I have to put up this post from Cavey about a letter to the editor in the Las Vegas Review Journal. He is absolutely right about the rationale being flawness. Unfortunately, those who espouse this in the normal context are probably so clueness that they won't even grasp the truth about the point the author is making.
Keeping Everything In Context Were they REALLY party crashers?What a first rate letter to the editor. I thought this was just an internet hoax when I first saw it, until I did some research.
The rationale is flawless.
To the editor:
I don't understand why the White House is so upset about the two party crashers at Barack Obama's steak dinner the other night.
Is it really appropriate and politically correct to call them party crashers just because they trespassed on Mr. Obama? Does that make them criminals? Isn't that discrimination? Shouldn't they be rewarded for such bold and brave behavior? Maybe they were just trying to feed their family?
I would suggest that it's more appropriate to call them "undocumented guests."
Just because they weren't officially invited doesn't mean they should be treated like criminals. Maybe they should get free health care, free housing, free legal services and free White House green cards so next time they can enter legally. And they should be able to bring all of their relatives and family members, too.
How can Mr. Obama be mad at them just because they crossed over some arbitrary man-made border? They were there only to do the things that regularly invited guests didn't want to do. (Like hang out with Joe Biden.)
How can the White House punish these poor oppressed undocumented visitors?

I see you found my article. I'm glad you liked it. I am especially greatful to you for having the integrity and honesty to attribute it properly. I have seen it all over the country with other people's names on it. I really appreciate your honesty. It is on Youtube as Congressman Poe from Texas reads it on the floor of the US Congress. Unfortunately through no fault of his, it is attributed to someone named Alicia Church. She actually stole the article and submitted it to several publications as the author. Congressman Poe had no idea she was a fraud. Anyway, Thank you again for your integrity and for posting my article. Best regards, Brian K. Shoemake, Pahrump, NV www.correctpolitically.com
