Prepare To Be Annoyed -10-07-03

Prepare To Be Annoyed Every day I watch the news and just sit there shaking my head in disbelief, frustration, and disgust. There's one question I ask myself daily:

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???????

Where I Lie on the Political Compass - Part 3

Where I Lie On the Political Compass - Part 1 covered my opinions on issues such as taxes, welfare, public education/vouchers, and women's rights/women's liberation. If you missed Part 1 of this article, you may read it by clicking here. Part 2 covers my views on abortion, child discipline, affirmative action, and gay rights. If you missed Part 2, you may read it by clicking here. Part 3 covers immigration/U.S. borders, foreign aid, the death penalty, and criminal punishment vs. rehabilitation.

Immigration/US Borders- Close the fucking borders! I have to crack up every time I’m watching a news talk show when they are discussing our border policy with Mexico. Every single time the democrat participating in the debate always says “The illegal immigrants from Mexico are valuable to us. They help our economy. They mow our lawns, they work in our restaurants, they provide valuable labor for lower wages.”

Okay, where do I even begin with this reasoning. First off, they are committing a crime by crossing the borders illegally, people! So first things first, according to the democrats we’re supposed to just look the other way and ignore the fact that these people have NO respect for our laws what-so-ever. Then the democrats go on to say that because of the terrible economy and living conditions in Mexico, these Mexicans are forced to illegally cross our borders. Forced? No, no. Forced they are not. They choose to break our law and cross our borders. And what do we do? Reward their illegal activity by allowing them to take jobs away from our legitimate American citizens because we can pay them lower wages than we could Americans. This is just my first issue with the borders.

What about national security? Have we learned NOTHING from September 11th? Yeah, why don’t we just open ourselves up completely. In fact, why even have borders? Shit, let’s just have a free for all! Let’s see how many assholes we can possibly fit into this country…that’ll make things much better. I don’t know about you, but every day I am driving down a highway or even a local street and am sitting in a ridiculous amount of traffic, the first thing I realize is exactly how over populated this country already is. Notice when you’re in your car driving to or from work, and really look around you. Then remember back 5 years ago, 10 years ago, as far as you can remember back, and think about how much more crowded we are everywhere we go. But hey, so what if it takes us 45 minutes to get to a place that it took us 10 minutes to get to 5 years ago. Why not open the borders, invite the whole world in, so in 5 more years it’ll take an hour and a half to get to that same place. Now obviously traffic isn’t my concern, here. I’m just using that as an example of gauging how overpopulated we already are and are continuing to get. And amid all this overpopulation, don’t you think it might be a just a tad difficult to keep tabs on suspected terrorists and international criminals that wish to create chaos among us? I’m all for legal immigration, but if immigrants can’t respect our laws before they even get here, then why should we reward them by choosing to look the other way? Reward the immigrants that have enough respect for our laws and take the legal route. Everyone else can fuck off.

Foreign aid- Foreign aid needs to come to a screeching halt immediately. We have our own people to worry about, first and foremost. But besides that even, we give foreign aid to all these countries and what do we get in return? A big slap in the face. No one supports us or backs us up in international affairs (except Britain, one of the only nations left with enough balls to have our backs, thanks to Tony Blair.) Yet everyone sure hold out an open hand when they need a little financial assistance. In my opinion, you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you. You want to be backstabbing assholes? Good. The Bank of America is henceforth CLOSED. Next window, please.

Death Penalty- I support the death penalty for first degree and torturous murder charges. The only thing I disagree with is the method of execution. I say kill them exactly the way they killed their victims and let them see what it’s like.

Criminal punishment vs. rehabilitation- Rehab, shmeehab. You knew the consequences of your actions when you committed the crime. You made the conscious choice to go through with the crime despite of the consequences, so suck it up and pay the price, asshole.

I still have many more issues to cover in several following articles, but they will not be posted in chronilogical order immediately following parts 1, 2 and 3. There is just way too many current topics I want to write about, so I'll finish the political compass article when I finish it.
