Today I DVRed news shows all day long to see what went on around the country. I now sit down to suffer through hours of mainstream media for YOU!

7:00 AM – Good Morning America

They keep calling it "a day without immigrants." Why don’t they just be honest and call it a day without illegal aliens. Immigrants are great! It’s illegals we don’t want. Uh oh, your favorite dry cleaner or restaraunt might be closed.

Goya Foods is shutting down today. I don’t know who they are, but I’m not buying there stuff. (They showed a picture of kidney beans, sick.)

They took some time to bash Rush Limbaugh. Some "legal analyst" claims he had 10,000 pills, but Drudge has a link saying the charge was only for 40 pills. The whole time their headline is "Did Limbaugh Get Off Easy?" which of course makes people think he did.

8:00 AM – Good Morning America

"Immigrants are flexing their economic muscle!" This has to be utterly frustrating for immigrants that migrated here legally. The media is lumping all immigrants into the same group. Not ALL immigrants are supporting the boycott!

So Good Morning America was pretty much pointless. They’re mainly scripted, so very little live coverage.

11:00 AM – ABC 7 Eyewitness News

Downtown LA at the beginning of the first march. Wow, this is going to be really painful listening to a bunch of buffoons.

One lady compared this to past civil rights battles. "It’s cyclical, where one group is marginalized until people band together and do something about it." This is NOT a civil rights battle. This is about people breaking the law and coming here illegally.

Someone is holding a sign that says "CREATE CONSCIOUSNESS: Don’t Bite The Hand That Wipes Your Ass."

Haha, vendors are selling flags and rally t-shirts. Isn’t that against the boycott?

In Riverside protestors were gathering. These folks, the National Alliance for Human Rights, are a little confused. They have signs that read "A Day Without Mexicans," "Stop Racism, We’re All God’s Children," and shirts that say "Stop Racism."

Their Eyewitness Poll shows that 32% of people support the boycott, and 61% oppose. Also 31% think they boycott will help achieve their goal, 19% no effect, and 48% think their will be backlash. We can hope. Politicians that like to change with the wind should be paying attention.

I see another sign that reads "I came here for a better life. Everybody deserves the same chance." No, they don’t! According to this idiot if they entire country of Mexico wanted to move here they should be allowed to. You DO NOT have a right to move here!

A sign reads "The White People Stold the Country…" and I think it ended with "From My Ancestors" but it was blocked. So some people think this is a civil rights movement for illegal Mexicans…and others saying white people stole this land. A little scary.

Haha, 50 illegals got caught trying to cross the border this morning.

Another sign reads "Please latin american countries boycott american goods and services." So he wants me to believe that he is a part of this country, but he’s telling other countries to boycott us?

Vincente Amador owns Atwater Screen and Glass said "I believe everybody forgets how much we contribute to this economy. We are a few but very strong in every aspect of the business world, but as a big group we are huge, and people seem to forget that we are here." You would think that congress made being an immigrant a felonyKarla.

Fed Alvarez said "They (illegals) take our jobs from us, they live on the streets, they go and get minimum wage jobs, get $3 jobs, and us Americans we’re out here collecting cans." I assume he’s homeless, but it’s the first anti-illegal thing I’ve heard (and from a slightly crazy homeless person at that.)

Another sign reads "We Are All Immigrants." No idiot, I was born here.

Karla Rodriguez, a high school student, skipped school. She said "There’s actually no point of going to school if they’re gonna pass a law that doesn’t make us go to school." What the crap are you talking about? Go back to school and actually learn something!

That was a lot more to report on than I expected, so I’ll start another post for all the protests from the afternoon.

I’m tired of people claiming to be “victims” and the government throwing out money to make them feel better. Here are some examples:

1) The Poor: Compared to the rest of the world you’re not, get over it! When people were “poor” 75 years ago they didn’t run to the goverment and expect a handout. No, you sucked it up and did what you had to to get by. Despite what the left would have you believe, if you’re poor it’s probably because you’ve earned it. Most of you won’t read that though, but simply put: don’t get pregnant until marriage, find a minimum wage job, and you’ll no longer be below the poverty line! Read that article.

2) Hurricane and other Natural Disaster Victims: Sorry your house fell down, but you should get insurance like the rest of us. Just because you’re poor (and we’ve established that was your fault), why should the government bail you out? I work hard and apply myself so I can afford insurance, so if my house does fall down, I’ll be covered. What is your excuse?

3) People that use Race, Gender, SES, or anything else to claim victim status: Start taking responsibility for yourself and stop blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. If you’re the victim of racism or sexism at work or some other institution and there is actual proof, by all means explore your legal avenues. What you are not allowed to do is run around crying that the reason you are not well off is everyone elses fault! How do you think it makes every successful minority feel when all you can talk about is how oppressed you are? You just sound retarded.

This is what the liberal left, and yes Mike the green party as well, will never understand. The minute the government says you no longer have to take care of yourself, people stop taking care of themselves. Let’s get back to the good old days where individuals, families, and churches took care of themselves, and the government had nothing to do with it.
