So....you want to be a citizen......eh?


I will, at some point, get to the democrats and their unmasking…..of themselves……and this moment I am a bit nauseous of the Cory Bookers, Diane Feinsteins’ and Kamala Head Up My Ass Harris…..so I need to ferment a little…..but let me talk to another issue.

If you are paying attention you know that the feds have pounced on North Carolina for voter fraud.  The state of North Carolina election officials, currently seats being held through an appointment by a democrat governor (I am just saying), have been caught with thousands of non-citizens on the voter roles, and they voted in the 2016 election, and after being discovered, were allowed to remain on the voter roles.  North Carolina…..a state that you would THINK would be above your typical leftist election fraud, I mean they are not Virginia or New York.  So, the feds are digging into it, this real crime, but don’t expect NC to get punished…..it is not like they were “colluding” or anything…..they were doing it right out in the open.

This whole “citizenship” thingie is a real problem for the left……and the reasons are legion, but in the end the left will stand up for anything and any law other than US citizens and US law.  They don’t want to amend the Constitution, they want to do away with it……they tell you that all of the time.  They don’t want to “abolish ICE”, they want “comprehensive immigration reform”, which will include, as part of it, abolishing the functions of ICE.  You gotta learn the lingo.

But the citizenship thing is easy….the rules are easy.  Yes (or no), everyone doesn’t get to be a citizen…..we have enough crooks and turds in our country now….I think the aforementioned Cory Booker proved that this past week.  I think that, while I was in the service, I helped five US Army soldiers, who enlisted as non-citzens, served the nation for five years, gain their citizenship.  Yes, it took personal attention, phone calls, timely paper work, and even a trip to the embassy on a few occasions….but it got done.  And think about it……is serving the nation in uniform too much of a price to pay for citizenship?  For the right to vote?  For the right to live in peace without having the feds at your door?  For the right to earn and receive the benefits of being an American?

Apparently it is.  For many people, apparently it is.

And I am not sure if it is a generational thing or not.  If it is, it transcends several generations.  Up until Bill Clinton actively dodged the draft, ad was celebrated for it, we expected many or most of our elected officials to have served….if not in combat at least I the country’s uniform.  And with all things, the democrats were hypocritical about it, giving George W Bush shit for having been in the reserve component but welcoming Barrack Obama, a man who would not have served THIS country if called to do so.  Then the left, and the media, the VAST number of whom cannot even report on the military with any accuracy, dove on Trump, a cadet but a person who used a legitimate deferral and did not serve.  And where I am headed with this is……military service ONCE was an entrée of sorts into business, or politics or leadership in general.  And not only does that not seem to be the case anymore, people seem to eschew military service.  John Kerry, years after famously turning his back on his country, successfully parlaying that repugnant behavior into being a democrat senator, encouraged people to stay in school, go to college or else they could end up in Iraq……a comment that could not have endeared him to any voters with kids IN Iraq.  Turns out…..staying in college and wracking up student debt isn’t really a win for anyone either.  I have heard no government official, elected official, advocate any form of military service as an encouragement or part of a pathway to citizenship…..it EXISTS it is simply never referred to as a partial solution to illegal immigration.

How did this happen?  How did our own elected officials, our professors, our children, so easily adopt the Clinton model of raping the nation while offering nothing in return?  Shouldn’t we be ASHAMED?  And don’t get me wrong….there is no REQUIREMENT….and I wish I had some transferrable skills from my time in that I could use now.  I can’t carpenter, plumb or do electricity (I CAN, but you can sure as hell tell that I did it).  I can’t work on my car (I don’t think that is unique given todays cars), I can’t weld……there are tons of things I wish I had just the slightest bit of skill at, that people have to do, that people make a living at (off of people like me), and I admire that.  I have held forth repeatedly on my admiration for farmers, for people that can do skilled labor jobs…..because I cannot.  I am not even sure Mike Rowe could mold this clay.  My point is that you are not a lesser person for not having served.

You ARE a lesser person for feeding off of the nation and giving nothing back.  If you lack the wherewithal, the talent, the skill……the citizenship….JOIN the service, where the uniform.  Prove that you can sacrifice something for a goal…..and I am not talking about the Colin Kaepernick bullshit sort of sacrifice…….but give for little tangible return…..

…..and you might find out you get something out of it…..one thing is certain…..it will make that citizenship thingie a little less onerous.
