Get Out the Gloat
Steyn online ^ | 19 Apr 2021 | Mark Steyn

The other day, Ted Lieu, a Democrat congressman from the Post-Golden State, tweeted at one of his Republican "colleagues":

Dear @RepScottPerry: Native-born Americans like you are no more American, and no less American, than an immigrant like me. And with every passing year, there will be more people who look like me in the US. You can't stop it. So take your racist replacement theory and shove it.

Mr Perry's Tweet is no longer "available", so I have no idea what he said. But Representative Lieu's response is the "Great Replacement" in a nutshell: It's a crazy conspiracy theory, and it's totally racist for you to mention it. But, if you do have to mention it, feel free to gloat. Mr Lieu does this brilliantly: it's nutso racey-racist conspiracy talk, but "you can't stop it", so "shove it", loser.

Like the congressman, I am an immigrant, but I am not sure I would say I was "no less American" than the native-born. I don't just mean legally, in that the constitution itself distinguishes between the privileges of the natural-born versus the naturalized: Mr Perry is eligible to be president, whereas Mr Lieu is not - although I would bet a canny petitioner could persuade the six-three "conservative" Supreme Court to toss that. But I mean the thought more generally: Most of my neighbors have deep roots in this soil, and I would regard it as very unseemly to go around bragging that my comparative blink of an instant in New Hampshire equates to those with ancient lopsided headstones in the town cemetery. I can't imagine standing up at Town Meeting and telling them that I'll be supplanting them and they've got no choice but to get used to it - so "shove it“.

“And with every passing year, there will be more people who look like me in the US. You can’t stop it. So take your racist replacement theory and shove it.”

Translation: allow me to validate your theory before telling you to shove it.

There’s a special place in Hell for Ted.

Actually Ted, it will be stopped. Ted just makes the common mistake of assuming the last 40 years can continue indefinitely. It won’t and when it breaks we’re going to have a long memory of those who enabled the madness.

I’d rather be replaced by Mexico than by a bunch of Ted Lieus.

Careful there... the Left has this Anti-Asian (by Whites) meme that they are trying to crank up. If you point out an unpleasant Truth then you’re just ‘being mean’ which is close to ‘Hate’ and they just flip the script on you and attack you from that angle.

I have been reminding people for a long time that the FUTURE is not a straight line. You can predict trends for the short term but there is always an unknown variable that changes everything.

Today’s America is like a pressure cooker where the safety valve has been disabled. As the left continues to apply heat there comes a point that the cooker will explode.

However, no one is able to predict just how much damage will be done, and which side will be left standing in the end.

The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.

Ted’s been a pompous ass since I supervised him as an Air Force reservist. In fact, he seems to have gotten worse.

True. So, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.

That "cover and cower" attitude you have is why PC rules. Despicable.

Will you grant the possibility that I was being sarcastic?

Nobody can hear the tone of your voice and the comment was pretty flat with no obvious humor, so - no. Put a sarc tag on comments like that.

You’re dreaming.

Do you see any initial signs of that happening. If anything it’s going the other direction. In another 40 years whites will be reduced to a minority (millions of self loathing whites will be cheering that milestone) and then we’ll become like the whites of South Africa or Rhodesia.

I totally get your point (even ‘though it’s lost on certain dopes like wildtard_redneck).

I have been here over 10 years. 8 under another handle but one of the heavy hitters did't like my language in a post in the 2018 midterms. I wasn't Bush-League enough for them.

Your post read like bland advice from a "conservative surrender-monkey moron, sorry. NOT.
