Looks like we missed a fiesta grande outside the Supreme Court yesterday, where everyone gathered to gaze in awe at Antonin Scalia as he called your abuelita a bandita. Most of those gathered, according to our spies on Twitter, were just huge Mexicans being a bunch of gangsters whenever they weren’t busy napping under sombreros and cactuses, but a few brave Real Merkans came forth to drive them off with the power of a boot scoot boogie. Would you like some lyrics? OF COURSE you would like some lyrics! What’re you a comminist?!
If it’s not too much to ask could you please speak Engleesh. Engleesh is my langueege it’s the langueege of this land. And every time it’s posted here (?) I should understand. I do not live in China, Mexico, no foreign place. Engleesh is the langueege of these United States.
Good song you guys! But is there maybe another? Yes there is another, and it is even greater, if such a thing is even possible! Fuck you Leonard Cohen, why don’t you move to Arizoney and learn from some champions how to write a real music, for freedom!
Is English-only the only topic these awesome artists cover? No! There is also this Grace Slick-flavored rocker: Wake up wake up look around/There’s a new world order coming to your town/They’re taking our freedoms away/We’ll no longer have any say. We gotta stand together one and all or the Constitution it’s gonna fall. We’ll no longer be the United States/We’ll be the USS of A!
Aw man, we miss The Nuge.

Fuck you, teahadists. Fuck you hard. Go Galt, we want our country back.
Needs moar Prussian Blue
Possibly NSFW, if you have, you know, humans working near by. I wouldn't click on the link.
Balance it out with "Ella"
"They’re taking our freedoms away/We’ll no longer have any say. We gotta stand together one and all or the Constitution it’s gonna fall."
Looks like someone doesn't realize that George W. Bush is no longer President and our freedoms and the Constitution are safe again.
Word. It looks like someone didn't notice Bush and Cheney jumping the General Lee over the Bill of Rights on a weekly basis for 8 years.
well… sort of .. but not exactly
"our freedoms and the Constitution are safe again."
if only
Tits or GTFO.
Or,
Senos a salir.
I'm really tired of real America.
Yeah. They're nothin' but a bunch of posers…
So, Cohen's "Democracy is Coming to the USA" was a fantasy, and not a prediction? Well:
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
And now you owe me feel better kisses on my tear stained cheeks. Way to break a girl Prommie. Man I love me some LC.
Big hug. It'll be alright, as bad as it looks, its always looked this way, forever, to the people who can see.
They’re taking our freedoms away/We’ll no longer have any say.
Fuck. If only. You assholes haven't' shut up since 2009.
Disagree. Make it 1829 or so.
If these guys were half as oppressed as they whine about, they would've been used as mortar in a giant Obama statue by now. I'd ask these guys which particular freedoms are being stolen, except it would involve engaging these mouth-farters.
we're living in the USSA!!
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out…
Indeed. They remind me of a tryst I once had with a certain Olga Von Skullcracker…
WORST MELVENS TRIBUTE BAND EVAR!!!!!
Chest voice libel!!
(Engleesh? Huh? I tutor ESL students, some of whom are Spanish speakers, and this is just wrong!)
Dammit, how many times do these idiots have to lose before they get the message? It's over, wingtards, a minority has already been elected president, and that toothpaste ain't going back in the tube.
B-but he was elected by Chicago Politics! (i.e. popular vote by a majority of the citizens)
And we don't recognize the flouride in your so-called "tooth paste."
Is that Carly Bobby?
"Taking our freedoms away" = "Taking our freedoms away to be as racist and homophobic as we wanna be."
Man, I'm an old white guy, and white people are really p***ing me off with this crap.
Constitution comprehension FAIL! (Federal jurisdiction is written right in there near the top, you mexi-haters)
Hell, there was even a war to figure out which was more dominant — the feds or the states. And the states people lost.
It was in all the papers and everything …
LEBERALZ MEADIA!!!!!!!!!
Well, their parents threw a lot of money on music lessons.
I'm so glad every immigrant that has ever come to the U.S. throughout history — whether Mexican, Italian, Russian, German, Chinese, Dutch, Norwegian, et alia — all spoke English.
Oh, wait … that's right. It's only one of the hardest fucking languages to learn which is why so many immigrants did not, in fact, speak English. Their kids did by osmosis, basically, but at home it was their native language.
