My mom is a moderate Republican who voted for Obama, and she also knows where I stand politically, so I thought she'd know better than to send this to me thinking that I'd find it funny. I did send her an e-mail telling her that the nativist bigotry offended me. It will be interesting to see her response. - Faith-----Original Message-----
Here's your laugh for the day.
Subject: Yup I passed it on
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida .
Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.
+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today ? Yes!
Think about this one:
1. Cows 2. The Constitution 3. The Ten Commandments
C O W S
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians.....It creates a hostile work environment.
PART OF THE PROBLEM Also, Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone-- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for America to Speak up!
Yep, I passed it on!

Uh, yeah, this is not that bad. You need to get over yourself.
If your worldview is that delicately in the balance perhaps you should consider whether your beliefs are really worth all that much to you.
@ Steve
But it is boring, stale and hacky.
@ Steve: Are you honestly amused by the idea of a moat full of alligators on the Mexican border? Speaking of worldview
I will always stand by my beliefs, which do not tolerate the kind of nativist bigotry expressed in this forward.
Signed...the person who submitted it in the first place.

... uh, that last sentence there.... hmmm, perhaps that is the smartest & truest thing in this boring rant, and sadly, those who write/read/forward this stooopidity don't "get" what is there. Yeah, we're NOT using the Constitution as it was written by our founding fathers, and THAT is the "problem," ya idiots.
Here's the funny thing: when we've set up governments for other countries (Japan, Iraq, etc.), we've never, ever endorsed the government we have in the constitution. We implement a parliamentary system.
This is a pretty stupid forward. "illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida" are probably the last things on anyone's mind right now, and even if they were, I'm not sure why it's funny to compare illegal immigrants to slaughter cows.
But dont you just wonder how they found one damn calf but can't seem to figure out which folks are here illegally -- perhaps that would be a good use of the stimulus that even conservatives would endorse
"But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow."
Maybe we should microchip them?
Ooooo....I think I read about that in a left Behind book once.
