Reflections From a Murky Pond

Sometimes the irony, it burns.

It burns hot with the all-consuming fires of unpleasant and uncomfortable truths – truths that the purveyors of lies hate with a black, bleeding passion and the believers of those lies dread being forced to acknowledge.

The Liberals’ position on illegal immigration is one such burning, caustic irony that, will turn their dreams to ash if fully exposed to the masses – assuming, that is, that those masses could bring themselves to accept it.

Whenever forced to provide a measurable reason why America’s borders shouldn’t be secured and the illegals already hiding within them be expelled the reason that they always supple is that illegal immigrants are needed for America’s economy because they will work for substandard wages and in substandard conditions.

The Liberals’ Position On Illegal Immigration

Whenever forced to provide a measurable reason why America’s borders shouldn’t be secured and the illegals already hiding within them be expelled the reason that they always supple is that illegal immigrants are needed for America’s economy because they will work for substandard wages and in substandard conditions.

Go ahead, if you can stomach talking to them, and force a Liberal to give an answer with more substance than “Open Borders”, “Right to Travel,” or the ever-ready “Racist!” or “Nationalist!”

According to the Liberals we as nation need illegal immigrants, mostly the Hispanic ones, in order to maintain our standard of living through using them as some form of neo- or quasi-slave labor – especially in when it comes to agriculture, factory work, and domestic maintenance.

Liberals’ Answers

• Who will pick the crops?
• They do jobs that Americans won’t do!
• Illegal Immigrants are part of the backbone of our economy.

Those are immensely ironic answers from a group of people who tout themselves as being the guardians of civil rights fighting the long, hard war against “America’s ingrained and institutional racism.” It’s an amazingly ironic position for a group of people who claim to be the champions of workers rights.

Yet, these are the answers that the Liberals keep giving – over, and over, and over again.

In all likelihood, we’re no going to be able to tell any soon whether the defects that led to the Liberal brain or it’s final, fatal expression in OWS rabble or genetic or congenital. All we can do is analyze the gross expressions of their pathology.

The OWS Brain

That’s the unfortunate part of life; it hates a vacuum. When the reasoning parts of the human brain fail to grow in utero, the centers of the animal brain focused on irresponsibility, envy, anger, anger rage grow to “compensate” or, at least, maintain intracranial pressure.

Men and women are, in the broad sense, equal but quite dissimilar. They have vastly different selection criteria for potential mates; assess members of their own gender upon meeting quite differently; and there’s an evolutionary uniqueness in it being females that engage in dramatic sexual displays instead of the males.

Strange as it might sound at first to a great many people, these gender-based differences also extend to even choosing what underwear to don on any given day.

As you can see the process of choosing what underwear to wear is vastly different between men and women. Anecdotal evidence also suggests these disparate processes are so different from each other that members of each sex can’t even understand the process of the other. 😆

Every generation has the sad tendency to think its problem are new, novel, and unique. Each successive generation chooses to ignore Santayana’s wise words, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

This is especially true of America’s current economic problems and the resultant attempts by Obama and the Democrats to profit from them. It’s nothing new at all; America went through the same things in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The various talking heads of the current generation of demand-driven, monitarian, and macroeconomic economist are all arguing the exact same causal factors now as their predecessors did in the early 1930s.

I propose to the American people a New New Deal

More importantly and dangerously, Obama and the Democrats along with the labor union syndicates they’re beholden to have been capitalizing upon Americans’ misfortune in very similar manners to how they did during the Great Depression.

The only functional difference between how the government and their backers and handlers have tried to capitalize off of today’s “Great Recession versus how they did so off of the Great Depression is that the syndicates of labor unions are now so entrenched in the government’s procurement process that Obama can’t engage in the pharaonic building projects that Franklin D. Roosevelt reveled in during the ’30s.

They just can’t recreate the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

This is important because FDR, his cronies, and his handlers managed through the political and financial profiteering to drag out the Depression for years and years until World War 2 finally forced the government to focus to change its policies. Obama’s, his cronies’, and his handlers’ political and financial profiteering will do the same thing – except that we don’t fight wars the same way anymore so getting into one won’t work as an economic fix this time.

This is nothing new. Our current situation and people’s reactions to it are little different from what has gone before. We need to learn from those past events and prevent this generation of bad actors from doing to us what their predecessor’s did to our ancestors.

H/T to YesterYear Once More for the 1930’s political cartoons. It’s an interesting site showcasing how American life was reported by journalists and writers several generations ago. YesterYear Once More has also been to Reflections From A Murky Pond’s blogroll.

Teachers are forever. The memories of our educators will stay with us throughout our lives, either as inspiration or admonition.

On The Bright Side, Test Results Have Improved

Of course that’s suppose to be memory, not an ongoing, generational interaction with a lich – but with tenure and the ossified and corrupt teachers union industry this is less and less the case.
