How do you answer this? (from my bro.)

Did you know?

Did you know that “listen” and “silent” use the same letters?

Do you know that the words “race car” spelled backwards
Still spells “race car”?

And that “eat” is the only word that, if you take the first letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense “ate”?

And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in “illegal immigrants,” and add just a few more letters, it spells: “Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking jackasses and take those other hairy-faced, rag-headed, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-shagging, raggedy-ass Bastards with you.”

How weird is that?

as a vegetarian I can only imagine a vegan would send them over the edge! Livin' large on veggies in beef country! (Except for Mabel in the Chinese Food Restaurant we frequent, she is a real charmer, there is nothing I can't get there without the meat, the only place I can get this wonderful service without a sideways glare)

And then, if you must, tell them that any combination of letters, in any language, can be combined to spell the word "compassion".

And with a little more work, the same letters can be combined to spell "intelligent", but it takes more work.

Jesus was a middle eastern immigrant, spoke no English, wore sandals, hung around with criminals and prostitutes ... and oh, he was a Jew too!!

Then point out that God spelled backward is Dog. Radar spelled backward is still radar. And that Jesus healed the sick and never asked for a co-pay, or claimed "pre-existing condition".

11. I gave one of my brothers his very own mail folder.
Sat May 12, 2012, 09:43 PM
May 2012

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]ALL of his emails skip my inbox and are directed straight to that folder, which goes bold to tell me there's something new in it.

When I'm in the mood, I take a look to see if it's about family, or whether it's just one of his libertarian screeds or forwards. If the former, I respond appropriately. If the latter, I just let it sit.

My blood pressure and my inner serenity are very happy with this arrangement.

They had lax border policies that allowed the migrant workers to "do the jobs Americans won't do"...

And they never-EVER- go after the employers of undocumented workers....

Add it up & remember-wasn't it Ronnie that passed the amnesty program. To me tyhis has been a long held plan by the greedy to squash American labor...It has worked all too well.

As Democrats we tend to look at the human aspect- but I do believe the Republican policy of bringing them here to drive down wages should be pointed out whenever the topic comes up.

That good for you?

But he never votes. As posted before, he's a VietNam vet, racist as all hell. I don't know why his panties are in a bunch over this. He has always lived in N.C., now S.C. and will never leave.
