Trump Takes on the New Nativists (Jeffrey Lord)
American Spectator ^ | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/05/2015 11:47:46 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Call them the New Nativists. The Know Everythings.

Appallingly arrogant, insufferably elitist, wildly disconnected from every day Americans and profoundly impressed by a presumed intellectual and moral superiority that others find decidedly un-conservative at best and bigoted at worst — some of Donald Trump’s critics have not only gone around the bend they have jumped the shark. And some of the anti-Trump criticism is tied tight to an illegal immigration movement that is — it needs to be said — flat out racist. Determined to remake an America based on color-blind principles of freedom and liberty into a balkanized country divided by race and class. Re-creating America as the new old-South Africa — or bringing the social, race-based class warfare of Mexico northward.

From time-to-time this “Summer of Trump” the cry has gone up that Donald Trump is a “nativist.” His stance on illegal immigration is said to reflect the values of the anti-immigrant “Know Nothings” of the 1850s. (In fact, Donald Trump on deporting illegals is in fact merely updating the 1950s deportation stance — actually carried out — of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Right now the biggest debate about the beloved Ike is the size and nature of his planned memorial in Washington.)

Donald Trump is accused racism and labeled a bigot when he brings up the subject of a massive invasion by illegal aliens , who don’t happen to come from Ireland . Yet Obama is given a free pass for radically racializing American in favor of every black,brown or tan person , regardless of how they get here , or what they do once here ?

Rampant ,sickening ,anti-white hypocrisy to the extreme .

Our forefathers made this country great. Not the greedy simpering minions of this modern era of open borders and reverse racial prejudice .

Here, in the current feature, at my Conservative resource center, Reality Is Not A Grievance, is included a discussion of how the Left has morphed the use of the term "racism," as a weapon against heritage.

Obviously, people need to challenge this usage, while we still have a heritage to defend.

Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. http://www.freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260019/hijrah-europe-robert-spencer Rep.

“Take a look over here at Victor Davis Hansen in PJ Media headlining:

How Illegal Immigration Finally Turned Off the Public

If there were not a Donald Trump, he would likely have had to have been invented.”

`When the pupils are ready, the teacher appears.’? That’s a little simplistic, but it works.
I’m going to have to re-subscribe to TAS/ the American Spectator.

who don’t happen to come from Ireland

A lot of illegals do come here from Ireland, and they also come from the Indian subcontinent and East Asia. Doesn't matter where they come from: they need to leave. Yesterday.

“...illegal immigration movement that is — it needs to be said — flat out racist.”

Duh. If we were trying to stop hyenas overrunning us from Mexico, this writer would scream we’re being specists.

These anti-American, anti-law, anti-Christian and - it needs to be said - anti-democratic media agitprops are a nasty cancer in our nation. Tag line.

Just a few weeks ago VDH was not a fan of Trump. Sounds like he’s coming around.

I was using ‘Irish ‘ as a metaphor ;^)

Time for these folks to go. They are NOT American. They don’t share our culture or values. They need to go. We can not afford the luxury of pretending two cultures can inhabit the same space.

We either have a Country or we don’t.

The rest is pure malarkey.

Yeah, but VDH was bashing Trump just 30 days ago. Maybe he’s finally seeing the light.

Whatever he is, he’s telling-off/beating about the head-and-shoulders the `rats and their “moderate Republicn” RINO friends.

I can’t understand why anyone here would object to that ... unless they are (drumroll please) Democrats or RINOs.

Ted Cruz is laying back in the weeds, watching everything closely, keeping his own counsel and his oar in the water.
