Yes, because like the President you apparently feel the majority of Americans that want the borders enforced are bigots.
And I could care less. The fact all you guys can do is cry "racist" and not refute the arguments is no more, no less, then what the Dems do. And I'm immune to being subdued by those tactics anymore.
When Americans start demanding people that speak Spanish or come from Latin America be denied VISAS because of their ethnicity and default language, then you can cry foul.
Until then deal with the fact that the people objecting would rather not repeat the mistakes of Europe, allow numbers of illegals to enter that cannot possibly be assimiliated in such large quantity (nor do many wish to do so at all).
Deal with the fact some of us recognize the moral corruption of anyone that views a human being as a "commodity" to be bought and sold for a pittance so they can save a dime.
Deal with the fact allowing massive numbers of uneducated and poor citizens within the country strains the U.S. taxpayer who has to pay for their education, medical services, their basic needs...
Deal with the fact that a people that do NOT swear alligiance to the same country will NOT put that country's needs first, and in so doing can jeopardize this nation's survival from within.
And deal with the fact that people coming across the border unchecked is a security risk in any age, more especially this one.
You call that bigotry. I call it common sense.
As for Buchanon, yeah, he's an anti semite and I personally wouldn't doubt he takes exception to people with "brown" skin whether Arab, Mexican or Spanish descent. But the person didn't alledge that. They alledged his agenda was to sabotage good judges, and THAT isn't true.
What I said is what I hear in Pat Buchanan's argument, and it's unmistakable. It's an argument that's been made against immigration in this country for time immemorial.
And as someone said on Brit Hume's show earlier this week, it was used against the immigration of Buchanan's own Irish heritage at one time. They were known as the Know Nothing party.
Excellent post!
Re' your post #40 - all true until you agreed that Buchanan was a bigot against Jews. This has been a classic case of a lie repeated so much that it is regarded as truth. From what I recall is that he said the U.S. shouldn't put its interests before Israel's, at which point everyone else in the media circus screamed that he was some sort of Nazi.
Anyone out there have any written evidence of Buchanan's anti-Semitism? Anyone? And poor Dane's ruminations on carbon monoxide don't count.
I truly believe it' all part of a smear campaign to shut up people who dare to speak the truth.
