Predictable: Republicans Enlighten America about the Boston Bombing

Look, Ma! I'm on television! And people are listening!

Who let these foreigners in our white, Christian country?

One look at this guy and the FBI should have known he was a terrorist.

"Given the events of this week, it’s important for us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system," he said. "While we don’t yet know the immigration status of the people who have terrorized the communities in Massachusetts, when we find out, it will help shed light on the weaknesses of our system."

"How can individuals evade authorities and plan such attacks on our soil?" he continued. "How can we beef up security checks on people who wish to enter the U.S.? How do we ensure that people who wish to do us harm are not eligible for benefits under the immigration laws, including this new bill before us?"

Senator Grassley, Republican-Iowa

The shameless political opportunism award this week goes to...It's a toss up between the Republican Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, for trying to deny due process to the Boston bomber as an "enemy combatant" in the "War on Terrorism," which is a transparent attempt to create a war out of thin air using the most recent emotion stoking event in the news and....

 Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, who saw an opportunity to deny access to our shores to all those smart kids from Taiwan and Germany who want to take jobs in Silicon Valley by linking "immigrants" read "terrorists"  to the news that the two Boston bombers who had apparently assimilated into America turned on us and blew up bombs. 


Never mind Timothy McVeigh, whose bomb took an even more horrific toll was as American as Apple pie. Mr. Grassley did not suggest we outlaw nitrogen based fertilizer because whackos can use it to blow up federal buildings with day care centers.  (Mr. Grassley is from Iowa, where fertilizer is not easily demonized.) 

Mr. Lindsey never liked the Constitution none, and Mr. Grassely, well all those foreigners always stuck in his craw, speaking all those nasty languages and bringing all those new ideas into the country, just Euro trash is all. What ever got into us, allowing these dangerous people to settle in this country?  Why their names don't even sound American.

Let us now demonize whomever we please, based on last weeks headlines.

Let us consider a pack of jackasses. Now let us consider the United States Congress. But then, I repeat myself.
