COMFORTING LIES AND DISTURBING TRUTHS

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report.  Today is Friday, January 19, 2018, and on today’s Report I will be talking about the President’s remarks the other day, when he allegedly referred to certain countries as "poop hole" countries.  He is actually credited with having asked some lawmakers, during discussions on DACA (the delayed action on childhood arrivals) bill, that is a current matter of contention holding up passage of the budget for this year; why do we take so many immigrants from "poop hole" countries, we should be taking in more from Norway.

Whether he actually said it or not is a matter of contention because he said he used strong language but not the word "poop hole", and some of the lawmakers in attendance said that he did, in fact, use the word poop hole.  Whether he actually used that word or not, I am not sure, but for purposes of this Report, I am going to take the position that he did use the word "poop hole", in reference to some countries in Africa and Haiti, in particular.  Notice that I am using the word "poop hole" countries instead of the actual word the President used because I don’t want to offend anyone who might be offended by the commonly used word for defecation.

Even that is a matter of debate, however, because what did the President mean when he said poop hole?  Did he intend the word "poop hole" to refer to a toilet, i.e., those countries are like toilets, or did he intend it to refer to the actual human "Heine hole", i.e., those countries are like "Heine holes"? I’m going to take the position that he meant toilet, as has most of the media.  You can scan the media around the world, and even in countries where the language doesn’t translate very well, such as Japan; the press usually says that the President referred to certain other countries as "toilet countries".

This President is often crude, but he has a knack for raising questions that lead many of us to truths we have been wondering about but perhaps did not have the courage to ask.  I think his question; why do we admit so many from those countries is a legitimate question that the vast majority of Americans think should be asked and answered.  Why, indeed, what do people from those countries bring to the United States besides a little bit of those countries?  How could immigration from those countries benefit the United States in any way?  Aren’t Presidents, Congressmen, and Senators supposed to represent the people of the United States?  They take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, but doesn’t that require them to represent us?

I know what immigration in general means to our lawmakers, and too many Presidents before this one.  For the Democrats it means building a permanent voting block of dependent people, who will always return the hand that feeds them to power.  For the Republicans it means satisfying their crony capitalists, who fund their campaigns in return for a steady supply of cheap labor.  The last two Republican Presidents before this one, accepted the seemingly inevitable march to the European-style socialist, multicultural administrative state, but this President does not accept it.

For us rubes who live out here in flyover country, it means that if we want to be considered nice people, if we want to be acceptable to many of our friends and relatives, if we want to be like those in Hollywood and the media, we must enthusiastically go along and accept it all as inevitable.  However, this President has given a little hope to many of us deplorables.  He is giving voice to those of us who have had no voice for so many years,
