A senile, old scumbag in the GA legislature and running for Congress wants to shoot illegal aliens on sight. GOP lawmaker: Illegal immigrants are like ‘Hitler’, should be shot
By Stephen C. Webster
Monday, October 18th, 2010 -- 6:24 pm
Georgia's Republican State Rep. John Yates has a position on immigration that almost nobody would agree with: he wants US border agents empowered to "shoot to kill."
Asked to justify his position, Yates recently told a reporter in Atlanta that illegal immigrants are enemies of America who must be dealt with severely.
"Stopping Hitler was worth the price," the 89-year-old lawmaker said.
Speaking at a Georgia candidate forum last week, a moderator asked for ideas on dealing with illegal immigration in Georgia. The state shares borders with Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
Yates began by saying he favors a tax on money sent from Georgia to Mexico, being that many undocumented residents do not pay an income tax.

I don't know if he's just angling for the teabagger vote or what, but this makes a case for shooting senile, old scumbags before they can finish molding the country into their own, vile image.

I posted the link on facebook with this comment:
"I've been around long enough to hear many whacky things said by politicians. But I can't remember a time when there were so many whack jobs running for or holding elected office. How crazy is it going to get? Can the country withstand this level of stupidity? Amazing..." |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

probably not |
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.
You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

I thought it was just my view from the Great White North.
Is it really that whacked down there in the US, or is it just the increased media attention being leveraged by, and put on these .... people? |
