“This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.… [R]ace has no place in American life or law.”
— John F. Kennedy, 1963
“America represents something universal in the human spirit. I received a letter not long ago from a man who said, ‘You can go to Japan to live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France to live and not become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey, and you won’t become a German or a Turk.’ But then he added, ‘Anybody from any corner of the world can come to America to live and become an American.’”
— Ronald Reagan, 1988
For the last few days I have been graciously invited on CNN to discuss the Trump candidacy. On one early occasion I was paired with Jeb Bush supporter Ana Navarro. The discussion quickly heated up. Here’s the liberal Mediaite headline:
‘Oh Really, What Am I?’: CNN’s Ana Navarro Shuts Down Man Who Says She’s Not Latina
The story read in part as follows:
Lord went on to tell Navarro that the GOP establishment tends to “paternalize” Latinos, “who came here legally, who did the right thing” and are now “being insulted here by the Republican Party.”

Legal....Illegal, there is a difference.
Actually, it wasn't. The white population of the colonies at the time of the revolutionary war was 80^% English, and the rest other British and other European. And the founding fathers were almost all of English heritage. And the balance were almost all from other European nations.
Nor should race, gender, sexual orientation, or sexual preference have any bearing on hiring, admissions, or promotions.
In a more civilized era, those with the highest qualifications and motivation were rewarded.
50 years of affirmative action set asides has only divided the country and promoted the societal victim mentality.
But the media wants Jeb. They definitely don’t want Walker, because they ignore him.
They want a GOPE partner to retain power.
Walker has s lack of formal education issue, but in general no Republican speaking about illegals, budgets and such are the enemie.
But the media wants Jeb or Trump or Christy. They ignore Walker and Cruz. All are afraid of Walker, because he has a chance of winning.
Why must every election be about where our ancestors came from...it is divisive...why must every election be about religion...in America we are free to worship how we choose.....why must in every election, sex is a prime discussion when in America you are free to have sex when ever, where ever with whom ever; sex isn't a part of the Constitution.....some of the following issues are important.... "thou shalt not kill" abortion? pretty straight forward....obeying our laws/corrupt politicians and government....and we should be rectifying our extremely wastful top-heavy Federal Government whose Unions work against Americans not for them....JFK made a huge blunder there....this nation's elected should be trying to remedy (our debt) the rest is window dressing to keep you from paying attention to how close you/we are to Third World villages, town, cities etc.
Because identity politics work for the Dems and will increasingly be more effective as the demographics of this country rapidly change. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as defined by the USG. By 2043 half of the country will be minorities.
Government policies reinforce group identity. Certain groups receive advantages like minority business set asides, affirmative action, quotas, etc. The Dems will use identity politics more and more as they become the permanent majority party. Demography is destiny.
Legal immigration is a bigger problem than illegal aliens.
Thanks for clearing that up. Saved me having to do it. If you listen to Obama we are a Muslim nation.
¡Yeb! wants to turn the U.S.A. into North Mexico.
Last time I checked “Illegal Alien” was not a race.
You misspelled enemie the IE should be an A in this case
I am noticing I need reading glasses when wearing contacts.
Jeb makes some of the most unattractive expressions I’ve ever seen.
You're right...as more Blacks have abortions......in all probability one reason for Obama's 'open border' for illegal children and their chaperons. 
The public simply do not know truth and do trust the medias.
Sad but true. Americans are grossly swayed by lies and untruths. The Unintended consequences of trusting the news reporting, and the slanting of situations to what benefits their political views has been working for years now.
Once I was a democrat, now I see. We are indeed becoming a socialism government... or I. E. Communism dictatorship or even a Totalarism government.... NOT a REPUBLIC.
If we loss our Republic we may never get it back!
We bring in 1.1 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS A YEAR. Over 30 million legal immigrants have entered this country since 1990. 87% of legal immigrants are minorities as defined by the USG. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem.
