Saturday Night Card Game (The first race card has been played against Paul Ryan)
Legal Insurrection ^

Posted on 08/11/2012 8:14:47 PM PDT by chessplayer

When it became clear that Paul Ryan would be the Veep nominee this morning, the New York State Immigrant Action Center posted what might be the first race card play against Ryan as Veep nominee, accusing him of using the allegedly racist term “anchor babies”:

Paul Ryan has been tapped to be Mitt Romney’s running mate. Romney decided to pass on making a play for immigrant and Latino voters in favor of picking someone who is unlikely to appeal to these growig demographics.

"At this town hall in Wisconsin, a man identifying himself as a retired marine makes a speech making bizarre and racist claims about Latino immigrants. Ryan responds to this rambling set of conspiracy theories with agreement. Ryan then deploys the most racist term used by anti-immigrant radicals. He refers to United States citizens born to Latino parents as “anchor babies” even though the 14th Amendment to the Constitution calls them “citizens”.

Six year since Barack Obama started running for the Presidency and the press STILL has not vetted him.

OK then, call them "Hook, Line and Sinker Babies" then - it's all about getting hauled onto the Boat - the USS Entitlement....

“Anchor baby” isn’t a race-specific term. Anyone of any nationality/ethnicity/race can come over here illegally, have a child (citizen under the 14th Amendment as it is currently interpreted) and thus have an “anchor baby.”

When the marxist-communist left attacks moderate conservative constitutional patriots, any word will do. They just take ownership of the word, and run with it as if its an expletive against us. If they needed it, whenever voiced by and only by conservatives, they would declare racist such words as "and", "the" and "of".

How about HOOKER babies since we mostly get hooked for the tab on them for the rest of their lives and the lives of their parents?

I’m really getting tired of the Libs always getting to decide what is and what is not a “racist term”. I hope the rest of America is, too.

"Six year since Barack Obama started running for the Presidency and the press STILL has not vetted him."

Yet, they managed to learn every name in Tiger Woods' little black book within hours of a domestic quarrel.

If we called them “wetback spawn” ..that might be racial, but anchor baby is a term that can apply to both legal and illegal immigrants. It gives and immigrant an “anchor” to hang on to get a green card. I have known a number of couples..non-US citizens who deliberately had a US citizen baby while visiting or working in the US temporarily to insure that they could get a green card. One couple was British..and the wife didn’t want any children..but she agreed in order to give them the green card. So they had only one.

You would think that some clever Republicans could get together and come up with some smart comebacks to these accusations. The liberals always brainstorm, you can tell that. They have practice sessions where they learn how to deflect accustions, but not the Republicans.

If “the most racist term” these people know is “anchor babies” they need to get out more.
