Hola, Soy Estupido!!

Why is it at every whacko off the chart conservative rally where they get to think because they have red,white & blue somewhere on their body they are a better American than you there's always some old guy who dusts off his VFW cap, sticks it on his head, goes to the rally and thinks he can say anything he wants because some "nip" or "kraut" took a shot at him? Last night in Fremont, that's a nasty little town north of Omaha where they make Spam, a few thousand showed up at the local high school to debate whether illegals, translation: brown people, should be allowed in Fremont. Thanks to a courageous mayor, the goofy ordinance, which would have fined businesses, like the Spam plant, fined landlords, and generally outlawed the existence of Hispanics in Dodge County was defeated , much to the chagrin of the guy in the aforementioned hat, who was thrown out for standing up and telling opponents of the ordinance to "bring it on". Too much George Bush for that guy.

Whenever small town America decides to do something nutty like this, the small town brains who live in other places, like Omaha, decide to fuel up the F150 and drive up to the local burgh and attempt to throw in their two pesos, which usually consists of "what is it about illegal you don't understand?" followed by them leaning back and smirking like they oughta be writin for that Jay Leno fella. Oh, there was plenty of that up yonder, along with State Patrol, Omaha cops, Dodge County Sheriffs, and Fremont police to keep them from shootin up the place. But the Fremont City Council deadlocked at 4-4, which effectively killed the ordinance. However, a man named Skip Edwards, honorable mayor of Fremont, decided he would kill it deader than dead and voted against it also. He didn't have to vote at all. The issue was dead. But he voted anyway, and pissed of most of Fremont. To be fair, a lot of people gave the 69 year old $4800 a year mayor a standing ovation. To be even fairer, he needed a police escort home.

I can see both sides of this issue. I am conflicted on the issue. However, on some occasions you have to choose sides. You have to decide with whom you will stand. The bigots and the white supremacists and the gun nuts and the bad spellers (see above) all hate illegals and actually believe some American would actually make Spam for 6 bucks an hour. I can't stand with them. I can't take the I.Q. hit.
