I should preface this by acknowledging that my family is completely bat shit insane.
Yesterday for whatever reason the discussion came up via e-mail about the whole illegal immigration thing. I think it started with someone sending one of those stupid forwarded e-mail fake letters to the editor all Johnny gung-ho go America the rest of the world is a cesspool of carp things.
That's right I said "carp".
Anyway one of my oh so well informed relatives made some comment about how the 9/11 hijackers came through our porous border with Mexico.
?
Side note: I once had an argument with this same rather gullible person about whether the Blair Witch Project was "real" like oh sure a snuff film would be released in all the major theaters.
I had never heard this particular zinger before though and I was pretty sure it wasn't true so I decided to see if I could find out. It took me about 30 seconds on google to scare up the report from the 9/11 Commission.
http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/staff_statement_1.pdf
"The 19 hijackers entered the United States a total of 33 times. They arrived through ten
different airports, though more than half came in through Miami, JFK, or Newark."
Etc etc etc
I guess those coyotes have planes now instead of just beat up pick-up trucks.
None of which is the point, the point is that after all of this we got this from another relative:
"J D Hayworth lost his bid for reelection in Arizona because he wanted to close the border and the loopholes. If most Arizonans want the border closed why did he lose? Because the secular newspapers all support open borders. They want a secular nation without any traditional, religious values - no moral judgments. People are going to have to wake up and put an end to this madness before our sovreignty [sic] is lost and the Judao Christian ethic is something only studied about in history class."
WTF?
I don't even know where to start with this. I think I'm going to ignore it but DAHAM someone has taken the train to crazy town.

Are you familiar with 'carping?' One use of the word is to denote squeezing a sleeping person's nostrils shut until the lack of oxygen causes them to suck in air through the mouth. The resulting action resembles a fish out of water.

Wait... I'm pretty sure the above is a GOOD idea.

I can't get "secular newspaper" out of my mind. What does that mean? Does that mean that any time he doesn't agree with what he sees in a newspaper (cough global warming, no WMD in Iraq...) it is because it is a secular newspaper with an agenda.

Doesn't surprise me. I have an aunt who still thinks all the terrorists were Iraqi.
