Even rank and file Republican Fundies break bi-lateral trade agreements
Okay, Jen has been my friend since before 9/11, so why did she break our deal? She is too young to remember anything about Nam and works in middle management for a big Chicago bank. Her dad is rich and she's always voted Republican like her dad. After bushie allowed (or helped) the terrorists hit the trade center we agreed to send no more political email to each other to save our friendship. Patriotism had gotten the best of her and I haven't let that happen to me since Nam.

her email this morning says:

MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO



David M. Bresnahan
April 1, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ! ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, p! passports,
immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.


2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.


3. All government forms need to be printed in English.


4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.


5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.


6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.


7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.


8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.


;9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.


10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.


12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.


13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.



I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

Sincerely,

David M. Bresnahan

She also writes; PS I'm sick of all this corruption and I'm voting like you in November.

your friend,
Jen

Jen is almost a Christian Fundamentalist, so I sent her the TEN COMMANDMENTS, where I tightly interpret THOU SHALT NOT KILL back. She loved them and claims she will forward the email to her friends. You can view these, as I posted them at DU, in my journal.

If Jen can vote democrat, then I can become more patriotic. Since many like my silly song re-writes, here's one for Uncle Sam: Please rise...

Oh beautiful, polluted skies,
Forever giving pain,
From bloody hills in Vietnam
To Iraq's forsaken plain!
America! America! God will turn his back on thee,
And crown thy hoods with foreign goods, from sea to shining sea.

Oh beautiful, for pilgrims' feet
stomped Natives in distress
A thoroughfare for slavery beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
and give the Senate self control and a government of law!

Oh beautiful, our heroes proved
that they could die in vain,
Who more than self their country loved
And all we'll win is pain!
America! America! Why do you export jobs?
'Til nobility, rules over us, just like a bunch of snobs!

Oh beautiful, our patriot's dream
Is now just a nightmare!
Thine alabaster cities drown
and congress doesn't care!
America! America! God sent Katrina right at thee,
Why do they give our ports away, from sea to shining sea?

Do you think I should send it to her? Naaa, if it ain't broken don't fix it!

By the way, I no longer want to impeach the presidential idiot. He's the best thing that's ever happened to the Democratic Party.

1. Is she 100% Native American?
If not, tell her her family already used up their "illegally immigrate into a country free" card.

2. I'm certainly not close to 100% but with a trickle of Creek in my veins..
I can relate! Still, I don't have to win every battle to win a war, so i agreed with her on illegal immigration. My Irish great-grandparents followed the rules... if following immigration laws was good enough for them, following current law is good enough for others.
