Bigotry always is sinful, even if the target are 'illegal'
Daily Southtown ^ | June 1, 2007 | Andrew Greeley

Posted on 06/05/2007 2:49:00 AM PDT by B. Chezwick

Bigotry never goes away. When it becomes unfashionable, it goes underground and waits until a new hate group appears into which it can project its twisted sickness.

Racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism and anti-immigrant nativism are chronic infections in the American body politic. Rush Limbaugh singing his obscene tune "Barack the Magic Negro" is inviting prejudice and violence.

However, for pure irrational rage, the current crop of nativists are some of the worst to come along since the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s or those God-fearing Protestants who burned convents in Boston in the 19th century.

Rush doesn’t sing Barak the Magic Negro. Paul Shanklin does. The author of this piece is a liar.

You forgot the barf alert.

I did not know that being against crime was 'bigotry'. Of course, when I saw the reference to Rush and 'his' tune, I knew the author was clueless.

So this is the guy that is an author? I haven’t read his books, now I won’t bother.

The hate mail I receive because of my opposition to the war is mild in comparison to the hate mail on immigration. One woman, a self-professed "devout Catholic," says it's a shame some of the immigrants die trying to enter America. But, she tells me, it's their own fault because they have broken the laws of the United States.

So death is an appropriate punishment for what is legally only a misdemeanor? I judge no person's conscience. I leave that task to God. But in the objective order of right and wrong, that thought surely is a very grave sin.

So tell us. If you agree with Greeley who punished the illegal in the desert? Was it someone corporeal or was it God? Did God smite him down for his illegal act?

The frank hyperbole is so out of control only someone who can't think rationally would subscribe to his view.

The author claims that opposition to illegal immigration is bigotry and yet he resorts to name-calling to those opposed to it.

Isn’t Andrew Greeley the priest turned pap novel author? If so, this doesn’t surprise me.

Most of Greeley’s writings belong on the fiction shelves with his mysteries.

So, did you post this article just to start some ......S@#T?

Wake up and smell the tequila. People who are against Illegal Immigration are NOT the KKK. They are average AMERICANS who fear for their kid’s and grandkid’s future.

Get over it and put the *race card* back in the deck.

Stop being stupid. I have not read one single post on FR against Mexicans immigrating here. Or against legal Mexican immigrants. There may be such posts but they are extremely rare if they do exist.

Just because a person is too bigoted to understand the opposition is to ILLEGAL acts rather than to the race does not mean they can honestly project their own bigotry on people like me who oppose ILLEGAL immigration.

My opposition to ILLEGAL immigration is color blind.

Get over yourself.

Read the OP’s posts. He doesn’t think it needs a barf alert. He agrees with it.

Mr. Andrew, sir... is it POSSIBLE, in any way shape or form, that those who oppose law-breaking do it because they don’t want to see law-breakers rewarded for their actions (which, invariably, leads to further law-breaking and unintended consequences)? And not because we’re inherently evil, bigoted, racist, etc?
