It must be Spring, because the RW Chain Letters are Blooming!
*sigh*

I received this MESS from a family member. They must have forgotten that I'm a progressive. Check this out --

From the letter --


"I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.
1. $11 Billion to $22 bil lion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht
12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 bil lion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 bil lion annually over a five year period.'
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants in the United States '. http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml
The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
Are we THAT stupid???
If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof"


Ahh - the Lou Dobbs school of Hate has some graduates... :puke:

2. oh yeah! You should have seen the CC list my address was in the middle of!
But I had my say and refuted the hate. Let's just say that I know the *history* of this person as an employer in Southern California. I know where all the *skeletons* are buried. :evilgrin:

I was nice, and didn't hit Reply to All - but I was sorely tempted. Hypocrisy irritates the shit out of me. :grr:

Why do you don't replay in kind?.. If this person are a shit load of crap, why be nice.. Hit them where you can, when you can... The progressive in US would never manage to win back their country if they are playing nice with this type of people.. Don't be nice, be fair and answer in Kind.. That is something I would have doing, if I was given something like this...

But then I am not an american and are not living there, so I guess I am not in the position to say something..

7. the sender was very close family
Believe me, I -did- think about doing something similar.

But I didn't play nice Diclo - far from it. I reminded the sender of some things in the past that probably made their chin hit the floor. I wanted to get MY point across, and I'm sure I did. :evilgrin:

Exelent, when it come to this type of things, you have to play hard, but safe.. And it is maybe more dificult to be nasty when it is close familiy then just friends...

God you get your point across, it is important not to be to nice, but to tell the othe rpart that this is horshit, and you have some shit on them to... Be fair, be sivilized, but never be mr nice.. Even with close family.. If they respect you, thei would not made it a big issue.. If they dont respect you... Wel then you se how the how thick the blood really is...

Thank you. It is meant more or less a "warning" when it come to my English. My grammar is not good I know, but I try my best. I was meet by the "grammar police" first time I was here. So I found out it was best to warn the English peaking public that I was not that, and that my grammar may be little bad;)..

But it is always nice that what I write are been understand then:toast:

3. That could either be a Republican or Libertarian email...
It contains the characteristics of both.

4. I'd say 95% of the CC was Republican
There were a few names I didn't know. But most are repubs.

6. Hmm. No mention of defense spending, no bid contracts,
Haliburton, etc. That's where the true waste is coming from. Illegal aliens can't even touch the waste of our defense spending.
