If it’s so fucking great, why the hell didn’t he stay in Cuba?
From The Daily Caller.
Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.”
Garcia made the comment during a Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters. The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans are fine spending loads of government money on border security.
“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”
“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that Communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
“But that isn’t what we should be doing on the border,” he continued. “The kind of money we’ve poured into it, and we’re having diminishing returns.”
……Garcia, who is of Cuban descent along with many of his south Florida constituents, told the Miami Herald he never meant to espouse Communism — and was instead taking a tongue-in-cheek shot at his GOP opponents.
Your ‘joke’ fell flat; we’re not laughing.
‘A good government job’…like the workers in the Soviet Union?
‘The kind of money poured in’…must be that Utopian welfare state with a record 47 million on public assistance and food stamps. Not to mention the millions of illegals who suck off the public teat at our expense.
El Paso’s crime rate is higher than the U.S. average: Violent crime in El Paso: 239.4 U.S. average: 214.0
The problem with Garcia’s ‘tongue-in-cheek’ reference is that the Dems have pushed elements of socialism and communism in this country for decades. From Woodrow Wilson to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to B. Hussein Obama, they have bombarded repeatedly the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, individual liberties, free market enterprise, and the concept of earned wealth.
Garcia is the quintessential reason why DemProgs should not be trusted to live in a Democratic Republic.
But hey, communism only killed about 100,000,000 people. Let’s give it another chance.
Hey Garcia: Stick to munching ear wax.
