One Wall Is Not Enough!

Senor Trump, he's gonna build a wall to keep Carlos and the boys in Mexico, and then native-born Americans can all get jobs on the third shift at the chicken de-boning plant.

Don't expect more than the minimum wage though. The boys in charge may want to make America great again, but they're not stupid enough to pay hillbillies like us more than $10 an hour.

We're gonna need more walls.

There are already walls between black and white, between city and suburb, but those walls need to be sturdier, higher and thicker.

The wall between middle class and poor is in pretty good shape, but it needs some barbed wire on the top. God help us if people making $50,000 a year ever figure out how much they have in common with people making $30,000 a year.

Trump's done an excellent job of strengthening the wall between poor black and poor white and, as they could have told you in 1930 Alabama, this is the key to prosperity for rich people.

If poor whites and poor blacks ever decide to stand together, the people who run the corporations that run the country are going to have something to worry about other than how to divide the profits.

The wall between Jews and Christians was starting to crumble, but we're working on getting it back to its former glory. The good news is that the wall between Christians and Muslims came in ahead of schedule and under budget. Trump got the Christians to build that one for free!

Not that Christians don't need a wall. The wall between born again and not born again gets bigger every day. And atheists? Wall 'em off from EVERYBODY!

The wall between college educated and everyone else is in great shape. If you went to college, you're an elitist with no common sense. If you never got beyond high school, you're too stupid to vote. So sayeth both sides about each other.

There's always been a wall between men and women, but there's been a lot of tunneling under and crawling over that wall. That needs to stop. You need to build a wall between women that has only one gate, a gate men can go through when they feel like grabbing a handful, which is all a real man wants.

Gays broke their wall by insisting that their status as humans gave them the right to marry, but my guess is a Trump victory will have us slapping new bricks and mortar into that very old barrier. If we have to, we'll rebuild that wall with Bibles!

Walls between veteran and non-veteran, between on welfare and almost poor enough to be on welfare. Walls between Hispanic and white, between black and Hispanic. Get 'em up! Unity is for hippies and traitors and sissies.

The wall between gun owners and non-gun owners is well-guarded, and they'll shoot to kill!

The more walls we build, the less the people in charge have to worry about us ALL getting together, about all of us wanting jobs and good wages and a decent life.

What we know now is that we have never seen the people on the other side of the wall, but there must be something wrong with them or they wouldn't be on the other side of the wall. What the people on the other side of the wall know is that they've never seen us, but there must be something wrong with us or we wouldn't be on the other side of the wall.

America on Nov. 7, 2016: Land of the divided, home of the scared, builders of walls.
