The Westies, Cho Sueng-Hui and an Opportunistic Bigot Named Patrick J. Buchanan

Like Congressman James Moran in search of an excuse to confiscate privately-owned firearms, Pat Buchanan seeks to glom onto the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech. Like James Moran, Pat Buchanan reeks of execrable thinking and primitive hatred. Both men are truly Sons of Erin. However, just because I like green beer and rooting vehemently against Notre Dame Football, I’ll decline to follow the path of bigoted hate-mongering tread by the odious Patrick J. Buchanan in today’s column.

Buchanan attaches profound significance to the fact that Cho Sueng-Hui had a green card. Boy, that detail comes in handy, when you want to unjustly tar the reputations of over 1 million of the hardest working, most patriotic citizens the United States of America. Buchanan makes the hateful claim that because Cho was a murdering psychopath, none of the hard-working, dedicated business people of Korea, who have opened up shops in places like Annandale, Virginia, should ever have been allowed to come here and pursue their dreams.

What was Cho doing here? How did he get in?

The same way your ancestors got here; bigot. His parents scraped, saved, and barely made it for years while running a shoe-string family business. They benefited from the same beneficent mind set that made people in Boston and New York take down all those evil “Irish Need Not Apply” signs from the windows of their business establishments.

Cho was among the 864,000 Koreans here as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965, which threw the nation's doors open to the greatest invasion in history, an invasion opposed by a majority of our people. Thirty-six million, almost all from countries whose peoples have never fully assimilated in any Western country, now live in our midst.

Well gosh Patrick, you could say that about almost anyone from the Far-East. How dare these people come over here and walk around looking less of the Caucasian Persuasion than either you or I?

Cho was one of them.

Cue the cheesy horror music. Pat stops just short of asking for a good, thorough Kystalnacht to cleanse these guys the Serbian way.

And what does it mean to be one of them? Does that mean you drive a used Toyota instead of a brand, new German Luxury Car? Maybe your haircuts cost $10.50 instead of $400.00. These people live in an America that neither Patrick J. Buchanan nor John Edwards can remember the first thing about.

Or perhaps that implies you sink everything your family owns into a hard and sometimes demeaning small family business, so that you can afford to send your children to college. You know, like Middle Class Americans. Those people Patrick J. Buchanan hasn’t seen, heard from, or had anything to do with since his last, and blessedly abortive, run for The Presidency.

A similarly ignorant argument could also be made about Patrick J. Buchanan’s forefathers. The courage and noble dignity of The Irish Brigades be damned. Never mind that they gave it up for America like no one else who wasn’t brought here a slave.

The Infamous Westies were Irish Americans. I’ll betcha’ Mom and Pop didn’t even check their bags through Ellis Island. They shot so many people. They didn’t even have Cho’s insanity defense. It was all just takin’ care of bidness’. They were no more assimilated to our culture than Tony Montana; face down dead in his swimming pool.

So should we let Patrick J. Buchanan wear green on Saint Paddy’s Day? It could be a sign of his total lack of assimilation. He might even be one of them. I think we should let it go. Like the Korean cuisine my wife can cook so well, it adds flavor to our nation.

Despite the terrible consequences of Patrick J Buchanan being here, I think we should be good to Irish Americans and welcome further immigration from their country. In other words, we should be a whole lot more decent to them than Patrick J. Buchanan is to the poor, undeserving South Koreans.

His blindness caused him to miss an opportunity. Had Pat Buchanan chosen to castigate the educators who taught Cho “America is bad. America is racist. Americans are scum.” Then Pat Buchanan would have addressed a legitimate problem.

Thats a point somebody needs to make,if leftist professers talked about blacks or Jews in the way they talk about America,Americans,they would be run out of the country.

I have long felt we are turning out a left wing McVey somewhere with this PC in the Collages

Pat Buchanan is half German and he self identifies as Scots-Irish, which is not what most Amnericans think of as Irish
