    The best analogy ever

    I'm sure this has been listed here previously, but I recommend all of us and everyone we know send this to our elected officials to show how STUPID!! they are with regard to illegal immigration. I have even sent this to George Walker Busche (666) in hopes he might find someone to read it to him.

    Let's say I break into your house

    A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials
    in ages!!! It explains things better than all
    the baloney you hear on TV.

    Her point:

    Recently large demonstrations have taken place
    across the country protesting the fact that Congress
    is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

    Certain people are angry that
    the US might protect its own
    borders, might make it harder
    to sneak into this country and,
    once here, to stay indefinitely.
    Let me see if I correctly understand
    the thinking behind these protests.
    Let's say I break into your house.
    Let's say that when you discover
    me in your house, you insist that I leave.
    But I say, "I've made all
    the beds and washed the
    dishes and did the laundry
    and swept the floors. I've
    done all the things you don't
    like to do. I'm hard-working
    and honest
    (except for when I broke into your house).

    According to the protesters:
    You are Required to let me stay in your house
    You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
    You are Required to Educate my kids
    You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family
    (my husband will do all of your yard work because
    he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
    breaking in part).


    If you try to call the police or force me out,
    I will call my friends who will picket your
    house carrying signs that proclaim my
    RIGHT to be there.


    It's only fair, after all, because you have
    a nicer house than I do, and I'm just
    trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working
    and honest, person, except for well,
    you know, I did break into your house
    And what a deal it is for me!!!


    I live in your house, contributing only a
    fraction of the cost of my keep, and
    there is nothing you can do about it
    without being accused of cold,

    uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and
    bigoted behavior.


    Oh yeah,I DEMAND that you to learn
    MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can
    communicate with me.


    Why can't people see how ridiculous
    this is?! Only in America .
    if you agree, pass it on (in English).
    Share it if you see the value of it.

    If not blow it off.........
    along with your future Social Security
    funds, and a lot of other things.

    Good analogy. I must say, however, that I am offended by the attempt to associate the number 666, the "number of the Beast" about which we are warned in Johns Revelation at Patmos, with this President. To my mind, such gratuitous political commentary diminishes the very serious nature of the actual number and associated mark. It's not bad enough that we have to suffer through all the Catholicized "mark of the Devil" nonsense manifested in stupid Hollywood fare like The Omen and with the gross misconceptions that such urban legends foster, but now we have the images of true evil like Hitler and his Nazis and the 666 applied to politicians we don't like. It's shameful hyperbole, and it does little to move the debate forward. Bush isn't the Beast, Hillary isn't the Beast. Heck, the Pope isn't even the Beast. Neither are Conservatives Nazis or (most) Liberals Communists. These terms lose their meaning when they are overused.
