Tom Tancredo, the gift that keeps on giving. Addressing the so-called “Tea Party convention” in Nashville, the former congressman (R-Tinfoil Beanie) and nativist nitwit said the nation should require “civics-literacy tests” of its voters.
“People who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House,” Tancredo oinked in his opening-day speech Thursday. “His name is Barack Hussein Obama.”
Careful what you wish for, Tommy old boy. I’m guessing that most of the homegrown mouth-breathers who inflicted you upon the nation’s capital back in the day think Jefferson Davis was Grace Slick’s old band, a filibuster is a cowboy who specializes in saddle-breaking mares, and cloture is some kind of gay French fashion.
Your base couldn’t distinguish the Bill of Rights from the Communist Manifesto unless it was tattooed on Caribou Barbie’s tits, and thus under your proposal the prototypical Tancredo supporter would have as much chance of voting in an American election as Raul Castro.

What is up with folks’ “say it in English” broken record? Seems to me that the more one spouts off about everyone else needing to speak English, the less of a command of the language that person has.
I think if it was pointed out that the Founding Fathers were completely in favor of immigration of any flavor, these folks’ heads would implode. (Not explode … not enough in there to blast outward.)
By the way, speaking of the Founding Fathers and Caribou Barbie … anyone know if she has learned the name of any of them yet?
Boy am I glad I’m not in the USA though we did buy a tiny TV today to watch the upcoming Olympic Winter Games — though we’ll have to set alarm clocks to see anything live. We do get BBC as well here so we can see some genuine news from Auntie Beeb now and then and see what kinda screwballs are acting up in the USA. Taxed Enough Already–compared to whom exactly? I’d pay a lot more taxes if they would provide healthcare to everyone, decent education to same, and maybe have a few roads and bridges in decent repair. All these nut-jobs should just move to South Dakota and then secede from the US!
Larry T – Idaho is the land of the disenchanted here in the US of A, not SD. Lots of hills and caves to hide out in from the invisible enemies out “get them”. Plenty of rural general stores stocked with bomb making supplies and such. The Talaban would be right at home there, and there idealogical agendas aren’t that far apart when it comes right down to it.
The “say it in English” is a rallying cry for those without much else to bitch about. Don’t they realize how the world is changing and if they can’t adapt to the changes, you won’t get a seat on the bus. They still think Malthus was right, that the population would soon out-strip the resources, so wall off the country so that those not the same as us can’t get “our stuff”. Few realize that the population of the world standing shoulder to shoulder would fit in the boundaries of a mid-sized US city. So all you republi-tards, if you want to beat back the immigrants, you need to increase your ranks. So you better start f*^%ing to increase your masses, since no body else seems to want to join you.
Now, I’ll get off of my soap box and back to my digital photo assignment.
Well said, Patrick.
Having said that, the notion of Miles Davis sharing the stage with Gracie Slick et al is amusing.
“Cloture?” Oh, I thought you said “Coultier.” My bad….
But Boz, if Idaho seceded from the US of A, how would we get taters to make Freedumb Fries? I think that the wingnuts should shoehorn themselves in that little bit of Minnesota that juts up over the 48th parallel and then they can secede from the states. Call themselves something original, like CehNehDeh or some such.
