FIGHT FOR MY VOTE: STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

7 Comments

China


I like your writing style. Very conversational and thought provoking at that.

I, also, have been having some derogatory things to say, to whomever is appropriate at the time, about buying products from China.

Particularly products you are going to introduce into some body cavity, ie., the recent scandals on toothpaste sold primarily in the Caribbean and Central American countries. Something like a hundred men, women and children died from that stuff laced with an ingredient from anti freeze.

Then, of course, we have the pet food poisoned by an active chemical added to grain stocks to make them appear to have a higher protein level. What did they do with the grain that had not yet been added to pet food. Right, they sold it to pork and poultry producers.

Hey, poison is poison, I don't care which mammal eats the stuff. If my pet dies, well, I'll get another after a short funeral, but if the ham or bacon I am eating is loaded with this stuff, who is going to warn me after I am dead.

Lead paint for children to suck on. No problem, right.??.



onceamarine - where art thou?

Thank you very much for your comments. I believe that attempting to be conversational in my writing helps get my messages across.

I am on the verge of boycotting everything from China.

Bought my husband a nice desk accessory set the other day. And guess where it was from (I hadn't bothered to find out first)? You guessed it: China.

It was one of those metal mesh things; I asked him if he planned to chew on it, and he said (thank goodness) that he wasn't, but I still fear his touching it, then touching his eye or lips or anywhere on his skin where lead may leach through.

Why do we have to live like this? Let's gang up on our lawmakers and ask why.

Mrs. Frigglesnitz


Love that name, but would have thought it was a guy.

I am noticing that I posted under immigration instead of China. Oh what the H, you' didn't get after me about it and so what.

Yes, I now look at almost anything I am buying because the bulk of things are coming from China. The problem is bigger than China and the food chain. The money chain is even a bigger problem. China is now the third largest economy and closing on second.

Their military is growing by leaps and bounds. They are already 2nd in number of personal computers and closing fast on number one, us. China will in a very few years be able to black mail us, and probably already can on some things. Blackmail is called, undue influence, in nice circles. Nice and one dollar will get you a cup of coffee most places.

Keep up the good fight Sniglefritz, er Fritzsniggle, er Frigglesnitz. See how much fun you can have with a name like that. Gotta like anybody with that name. Shucks, my big granmama was from Bavaria. She taught school here until she married, and then again after her husband, my paternal grandfather, died.(1916) That's not so long ago right.??. My great grandfather was born in 1815. Long generations.

One question for you. You started by saying, Where art thou.??. A most unusual greeting. Do you really want to know or is it redundant. And if so what are you really asking.??.

onceamarine

Yes, onceamarine, it's an unusual name, and it's an unusual greeting to you. It's simply that I had wanted to comment on a blog post of yours and had checked every category of blog post listed in Townhall and didn't find even one onceamarine. Someone mentioned that perhaps you had joined up with TH only to comment, but not blog. So this was the only way I knew how to contact you to say thanks.

My ancestors came from England, Ireland, Scotland. And one was here already. She was a native American Indian, and my family figured out that my sisters and I are just about 1/64 native American Indian. We don't list it on the Census. I don't think the Census would count 1/64 of anything as very much. I could say "Heinz 57," I guess.

At any rate, the first one got here before the Declaration of Independence was signed, and since some of the ancestors were here already, I feel perfectly entitled, just as all Americans are, to grouse about politics, immigration, and any other "little" thing preying on my mind at any given time.

My name? Long story which I'll try to make short. My dad was an avid "student" of Dr. John Spooner, who "invented" spoonerisms. In short, those are words or phrases that have been inverted. Spoonerisms can be very, very funny. OK, to get back to the story, my dad used to call me, for whatever reason, and among many other nicknames, "Snigglefritz." Thus, Frigglesnitz. A sack of apples would be an ack of sapples. And for some reason I'm drawing a blank on any other spoonerisms.

Anyhow, if you have a blog site, net me low the name of it. I'm hoping, naturally, that you'll hatch up kere with this message.

Thanks again. Sorry this was so long and drawn out.

Heinz 57

My wife's from southern Louisiana, and she was quite honest when filling out the census last time 'round. She said YES to: white, black, non-white hispanic, white-hispanic, native American (filled in 6 tribe names). Her dad's been working on their geneology for over 20 years and has a couple hundred thousand names listed in their tree of many branches.

Since she's from N'awlins, one of her first Navy work centers called her "Boudreaux", and that's what I've called her ever since, even though she also goes by Cayenne, and Creepy. Anyways, I like to occaisionally remember what a good creole girl does with a Crawfish...pinch the tail and........well, she's away at a school for the next 2 months so I'd better not be thinkin' 'bout that activity 'til she returns.

As for immigration, President Crawfish has a plan. I've got most of it posted somewhere over in my Swamp.......I think.

Frigglesnitz


Yes, my dad use to use names like that, especially with my sister.

As you mentioned, Irish, Scottish, English, Native American maybe a 1/16, also Prussian German, and who knows. I can sympathize with the Crawfish. He has his hands full with that combo. Bet she's a sweetie.

And yes, before the Declaration of Independence, circa 1650, when the royalist decided to not lose their heads, some came to the new lands, the colonies.

No, no blog. I am a commenter. Neither the time nor real ambition to sit around writing and wonder if anyone cares. I do critique a friends blog. He's a doctor from Birmingham, Aaalabamah. Just funnin. I didn't develop a southern accent until I left the south. Must have been some kind of self defense mechanism.

You might like what he writes. He is very patriotic, but has too large a vocabulary which I occasionally remind him. Check out his latest, "Message in a Bottle".

He's fabulous, and writes some great material.

onceamarine - thanks

Your comments to my blog are appreciated. No matter what I write about, I attempt to put everything I have in it -- at least without actually letting blood.

There are subjects that interest me greatly: the war, immigration, health care, the China problem, Iran, radical islamists, how to keep Israel safe -- just to name the primary ones.

I will check out the blog site you suggested; I'm sure it will be of interest. Your mention of "too large a vocabulary" intrigues me -- I'm a word lover from the word go. Not that I could join the older group in a spelling bee (I'd be humiliated), but because I simply love words and usually can't stand it until I can check out synonyms, etc.

Thanks again.
