Unless your dad is one of those who experiences a gag reflex at the mere mention of PJB's name how about 'The Death of the West'...

Samuel P. Huntington's "Who Are We", definitely. From a review:

"Mr. Huntington argues that immigration represents a cultural threat not just because of the pressures from immigration itself but also because of the absolute refusal of our elites—not only in culture but big business and politics also—to resist cultural deracination, slow or halt immigration itself, or even enforce assimilation of newcomers into traditional American civilization."

Why should Mr. Coors differ from his peers? If he doesn't go along with them now it's almast a certainty that they'd make him cave sooner or later.

Thanks for the advice.

I agree. Coors' position on immigration seems a bit Clintonesque (i.e., waffley). I definitely would like to hear him take more of a stand before I feel okay about casting a vote for him in November. (I know it's one more Senate seat, but this isn't my only problem with the man. Given his generosity toward the homosexual subculture as head of Coors Brewery, I strongly feel that he's an opportunist who has no principles and who sees the world as a reflection of the bottom line--or the ballot).

I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive my governor from switching endorsements from Schaffer to Coors.

"The vast majority of them are working," Coors said. "They are doing jobs that Americans don't want to do;" but immigrants should be documented, and he would be in favor of increasing penalties for companies that hire undocumented aliens.

What he means there without actually coming out and saying it is he supports the temporary guest worker program. Make all the illegals legal and presto, problem solved. That is until the next 10 million slip across the borders and we have to do it all over again.

"They are doing jobs that Americans don't want to do;"

Apparently Mr Coors isn't yet aware that most of the country considers this cliche a parody.

The easiest way to prove the nonsense of that statement is to look at those areas that haven't been invaded with illegals yet. All the work is getting done with no problems.