So, yeah, these clowns can fuck the hell off.
Yep.
I'm constantly amazed by the perseverance of students of English.
I once had an Italian student that just wanted to memorize the "rules" of English. I had a hell of a time convincing her that English, (unlike her language), was awkward, and made up of many exceptions to the rules.
Oh, one more thing:
Could someone please ask one of these "THEY'RE TAKING OUR FREEDUMZZ!!111!!" folks what freedoms, exactly, they've lost since Obama took office.
Just. One.
Freedom to be ruled by all white guys.
Freedom to ignore minorities and wimminz.
The freedoms to force women to get pregnant.
The freedoms to force your sister to get pregnant.
FYP
He sure didn't take away the freedom to be a douch bag.
You simply must stop confusing their raging with your facts.
The freedom for insurance coverage on their children to end at age 22?
I know it's not what they're singing about, but apparently we no longer have the right to peaceably assemble, and the NSA is allowed to spy on domestic citizens whenever they want and publicly deny that they're doing it.
So that's two.
Well, yeah, but I'm inclined to say MAYBE that happened just a wee bit before Obama took office?
Here's one (of many): http://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/NDAA
The noose gets tighter and tighter every year, the person holding the rope just changes every 4 or 8 years.
Most immigrants (Mexican, Chinese, Haitian, Dominican, and so on) are nicer, harder working, and more mentally stable than these know-nothing nativists.
True story: My mother taught an immigrant from Senegal English as second language. He's a very intelligent man whose native tongue was Portuguese Creole and was self-educated as a mechanic. He is one the kindest men I've ever met. Before retiring from the local fire department I was able to convince our Human Resources staff to employ him as a mechanic to repair and rebuild fire trucks. He's the 1st guy at work and the last one to go home.
Your comment is important in that it's people from other countries that have made this nation great. This fact is lost in a lot of the bullshit and brevado the TeaTards bloviate.
My grandparents did not speak English. One grandfather was without papers. He did fine and so have his children and grandchildren in various productive walks of life. This teatard anti- immigrant crap gets me real angry.
Yeah, pretty much all our forefathers were real hard working. It usually takes two or three generations of easy living in this soft land to make you rotten, selfish and ignorant. We whiteys have been here longer, but the immigrants will eventually catch us up.
"We're rednecks, we're rednecks,
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground…"
"Wake up wake up look around/There’s a new world order coming to your town/They’re taking our freedoms away/We’ll no longer have any say."
Pure poetry. They're like Nick Drake lyrics….only they suck.
The freedoms to be as racist and homophobic as they wanna be. [repeat of above comment]
The Right wingnuts are such cry babies.To bad their boy Mittens is going to give them 4 more years to whine.Teahadist would be nothing without they're hate.
i say this all the time, but still!
from your mouth to god's ear.
"Engleesh is my langueege"
Perhaps a little remedial instruction in spelling or pronunciation is in order here.
Not only are these assholes stupid, not only do they not realize they are stupid, but they are actualy stupid enough to think everyone else is more stupid then they are. I mean, how stupid can they be?
Imagine the stupidest thing in the universe. Are you picturing it now, do you have a mental vision? Well, they are even more stupid than that.
There is nothing lower than the human race except teabaggers.
Sorry Sam.
It's that whole Dunning-Kruger thingie.
How is Ray Stevens not involved in this?
And then the band put away their instruments and headed for Taco Bell for some good authentic Mexican food.
So there was Scalia, decked out in his famous blue raincoat, perched like a bird on a wire in front of the microphones, and all he could say was "Suzanne? Hallelujah!"
I remember him well in the Chelsea Hotel.
I am NOT listening to that shit this morning. No!
Seconding that motion, except I never will. I'd sooner let a pregnant earwig enter my ear than that crap.
Oh man, I was JUST telling my friend about how my mom would tell us about the pregnant earwig when we were little! He was jealous; I suggested he steal a child to tell it to.
I've got an idea that'll shut up them up: let's propose a constitutional ammendment establishing grammatically correct English as the official language of the United States of America. Who's "apposed", now, teabaggerman?
teabagger come and me want go home.
The fucking Balkans look untied compared to our idiocracy.
