Haven't you heard? The latest technique that today's modern conservatives have adopted from the Left is that of charging racism whenever it suits them. They are conservatives of the LBJ-Hubert Humphrey persuasion, who would never countenance the racist insensitivity of someone who wasn't Politically Correct regarding Civil Rights- you know, like Barry Goldwater, who didn't think the Constitution granted the Federal government the power to tell individual citizens what to think on the matter.

But what could Barry Goldwater have known about a conservative view of the Constitution, compared with the sensitive PC 'conservative' of the 21st century? After all, enforcing correct thought is so much more important than freedom, especially if that means the freedom to hold ideas we don't approve of. So quit griping and get with the program.

Agree with you 100%. Now the racist Hispanic advocacy groups (oh yes, you RINOS out there, just like "you don't have to Jewish to love Levy's Real Jewish Rye" [something I remember from growing up in NYC!], you don't have to be white to be racist) want to proscribe the use of the term "illegal alien" as "racist" and "equivalent to the 'n' word."

Political correctness and uncontrolled immigration are a deadly combination that will destroy our political freedoms. That's a FACT.
