False & Libelous
Again and again I keep asking myself, "When are American minority citizens - particularly African-Americans - finally going to wake up to the abject contempt in which they are held by their so-called "benefactors" in the Democrat Party?" And again and again, the answer keeps coming up, "Apparently, never."
This Juan Williams op-ed in the Washington Post is the biggest liberal insult to black Americans I've seen yet. Jed Babbin summarizes for those with hypertension who can't risk direct exposure:
"Dave" elaborates:
It isn't that illegals "just don't have" the rights of American citizens; it's that they are not entitled to them. If they want the rights of American citizens, let them go home, emigrate legally, and apply for citizenship. Then we can talk.
These protests represent an incredible level of chutzpah. The headline of my local paper yesterday included a quote from an illegal to the effect that, "Our time has come!" My reflex reaction was, "Yeah, if you mean it's time for your ass to be shipped back to Guadalajara."
It's like a big family moves into the house next door to yours, and they immediately start throwing back-yard parties every night, and leaping your fence to put lawn furniture and picnic tables and an extra barbeque and a couple of honeybuckets in your backyard, and parking their cars in your driveway, and tapping into your cable TV feed, and raiding your refridgerator, and storing their groceries in your pantry, and appropriating your shiatsu massage recliner, and then you come home and find the dad in bed with your wife (without her knowledge). And when you finally speak up and object to their taking over your hearth and home, they get all pissily self-righteous and indignant and demand their "rights" and denounce you with all kinds of vile names if you dare to oppose them.
And assholes like Williams dare to equate that assertion of piecemeal larceny with the movement that finally ended the hundred-year American apartheid?
Babin believes that the "reconquistadors" will succeed in intimidating Congress into formal surrender of our southern border. And he may end up being right. But given that the American citizenry - you know, the people who (legally) vote - is vehemently opposed to illegal immigration and adamantly want it stopped once and for all - and that includes Hispanic-Americans - it beats the absolute caca out of me as to why.
Ann Coulter may be a "provocateur," but I think she nailed it on Neil Cavuto's Fox News show last night: Are we going to continue to be a country, or are we going to complete our degeneration into nothing more than "the world's ATM machine"?
This Juan Williams op-ed in the Washington Post is the biggest liberal insult to black Americans I've seen yet. Jed Babbin summarizes for those with hypertension who can't risk direct exposure:
[Williams] characterizes the demonstrations as evidence of an Hispanic "civil rights" movement. Williams is painting the illegal immigrant protests with the most invulnerable and inviolable label in American politics. To say that the illegals are demanding civil rights now as the blacks did in the 1960s and 1970s is Williams's attempt to label any opponent of illegal immigration a racist. This is both false and libelous.
"Dave" elaborates:
[T]he civil rights movement was rectifying the law to comport with rights guaranteed in the Constitution. That is, all citizens should enjoy equal protection under the law. The movement against enforcement of current laws and gaining control of our borders is fundamentally opposed to the rule of law. They're demanding rights for illegal immigrants that, as both non-citizens and illegals, they just don't have. Whereas the civil rights movement looked to the Constitution to make its case, the illegal immigration movement (again, non-enforcement, open borders) cannot do so. [emphases added]