Dyslexics of the world Untie!
I hate when there furoners get into emerica and don't talk american no good.
Goddam these people make me so ashamed to be white.
Ah Leonard Cohen, my love. In that same vein, I would like to paraphrase my new personal hero Townes Van Zandt (who did not make it to be an old ass cool guy singer)
The fucking sun is burning out. I do not have time for such incredibly stupid assholes. (Like Antonin Scalia. Fuck that guy, seriously, completely and forever. I gotta go lunge or lift or punch a thing. Wonkette is the perfect workout motivator, when it is not aiding in my would be alcoholism.)
Aye, aye yi yi, su madre's a Frito Bandito.
Here's what someone should have played opposite them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJUuxouy1Fg&fe…
I'd really like to see some legislation to outlaw regional accents in this country too. I didn't really "get" the Sopranos until I got the DVD set with subtitles. And my Boston relatives? Can't hardly understand a word they say, it's like a damn foreign language comin' outta their pieholes.
You should hear Pittsburghers talk. It's like you took out a piece of the brain and replaced it with a cashew.
I always laugh when my dog gets an itchy butt, and he drags his fanny on the carpet until the itch is gone. I call it the "Butt Scootin' Boogie," and it is the same as "The Boot Scootin' Boogie": I find humor in itchy assholes.
I call it the "Butt Scootin' Boogie
This I have used as well, whenever my dog takes a notion — go figure. We are on a parallel plane today.
We always called that "Mowin' the Lawn." Now I have an urge to scratch.
Your carpet must smell great.
Antonin Scalia is to law what Ted Nugent is to intelligence and sanity.
Is that Miss Teen USA South Carolina up there singing?
I'm scared to click on the link.
Okay, I clicked it and it was even worse than I was afraid of. I'm probably going to be in a bad mood for the rest of the day over it too.
BTW, I thought Shawna Forde was locked up.
Windows software is good because one can have the pasties thread open on the side while reading this thread.
Who's the enemy here? The people who rides a bike at dawn in the rain to his job washing dishes and prepping in the back of the local Cracker Barrell? So the owner, a right-wing conservative, can make higher profits than if they paid an American? So conservative real Americans can eat there cheaper because literally everyone in the kitchen is an illegal alien hired because they work cheap?
It would have been funny if José Jiménez sang it (Bill Dana: My name — José Jiménez)
Hey racist lady: Tu mama primera, y tu mama des pues.
Needs moar "Una Paloma Blanca — ah-ahhhhh" ♫
(I just learned the other day Slim Whitman is still alive. Long live the reigning King of the TV-Record-Album-Advertising-Blitz!)
We’ll be the USS of A!
What's wrong with SuperStates? Why do these people want the soft bigotry of low expectations?
What that really needed was the justices of the Supreme Court to come out and tell that woman her the First Amendment only applies to good singing. They'd have said in Latin, as is their legalistic wont.
Tough titties Fox news-gal wannabe. In America people can speak any language they want. You should be proud of a nation that welcomes people from all over the world.
When people in some Little Italy neighborhood speak Italian, it's all charming and preserving their culture. But someone speaks Spanish in the grocery store and the Tealiban is all "self-deport before I stand my ground and shoot your ass".
If you don't, don't buy anything from them. FREE MARKETZZZ!!!111!!
I see they're not called "Know Nothings" for nothing.
I didn't even watch that and… ugh, Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ. If anyone needs me, I'll be at Cute Overload.
the word 'dingbat' is not used enough.
god forbid anybody should be bilingual.
no seriously, god forbid.
D'accord!
There’s a new world order coming to your town/They’re taking our freedoms away/We’ll no longer have any say.
The new world order sounds just like the old world order.
How many absolute fucking morons live in this country anyway? Seriously, I would put the number at about 70% dipshit. It's getting tiresome…
Rock n' Amero over.
Bumblebee Man haz a sad.
KKKuntry RoKKK or Swastika Swing, take your pick.
Everybody deals with change their own way. Personally, I've been trying to learn Spanish as fast as I fucking can. I'm sure that would qualify me as some sort of Quisling in local circles, if they knew what that meant.
EGG-ZACK-LEE!
OK then … we just don't want any Nick Drake libel around here.
He's the only folk singer that Baconz likes.
