From Kim du Toit, comes this quote from John Howard, the Australian PM, or head honcho, Grand Poobah, whatever he’s called down there.
Replace Australian with American and Australia with United States and you realize NOT one of our current crop of liars and thieves in the government has half the balls Mr. Howard is carrying.
It certainly is a sad state of affairs when such common sense towards immigration no longer comes from a country that prides itself on having an abundance of it. I was taught and still firmly believe that America is a melting pot, where people can come and add their uniqueness to the stew. Sadly, that hasn’t been happening in the last 20 years or so. The melting pot has been replaced with a ‘multicultural quilt’, which is a bull shit way of saying you can come here, just don’t assimilate, don’t become truly American.
Off topic, I know, but while you were over at Kim’s place did you see his link to this: http://www.b3ta.com/links/beer_beer_beer
I did indeed! Shared it with my beer drinking Canadian coworkers.
