Please send letters to the editor on immigrants' rights

There is a lot of coverage of immigrants’ rights rallies in today’s NJ papers. Please write letters to the editor in response to articles such as

Be sure to mention Amnesty’s Jailed Without Justice Report (http://www.amnestyusa.org/uploads/JailedWithoutJustice.pdf) and call on Congress to support HR 1215, The Immigration Oversight and Fairness Act. (You can thank Holt, Rothman, and Payne for their support.)

Reading your entry in "Tims El Salvador Blog" it becomes more than obvious that you are an ignoramous. Are you perhaps the janitor at Amnesty International?

You may have a degree, but you sir... show yourself to be an idiot and a fool. I ask myself how it's possible that Amnesty can have someone of your low calibre using their name. What a shame!

Ooh, anonymous calling me names! (El Visitador, perhaps?)

I assume you mean my post (not on behalf of Amnesty) arguing for a Constitutional ban on marraige between homosexuals and heterosexuals. Yes, this was part in jest. But it is also a serious prblem. Many gays and lesbians feel forced to hide their true selves by marrying "beards." This leads to very miserable marraiges, very miserable kids, and lots of adultry. Why do gays and lesbians marry straight people? Because:

1. They fear discrimination and seek to blend in.
2. They can't marry the peole they are actually want to marry.

Banning gay marriage would only perpetuate this problem on both counts.

BTW, my father was custodian at the Hillview public school in New Providence, NJ. So I'll just take the janitor comment as a compliment!

Yes, I hit the nail right smack on the head didn't I... It's pretty easy to tell your real self and your upbringing by your obviously inferior intellect.

You should thank your lucky stars that a custodial person like you even has pencil pushing desk job...

You are definitely a transparent ignoramus.

Wow, still not willing to use any names.

Again, I consider that Janitor remark to be a compliment. Some of us are proud of our class heritage. Nobody handed anything to me on a plate. From the vitrol you direct against Janitors, my guess is you can't say the same thing. (You hit your own thumb with proverbial hammer here!)

Also, anonymous, please explain exactly what you find so ignorant. All you seem to say is that I am an "ignoramous." What is YOUR position on the issue? If--as your messages imply--you are against gay marriage (why else would you be attacking me?), try explainig your reasoning. Do you WANT gay people to remain deeply closeted by marrying straight people in loveless marriages? My position is simply that people should be free to be themselves.

Oh, and why are you posting on this blog instead of Tim's El Salvador Blog where I originally posted?

Good for you, my sincere complements. You seem comfortable with your lineage and your seem to also know and understand your place and social limitations.

Although uncommon in today's world, but everyone should know their limitations.

I personally find disgusting those social misfits and non-conformist resentful types who seem to think that their "fair share" is in someone else's pockets.

I absolutely agree that all work aggrandizes, of course… and that Janitorial work is included.

Now, as for your other additional comments, believe what you like. It would seem more than obvious that my initial observations were stimulated by your public comments in which you waltzed in front of the public showing the tear in your façade.

How can anyone take you seriously.

Ignoramus... is this not your Blog? After all, you yourself gave it as your own. No?

Remember that glory is fleeting but mediocrity is forever.

That minor personages such as Lawrence M. Ladutke put-on display the prestigious badge of AI while publicly flaunting his personal ignorance and inferior lineage, aren’t doing Amnesty International any favors. After observing the antics and banter of this AI representative/employee, though he may be of lesser importance, who can take the AI organization as a whole seriously. After all, clowns are what make-up a circus.

Just ban this clown!

"Lineage"... what a laugh. This person's writing style reminds me of Ignatius J. Reilly.

Lawrence M. Ladutke said...

Joe,

There is apparently no need to ban the clown, as you put it. Just make it so he has to take some responsibility by signing his name and he stops posting.
