vcadd Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 There is an Anti-Immigration protest near where I live(Waco,TX) tomorrow.I was thinking about counter protesting. I have an idea for a sign.A re-write of parts of "The New Colossus". "Give us your ignorant,your racist,your sheepled lard-asses yearning to believe they are free". That's all I have so far.The last line about the golden door would be a prison door reference. 1 1

Tree Frog Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I live in a small town near Dallas and I saw them protesting on an overpass. I don't think they are racist for these protests, they just don't want people to come here illegally and then participate in social programs. I am totally for what they are protesting. As long as the state exists people, who do not go through the legal process of becoming a "citizen", will cause social and economic issues. It is sad but true. Watch Stefan on the Peter Schiff Show: Start at 30:34, he explains why illegal immigration is an issue and needs to be dealt with, in a statist society. Don't try an start something... You have nothing to gain. Firstly, they won't understand you. Secondly, they are some of the only friends we have (By that I mean belief in minimal government and capitalism). The best thing we can do to help the fight for freedom is to make allies. We didn't join FDR because Stefan mocked us and humiliated our ideas, he simply stated facts and asked questions. 2
vcadd Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Sorry Frog but these people are just flag waiving FOX Nation Republicans.I have not seen a single non white person in any of the pics.Their main message is just Anti-Obama ignorance.Even though He has deported more people than any other President.If these were white kids at the border they would open their homes to them immediately. I do harbor a special contempt for these types.They are my Peers, Educators,Employers,Friends and Family for 40 years of my life.If not for FDR, I would still be one of them.The reason I posted this here is to try and get a smarter,less redneck asshole version of the new "New Colossus".The concept of which, should be fairly obvious.
madog marcek Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 they are just sheep trading one prison for another. if it were not for U.S. intervention we would not have a imigration problem. regardless i can see what you are doing vcadd. if you get one person to think objectivly than you are doing good. i just ask other than holding sighns calling them sheep do you have any planns to talk to these people or do you just want to publicly ridacuel them? i understand it is tempting but in the long run it gets philosophy nowhere.
vcadd Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 I just wanted to ridicule them.So I didn't go.
StylesGrant Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Unfortunately shame does drive a further divide in the political body. And though what these people represent is patently dishonest and shameful in its own right, they need to be objectively criticized and shown hard evidence of convoluted policies of both parties. They could be shown how NAFTA and other issues have played into this as well. However, these people are generally like playing chess with pigeons.
vcadd Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Acknowledging that I was one of them and then condemning them as hopeless is pretty hypocritical on my part.I have been around here for a good while but definately have some work left.
