you can dress it up and put lipstick on it, but a pig is still a pig... your high-minded allusion to geopolitics not withstanding.

Speaking of xenophobia, racism, and even a bit of chauvinism, I think you'll find that our new neighbors del Sur aren't half-bad at all of those things.

BTW, how could any rational person be surprised that this massive tidal wave of illegal immigration would awaken a certain nativistic, not to mention atavistic, strain lurking below the surface of even the most mild-mannered and tolerant among us?

Some of the older population stocks of the United States are being swept into minority status ... of course there's going to be a bit of resentment, especially since so many illegals are coming so quickly, that any expectation of assimilation or integration seems mighty far-fetched.

PDR, you have mastered modern-think. Congratulations. But logically it means that a bigot would not be allowed to prevent OJ from murdering his wife.
