On this issue there should be none of that political equivalency business in singling out Latinos. After all there is no place in this world of ours where immigrants could come from that would give Republicans more voters than Democrats. Well, other than ISIS I suppose.
Oh the horror of it! More minority Democrats who will be voting for such human atrocities as LESS police bashing in doors to drag parents away from their children. MORE votes on the side of people rather than corporations and of the poor and middle class over the wealthy. MORE votes to clean up the planet rather than loudly proudly and actively trying to kill it. MORE votes enhancing the very basis of democracy in the right to vote rather than suppressing that vote. Voting for MORE health insurance for MORE people rather than less health insurance of less people. And of course trying to stem the very core of Republican politics by giving people a hand rather than the finger. Oh the humanity. But I hear over and over again they all sleep like babies. With a warm gun.
As much as the GOP would like to put a lid on the Tea Party “nativism” [which is the new kinder gentler name for “racism” out West] it is hopeless as that gang who are now again coming out from under their rocks have too much steam in the teapot to put a lid on.
The GOP establishment wants to hide the real issue of racial and ethnic bigotry, nativism, with just their screeching on and on about THE FOUNDING FATHERS, THE CONSTITUTION, THE EMPEROR OBAMA, THE WHITE HOUSE DICTATOR and so on. Why do I have to search so hard for all this Tea Party ugly crap? Why isn’t it the headlines of all the newspapers and all the TV news networks all the time?
The only people who can tell the truth are those not after a buck or a vote.
Here are some of the most recent exhortations from the Tea Party.
“This is by far the most serious communication I have ever sent. Everything is at stake. Illegals will bankrupt our social, economic and financial systems. Terrorists will just blow it all to pieces. They’ll all be in our backyards in a matter of weeks, even days, if we don’t step up and demand action.” Steve Eichler, TeaParty.org
“What makes it so dangerous is that Obama’s announcement says to all of our enemies that now is the time to invade our nation’s borders. We’re no longer talking about innocent women and children riding trains to our borders then crossing with the hopes of gaining access to our welfare system. We’re talking about ISIS and other evil groups who want to embed individuals here with the plan of doing harm. Essentially, our President just made a proclamation that puts American lives, and the security of our nation, directly at risk. Obama said to the world that if they can get across our borders, we will not send them home. We will not enforce our immigration laws.” Eric Odom, Patriot Action Network,
“Today, Barack Obama is going to announce his long cherished goal of destroying America. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) population is headed for extinction.” Judson Phillips of Tea Party Nation
“Obama’s executive actions and general lawlessness on immigration could lead to ethnic cleansing.” Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach
“President Obama’s immigration executive order is declaring war on the American people and our democracy.” Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) who is also one of the Republicans talking up impeachment.
“This executive action on immigration will lead to a flood of illiterate voters.” Michele Bachmann
And finally the plan!
“This is truly an emergency. There’s not a moment to lose.” Tea Party Patriots co-founder, Jenny Beth Martin said explaining the plan ahead.
1) Melt the phones of Congress members with complaints.
2) Flood congressional offices in Washington and all hometown offices across the nation with calls and warm bodies.
3) A December 3rd rally in Washington DC called sponsored by House Tea Party Caucus founder Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert.
Indeed if you want go get things done, call Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert. Let me tell you one of those truths that those after a buck or a vote can never or will never say.
JESUS MAKES THE LEADERS RICH AND THE FOLLOWERS STUPID
Oh crap… That’s bigoted… So I guess I have to refine that to the larger truth.
RELIGION MAKES THE LEADERS RICH AND THE FOLLOWERS STUPID.
Has much in common with MTV.
Money for nothing and the chicks (or boys) are free.
Does anybody ever get his far down to read anything I say?
