Has anyone seen these signs? If so what do you think of them. I got an email the other day with a list of them. The oil/grain one was kinda good but many of them I found to be white/christian specific. Am I reading them wrong?

I checked out the web site, I had never seen them, but it sounds more like an unhappy citizen, everything from the price of gas to the cost of the war, soldiers sacrificing for nothing, The useless UN, seatbelt laws, no smoking laws, hammers the GOP. Sounds like he is not happy about a lot of things. he is definitely over the top, but some are pretty funny.
here they are

"Why is it after I push one for english I still can't understand the person on the other end".
Maybe because the answering service that was hired for CS is in another country. Perhaps it's cheaper that way and american corporations are greedy and don't give a [censored] if you can understand what they're saying.
"Obama wants us to learn spanish. how about the immigrants learning english. After all, it's america"
I don't think it's asking too much for us to learn more than one language. We are the melting pot. My grandmother was born and raised in Riga, Latvia and spoke 6 languages. It wasn't uncommon at all there. Latvia was occupied by [censored] and they were no longer allowed to speak their native language. I think the native americans were treated the same here.
"Guaranteed solution to our border security. Forget the fence. Set up DUI check points".
Yes, because only illegal immigrants like to drink and drive.
"US Constitution in english. Bill of rights in english. If you don't want to speak english please feel free to return to the [censored] hole of a country you left behind."
Maybe if corporate america stops exploiting people who come from these [censored] holes, they wouldn't find it so appealing.
"America. Land of the "free" means - welfare for illegals, free food, transportation, medical housing...etc. US taxpayers pay for it all and get no benefits if needed."
Well I guess it all works out in the end for the wealthy. The middle class pay the majority of these taxes and they are reaping the benefits of hiring illegals at a fraction of the cost. If I were an illegal immigrant coming from a [censored] hole country, i don't think I would pass up a deal like that. kinda sucks for the middle class since they don't get anything out of it yet they're footing the bill. :S
"One nation under God. That's the way it is and that's the way it should be. If you don't like it, tough [censored]."
huh? which God are we talking about here?
"At the current rate of legal and illegal aliens entering this country, august 2013 will be designated white history month"
I'm so tired of this argument. Our culture is built on white/christian morals, history and customs yet we complain if someone gets a month to reflect on theirs???? Really? Sounds a little whiney to me.

*********Maybe because the answering service that was hired for CS is in another country. Perhaps it's cheaper that way and american corporations are greedy and don't give a [censored] if you can understand what they're saying.
Why is it cheaper that way, where do these companies spend most of their money. Is it wages, or is it taxes, healthcare or a combination of the two, or even more things. Who has made it so expensive to actually run a business here, it could not be the unions who "protect" employees, but have union Presidents who make millions on the backs of the very people they protect. I think somewhere inbetween lies the real issue.
******* I don't think it's asking too much for us to learn more than one language. We are the melting pot. My grandmother was born and raised in Riga, Latvia and spoke 6 languages. It wasn't uncommon at all there. Latvia was occupied by [censored] and they were no longer allowed to speak their native language. I think the native americans were treated the same here.
I like that idea, the only problem is you have so many people who refuse to learn a second language, oh wait a minute, that is exactly what he was complaining about.
*******Yes, because only illegal immigrants like to drink and drive.
More checkpoints might be a good thing, but I do not see a correlation between that and immigration either.
************Maybe if corporate america stops exploiting people who come from these [censored] holes, they wouldn't find it so appealing
It is classic entrapment, if the government would stop letting them in, there would be none to exploit :). Before any of that can happen, immigration laws have to be enforced, and the borders have to be secure. it is like a drug dealer, you cut off the supply, you end the problem. We as a country need to decide what immigration reform means. Does it mean we let everyone in, does mean we screen them, does it mean we limit the number. I think the one thing it does not mean is anyone comes in whenever they want. We do need plenty of immigration reform, but the controls and accountability are what need to be reformed. We should punish any person who hires them severely, as well as the company as a whole. We need to make it not worthwhile. Until then, it is all lip service.

Go to a flat tax and make it fair, but any way you go, with what is going on with the government now, this country will be footing the bill for hundreds of years. ****huh? which God are we talking about here?
I will take a wild guess and say the judeo christian God mentioned in the founding documents. No one has to like the history, but you certainly cannot change it. No one is required to believe in this particular God, but that has never meant you can just rewrite history and ignore it. If our history is so offensive to someone, I don't know what to tell them. They are welcome to be here, but the history is not going to change.
********I'm so tired of this argument. Our culture is built on white/christian morals, history and customs yet we complain if someone gets a month to reflect on theirs???? Really? Sounds a little whiney to me.
I would like to believe that the morals in this country are shared across the racial spectrum, and are not specific to any color or religion. The whole white history thing, and black history is absurd. Put it all together and call it American History. From slavery to peanut butter, it is all American history. Our ancestors did it, good bad and ugly, and put it out there. I am not them, and they are not me. we either have to recognize we are one, and stop emphasizing our differences or we will never progress.
I truly think the race huslters of every race do not want us to progress, without that kind of conflict, what would they do for a living.
I am not a meany :)

yes.

It's not about liking or disliking the "history", it's about our country being a place of refuge to those who are escaping religious persecution. Isn't that where we all came from? So why are we so intolerant to those doing the same? that's all i'm saying.

It's all american history until you are LEFT OUT of it. right? I totally get having a black history month to emphasize the accomplishments that were downplayed in the history books, written by white people. This does not only apply to black people. It happens and you can't deny that it does.
you are not a meany. sorry.

And whatever religion they happen to practice, they are welcome to do that here. No one one wants them to be a christian, only to respect it, as they want theirs respected, as all religions should be respected.
That is a part of the history. Things were left out, Blacks were treated unfairly. It happened, I don't think you can find a current example of this country discriminating against blacks. I would never say do away with black history month, but pride in one's race is not a bad thing, no matter what the race is, wouldn't you say? Shouldn't everyone be proud of their race, and what they have accomplished?

There is not an uproar against christianity. that is a misconception. the problem is people thinking that the majority of it is christian so it should be okay to place it where ever we want to. The complaint is always, "oh my, they're taking prayer out of school", "oh that woman wearing a Hijab shouldn't be allowed into a court room".
My concern is that people cannot seem to keep themselves neutral. You believe what you believe but let others do the same. KWIM?

If so what do you think of them.
