Four Nice People
================

I.

	You don't hate people who have something wrong with them.  You
help them.  I would support almost any program to help them.

	I'm not a hater.  I don't hate gays.

	But it's wrong to say it's OK.  They want us to say it's OK.  That's
why we voted the way we did.  We're not the haters they say we are.


II.

	The people have spoken!  We're not the bigots the lefties say we are!

	Trouble with Hispanics is they think this is their country.  Think
we didn't win the Mexican War.  We're a great nation.  And everything we have
we got by war.

	If they're going to salute our flag, say the Pledge of Allegiance and
speak our language - they're welcome.  But we have to preserve our culture,
the democratic ideals we keep for the world.

	I don't hate Hispanics.  But this is our country.

III.

	I know that some do, but I have nothing against Jews.  But they must
be out of their minds!  No nativity scene at City Hall?

	If that bothers them they can go to Israel.  This country is Christian.
Part of our heritage like the judge said.

	They came here.  They have no right to complain.  How much of their
tax money is going to that anyhow?  It isn't that much.

	We let them come here.  We let them stay here.  Time they stopped
whining.


IV.

	I know the politically correct crowd is going to call me a racist.
But Blacks are prone to violence and promiscuity.

	I'm tired of hearing all the crap about police brutality and unfair
trials.  Time they learned to obey the law.

	I'm against discrimination, but we don't owe them anything.  So there
used to be discrimination.  Ancient history.

	I have no special advantages for being white.  But if a Black applies
for a job he can yell discrimination if he doesn't get it.  I'm having a hard
time of it.  Everybody is.  But I'm no welfare queen -- I'm supporting them!

	Cut them all off.  Fire the bureaucrats.  That'll take care of the
deficit.

	If I walk down the street I have to hold my purse with both hands.
All those Black men hanging around for no good reason.  That's the sort of
thing that makes people racist.

The Picket
==========

The munitions train is approaching.
A picket line stands on the tracks.

One woman says, "I don't do much of this anymore.
I've been planting trees up in the mountains."

Says a professor, "I did a lot of this once.
I now try to wake up my students."

His colleague says, "I'm here today with my wife.
I volunteer down at the shelter."

Says the woman who carries no sign, "You must stop this
and *be* peace to everyone."

The conductor says to the brakeman,
"Diana's piano recital's tomorrow."

One man does not move though the train is slowing.
There is a thud
	then the scream of the airbrakes.

The words on his picket sign read:

	THEIR LIVES ARE NOT WORTH LESS
	 OUR LIVES ARE NOT WORTH MORE

>>	If they're going to salute our flag, say the Pledge of Allegiance and
>>speak our language - they're welcome.  But we have to preserve our culture,
>>the democratic ideals we keep for the world.

People have the right to not do the above.  I do have a problem with those who 
are disrespectful to the American flag in light of the fact that men like
George Washington and many of my relatives died for your constitutional 
rights.

>>	They came here.  They have no right to complain.  How much of their
>>tax money is going to that anyhow?  It isn't that much.

I can live with that. Now are you willing to drop funding of tasteless art 
sponsored by the NEA that I have to pay for?  Or does this make me a bigot?

>>	I know the politically correct crowd is going to call me a racist.
>>But Blacks are prone to violence and promiscuity.

You can blame the media for that one.

>>	I'm tired of hearing all the crap about police brutality and unfair
>>trials.  Time they learned to obey the law.

I believe police officers are accountable for there actions.  What I abhor is
disregarding the Bill of Rights like Ammendment 5.
"...nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in
 jeopardy of life or limb..."
Stacey Koons should have been put away the FIRST time.  The second charge was
a violation of the 5th Ammendment.

>>	I'm against discrimination, but we don't owe them anything.  So there
>>used to be discrimination.  Ancient history.

Absolutely.  Society owes our Veterans, NOBODY else!
 
>>	Cut them all off.  Fire the bureaucrats.  That'll take care of the
>>        deficit.

No.  Fire the beurocrats and provide benefits to those who are really in need.  
Fraud is rampant and it is socially irresponsible for us not to address this.

>>	If I walk down the street I have to hold my purse with both hands.
>>All those Black men hanging around for no good reason.  That's the sort of
>>thing that makes people racist.

You're right.  Only tell that to Jesse Jackson.  Jesse admitted on CNN that 
he fears walking through black neighborhoods than whites.  I commend his
honesty but he is a racist.

So you're against the violation of the fifth amemdment, but not the first?

And for the record, I would have no problem dropping *forced* (ie. mandatory
taxes) funding for the NEA.

    No...I am for the first, as long as it isn't done at my monetary
    expense.  I believe tasteless art usually succumbs to the common sense
    of the average Joe.  It rears its ugly head for awhile then goes back
    into exile as it only attracts the maggots of society anyway!
