Jams, it hasn’t been that many decades since the Irish, as well as most immigrants were treated the same way in the US, but now they have shifted to skin color to identify the “other” among us.

I was aware that if you weren’t a Protestant in US, “you belonged to a cult”, which has morphed into the attacks on Muslims.

The hatred doesn’t go away, it just changes targets.

There was once a time when you needed some proof before you made accusations. We have gone back to the days of my youth when being the wrong color in the same general area that a crime was committed was all that was needed for a conviction.

Didn’t it used to be wrong to just blatantly lie in public?

At this point I think that Cranky McGrampa would blame his corns, the common cold, and the fact that Ke$ha has a recording contract on illegals. He probably stood on his front porch in his bath robe and fuzzy slippers this morning and yelled “you illegals get off my lawn!” before he realized that it was his lawn service and returned to his breakfast.

He used to be a sane and reasonable man, the appointed heir to Barry Goldwater, but Cranky McGrampa has become a caricature of himself, Grampa Simpson in the flesh. He ought to just hang it up and retire.
