Letter to the Times: Bush & the immigrants
Aug. 1st, 2008 09:41 amA response to a rather horrifying editorial in the NYT ("The Jungle, Again"), about the rather remarkable and egregious persecution of workers in a slaughterhouse.
Of course the Bush Administration enjoys persecuting the poor and weak! How can anyone claim to be surprised by this? The overprivileged sociopaths that now rule this nation, virtually unfettered by the slightest taint of opposition by the supine Democrats, like nothing more than torturing the helpless.
George W. Bush himself displayed this tendency clearly, at an early age, with his love for stuffing firecrackers in frogs in order to watch them explode. We have allowed people without consciences to seize this country. How can we pretend to be surprised when they act like the monsters that they are?
Having grown up with people like this, I've seen first-hand that many of them are raised to see the poor and helpless as nothing more than animals: legitimate prey for their amusement.
God help this country.
