppet of the DNC. More like modern political satirist. He doesn’t seem to mind lampooning either party. Think Twain or Swift of contemporary media, minus the notoriety and prerequisite ability to read.

Depending on how you interpret it, he could very well have been sticking it to dems by showing how ineffective they have been at using the opportunity that they have had for some time now to actually do something that people are concerned with. Having him up there acting like a dick is like icing on the cake.

I like it. Like a big nose thumbing fuck you to a bunch of people who have wasted WAY more money than the cost of the time alloted for him to speak. Bickering about the govt. wasting 40k. makes about as much sense as arguing about the shade of blue that the sky is after it has already been agreed to that the sky is in fact blue.

Even Stewart hasn’t been exactly kind to dems lately. The few times I’ve watched, he has been (not scorchingly) critical of them as being as ineffective and self serving as any elected official could possibly be. It would be nice to see him just go completely apeshit, but he still seems to have a shred of hope that they might actually do something decent at some point.

Great post.[/quote]

No way, me and fightingirish share an opinion? Amazing.

Colbert just gave a giant F U to all of congress for dicking around so much.

Just wonder if Dennis Miller would be looked at the same if he addressed Congress saying the same shit.

Oh my god, you really are that retarded.

As the sarcasm of other responses obviously went several miles over your head. Illegal immigration is not a problem in those countries because they are not very nice places to live. If you really like the values of North Korea, why don’t you do all of us a favour and move there. I am sure they would appreciate your tolerant views there.

So this is different than when the Republican party called Elmo from Sesame Street to testify because…[/quote]

…because…this is a very serious issue and nothing to joke about. Why is that so hard to understand? The integrity of our borders, border patrol executions, the occupation of American territory by rogue drug gangs who are as well-equipped as any crack army, the trafficing of underage prostitutes (complete with that repulsive thing called “tree rapes”), the near slavery conditions of these migrant workers, the very numerous instances of illegals committing mulitiple violent crimes, the unemployment rate of law-abiding Americans, the mockery of law-abiding legal workers.

None of this^^ strikes me as funny in the least. How 'bout you Cock?

Anyone who thinks otherwise should try look a mother, father, or child or wife or husband affected by all this and tell them how funny this whole thing is.

Colbert - not to mention his enablers - is a fucking idiot of the highest order.

And finally, what is absolutely outrageous is the way that the entire freaking circus took reporters, air time, brain cells, etc. away from the real issue and the real reason for the mockery: to distract away from the Christopher Coates testimony.

Colbert feels strongly about the issue having spent time with the guys working on the farms (the bits you see on the program are not all of the time he spent talking with them) he used his persona to get the discussion going more and at the same time pointed out how much time Congress wastes on crap.

Seriously, look at a list of the things that congress spent time on during the last month and you will see that Colbert’s performance was a very long way from being the biggest waste of time.

The US federal Government should be bailing out states for these costs. Since the US government has failed to act, and since the citizens have failed to force them to act, it’s time the rest of the country starts shouldering the burden. I don’t pay taxes to subsidize some illegal’s ability to undercut our own citizens. Nor, do I do so to subsidize greedy employers who know the taxpayer is actually footing part of the bill for their cheap foreign labor. Probably the same bastards who piss and moan about paying taxes to support unemployed americans.

Hell, let’s use eminent domain and build public housing for these ‘undocumented’ workers right in their cosmopolitan gated fricken communities. Spread the love, folks.

I agree Sloth,

If the Feds will not secure the border (by their own choice), if they sue states who try to do it themselves claiming it’s a Federal Issue, then they need to reimburse states for ALL costs associated with illegal immigration. That means incarceration, welfare, schooling, and health care. If the Feds choose not to comply, then fuck them and let states handle it themselves.

An interesting story here, an illegal alien who had been deported twice already, stabbed and set fire to a pregnant woman. Imagine being set on fire after being stabbed over 20 times yet still alive. Her fiance tried to detain him but he got away, there is now a manhunt for this prick. The pregnant woman died of course. Yay Obama, yay open border people, si se puede.

I wonder if the feds will pursue CA’s prop 19 with the immediate fervor it did with AZ’s law which is very much the same technically speaking. CA can’t regulate POT…that’s the fed’s job.

I don’t know if you noticed, but our constitution doesn’t mean a damn thing anymore. Nothing.
