Obama “Hopeful” Immigration Will Drown Conservatism
Daily Caller ^ | 02/09/2015 | Neil Munro

The spread of vibrant social diversity is constricting the GOP’s ability to champion conservative causes, such as smaller government and independent families, President Barack Obama said in a softball media interview.

“So people are getting more and more comfortable with the diversity of this country, much more sophisticated about both the cultural differences but more importantly, the basic commonality that we have,” he said.

That diversity hinders conservative priorities, he said.

“The Republican party, even the most conservative, they have much less ability, I think, to express [opposition to single-sex marriage] than they did even 10 years ago,” Obama said.

Obama also used the interview to declare the free-market has failed to deliver economic opportunities and decent wages throughout society.

The market’s failure, he said, requires more progressive government intervention in the economy.

The drop in wages and rise in government dependence caused by Obama’s policy of mass immigration simultaneously gives Obama the opportunity to justify even more immigration and to portray conservative as bigots. “I know some worry immigration will change the very fabric of who we are, or take our jobs, or stick it to middle-class families at a time when they already feel like they’ve gotten the raw deal for over a decade,” he said Nov. 20.

“I believe it’s important that all of us have this debate without impugning each other’s character,” he added in his Nov. 5 speech, slyly suggesting that his GOP critics are bigots.

He replayed the rhetorical trick in his Vox interview, saying “the Republican Party, even the most conservative, they have much less ability, I think, to express discriminatory views than they did even 10 years ago.”

“And that’s a source of optimism. It makes me hopeful,” he said.

That’s a good euphemism for arrogance. I think he’s going to have a meltdown before long. Something is going to go against him and set him off big time. He is very petulant and intolerant of criticism. People like that don’t deal with setbacks very well. Just sayin...

If we ever enter a period of RWOL (rule without law), it might just end up being open season on the libs, multiculturalists, invaders and other traitors.

I’m beginning to think a year or two of RWOL might just be the harsh medicine this country needs to survive the 21st century.

The corporatist RINO faction is A-OK with that — the interests who own them lock, stock, and barrel are counting on immigration to drown middle-class wages and benefits.

“the Republican Party, even the most conservative, they have much less ability, I think, to express “discriminatory” views than they did even 10 years ago.”

1st amendment freedom of speech to the zero is like holy water to a vampire.

Such a good little fascist.

I utterly and completely despise this piece of sh*t.

Better add to your list the GOP-E who pretend to be against Amnesty, but do everything in their power to make sure it becomes a fact.

In my book, they are worse, because they are traitors to everything we believe in.

"but African American and Hispanic families are fairly ‘conservative’ about those types of social issues."--"Then there's the Islamic point of view, which is clearly different from Obama’s on that issue."

You probably think Catholics are the same, but the reality is that Obama can count on the votes of all these groups.

Without immigration the democrat party wouldn't exist, and that is why JFK devoted so much of his life to passing laws to replace the American voters with foreigners.

Believe me, they are on my list.

At least Obama is motivated (in part) by principle.

The GOPe is motivated by one thing only - greed.

Today JFK would be a fine democrat, it isn’t like we can look at him and what he had to be 60 years ago, and think that he would be exactly the same today, just like the rest of his anti-American family, he would move even farther left with his party.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

“IRA combat actions are conducted by active service units (ASU). ASUs are usually composed of four persons who most
often know each other, but who have no natural connection (i.e., not related, do not work together, are not neighbors,
etc.). Although the IRA’s General Headquarters issues broad guidance on operations and will sometimes designate and
plan specific high-value targets, local commanders and ASUs (an ASU could be one individual) plan and execute the
majority of IRA (Provo) operations. The ASU organization is very decentralized, and the members may actually be in
contact for only the few minutes of the combat action they are conducting. Their movements to the objective, equipment
pick up, movement from the target, and equipment drop off, is all conducted individually.”

“The spread of Obama’s blatant, in-your-face political corruption is constricting Americans’ ability to envision a day when we might, just conceivably, get a decent bunch in Washington once again.”

The handwriting was on the wall in 2012 - Obama would never rest until America was a communist ruin on the Soviet model.

And, yes, he’s more or less succeeded, with two years to spare.
