Dumb And Dumber Headed To Texas Border
U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said on Friday that he is heading to the Texas-Mexico border this weekend to assess the current immigration crisis, and he will be joined by Michele Bachmann (R-Minn).
They will visit the areas of Brownsville, McAllen and Laredo, meeting with the Border Patrol and local officials. King has been a critic of immigration reform and has called for toughening border security, according to KCCI.
His jaw dropping statements such as immigrants weighing “130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert,” will only add to the problem.
Stuff King shouldn’t say again while visiting our Southern Border:
“We could also electrify this wire (on the border) with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would simply be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time.”
King comparing immigration laws to picking a dog: “You put out a beacon like the Statue of Liberty and who comes here? The most vigorous from every country that has donated legal immigrants to America. The cream of the crop. We’ve always had bird dogs around our place. In our family there’s a black lab and white lab, a yellow lab, and my brother has a chocolate lab. Well, you go in and you look at a litter of pups, and you watch them. You watch how they play — they run around a little bit — and what do you want? You want a good bird dog, and you want one that’s gonna be aggressive? Pick the one that’s the friskiest, the one that’s in games the most — not the one that’s over there sleeping in the corner. You want a pet to sit on the couch, pick the one that’s sleeping in the corner. That’s — so, you get the pick of the litter, you got yourself a pretty good bird dog. We got the pick of every donor civilization on the planet because it’s hard to get here; you had to be inspired to come. We got the vigor from the planet to come to America. Whichever generation it was, and then we taught our children that same thing.”
King on the United States’ official language, “One of the great things about America is we’ve been unified by a common language. That common language, of course, is English. Our language is getting subdivided by some forces of the federal government. It is time to speak with a common voice. The argument that diversity is our strength has really never been backed up by logic. It’s unity is where our strength is. Our Founding Fathers understood that. Modern-day multiculturalists are defying that.”
“When we give the welfare state, then people won’t be able to come out of it. It’s the biggest trap that people can have,” Michele Bachmann said in 2011.
Both politicians are “pro-life” Christians. It will be interesting to see how the two will reject children who are fleeing violence and still be OK with GOP Jesus.

I live about 30 miles outside of Washington DC and even in my neck of the woods we can actually feel the collective IQ in this area go up every time these two board a plane to leave town.

This could be a twofer if they contract communicable diseases, or gasp were kidnapped and held hostage for ransom by NRA terrorists. This may not end well. No siree! Bob.

Is King taking some kind of mind altering drugs too? What does he mean English is getting sub-divided? Does that mean he doesn’t want the Native American Tribes to speak their language or my Norwegian relatives to speak Norwegian? They do but use English in all the public sector areas. Or is he just singling out “
Debby's July 26th, 2014 at 19:26
Maybe he’s referring to the southern accent in some parts? I can’t understand some of them either. Maybe those southerners should work on that. At least for Rep. King’s sake. He seems to be easily confused and needs a lot of help and reassurance. Poor man. At least he’s not asking us to think like him or Bachman. That would be too much dumbing down for most People!

The way he mixes his metaphors is reminiscent of the word salad Sarah tends to toss.

That would be your man F&F Holder shooting up people.

Debby – you are making the assumption that King has a mind to alter.

Crazy people! I hope they aren’t going down there to shoot children!

Look on the bright side; maybe they’ll be detained.

You got it all wrong! They are going to the border to bring some children to their house!!

My first thought was Bachmann could be foster mother to 28 of them, like she claimed when running for prez.

All young boys, BTW.

She and Closet Marcus have to have some form of income while she’s in jail.

Neither of them are ‘pro-life’, they are actually ‘anti-abortion’. There’s a difference.
Bunya July 26th, 2014 at 20:20
I’ll go a step further and say they’re “anti safe abortion”.

Take a look at Bachmann’s face in the picture of above. It’s not a question of the lights being out and there is nobody home. It’s a question of having no foundation to build upon.

That was uncalled for. and boring . You liberals are out of material.

My guess is that any of the refugee’s who come up to King and ask for asylum will not be recognized because of their lack of cantaloupe calves. As for Michelle, well, she’ll be too busy looking for mirrors and microphones to notice them.

You have our Michelle mixed up with your Moosechelle.
