“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

What special brand of asshole shows up to protest child refugees from south American countries armed?

What particular kind of stupid is requisite here, to get up in the morning, get dressed, have some coffee, lock and load, looking forward to a day that will be about brandishing your rifle and carrying a moronic and likely misspelled sign depicting mere innocent children as evil and disease ridden infiltrators?

Diseases like Ebola, that don’t exist outside Africa.

Children that are the victims of our oppressive economic policies and our failed, utterly disastrous drug laws.

Who gets out of bed to terrorize children?

Confused and frightened children.  Children who can’t speak our language.

Children of parents just as confused and frightened as a direct result of American influence in their own hopelessly poor South American countries.

Parents so profoundly confused and frightened and obviously absent any other option that they are compelled to exercise the only option they see as viable.  The only option available.  To send them a thousand or more miles a way on a dangerous and arduous journey to the good old US of A.  How sad in the 21st century that is their best choice.

Just exactly what are you very special assholes worried about?  What are you afraid of?  When humans behave this way the only explanation is fear.  Occam’s razor.

Are these guiltless children gonna take your goddamn jobs?

Rick Perry and Sean Hannity need to take it upon themselves to patrol the border armed to the teeth and and fucking televise it?  I guess Ted Nugent wasn’t available.

You people.  Afraid of this.  So afraid you bring your goddamn guns to scare the already traumatized and horrified CHILDREN.  Rednecks.  Teabillies.  Willfully ignorant, deliberately under informed fucktards.  At what age did you lose your capacity for compassion?  At what time in your life did the callus on your soul grow so thick that you can’t recognize human suffering and desperation?

You call yourselves militia.

You’re no militia.  You are the disease.  You are the cancer and we can’t wait until you die of your own insidious malaise.

You are the same car full of dangerous clowns that showed up to defend the now infamous fraud Cliven Bundy.

Bring yer guns boys!

It’s on.

The same clowns that showed up to beat on Americans who dared to demand civil rights already afforded to them in the 60’s.

The same clowns who want to sue or impeach the president.

The same clowns whos biggest legitimate fear is that the American white male dominated society is on the wane.

The same clowns who really need to get over it.  You’re right.  It’s coming to an end and you all are now faced with the task of being equal.  No more unearned privilege.  No more automatic advantage.  You now are faced with the brutal reality of being the same as everyone else.  Equal.  Woe is you, you fucking abject cowards.  Maybe tomorrow you can get up, lock and load and scare the shit out of white people at Chipotle or Target with your stupid fucking guns.

Good for you.

In the meantime, keep eating crayons while fantasizing about lighting up some immigrant with your ridiculous goddamn boom stick.

Your desperation stinks.  And we are sick of the smell.

Drinks for my friends.

    One of your BEST yet!!!! NEVER stop writing. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. Posting this one to Facebook. Bless you!

  • Gloria Lemos:

    This is just the article I’ve been looking for. Thank you for expressing the sentiments of so many of us so brilliantly.

  • Andrew Markoff:

    “You all are now faced with the task of being equal.”

    Well said. All of the children should sue the U.S. government for complicity in the untenable and un-survivable violence in Honduras.

  • Midge H.:

    Wow, you expressed the very rage I’ve been feeling and trying to get out there. Excellent work, I will share and I hope it reaches those who need to read it most.

    • I repied to your comment because I know how hard you work for the rights of Immigrants. We live ina culture of intolerance. some that in all my years alive I have never witnessed. I go do the dentention center in Broadview with many other for a vigil as people are being deported. The face of their families is one of agony. We must as a Society in light of what is happening know with the children and some parents coming from violent and incredible hardships try even harder then ever until we win this battle of Hate and apathy. i invite all to participate in bringing this injustice in our own country to an end.

  • madelane:

    You wrote what I’ve been thinking and feeling about this crazy, insane behavior, we’ve all had the misfortune of viewing! It’s people like them that make the rest of the world be disgusted by the “good old US of A”!! Well, I’m disgusted too!! You are right when you say they’re afraid; they’re afraid of what’s happening to this country (real and imagined) but they’re too stupid to be mad at the real culprits of the mess our country is in!! They’re too stupid to be mad at Bush and the rest of his cronies, Wall Street, and the corporations, that have been destroying us from the inside out! No, they couldn’t be what’s caused this mess, oh no, it’s Obama, and all the illegal children that should be sent back to almost certain death, yeah, they’re the real culprits: a president who wasn’t president when it all went down, and a bunch of innocent children that just want a chance at a decent life, that isn’t in the middle of a country where our policies have destroyed anything decent within the country.

  • This is what I hope is in the heart of thinking Americans whose ancestors came here from other countries or perhaps they did.
    My grandparents fled Spain to avoid Franco,and my mother and some of her siblings came to this country.Actually I know of no one whose parents,grandparents etc have not immigrated.
    As a Latina now senior woman living for most of my life where the KKK and the Aryan Nation flourished and having lost a daughter due to the harassment of such groups it not only sickens me but terrifies me that we as a nation have gone so far astray.

  • Phil N. DeBlanc:

    Well done sir!

  • Love this, Michael. You nailed it. Especially: “. . . you all are now faced with the task of being equal. No more unearned privilege. No more automatic advantage. You now are faced with the brutal reality of being the same as everyone else.”

  • seriouslypagan:

    Well said, thanks for saying it.

  • Mark Breit:

    Outstanding, Michael. you echo my feelings to a tee!

  • Gordon:

    Excellent post Michael,
    I guess it’s finally time to take down the statue of liberty, it’s about as useful as last years christmas decorations hanging off a foreclosed middle class dream.

  • Wow,,,,,that was great Michael! Right on!

  • Ken E:

    Not surprised at this great writing. You have you’re own talk radio. Keep it up!

  • john g:

    You are an idiot!

  • Iván Antezana Q.:

    Wow… One of those very rare occasions when rage becomes art. It’s a shame that tribal-minded people still keeps some degree of power in XXI century.
