If people entering the country illegally are not illegals, then what are they?
I mean that anyone who thinks they can even *use* the word ‘Illegals’ and not be thought of as racist is as delusional as people I know on FB who refer the President as “The Kenyan”, “OBummer”, “Zero” and/or post pictures of Obama in photoshopped Muslim/African garb (and yes, we all know there are pictures of him from Indonesia,- so what, there are pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Austrian attire) and then proclaim they aren’t racist. It’s like people who begin a sentence, or a screed with “I’m not racist, but…”
Racism is not an objective label, it is like being ugly or smelling bad: if people *think* you are, then you are, no matter what YOU know you believe. Perception is reality every bit as much as it is in a job interview.
I would like constitutional conservatives to get elected. I do not care for the policies of the President or his cabinet, and I do not like a great deal of what he has done, but until people start realizing that the second one starts whining about “you’re playing the race card” one has lost the discussion and the vote, we ARE done. Claiming your opponent has ‘played the race card’ is like griping about a bad hand dealt in a poker game… tough; quite griping and do better next time.
Does this mean that anyone seeking office or associating with those seeking political office has to toe a delicate ‘politically correct’ (to the point of ridiculous) line? Yes. That is the way things are, anyone who doesn’t like it had best get used to losing elections.
