White Man's Burden No Longer
Yo, I'm watching Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN. Lou Dobbs is talking to Congressman Mark Foley of Florida about illegal immigration.
They were complaining because of the number of undocumented immigrants who are receiving treatment in hospitals at taxpayer's expense.
To think- people who need help are actually getting help...for FREE?!?!
And they're "illegal immigrants"- which of course means they're some shade of brown.
Sound the White Man's Alert!
Those daggone smelly liberals have sold out the country to the darker nations and lazy bums of the Earth!
Let us rally around King George and his Dick Cheney, and reclaim the empire--er, uh...republic!
C'mon man...you got beef because people who are sick went to the hospital? What sense does that make?
So what if tax payer money is partially spent on their care?
Sharing is caring.
Have some compassion. Seriously, where's the humanity? What if YOU were in another country trying to survive and you got sick. What would you do?
And don't say "I wouldn't be in that situation...blah blah blah."
What if you were in their situation, what would you do?
What if you went to the hospital and they wouldn't let you in. What if you just needed some penicillin, just a week's worth?
But they told you "NO."
What would you do?
The United States of America is a great country to live and grow, and anyone who lives here should feel extremely fortunate. And we Americans are known for representin' at every possible moment....
...but don't be that kid.
You know...
....that kid who brags about how big his house is, or how cool his video games are, or how great his food tastes- and then doesn't share.
That's just not right.
And you know your mother raised you better than that.

Your article on "White Man's Burden No Longer" is awesome, Cipher! And I agree with you. As a Christian, one of God's commandments is that we help the needy, the poor, particularly widows and orphans. I can't deny someone a piece of bread when I have a whole loaf. Some would say that, if they keep the whole loaf, they are guaranteed security. Maybe here on earth. But one day, we will all stand accountable before God. I say let's do right now, making sure our reservation is secure later on -- in Heaven! Let's be strong, yet compassionate. Let us be caring, yet preserving. Let us share what God gave to us all, our hearts.
