Once again global warming is rearing it’s ugly head here in Lincoln County and we’ve been subjected to sub-summer temps, rain, hail, lightening, thunder, and they’ve probably had some snow and sleet up on the mountains.  I now have clean, shampooed carpets.  The kitties aren’t happy about it.  Rumsfeld is, because I took him out in the car for about an hour while the worst of it dried.

MUST READ: 

 Scott Malensek has a post over at Flopping Aces that will take you all weekend to read and digest, but is probably one of the best reviews of the war with Iraq I’ve seen to date.  Deal with it.  I suggest a dirty gin martini, shaken not stirred, with a few good green olives in it.  You’re gonna need it.  I think I’ll go fix one now.  It’s happy hours somewhere!

 

A MINI RANT

Islamic Immigration & Terror

This is the part of the Immigration bill I DO NOT LIKE.   Because of the educational requirement, we are going to end up being inundated with Muslim immigrants.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not against them, but when we see what has happened in Europe, it is frightening.  Unfortunately, political correctness will win over rational expediency and national interest and we will end up allowing people with links to extremists who want to annihilate our way of life. 

 

On the other hand, Hispanics, especially from Mexico, who need to come here to work in agriculture (and we need them) may not be as well educated.  While not politically correct, nor acceptable to conservatives, they are for the most part, Catholic.  In fact at least 80% are Catholic.  They do not believe in abortion, and studies have showed they are just as patriotic and proud of this country as native born Americans!  They have a very conservative lifestyle based on family values (contrary to what you have been told by the Tanton-Brimelow-Taylor racism machine). They are perfect candidates to become Republicans.  And – they are not going to blow us up.

 

I don’t know about you, but I would rather have immigrants from the Hispanic regions instead of the Islamic world.  Let’s be frank and honest here.  The only thing that is going to counter the Islamic birth-rate is the Hispanic (Catholic) birth-rate.  We’re in a fight for our cultural and national survival.  We are in a world war against extreme Islam.  Right now, thanks to political correctness, they are winning in Europe.  The bitter irony here is the fact that the one group of people who can actually save our society from being co-opted, eventually, into Islam, are people like the ‘illegal immigrants’ from Mexico.

 

Go figure.

 

THE INTELLEGENT SPIN

This is the article Geraldo referenced to a hysterical O’Reilly this evening.  Hispanic Immigration is NOT a threat to the American Identity.

 

Eye on 2008 has one of the best commentaries I’ve seen on the whole Immigration/GOP issue.

 

Captain’s Quarters has an excellent rundown on the whole immigration plan.

Harold Hutchinson, posting at Mac’s Mind delivers a scathing dressing down to Mark Levin who deserves it.  Levin has reached the point where he is almost as obnoxious as Savage, and that’s bad.  I am still seething over the things he said about Lindsey on Monday.  Like I said then, Mark Levin isn’t fit to carry Lindsey Graham’s golf bag.

 

Lindsey on Immigration reform.

 

A MINI-RANT

Mexico, USA

Wizbang echoes something I was going to post today. About a year ago someone who is from Texas and is connected to the RNC told me, over lunch, that within my lifetime, say the next 25-50 years, that we were going to be forced to annex Mexico for our own survival.  Wizbang basically lays out the case.  The bottom line is the fact that Mexico is so corrupt nothing is going to change.  Within the next 5-10 years it is going to fall to a Chavez like socialist.  When this happens, I have a feeling we are going to see the country divided into probably three sections.  The north will end up as part of the US.  The central part of the country will go communist, and the Yucatan will end up falling to nativist socialist forces.  They are already very well organized. And just buying their time.  If we do not invade and assimilate the northern Chihuahua and Sonora regions, we are going to live under the threat of their narco-economy and the violence that goes with it.

 

CONSERVATIVE INADAQUACY SYNDROME

THE MINI RANT

Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Bill O’Reilly, Michael Savage, and the lesser radio beings have declared that this immigration bill is going to be the death of conservativism as we know it and the end of the GOP as a dominate party.  Lord Have Mercy!  Like Geraldo said this evening to a ranting and raving bitterly racist O’Reilly, the reason Cubans in Miami and South Florida are so darn Republican is because we welcomed them with open arms and treated them kindly.  

