The HAT People: We Don't Want No Stinking Diseases

The Greenville News of Greenville, South Carolina ran a story about 131 of 286 “foreign” workers at a poultry plant testing positive for tuberculosis. Two of the workers had an active form of TB. That is a large number for a disease that was theoretically eradicated in this country years ago. It is also an alarming statistic. There have been similar stories coming out of Border States in recent years. The facts about the increase of diseases, which were uncommon in the US, have been suppressed for the most part by the MSM. We do not want to disparage the illegals by telling the American people uncomfortable truths.

It is difficult to imagine why Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would be leading the fight to dole out amnesty on a mass scale given the danger to his constituents. I guess he expects to replace those who succumb to disease by importing new ones.






Next time you are in a restaurant and you watch a “foreign born” worker clearing a table, see them harvesting farm products or working in meat processing plants ask the question what are these companies doing to protect the health of their customers? Do they test their employees for communicable diseases? Are you being exposed to diseases so a company can employ cheaper labor? Are you exposing your children to new and terrible diseases from illegal immigrant children when you drop them off at school?

Well, not to worry. At least it cost less to have these jobs performed for you…

The HAT People: Harry The Competent

Harry Reid called American generals incompetent. It would be interesting to know what scale he was using at the time. I, for one, prefer a scale of success. Someone who is competent at their job or skill will be able to demonstrate their competence with accomplishments. So, how does Majority Leader Reid stack up on the success scale?

He has 6 months of senate leadership without passing one major piece of legislation he has supported. Yes, the senate did pass a military funding bill but not before every bill supported by Reid was killed or vetoed.

He has managed to orchestrate several land deals, which have enriched his own personal accounts. You say, that is personal and not in the public interest. Exactly. He used his office to advance his own finances at the expense of the American taxpayer. Quite the accomplishment.

He has managed to throw tax dollars to relatives who are lobbyists. Again, not really helping the nation but promoting his family. But it is a success, nevertheless.

He has managed to lower the standards of one of the nation’s highest offices while the MSM and liberal bloggers continue to give him a pass. That is his greatest success. Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to the feds about a non-crime and received jail time. Reid lies on a daily basis to America and remains in office while still earning the big political bucks. That’s success! That’s competence!!!

Well, I guess Harry Reid does know what it means to be competent.
