ToDaZeD What Is Wrong With You?!?
unclear on the concept
That is what happens when there is so much fear and there is so much disappointment,” said Gustavo Ramirez, a protester from California. “The laws that have been passed, they are Nazi laws. They are not considering humanity. They are a crime against humanity."
This is what happens; Klown Kolledge drop-outs smear swastikas on the AZ Capitol windows using refried beans.
Please. It’s beans. I insist we take their word for it.
While Gustavo Ramirez re-considers the advisability of de-caf, let’s take a wander through untangling this symbolism.
Swastika = NAZI = National Socialist Party. Ok - an argument could be made to characterize folks who support having actual borders on their country as being nationalists. Stupid, but almost arguable. I would invite those who attempt it to first list all the countries in the world that have open borders and no requirements on those who wish to immigrate there.
The next layer involves creating those swastikas from refritos. Ok - refried beans are stereotypically associated with those of Mexican tastes, if not nationality. Also Taco Bell aficionados—but that’s not important now. Are the vandal[s] implying that, as “Beaners”, the Mexican citizens who are outraged at being treated as equals before the law had no other tool at hand to express their disapproval other than a handful of ...erm, beans? That don’t seem right…
Or might they be implying that Mexican NAZIs are invading AZ? Or that Arizonans dislike NAZIs—the old “f-- ‘em and feed ‘em beans” approach?
This is the first case of hate-crime vandalism since Gov. Jan Brewer signed the controversial Senate Bill ...
Wait. Hate Crime?!? Who are we h8’n on—NAZIs? Why would that be a crime? Or is it a H8-crime to use beans to express yourself? Or maybe it’s illegal to be H8’n on the AZ legislature?
ach - my head hurts.
“First Case”?!? You’re expecting more? Maybe next time 37 guys in a ‘92 Honda will run a red light and smack into the Capitol, then all jump out and run in opposite directions. Or a lone man with a leaf blower will spell out something on the Capitol lawn?
Mexico’s Calderon squeaks out:
Mexican President Felipe Calderon says Arizona’s new immigration law is discriminatory and warns relations with the U.S. border state will suffer. ...
Calderon says trade and political ties with Arizona will be “seriously affected,” although he announced no concrete measures.
Tell me some more about how Mexico enforces its borders with Guatamala, Felipay? Or how non-citizens are not allowed to own real property in Mexico? Or how folks who overstay their visas are treated in Mexico?
“Indeed, our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others. And that includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.
“In fact, I’ve instructed members of my administration to closely monitor the situation and examine the civil rights and other implications of this legislation. But if we continue to fail to act at a federal level, we will continue to see misguided efforts opening up around the country."
Wonder if Teh iWon is amused by this misguidedness.
