See, I’m just getting so confused. Are we supposed to be beating up on the Muslims and whatever to save Israel so the end of the world can come? Or are we goodly fundamentalists aiming our mighty wrath at the Jews? I mean, that’s been tried. But we could have another go at it, I guess.

Just whom exactly do we hate this week? Yeah, brown people, but that’s a given. And mostly we go after ‘em if they are trying to come here to Amurrica. Unless they’re doing our lawns or cleaning our houses.

We would-be Rapture-rights need an up-to-date Hate-o-Meter. So many inferiors and infidels to persecute, so little time.

We welcome any color person here as long as they are legal immigrants.. so get off your soapboxes about hating brown people. You are all making this a race issue not us.

Though no federal statistics are kept on murders or any other crimes committed by illegal aliens, a number of groups have produced estimates based on data collected from prisons, news reports and independent research.

Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense.

But the carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That’s 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.

While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year’s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.

Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.

As the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. increases, so does the number of American victims.

According to Edwin Rubenstien, president of ESR Research Economic Consultants, in Indianapolis in 1980, federal and state correctional facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.

While the federal government doesn’t track illegal alien murders, illegal alien rapes or illegal alien drunk driving deaths, it has studied illegal aliens incarcerated in U.S. prisons.

In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:

* The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;

* Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

* 36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.

“While the vast majority of illegal aliens are decent people who work hard and are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, (something you or I would probably do if we were in their place), it is also a fact that a disproportionat ely high percentage of illegal aliens are criminals and sexual predators,” states Peter Wagner, author of a new report called “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration.” “That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration and when we allow the ‘good’ in we get the ‘bad’ along with them. The question is, how much ‘bad’ is acceptable and at what price?”

What you should do Jane Hamsher is resign your position at whatever it is you do and give that position to a “brown person”. This would enhance the diversity of wherever you are and show that world that you are not a hippocrate. There are a lot of people out there who are losing their jobs to brown people so why shouldn’t you? I have noticed that most liberals are for diversity as long as they don’t personally have to sacrifice for that diversity. As long as some other white person gets the shaft you’re O.K. with it. It’s very brave of you want diversity at someone else’s expense. I bet you even live in an all wjite neighborhhod. Very brave indeed.

First off, please dial down whatever stimulant you’re inhaling. You might be able to type coherently. I know that won’t help you learn to spell “hypocrite”, but it will at least help you in your struggles with the ‘h’ key.

Now, as to what Jane should or should not do. You clearly know nothing about her. Like most bigots, you instantly assume you know someone because you’ve seen one or two things she’s written that you don’t like. That you don’t even know what she does indicates that you haven’t done the least bit of checking about who she is or what she’s done before delivering your pronouncement. That you’re willing to say such things in complete ignorance of the person you’re addressing tells me that you’re not someone worth listening to on the subject of what anyone should do with his life.

Neither she nor anyone else here has advocated sacrificing the incomes of whites or any other ethnic group for the sake of another on these threads. If you’d done any serious checking on this site you’d find that’s an idea that most of us would find appalling. That you would think so seems to me to indicate that you’re the one with a sense of entitlement – that because you’re whatever you are you deserve a job or whatever it is you’re whining about more than those brown folks do. We’re just saying that’s not so.

Many clinics have something akin to a tanning machine that provides UV treatment to people with seasonal affective disorder. It really works. Seriously, speak with your physician about it – you will be glad you did.

Now they seem to be trying to one-up each other to see who can say the stupidest thing.

Ah already in the Festivus spirit. I love holiday company.

Did you see my Festivus carol a few weeks ago?

Get out into the sunlight for 10 minutes a day.

…

Hang on with your fingernails til the 27th, that’s the day that I can FEEL there is more light. ymmv

Good list, and hopefully we can all hang on. There’s not a lot of sunlight to be found in these parts, though. Exercise helps, too, BTW.

Why is it that, after all of the fine work we did in the year proceeding the elections, I can’t bear to read my favorite blogs anymore?

Of course my first stop is here. Then I browse my usual path of other favorites, then I try to watch Stewart and Colbert.

I get little joy from it anymore. The same brilliant commentary, snark, revelations. Always here and available. And yet…

Nothing ever changes. We see it, report it, call people on it, but nothing ever changes.

I know Teddy (Teddy!) feels like I do. Torches and pitchforks.

How do we make a difference now?

egregious, you will diagnose the sunlight deficit disorder and you will be correct. What else can I do?

Get out into the sunlight for 10 minutes a day.

Eat one serving of protein and a multivitamin.

Clamp down on your anger and your despair, they will still be there in January to fuel your work. In the meantime don’t let them destroy you.

Call your mother and your siblings. It’s Christmas.

Vastly reduce your expectations. For me, I am thrilled that I can now solve a puzzle while looking at the answer; a couple of days ago I couldn’t even do that.

Be very open about how sick/different/disabled you are in December. When you make a mistake or can’t do something, explain: “It’s December, and I’m not thinking clearly because of seasonal depression.”

Eat rather than drink.

Hang on with your fingernails til the 27th, that’s the day that I can FEEL there is more light. ymmv
