Got a kick out of a chain e-mail today…
——————————–
Thank you Mr. President!
A friend actually called the Michigan Dept. of Human Services, but got a busy signal. However, he found on the website for them in the link below and sure enough, on the right side of the page, there is an application for food assistance PDF file in English, Spanish and Arabic! I opened the file to see for myself and its there alright.
Have we gone completely nuts!!?
THE CAMEL’S NOSE IS OFFICIALLY IN THE TENT IN MICHIGAN!!!
Muslim men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow multi marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up as extended family on welfare and other free Government programs!
*****(has anyone reading this blog met an American Muslim with 2-4 wives? I’m not just making a point, I’m legitimately curious…i’ve myself met polygamist Christians but surprisingly no Muslims…and a culturally insensitive part of me actually wants Christians to have the higher ground in this department.)
Michigan has the highest population of Muslims in the United States. When President Obama took office the United States paid several millions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians, (All Muslim), immigrated here from Palestine. Why? I have no idea, do you! We don’t pay for other persons to immigrate here, and I’m sure that some of those Muslims moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslims already established there.
So now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic!
Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for themselves, and putting them in our welfare system?
Press 3 for Arabic .
This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely, for, as far as I know, no public announcement, or opportunity to vote on this was offered to the American people. They’re just adopting an official stance, and very likely using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or approval.
The following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance page, (as in Food Stamps etc). You won’t have to scroll far before you see the assistance-letters options for…(get this)…..English, Spanish, and ARABIC !!!
When did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? Will we soon have to listen to our governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of “pressing 3 for ARABIC?”
Check it out for yourself.
Please inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is outrageous! The camel’s nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the tent! YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!

Let me preface the following rant by saying that the message was sent to me by one of my greatest friends, who no doubt got a lot of chuckles from the message for the same reasons as myself. I am not attacking those who send such messages, as I always, ALWAYS truly enjoy them. This is entirely a poke of fun with my frustration directed to those people who truly believe in the unquestioned validity of such messages…particularly people who actually believe our president has the power to import foreigners en mass using tax dollars. such people whom, in all likelihood, will never find themselves for any reason reading my blog…ever…so I guess I’m kind of wasting my time……………..Drat….
Applying the above author’s logic that this is a recent emergency, you should know that the problem actually came into existence one fateful day when I was learning Michigan history in a 4th grade classroom at St. Francis of Xavier Catholic School…
You see, that day I learned there is this particular city in Michigan with a deceptively American sounding name which has a scandalous majority of middle eastern folks. Don’t recall the exact numbers, but at the tender age of 8 I became horrifyingly aware that Michigan had a higher Arabic population than most, and it was growing at a dangerous and threatening rate.
By the time I was 18, good Christians would be an historical footnote in the good state of Michigan.(wait a minute!…….?)
Don’t know what the heck Bush Sr. and Mr. Clinton were thinking letting all these Arabs kill the christians move into Michigan(maybe they just wanted to dump arabs into the worst economy in the United States…”we’ll show them!”)…but obviously Obama, having an arabic name himself, has recently permitted this to go way too far.
As a McClaine, I know If I was president I would have an insatiable urge to invite the Irish to come over in droves. Obama is no doubt doing the same thing…but with Arabs!(cue dramatic brass three-note)
Obviously these folks had no right to congregate in the boiling cess-pool that is suburban Detroit, but someone messed up and let it happen. I remember my disappointment in my high-school French class when I learned that Arabic was spoken by nearly two times as many people in the state!(really!?). It was obvious what the Arabs were planning…that they were going to take over the world using Dearborn Michigan as their hub…spreading Muslinism like wildfire through Toledo, the Upper Peninsula, Wisconsion, and *shudder*, even parts of Canadia…
Myself being a humble man, I kept quiet. I now regret this. It wont be long now before the Arabs have a majority share of the Green Bay Packers and are forcing a name change to the Jihad Bay Talibackers. Who knows what could happen next!? Thank god someone is finally making a stand.
Okay, that was fun…now for the boring editorial part:
So… our tax-dollars are being wasted on the Arab language. I’ll admit, that’s a valid concern…I’m no expert(very few of us are), but let me use my limited brain capacity to think about this for a moment.
*THINKING************************************************************
…hrm…i know I’m a weirdo…, but it actually makes sense to me to have a absurdly large numbers of people filing government paperwork in their most familiar language. When In South Africa for example, it is a blessing to have everything translated from Afrikaans to English, and you know what? Their bureaucracy is quite a bit more efficient for having their two most common languages on all their forms. Not only does it save time and money, but it no doubt saves a lot of headache for the government who has to deal with me.
Is it crazy to make tax revenue more efficient? Is our government stupid to make sure there are no excuses for dodging the system? By putting forms in arabic(and…uh-oh…hiring some multilingual over unilingual staff), you can call fraud exactly what it is with no legal fuss-ups or crazy folk contributing to the epic tax-revenue fail that we as Americans seem to so love and adore.
I remember a few years back some folks were making a stink in Texas because people who were multilingual(that’s yankee for spanish-talkin’) were given preference for some bureaucratic positions. Weeelll this didn’t pass over too well with the hardcore right wingers. I guess they weren’t too happy that a person who is more qualified for a job actually get that job. Call me crazy but letting the better man win is one of my favorite cruxes of the Republican platform…but this…it kind of hurts my brain trying to figure out what exactly the right is going for when they let leak this particular form of slanting. It’s not just one side, either, it’s all of us.
This lazy, choose-a-camp thought process frightens me…it gives American voters an excuse to not use their brains at all…just pick a side and bash the other with fictional stories. It’s scary to me because it works…this is how America chooses most of its politicians.
In conclusion, the Arabic issue seems to me more like an attempt at fiscal efficiency, not a crazy liberal bend-over-and-take-it-in-the-*ahem* that the original author seems to imply. Efficiency makes sense. It’s what draws so many of us to the republican ideal in the first place. So why are some folks so busy bashing a system that should improve efficiency, improve tax revenue, and waste less government time and money?
Unfortunately, i’m forced to conclude that the author’s actual concerns have very little to do with fiscal responsibility…
