Political Humor Only Please

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

Actually, I don't remember you ever being banned; but, maybe that's just company policy :) Then again, it could be age, too. Anyway, I really missed it.

The creed by which I live, and perhaps a hint of pagan ancestry as well, inclines me to let bygorns be bygorns. ;)

I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.

Irony:

This editorial cartoon, published in the New York Herald in 1918, depicts the anti-immgrant sentiment that arose during World War I. Source: Library of Congress

You know Lady Liberty’s entreaty to give her “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”? Emma Lazarus penned that sonnet when the United States began implementing strict laws to keep the huddled masses out. A year earlier, in 1882, Congress had passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first major immigration law to restrict entry of a specific ethnic group, after complaints that the Chinese were polluting American culture and appropriating American jobs.

What about the European immigrants welcomed in decades prior, when they fled poverty, persecution or potato famine?

Well, in the mid-19th century, an entire national political party — the Know Nothings — was predicated on fears that morally and racially inferior German and Irish Catholic immigrants were threatening the livelihoods and liberties of native-born Protestants.

Even earlier, some of our most venerated Founding Fathers — people who had abundant evidence of the additive properties of ethnic diversity and benefits of infusing the economy with fresh blood — exhibited frighteningly nativist tendencies. Benjamin Franklin denounced the scourge of “swarthy” German immigrants who refused to speak English, for example.


Take a wild guess who they meant.

Here's a suggestion: stop speaking for other people, and start worrying about yourself.

On her first day in office Madame President Clinton is going to give Texas back to Mexico and then appoint Obama to the Supreme Court.

And then it's Adiós for you.

Say it with a joke if you can't with a smile.