 

Rush is positive THE END IS NEAR for “our brand of conservatives”.  My gosh are they so insecure, so unsure, so inadequate, so pathetic that they must fear losing out as conservatives…. Or…. Do they know the conservative values they are preaching about have become so corrupted they cannot stand the test of time?

 

The out of control conservatives today have no faith.  They have no hope.  They have and are nothing.  They have no soul.

 

I VOTE THE ELEPHANT!

 

No out of control conservative is going to destroy my party or talk me into doing what I know is morally wrong. 

 

Harold Hutchison at Called As Seen has the excellent taste of referring back to a Pink Flamingo post (last week) about Pat Buchanan.   His post reminded me of what I posted last week about Pat Buchanan’s anti-immigration quotes, and historical perspective for some of the same things said over the years.  This is probably the perfect segue for my rant of the day:

 

I think NRO is fueling the hysteria.  Katherine Jean Lopez is unhinged with her declarations of a Right Revolt.

 

HotAir is buying into the Brimelow lie.

 

And the conservatives are threatening anyone who doesn’t agree with them. 

 

Ace of Spades  has a link to a form for Californians to change their party registration.  I don’t know about CA, but NM has a closed Primary.  I know SC is going to one.  If CA’s primary system is closed, well, this just helps Giuliani.  I reiterate, any conservative who switches parties over this is no TRUE REPUBLICAN, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

 

Freedom’s Zone is still hysterical.

 

Last week, at the Pink Flamingo, I came up with a very sarcastic way to prove the identity of illegal migrants, especially those from Mexico.  It is based on the yellow Star of David the Nazis forced Jews to wear before they began the Holocaust. One of my comments included the fact that since ‘everyone’ knows these nasty migrants are breaking the law to get into the US, how can we trust them to prove they are legal.  And, (this is pure satirical sarcasm) since ‘native born Hispanics’ and illegals from Mexico look the same, we need to determine that anyone who even appears to be “Mexican” be properly identified.  This would require Hispanics, including those who have been in the geographical US since the Conquistadors, many of whom are Republicans, present no less than 20 pieces of identification because how can we trust their identification.  Once these people have been approved as genuine Americans, they can wear a red, white, and blue chili pepper.  Those who can only produce up to 15 pieces of identification must be taken to an ICE detention center where they will remain until their identity can be positively proven.  Then they must wear red chili peppers.  Those who are here on green cards, visas, etc. and are know would wear green chili peppers.  Those who can not prove their identity must wear yellow chili peppers much like the yellow Star of David Jews in Germany wore, and are also subjected to detention. 

 

I was being satirical.  I never thought anyone would give some aspects of this serious thought.  But, at Counterterror Blog, they are already harping on the fact that we are not going to positively prove who some of these people are – so just keep ‘em all out. 

“…As you know, I am opposed to any Guest Worker Amnesty Program that would enable the millions of illegal aliens who are present in our country today to receive the ability to remain in the United States and work. There are many reasons I oppose this, starting with the Amnesty of 1986 which led to the greatest influx of illegal aliens in the history of our nation. However, even if you believe I am wrong about this, you must ask yourself, especially in this perilous era, should our government implement a program that endangers national security? The bottom line is that a Guest Worker Amnesty Program would require that our government issue official identity documents to people whose true identities are unknown and unknowable and that, in and of itself, should be seen as the "show stopper!"

There have been many reports issued by the GAO and the Office of the Inspector General about the failings of USCIS, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency of the Department of Homeland Security that adjudicates all applications for a wide variety of immigration benefits. Fraud has been found to be rampant throughout the immigration benefits program. There are fewer than 4,000 special agents at ICE who are responsible to carry out all of the enforcement and investigative missions within the interior of the United States where the immigration laws are concerned. There is no way that so few agents could even begin to attempt to create a program that contains even a sliver of integrity. The Guest Worker Amnesty Program represents the prescription for a national security disaster!...”

