Dear Defend-America.net

I had the dubious pleasure of perusing your poorly pieced together website http://www.defend-america.net this morning. I have numerous issues with it aside from general disgust at your obvious bigotry and hatred. At the risk of actually enabling you to upgrade your presentation I feel the need to point out your very apparent lack of intelligence.

Rule Number One- Be accurate. If you are going to attempt to disparage someone make damn sure you have your have facts correct. Otherwise you just look stupid, which you do. On your anti Obama page the first link in your tenuous trail of “proof” that Mr.Obama is anti American you link to a video that shows “Obama not putting hand over heart during Pledge of Allegiance.” Hmmm … the problem I have here is that you have in fact linked to a video of Obama not putting his hand over his heart during the national anthem. See, the difference here is that the pledge is a recitation whereas the anthem is a song. According to modern etiquette hand over heart is NOT expected during the anthem. I’d also like to point out that in the video of all people on stage Mr.Obama is the ONLY person mouthing the lyrics to the song. In this instance you have only served to make yourself look foolish. What kind of American are YOU that you cannot tell the difference between the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem???

Let’s address your opening, and poorly photo-shopped I might add, image. The alterations you’ve made to the road signs clearly show that you are not generally opposed to immigrants as a whole but pinpoint for the viewer that you are a racist. You hate Hispanic people. I might add here, that including the image of the Statue of Liberty was a poor choice on your part. Have you read the inscription on the statue?

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

See this is America’s invitation to EVERYONE to come to our country. Might not be the image you want to use to convince everyone to be separatist and racist.

Let’s move on to your poorly structured argument on why illegal immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to stay in America. You argue that “Quite often their money is sent to their families to support them.” Well … how dare they! Honestly how dare anyone 1. spend their money how they choose to and 2. do something as admirable as sacrifice almost EVERYTHING they slave for to support their family. As opposed to the massive amount of native born Americans who squander their money on drugs and lottery tickets not to mention beer and Mc Donald’s and neglect their children and aging parents. Much better to be a self centered fool native born than to be foreign born and support your family.

As for your argument that illegal immigrants abuse the welfare system. Take a look at your neighbors, those white, native born Americans. You want to see some welfare abuse look no farther than next door. Do you know the definition of fraud? A fraud is a deception made for personal gain. Last time I opened my eyes and looked around I didn’t notice any immigrants living high on the hog off food stamps. Last time I checked these were the people who work insane hours in terrible conditions doing the jobs the native born Americans didn’t want to do. And they do these jobs for terrible pay with no benefits.

I also have a big problem with your point number 4.  “ $12 billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!” So pretty much your problem here is that these people do not speak English? Have you perchance been to a park or fast food restaurant lately? How many children do you know, or adults for that matter, who are again native born Americans, that can speak proper English? You certainly cannot. Your little website is littered with poor grammar and spelling. I shudder to think how you sound when speaking.

Your point 10 – “In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.”  Now you are villifying the unborn and young? You are fully prepared to convict them of crimes they have yet to commit ??? How on earth can you claim this as a fact? You are now an expert at remote viewing? You can see the future? I’d be dead interested to know how you can possibily substantiate this fact. You cannot.

I wonder have you heard of spellcheck? The dictionary? Proof reading? Here’s the thing, you want people to hitch their stars to you you need to not look like the ignorant fool that you are. Spelling is one of the first things people are going to notice about you when you take to print to spout your foolishenss. Here are a few examples from your website.

 ” … you can vacation in Sunny Denver Colorado .” Sunny should not be capitalised. Unless Denver has recently changed it’s name and I’m unaware of it.

“This will help give us an idea of how many people will be comming.” Hint – coming has one M not two.

“… here in the states.” As opposed to your capitalising of Sunny before this is a case where you want to use an upper case letter. States is an abbreviated version of United States and should have an upper case S.

“… the cost we indure …” I am guessing you mean endure. Indure is not a even a word.

Let’s return for a moment to your baseless accusations against Obama. You link again to another video that showcases Mr. Obama explaining his reasons for declining to wear an American flag pin. Perhaps before villifying him you should read up on American Flag Etiquette. Which clearly states -

“The Flag Code addresses the impropriety of using the flag as an article of personal adornment, a design on items of temporary use, and item of clothing.  The evident purpose of these suggested restraints is to limit the commercial or common usage of the flag and, thus, maintain its dignity.”

So in reality Mr. Obama is in fact adhering to flag etiquette by NOT wearing it as an adornment or advertisment of his partriotism. In fact one could argue that he is being MORE patriotic than the other candidates by NOT wearing the flag as an adornment as he is abiding by the guidelines for flag usage. Quite the opposite of your weak, poorly thought out attack.
