Liberal Democracy vs. Transnational Progressivism: The Future of the Ideological Civil War Within the West.
The Key Concepts of Transnational Progressivism
- The ascribed group over the individual citizen -A person's unique capabilities and outlook have less importance than his membership in the ascriptive groups (racial, ethnic or gender) into which he is born.
- A dichotomy of groups: -Oppressor groups vs. Victim groups, with immigrant groups designated as victims The world divides into good and bad groups, with nonwhites, women, immigrants and homosexuals by their very nature in the former category.
- Group proportionalism as the goal of "fairness" -"Victim" groups should be represented in all facets of life (executives, prisoners) proportionate to their percentage of the population.
- The values of all dominant institutions must be changed to reflect the perspectives of the victim groups- Institutions must shed the outlook of the "oppressor" culture and adopt that of the nonwhite, female, immigrant and homosexual victims.
- The Demographic Imperative - Democracy ceases to mean majority rule and becomes a matter of dividing the spoils among those ascriptive groups.
- Deconstruction of National Narratives and National Symbols -Traditional notions of history "privilege" the oppressors and must be discarded. In the American case, for example, the conventional emphasis on European settlers is jettisoned in favor of a multicultural "convergence" of three civilizations - Amerindian, West African and European.
- Promotion of the concept of Post-National Citizenship. - Instead of giving ultimate allegiance (defined as who you would die for) to the state, a vague loyalty goes to some form of global membership.
- The Idea of Transnationalism as a major conceptual tool. States should cede their powers to higher bodies, such as the European Union or the United Nations. In this spirit, Israel's Foreign Minister Shimon Peres has called for a de-emphasis on sovereignty in his region and argued for a Middle Eastern version of the European Union.
- Immigrant rights prevail: Immigrants should be able to relocate freely, impose their cultures on and offer only ambiguous loyalty to their new countries of residence. Long-established peoples in a region should accept "multiculturalism" with a smile.

If I could draw cartoons, I'd draw Richardson and Napolitano chasing an illegal that is waving a flag with dollar signs on it. They aren't doing anything but chasing money with their emergency declarations.

Look, we all agree that illegal immigrants are bad, very bad. In fact, I am not too crazy about many of the legal immigrants who are allowed to bring their families into this country. That said, why is so hard to get our government to stop it?

I think Buchanan had the best explanation when he said that Bush and the rest of the country club conservatives are deathly afraid of getting dirty looks from the staff at the club.
To: cabojoe
In this case, however, its all about perception. President Bush is absolutely disgraceful on this issue, and the public sees that. I mean, for God sakes, he set up a task force made up of business interests to push an amnesty plan! He might as well just come out and say what critics of the Party have been saying for years; The Republican Party is driven by business interests. This is foolishness.
All it takes is for a small percentage of independent voters to fall for the Democrats turnaround on this issue for the GOP to suffer. Do not underestimate how angry the conservative base is, either. There are a good number of us who will vote for a third party in 06 and 08 if Bush doesn't get his act together. And before anybody comes on and says that all I am doing is helping Hillary get to office by voting third party, let me make this clear right now, I don't care so save your breath. I am going to support, as I believe and hope others will, the candidates that I agree with and that share my views.

If the Rats could get a rightist Rat (such as a Zell Miller) to run in '08, he might get a comfortable victory. Consider how close Dubya came to getting ousted, and it was only because Kerry was such a clown that he didn't.

It's not hard at all, the gummint refuses to stop it, both dems and repubs, because they don't want to upset people, you know, the PC crowd, can't make waves, can't single people out, plus,>>>>>
these illegals are here doing the work we Americans won't, plain and simple (/sarcasm) I believe that is the talking point every lib has on the tip of his/her tongue. I always thought Bush had testosterone but I'm beginning to wonder.

Things simply are not going to turn around unless we the voters start showing some independence. That is the only thing that'll get these clowns to stand up and take notice.

Precisely. They aren't asking for help in stemming the tide of illegals, but for money to absorb the cost of illegals.

Sounds like something Howard Dean would say!

The Pew Hispanic Center has just provided us with a clue. A Pew survey in May of migration attitudes in 120 locations in Mexico showed that 46 percent of Mexicans (that means 49 million people) said they would live in the United States if they had the opportunity, and two out of ten are willing to come here illegally.That's even higher than what I posted the other day in Veggie and Jr. conversation.

Shillary will outflank the repubs on this issue.
