I’ve posted several items about anti-immigration politics.  And immigrant-bashing clearly is the strategy of at least one wing of the Republican Party.

 

It may work.  Enough voters may be xenophobic enough – or even racist enough – to buy it.

 

But here is a history prediction: In decades to come (maybe even sooner), Republicans will be just as ashamed of what they are doing now as they are of their defense of legal segregation in the 1950s.

 

Even Jesse Helms won’t admit today what he believed then. 

 

I believe that down the road a lot more Republicans will be trying to rewrite today’s history.

So let me understand you, Gary. If a person believes that immigrants to the U.S. ought to present themselves at the border with legal permission to enter, in accordance with U.S. law, rather than sneeking in under the fence in the dead of night, that person is a racist.

Can't wait to see your party running on that one.

Jim Stegall, master of the straw man. Republican argument tactic 101.

Straw man? Let's see how that works: Gary calls Republicans racists; I ask (in effect) how do you justify that charge; and somehow that makes me guilty of misrepresenting his arguement (the gist of the strawman tactic)?

OK Mr. Burns, how do YOU explain Gary's arguement, if not a characterization of Republicans as racists, vis-a-vis the immigration issue?

Lets do this one better..

Yes the illegals need to go home. We do not have to use guns and trains, we simply sour the well of benefits and they will go home. make them pay for schools and they will send the wife and kids home. Make them pay for trips to the ER or be charged with theft because they effectively stole services that cost more than a bank heist.

But lets talk about the racist.

Sit down at your local mall. Politely watch the immigrants. They are native Americans who live in Mexico and crossed.

Look at who runs Mexico. Rich Elite Spainish Eurocrats who would otherwise spit on the immigrants. They are the hardcore racist. What they have done is the equivilent of the US marching the various Indian Nations (and I am Part Cherokee) to Canada and telling them to work over there because we don't love you over here.

BTW we will call the Canadians "Racist" if they don't give exceptional benefits. That is exactly what the real racist in Mexico City are doing to us.

Once you see that the real racist in Mexico City are laughing at our guilt and gulibility it becomes clear that we have to call them on the issue.

The classic liberal track is "racist sexist, homophobic" like a theif seeing which skeleton key works.

You have to stare them down and call it for the BS that it is.

I had a debate as CR chair where the liberals tried that ploy on me.

It backfired.. To say the least..

1. I am Scottish, Irish, German, German Jewish (strike 1), and part Cherokee (strike 2)

2. I had been active in helping women in a sincere way in helping out the math and science departments (Strike 3)

3. The leader of the Gay Student Union had been a Cadet under my command in High School JROTC and I had defended him and told others to let him do his job. (Strike four.. I love to keep punching) So he openly laughed at the homophobic comments.

4. Various openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual students whom I had helped in various classes basicly booed him off the stage. (enough strikes for the rest of the game)

You can't be affraid and you have to call their bluff. They are pathetic.. they have nothing!

They are worth nothing....!
