**cartfanhef** , you should know that the mods here frown on posting of non-original material. And that jingoistic tripe is about as non-original as it gets. Secondly, while some of our Founding Fathers were Christian, others were Deist and Unitarian. And George Washington thought that his religious beliefs were none of your damn beeswax. You have a nice day now and come back when you have some ORIGINAL nonsense to post. ---

**Already in Use** : When I got this for the fourth time, I replied to the mil and pretty much said that to her. Her reply was that I was entitled to my opinion. Which is nice. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mangetout \* > what was your point again? I’m not sure, but think it boils down to ‘Immigration was a good idea back in my grandma’s day’. ---

Oh, what the hell, Ive already pissed you all off, why not just tweek a few more of those “Straight Dope(from the Pravda)” funny bones… Oh, btw, take a chill pill people…Remember I didnt author the original message…I just liked the wording of it and wanted to see if anyone could find something wrong with it…seems I found the right (or left) room… Enjoy… Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with “Clinton Soup,” in honor one of the nation’s most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water. Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will begin production in Canada this year. When Clinton was asked what he thought about foreign affairs, he replied “I don’t know, I never had one.” American Indians have nicknamed Bill Clinton “Walking Eagle” because he is so full of crap he can’t fly. Clinton lacked only three things to have become one of America’s finest leaders: integrity, vision, and wisdom. Clinton was doing the work of three men: Moe, Larry & Curly. Revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.” You know, politicians and diapers have one thing in common. Both should be changed regularly, and for the same reason! Clinton will be recorded in History as, "The only President to do HANKY- PANKY between BUSHES ---

About that Muslim woman with the driver’s license: She was not an immigrant. She was an American citizen who had converted to Islam. And I think that explains a lot about that whole cockeyed lawsuit nonsense. You see, if she HAD been an immigrant – let’s say from a Muslim country – say, Pakistan, for example – simply having a driver’s license at ALL would have been quite a jump. It is my understanding that most women there do not drive. Hell, it is my understanding that they don’t leave the fraggin’ HOUSE unless their husband or father gives the okay. It also occurs to me that an immigrant would not be so presumptuous… or so stupid… as to challenge the laws of her host country. Particularly considering some of the laws of her own country. No… no… the more I examined the case, the more I realized that what we had here was a situation of a person who had decided that she had a RIGHT to something, and was prepared to throw lawyers at the situation until it settled to her satisfaction. The only people I know of who routinely act like this to the point of stupidity are the Americans, the Canadians, and the French. No, this woman was as American as they come, and as soon as I had all the facts, I wondered why I hadn’t realized it sooner… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-really-does-say-it-all/184555.md?page=1)
