I received an interesting e-mail and want to share it with y'all

[tt11758]

The following arrived in my e-mail this morning.  It's attributed to Charlie Daniels, but who knows for sure these days?  Anyway, I don't care WHO wrote it, I like it, agree with it, and am passing it on:

I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America , as it is a truly wonderful place.   

But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans!  I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again? And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you won't enforce the ones on the books now? 

And what ever happened to the polls, guys?  I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters.  Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday. 

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy.  Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets? 

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit.  But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected. Shame on you.  One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you 

Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. 
And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality. 

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."

And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?"  I'll tell you what's wrong with it.  These people could be from Mars as far as we know.  We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to. 

Does this make sense?  Labor force you say?  We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well?  If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan?  I think not. 

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. 
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did.  They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop. 

I want to make two predictions. 

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre. 

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.   


I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad  and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."  I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?    And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes  Please get that other one out of my face. 

God Bless America

 MY COUNTRY
  IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY,
SPEAK UP!
I am not against immigration -
just come through like everyone else
Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head;
have a job; pay your taxes;
live by the rules;
  and
LEARN THE LANGUAGE
as all other immigrants have in the past
and
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM

Think about this:
If you don't want to forward this
for fear of offending someone,
YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

Will we still be the Country of choice
and still be America if we continue
to make the changes forced on us by
people from other countries who came
  to live in America because it is the
Country of Choice?

Think about it!

All we have to say is, when will
Someone do something about
MY RIGHTS?   
We've gone so far the other way,
bent over backwards to not
offend anyone, that I am now
  being offended.
But it seems no one has a problem
with that.
 
"In God We Trust"
is our national motto. This is not
some Christian, right wing, political slogan.
We adopted this motto because Christian men
  and women - on Christian principles - founded
  this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls
 of our schools.   
It is Time for America to Speak up
If you agree - pass this along;
if you don't agree - delete it!
 
 

To whomever wrote this, God Bless You!!

Law

What is a law? And I will not go to Mr. Webster for the definition, but to my mental dictionary of cowboy logic.

A law is a code of conduct which is set by whatever legislative entity holds power. A standard to which all citizens must conform, whether they agree with it or not. You may think it's safe to drive 65mph in a 55mph speed zone but if you're caught doing it you're going to get a ticket.

You may think it's fine to have ten large mouth bass in your live well when the limit is five. But if the game warden finds you over the limit you're going to pay for it.

Laws are made for the protection of a nation's or a community's protection and without laws there's no peace, no safety and no civilization.
Just because you don't agree with a law doesn't mean you can break it with impunity and if enough people decide to do it, the only thing left to society is anarchy.

The new law giving police the authority to determine someone's citizenship after having stopped them for a violation, or perceived violation of the law, is not racist, not discriminatory and not meant to single out anyone, it is only to determine their American citizenship.

That responsibility actually belongs to the federal government but due to the lack of common sense and guts in Washington it has fallen to the state government to protect the people of the state of Arizona.

With a significant population ratio of Latino citizens in the state of Arizona I do not believe the legislators voted it into being or the governor signed it into law without much consternation. The political pressure must have been trememdous.

But unlike the federal government the state government did not shirk their duty to protect their citizens and took the bull by the horns.

This law is not a thoughtlessly passed piece of legislation but was provoked by lawlessness including kidnapping, drug trafficking and cold blooded murder.

If you think you're getting the whole story of what's going in Arizona from the media you are sadly mistaken. There is all but total anarchy with ordinary citizens being killed and beaten by violent gangs who transport their drugs across the privately owned land of ranchers whose families have been ranching on the border since the 1800's.

The rancher who was recently murdered was not a random choice but was lured to his death by a drug gang that he had defied and a family in that area was beaten in their own house for the same reason.

Arizona doesn't have time for the spineless, out of touch bunch of milksops in Washington to pass some totally meaningless and toothless piece of politically correct legislation.

They needed action now and they took it.

More power to you Arizona!

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God bless America
