Our "chosen ones," those Great Washed there in Washington, who were chosen by We, the People, herein known as the Great Unwashed, have done very, very little in the way of urging that immigration laws are obeyed.
Certainly our highest executive officer, one of the Greatest Washed, has done precious little along those lines. In fact, it seems as though he has done everything in his power to completely ignore the matter unless he is in the process of making sure our Border Guards are properly guarded in prison for performing the work they were hired to do.
I have become completely jaded because even though it took much too long to come to my senses, I have learned that the "Great Washed" have no interest whatsoever in the Great Unwashed.
The only things they care about are getting elected and re-elected, and, along the way, stuffing their drawers and any other piece of apparel with as much of the green stuff as they possibly can from any source they can.
That is what the Great Washed care about. They've got theirs. Why should they care about the Great Unwashed? The Great Unwashed comprise just another source.
Today we barely squeaked by in squashing one great, big amnesty bill called the "DREAM Act." If the other side had gotten eight more votes, we would be staring at millions of amnesty seekers happily showing us one of their fingers, without our having recourse to do anything about it. We would be helpless to stem the tide. But the Great Washed will make a comeback if possible, and we must be ready for them.
Soon the Senate will be voting on a farm bill that I believe awards millions upon millions of dollars in farm subsidies to "gentlemen farmers" and big corporations. Included among those farmers are a couple of Senate members, potato farmers, on the Agriculture Committee. You don't suppose for a minute that either of these "Great Washed" would vote not to award themselves farm subsidies, do you? And how about the big corporations receiving subsidies? You don't suppose they would vote against subsidies there, do you?
It is believed that one year one of these potato farmers received a subsidy of a little over two hundred thousand dollars. The other is believed to have received "only" a little over a hundred thousand.
Makes you want to be a potato farmer, doesn't it? The only thing is, you'd need to be one of the Great Washed.
Who would want to mix with the majority of that bunch? There are a few exceptions, and I have mentioned them in some blogs and comments, but they are few indeed.
For instance, if Jeff Sessions or Tom Coburn were in the running for the Republican nod, I would be torn, indeed. Why hasn't somebody noticed them and dragged them into the fray? Please.
I'll let you all in on a secret: I am not only one of the Great Unwashed, I am one very angry Great Unwashed.
