White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza.
If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks.
La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans. The bill, which calls for tough worksite enforcement of immigration laws and 700 miles of border fencing, was condemned by La Raza as a “laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrations restrictionists in Congress.”
Will Rove defend the immigration reforms passed by President Bush’s party in the House and tell La Raza that House Republicans are neither “mean-spirited” nor “radical”? He should. House Republicans deserve Rove’s support.

LOL...you and your crowd positively REEK of desperation.
Not to confuse you with facts, but "my crowd" is actually winning elections. While you and "your crowd" is losing every one.
No, you've just deluded yourself into thinking that.
Without "my crowd", "your crowd" would never win an election again.
Into thinking what? That we've actually won the Senate, House and White House? While your guy, Keyes, won nothing.
Oh, yes, where would be ever be without all those former Keyes supporters. /sarcasm
Your attitude towards conservatives is quite telling, you know.
As though you aren't the one calling conservatives names.
And, btw, speaking of conservatism, there is NOTHING conservative about a) losing elections (which you seem to revel in doing); and b) supporting an anti-capitalist notion like reparations.
You're no conservative. Who do you think you're kidding?
And, btw, speaking of conservatism, there is NOTHING conservative about a) losing elections
There's nothing conservative about winning elections either. Duh. Bill Clinton won elections.
supporting an anti-capitalist notion like reparations.
I've never supported reparations. Care to show one post where I have? Of course you can't.
Keep trying, Peach. Maybe someday you'll come up with something with some substance. I doubt it, but who knows...
Well, well, well.
Using your own logic: Rove goes to a La Raza meeting so he must endorse them.
You were a Keyes supporter and worked for him, ergo you must support reparations.
See how that works?
See, that's the kicker. Alan Keyes never supported reparations. The media and his enemies twisted his words.
Reparations by definition are payments of funds from the Treasury.
He was asked about reparations, so he went into an academic discussion about how one might deal with it without making direct payments from the treasury to anybody, by killing the income tax.
And the beautiful thing is, the good Doctor favors freeing all Americans from that same slave tax in exactly the same manner.
Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate who once referred to reparations as “an insult to our slave ancestors,” is now calling for a plan that would exempt the descendants of slaves from income taxes for at least a generation.
Tax exemption would give Blacks "a competitive edge in the labor market," because they would be cheaper to hire than federal tax-paying employee" and allow Blacks to be compensated "for all those years when your labor was being exploited," said Keyes, who is challenging Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama for the U.S. Senate seat.
The ancestors of slaves would be precluded from paying federal taxes for a generation or two. The exemption would apply only to federal taxes, as opposed to state taxes, since slavery "was an egregious failure on the part of the federal establishment,” Keyes said.

Somehow that sounds like just blacks would benefit, not "all Americans". And just how do you think the tax shortfall would be paid? Why, higher taxes, of course. For white people only.
When it comes to this subject, it's not just Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter who are in lock-step with the President and Karl Rove, but the MSM as well... I'd bet the farm on that being the reason nothing was made of this, while they blow NSA surveilance up as often as possible.
What should Karl Rove tell the members of LaRaza?
Let's see....maybe he'll do what Bush, not surprisingly, failed to do today in his speech on the economy...... give proper credit for economy to the millions of 'hardworking' illegal aliens instead of taking it all for himself. afterall.......
From the 2006 State of the Union:
"We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy – even though this economy could not function without them."
Too bad there's not live coverage. I can't wait to see the photos! Karl Rove at a LaRaza podium.
Bump. I would love to see Karl Rove at the La Raza podium too.
Bump
as did Jimmy Carter... that alone scares the hebegeebees out of me.
Personally, I would love to be in LA and able to organize or participate in a huge protest against Rove and La Raza today at the convention center.
