When South Carolina’s Republican Senator Jim DeMint resigned to head the Heritage Foundation most “outside the Beltway” conservatives were at first apprehensive about the net effect it would cause. The thinking on DeMint’s move slowly evolved to “Jim can do things outside of the system he can’t do/say while in the Senate.” It sounded reasonable – after all this was Jim DeMint.
Since he took over Heritage DeMint has been an irritant to the Gang of Eight as they fight to destroy America by erasing our borders, but time has shown that alas he is not the “all in” warrior for our safety we assumed he would be. The abrupt “resignation” of Jason Richwine, a Harvard trained PhD, from his position as a Heritage Foundation analyst/writer tells us a different story about DeMint.
Richwine HAD to be banished from Heritage for committing the heretical outrage of telling the truth about the destructive effect mass waves of Hispanic immigration have had on America’s economy. Worse still Richwine took the “head on” position that the damage has been caused because of the lower IQ of these immigrants.
Richwine exposed Teddy Kennedy’s lies about the probable results of his Immigration Reform legislation. We know now that it was a clever gambit to replace the Democrat votes being lost in the South. Today we have veritable conga line of new low IQ immigrants eager to reward the Democrat Party for holding the door open for them.
The whines and howls that followed from the Left were of course to be expected. It is simply “not allowed” to point out differences in IQ among various races and ethnic groups unless you are saying a minority group (usually Asian) has a slightly higher IQ than any other.
Nevertheless, other unexpected voices have joined in the attacks on Richwine – those who should be defending him and using the data he presented demonstrate the lower IQ immigrant costs us $6.3 TRILLION.
After the first squeal from the Left about Jason Richwine’s R-a-c-i-s-m, within three days Jim DeMint folded and begged for mercy. Heritage denounced its own White Paper on IQ and race by bleating its findings, “… in no way reflect the positions of The Heritage Foundation.” How we wish they did.
Jim DeMint agreed with the Left that it is better to never mention what wave immigration has done to America because it makes for uncomfortable evenings at DC cocktail parties.
Maybe we are better off with DeMint out of the Senate.
Its like they looked at all the groups that Obama united, all left leaning to begin with, and decided that THIS group was their best hope for new votes..
After all, GWB got 35% of them in 2004 up from 15%, cant beat that.
Romney’s strategy ?? Assume that only rich white guys like him will vote, and hopefully their wives too, assume that everyone else will stay home,
Assume that kids will think the GOP is as COOL as they think Obama is if they (GOP) put(s) Clint Eastwood on prime time TV to make jokes after he downed a Fifth of scotch.
I could see that wasnt going to play out like many here hoped it would.
Regardless of the sole issue that this story is about, the resignation of one writer/analyst over one issue regarding immigration, the Heritage Foundation is the organization that published the recent economic study regarding what the proposed immigration “reform” legislation is going to cost the taxpayers.
To judge that Demint is not who many of us have continued to believe he is - his character, by the sole issue the article is concerned about and not the entire record of Demint at Heritage is an error in my opinion.
” Romney’s strategy ?? Assume that only rich white guys like him will vote, and hopefully their wives too, assume that everyone else will stay home,”
LMAO!
Romney: “ You mean a lot of that 47% is really gonna vote?
Okay, thanks.
The deliberate efforts to suppress reality on the racial front are part of a much larger effort to suppress a whole panorama of considerations, which once inspired a defense for traditional cultural values, such as property rights, family ties & identifications, as well as the role of religion in strong local communities. What the Left fears, they seek to make unmentionable.
For the multi-pronged attack on traditional societies, see Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education. Note especially the sections on Allport, Montagu, Cousins & the ACLU.

I so agree. The right seems to have no concept of the reactionary left, who lack forgiveness and a rational thought process. They need better PR counselors in every situation. The lower IQ phenomenon could be addressed within a single generation with better nutrition, education and relief from mortal danger, as has happened with so many other waves of immigrants. As a cutting-edge theme, it's a non-starter.
The theme remains, how can we continue to provide food, shelter, employment, emergency care, etc., when the sheer number of low-information immigrants explodes while our economy is faltering?
Recall the Romney/Ryan 2012 campaign Fiscal conservative strategy.
They will cut taxes (detailed) and balance the budget by promising a trillion dollars of unspecified spending cuts and unspecified loophole closings.
When asked about the medicine (spending cuts and deduction removal) that goes with the candy (their detailed tax cuts), Ryan explained :”Its congress's job to figure out those details”
And they will do something to medicare starting 10 years from taking office, Ryan brainstorm.
WHY DIDN'T THIS SELL???
Whether or not this guy should have been hired for this job in the first place was water under the bridge, but after promoting his study results Heritage throwing him under the bus was throwing their own argument under the bus and their own credibility with it.
They look weak and incompetent.
I’m sorry for piling on SC, where the motorists are very courteous. You have the majority in SC; and we in TX could lose the majority by 2016.
That's a rationalization, a moronic line of thinking. The best way to change "the system" is to be in it. A Senator can do whatever the hell he wants other than insult his colleagues on the floor. He just wanted out and took the best job he could get. There are likely no "bigger and better things" in his future. He quit, that's fine, it's his life. But if he ever deserved the "conservative hero" tag he certainly doesn't after leaving in the middle of his term.
US Senator > Think tank boss
Just like: Alaska Governor > Woman about town
Real political power > influence from the sidelines
I clearly remember early 2011 when DeMint went on Cavuto saying ‘There is no way in hell I want that (POTUS) job’ and I kept posting that he wasnt running yet I kept seeing comments here saying ‘he doesnt really mean it, he will run’.
Ironically things appear the opposite of what he said above. More than ever he acts like he really wants to be liked by MSM now more than anything. The complete opposite of Ted Cruz.
CORRECTION: 2012 Republican Presidential primary.
” And they will do something to medicare starting 10 years from taking office, Ryan brainstorm.

Uh.......because it was BS? : )
” Heritage throwing him under the bus was throwing their own argument under the bus and their own credibility with it.

Just another cave-in. Seems like a daily event.
” More than ever he acts like he really wants to be liked by MSM now more than anything. The complete opposite of Ted Cruz. “
Opposite is right!
No-no-no,
Ryan can balance the budget by reforming medicare while protecting medicare from any cuts. And cut taxes too.
Its all sooo. easy. Remember Trump was going to call up those Chi-coms and demand they start shipping our factories back? And call up those darn A-rabs and tell them to give us gasoline cheap or we are pulling out of the middle East altogether?
Its all so easy...
” Ryan can balance the budget by reforming medicare while protecting medicare from any cuts. And cut taxes too.”
What a con man : )
