Beating Up On Babies


Now the Republicans are beating up on babies.

Senators Jeff Sessions (R. AL), Lindsey Graham (R. SC) and Mitch McConnell (R. Kentucky) want to revoke the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment which says if you're born here, you're a citizen - no matter what. Graham says "they" just come over here to "drop babies" meaning that Mexican pregnant women storm the border as soon as their water breaks to insure that their babies are born on U.S. soil and are born U.S. citizens. Graham claims that our forefathers didn't know that immigration would develop into such a problem and they didn't intend the birthright citizenship clause to be taken literally.

That's kind of funny because the Republicans claim that our forefathers clearly meant that the "right to bear arms" of the Second Amendment was indeed literal in all respects. We're shooting ourselves and each other every day over nothing and everything and clearly have let the violence get out of control. But the Republicans say tsk, tsk, the right to have a gun is in the constitution which, by the way, allows babies born here to illegal aliens to have guns, too.

Scary, really scary.

Howling,
