Since the moment when police officers turned their backs in protest on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, we've seen the type of escalating activity in the city which would be more recognizable as the preview to a messy Latin American coup d'etat. The latest is a form of purposeful sabotage on the part of the NYPD, which is now actively shirking its duty to enforce the law. According to the New York Post, traffic tickets and summonses have plummeted by 94 percent, and overall arrests are down 66 percent for the week compared to the same period...
No, that’s not right. Irving Kristol, Bill’s father, used the term “neo-conservative” to describe himself in the late 70’s. It only became a pejorative term after the disastrous George W Bush presidency.
Think about it: Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond were as strong on defense as anyone and no one thought to call them “neo-conservatives”. Why? Because there was nothing neo (new) about their conservativism; they were always conservatives.
Irving Kristol, Scoop Jackson, and the rest of the former liberals in the 70’s embraced the neo-conservative label because they didn’t want to be associated with regular old conservatives, whom they saw as rubes. They were liberals at heart, just liberals with an appreciation for a strong national defense.
“No country has ever undergone this rapid a demographic change without being conquered first.”
I was thinking about the 20 million Latino immigrants, the Muslim immigrants, the Chinese, and India’s immigrants all coming without a leader, without taking over our government. Then it hit me that our government has in fact been conquered. Many other nations have been, too.
Godwin’s law invoked by the title. Did not read further.
I’m guessing Lazy Fair. Or however he spells it in French.
I wonder if Jeb Bush knew this attack was coming before he had his head photoshopped onto a black man’s body?
*****************************************************************************************************
I think I’d like Señor Jeb better if they had photoshopped his head onto Marilyn Monroe’s body.
Nah...on second thought, I’d still have to put a bag over the head.
When whites do it, it is the most evil thing that could be imagined.
Where has this author been hiding under a rock these past 10 - 15 years?
Republican party no longer stands for ‘more freedom and less government’. They can't articulate, let alone abide by Constitutional principles.
Blaming some nutjobs on Trump (just like some here on FR blaming Jesse Ventura wanting to be Trump's VP as if it is Trump's fault) is ridiculous.
His logical extension is that Dylan Roof's pictures of Confederate flag are to blame for the Charleston massacre.
/rant off, continue to read the rest of the article
I especially appreciate (NOT !!!) the author saying the previous groveling to be liked and Democrat-lite is 'broad, classically liberal, and consistent with the party’s history'.
And that trying to get back to the Constitutional Republic is 'identity politics for white people'.
Bugger off, you pos, I won't read it any more.
This is the problem right here. The laws of G-d--the One True G-d Who created everything and everyone--are the only basis of morality . . . not anyone's "values" or "culture." But ironically, a society that marginalizes G-d and His Laws leads people to appeal to "the ways of our people" instead.
The answer is neither "white working class values and culture" nor eighteenth century liberalism; the answer is the Laws of G-d.
Do people actually believe that heterosexuality is a creation of "white working class values and culture?" If all these immigrants acknowledged the objective Laws of G-d we wouldn't be having these problems.
BTW--Somehow I don't see Donald Trump as some kind of charismatic European right wing messianic figure. But his candidacy is revealing the henotheism of much of the electorate and telling us that they think being Mexican is a greater sin than being homosexual.
But it's okay for the Democrats to be a coalition focused on marginal identity politics (blacks, illegals, sexual deviants, man-haters ...).
White identity politics? As opposed to what? Black identity politics? i.e. the Black Caucus or Hispanic identity politics? i.e. the Hispanic Caucus? Or any other form, of which there are many, of ‘identity’ politics?
Just who exactly stand ups for whites? Just who exactly gets outraged or speaks for whites at the constant barrage of crap thrown at them or the unending anti-white laws and policies - ‘white privledge’, ‘racist’, affirmative action, the immigration invasion and a list a mile long?
I certainly hope whites get some form of identity.
If the political elite do not want the reaction that they think Trump represents then they need to dial back their own leftist identity politics that is producing that reaction.
It looks like its BioShock art style...
Seriously there is nothing ‘white’ about asking people to wait their turn in line. Mexico does it as does pretty much every other country on earth. I is the lawless country’s that reward line cutting criminals over those who dutifully wait their turn.
This is not a documentation issue this is an invitation and assimilation issue. The difference between an immigrant and an invader is quite simple, an invader brings his culture and language with him expecting the natives to adapt. An immigrant genuinely wants to join the native culture and language.
An interesting academic point. The trouble is at this point is is simply academic Trump’s politics have nothing to do with skin color. Their almost entirely about economics.
Trump simply wants to practice the same immigration policy Mexico and most other countries of the world practices, and the United States too uses to practice. Its called respect our laws and wait your turn or get kicked out.
Put American Workers First
Decades of disastrous trade deals and immigration policies have destroyed our middle class. Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000. Across the economy, the percentage of adults in the labor force has collapsed to a level not experienced in generations. As CBS news wrote in a piece entitled “America’s incredible shrinking middle class”: “If the middle-class is the economic backbone of America, then the country is developing osteoporosis.”
The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans – including immigrants themselves and their children – to earn a middle class wage. Nearly half of all immigrants and their US-born children currently live in or near poverty, including more than 60 percent of Hispanic immigrants. Every year, we voluntarily admit another 2 million new immigrants, guest workers, refugees, and dependents, growing our existing all-time historic record population of 42 million immigrants. We need to control the admission of new low-earning workers in order to: help wages grow, get teenagers back to work, aid minorities’ rise into the middle class, help schools and communities falling behind, and to ensure our immigrant members of the national family become part of the American dream.
Additionally, we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm. From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us. The President of the immigration caseworkers union declared in a statement on ISIS: “We've become the visa clearinghouse for the world.”
Here are some additional specific policy proposals for long-term reform:
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need to companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.
Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.
Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women's plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.
Ok, that’s just weird. I’m going to assume you stayed up all night before posting that.