Should Ron Paul be removed from the debates?

 

CONSERVATIVE HYSTARIA CONTINUES

Good, decent honest people are refusing to admit or even see who is behind all the anti-immigration hystaria.  They'd better.

 

Gateway Pundit has all the ‘conservative’ talking points about the GOP becoming the minority party forever if all these evil illegals are allowed to vote.  These people really need to get a grip on reality.  This parody, that much of the conservative blog-sphere is taking seriously, quotes Peter Brimelow. For those of you who don’t know Brimelow, I am going to introduce you to him.  Why?  He is one of the movers and shakers behind the entire anti-Hispanic anti-immigration movement.  

 

We all know the old internet joke that the first one who comes up with connections to Hitler or the Nazis lose.  Well, anyone who buys into anything Brimelow writes is the loser.  Conservatives including RUSH LIMBAUGH are using his talking points.  Is this what the conservatives have become.  I hate to tell you but this is not Ronald Reagan’s brand of conservative.

 

The article that started it all was penned by Brimelow in 1992. Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard these talking points repeated, constantly, since yesterday. I don’t mind conservatives having talking points, but find someone with a less tawdry pedigree than Brimelow.  Oh, I know he is considered sacrosanct, but I’m going to, I hope, open your eyes to what is really going on here.  

“…Is immigration really good for (ahem) the Republicans?

The fate of the Republican Party may not be of concern to the political elite as a whole. But it should worry those aspiring members of the elite who also consider themselves conservatives. Ethnicity is destiny in American politics. This point was made definitively in Kevin Phillips's brilliant The Emerging Republican Majority (1968), which demonstrated that ethnic settlement patterns had an amazingly persistent influence on voting patterns. Phillips predicted on the basis of demography that the Republicans would replace the Democrats as the majority party. And he was undeniably right in the presidential contest, even if timid and unimaginative leadership has squandered the opportunity on the congressional level.As a glance around any of their meetings will tell you, the Republicans are the party of the American majority; the Democrats are the party of the American minorities. On its WASP foundation, the Republican Party has been able to add the children of each immigrant wave as they assimilate. …” Indeed, absurd as it may appear, all brand-new immigrants from the right "protected class"--black, Hispanic, Asian─ count toward government quota requirements that were allegedly imposed to help native-born Americans. Hence a number of the African PhDs teaching at American colleges. The 1986 Immigration Act prohibited discrimination against legalized "undocumented" aliens and set up an office in the Justice Department to enforce this new law.Symptomatic of the American Anti-Idea is the emergence of a strange anti-nation inside the U.S. ─the so-called "Hispanics." The various groups of Spanish-speaking immigrants are now much less encouraged to assimilate to American culture. Instead, as a result of ethnic lobbying in Washington, they are treated by U.S. government agencies as a homogeneous "protected class," even though many of them have little in common with one another. (Indeed, some are Indian-language speakers from Latin America.) And they have been supplied with "leaders" financed to a significant extent by the Ford Foundation.In effect, Spanish-speakers are still being encouraged to assimilate. But not to America….

Additional talking points have come from Steven Sailer, who is another known racist.

L,ju (cat attack – Doc is helping me blog this evening. – I am SOOO lucky!)

 

Various blogs are using an NRO article to base their hysterical talking points, “This is the end of the GOP”.  Rush has used the quote so is O’Reilly.  The problem is the talking points come directly from Peter Brimelow of “VDare”.   The article is by “Anonymous” who hasn’t the courage to use his/her own name because it is a parody that many conservatives are taking seriously.

 “…Can you believe that the Republicans are handing us the future on a silver platter? An analysis of ethnic voting patterns done by Peter Brimelow and Ed Rubenstein projected three Democratic victories for every Republican one if current population trends (i.e., a growing minority vote) maintain themselves or intensify. There are no guarantees in life, of course. But I’ll take three out of four election victories any day of the week. Hey, given our record this decade, we’d be glad to take any wins nationally. The “bi-partisan McCain-Kennedy plan” seemed almost deliberately designed to help Democrats and hurt Republicans. How does it do so? Let us count the ways…”

This is the parody some conservatives are quoting as “gospel”.  The Peter Brimelow information, though is correct. 

