Is anyone annoyed by the rant from the left on immigration? Every time I hear the horrible names they call conservatives I wish they'd just take a breath. I've been call a racist for being Republican. Really? So many thoughtful, considerate and balanced people have just come unglued with their words.
I guess for no other reason than mental therapy, it dawned on me to go witness a naturalization ceremony, presuming it would make me feel good about American and what a great and welcoming country it is. As you might have seen in past blogs, it's hard to find someone to join me. Fortunately my friend Tommy is always available. He's a bagger at Fry's and off on Fridays. Here's Tommy with Mrs. Justice when we arrived at 9:30 Friday at the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse in downtown Phoenix. Didn't know she was so tall.
I haven't attended a naturalization since my friend Paul (God rest his soul) was naturalized from Canada 20 years ago, but I had an idea what to expect. It would be the emotional lift this racist needed and all Americans, particular all the haters on the left should see. Federal Justice David G. Campbell presided this morning over 61 candidates from 25 countries. This happens twice a day, four days per month. Here's the swearing in being read by the clerk and repeated by the candidates. It contains such wonderful words of freedom and liberty and obligation. All members of the armed services and veterans were asked to stand and be recognized. Four new Americans spoke at the ceremony. All had a similar perspective of joy and a long journey. Not so much the length of the naturalization process but the long life journey to this day in their life. A former Filipino woman was great but the woman formerly from Guadalajara Mexico was inspiring. Again, messages all the haters should here. Concluded with The Pledge of Allegiance rather than at the beginning for obvious reasons, then The Star Spangled Banner and ended with Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA. I was balling. Unfortunately Tommy's flag from the previous picture went over the railing mid ceremony. No one died. I got to shake a few hands and say "welcome" when we left. A great feeling. Tommy said..."Something different today for a change."
The Donald even made an appearance. Or as new Congresswoman Tlaib (D-MI) would say at her swearing in last month, "The Mother-fucker." (I don't think she's been to the mosque in awhile)
Now before you rush judgment with her, let me say I've been to Detroit and I'm pretty sure MF is a greeting. Anyway, POTUS said today was going to be really really good, and maybe the best best day ever.
So here's the new faces of America you racists. I've grown to marvel at the liberal use of that hurtful word. You all should be hurt by someone trying to win votes with it.
Speaking of that, leaving we noticed Mrs. Obama was coming next week to make more money. Tommy said, "She's cute. I wouldn't mind her being my caregiver."
Finally did I mention it was Tommy's birthday today? 64. Robin got him a nice Day of the Dead Mask Globe. He loves anything scary or horror-ish. Nice job Robin. Unfortunately this too got dropped after lunch. Will find another.
So in closing, I'm reminded of my friend Chris Lane and the closing remark at her father's funeral. Presumably to capture what Dr. Joob was all about.
"Be nice to each other people."
