Texas Republican Debbie Riddle has proposed a bill that would fine or jail anyone who employs illegal immigrants — unless that immigrant cleans your house or works on your lawn. 

Riddle clearly thinks a $10,000 fine and two years in jail would  “inconvenience the rich folks,” says O. Ricardo  Pimentel in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. But “the  business guy trying to eke out a profit? Just too bad” for him, and the  rest of us. Maybe it’s time to “recognize that undocumented workers  across the board wouldn’t be here if there weren’t a demand.”

More about the bill and the response here. 

The Texas Legislature is the political equivalent of an internet troll.

This is so many things in addition to racist…

“Yeah, why isn’t Natalie Portman sleeping in a gutter somewhere, turning her big doe eyes up pitifully at every passing stranger, begging for government handouts and then giving birth to a sick baby, to be realistic? Doesn’t she know what kind of message it sends to the youth of America, her not being super poor and miserable at the Oscars?”

Mike Huckabee Trashes Natalie Portman’s Sinful Pregnancy (via bbook) • Guess he isn’t running for president after all. Don’t #*(@ with Natalie, OK? (via shortformblog)

Natalie Portman has done more good in five years than he will ever do in his disgraceful life. So what she gets pregnant before marriage? I wasn’t aware that we are still living in the 1950’s!

Wow. What a smug religious asshole. Divorce is less accepted in religious communities, so yeah, the divorce rate is lower. I’ve never noticed the divorce rate to be “much higher” for non-religious people than for people who consider themselves religious.
And most importantly, gay people do not “tear apart families and ruin lives.” Religious beliefs that homosexuality is an abomination tears families apart, however. What a load of bullshit.

Actually, the divorce rate for atheists is lower.
But really, this guy acts like he’s the second coming of Jesus, STFU dude!

Giving Transportation Security Administration agents a peek under your  clothes may soon be a practice that goes well beyond airport  checkpoints. Newly uncovered documents show that as early as 2006, the  Department of Homeland Security has been planning pilot programs to  deploy mobile scanning units that can be set up at public events and in  train stations, along with mobile x-ray vans capable of scanning  pedestrians on city streets.

“Let me tell you, what’s going on over there right now? Make no bones about it. That is pure, unadulterated evil. I don’t even care, I don’t even care if you think I’m crazy anymore. Because I have, I have a beautiful daughter. I have a wonderful 19 year old son who is a United States Marine. As a matter of fact, I know quite a few marines who will be willing to help these terrorists to an early meeting in paradise.” 
-Deborah Pauly 
Said to hundreds protesting outside of a Mosque where they were holding a fundraiser to help a women’s shelter.
So here is my open letter to her.
“Dear Deborah,
I know that you think because of your physical appearance that you are more “American” then Muslims are but make no bones about it, we are just as American. You speak of your son in the Marines as if no Muslims are in the army but there are Muslims in the Army. I personally know quite a few, here’s an interview I had with one of them. I’ve been to airbases as well. Have you?
Anyways you go on to say that what is happening there is pure evil. Really? People holding a gathering to save money for women’s shelters is evil? If that’s evil, I don’t want to make of your moral and ethics.
Lastly, you say you know a few marines would help send those ‘terrorists” to paradise. First off, look at the people you are protesting against. A mother with her children, one daughter so frightened by hate not knowing what to think. And when her daughter asks, “Mother, why do they hate us?” What should she respond? Because we wear a head covering just the way Saint Mary and the Nuns do? Because we follow the word of God and respect the Bible and Torah? Because of the actions of a handful, people judge 1.7 billion.
These are sights all too familiar. These scenes remind me of Elizabeth Eckford walking to school in Little Rock, Arkansas being shouted at. These sights remind me of times that I read about and thanked God that such ignorant and intolerant people didn’t exist anymore. People who judge others based on their color, Religion or race. But little did I know that those times were not over. They are still here. Your ignorance baffles me beyond what I thought possible and in a few years, whether one year or twenty years from now, photos of you will be put into textbooks were students as young as seven and eight will sigh and wonder “Who could be so ignorant?” But I can answer that question. People like you.
-From a “terrorist” who wouldn’t mind going to paradise early. Come at me bro.

Dear Deborah,
I live on a Marine Corps base that does prayer and worship services for these so called “terrorist” every Friday evening.
You don’t see us protesting, and screaming at them to “go back to their country.” to “beat their wives and molest their children” We don’t disrespect their prophet. We embrace them. Our Chaplain’s nurture their religious needs. Our Chaplains… as in members of the United States Military.
You should be ashamed of yourself. And your son should be ashamed that you use his title to try and promote hate, and fear among Americans. 
Come at me to, bro.
Signed,
A Marine Corps wife who thinks you’re bat shit crazy.

^ On behalf of Muslims everywhere, thank you.