 

 Peter Brimelow,  who is a well known racist.   I’ve been telling you who has been promoting all of this anti-immigration hysteria.  Do you know who Peter Brimelow is and who his connections are? His twin brother, John,  is a well known “ex-neo-Nazi”. 

 

This is a report on a Feb 2006 meeting in DC.

The seventh two-day conference of American Renaissance took place at the plush Hyatt Dulles Hotel in Herndon, Virginia, just outside Washington DC, on 24-26 February 2006. David Williams reports from inside the event.

“…For the past 12 years Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, which is published by his New Century Foundation from Oakton, Virginia, has sponsored a series of biennial conferences the first of which took place in 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia with a hundred people. American Renaissance is a pseudo-scientific racist magazine, which uses IQ tests and eugenics to promote the “clear conception of the United States as a nation ruled by and for whites”. Taylor’s dogged determination to “concentrate on what unites” and to “expand the consciousness of race” drew a large crowd, approximately 300, a record number of racists though they preferred the term “white preservationists,” who sat and listened to speeches centred on the theme of “The Global Crisis: Perspectives from Europe, Africa, and Australia”. In keeping with its global perspective this year’s conference had a truly international flavour with speakers including Nick Griffin and Derek Turner from England, Professor Andrew Fraser (Australia), Professor Philippe Rushton (Canada), Dr Dan Roodt (South Africa), Dr Guillaume Faye (France) and Sam Dickson (America).

 

But it was not only the keynote speakers who were of interest. The list of those attending this year’s conference read like a veritable “who’s who” of American white supremacy. Particularly prominent among the attendees were the contingent from Stormfront.org, the world’s largest white supremacist website – slogan “white pride, world wide” – run by the former Alabama Klansman Don Black, who in 1981 tried to invade the island of Dominica and set up a white supremacist state. The venture failed and Black was jailed for three years.

 

Black and his son together with Jamie Kelso all flew in from Florida. Many other members of Stormfront were allowed by Taylor to attend using false identities (although, as Searchlight did not exactly advertise its presence it would be rather churlish to dwell on this point). Indeed Stormfront activists accounted for as many as one sixth of the delegates. Stormfront claims to have been instrumental in obtaining Griffin, the leader of the British National Party, as a speaker for the conference.

 

Several prominent leaders of the rightwing “grassroots” Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) were present including Gordon Baum, chain-smoking throughout, Sam Dickson, a retired attorney and the conference’s closing speaker, and Joel T. LeFevre, editor of Citizens Informer, who played a major role in organising the event. As Taylor himself put it in his opening remarks, the CofCC was a “lynchpin” co-ordinating the activities of a plethora of organisations. He didn’t mention, however, that the organisation is a direct descendent of the White Citizens’ Council which fought a rearguard action against civil rights in the 1950s.

 

John Brimelow (twin brother of Peter Brimelow, author of the influential anti-immigration tract Alien Nation) who runs the popular VDARE.com website attended and was observed cloistered in the atrium consorting with Black and his cohorts. A controversial figure for some within the American Renaissance milieu, David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (who was succeeded by Black), was there as were the far-right radio talk show host Hal Turner, Mark Weber, director of the California-based Holocaust denial outfit the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), Kevin Strom of National Vanguard and David Pringle, both former members of the neo-Nazi National Alliance. There was also a large contingent of Canadians led by Paul Fromm of the Canada First Immigration Reform Committee. Fromm is a friend of the Holocaust deniers Lady Michelle Renouf and Ernst Zündel who, much to Fromm’s annoyance, is currently on trial in Germany.

 

Although a few independent journalists were present the Hyatt Dulles Hotel officially barred the media from the conference, though Taylor managed eventually to persuade them to overturn this injunction. A technical team from Stormfront.org were producing a DVD of the proceedings while the libertarian filmmaker Curt Warren was filming a documentary for the Public Broadcasting Service on “race and immigration”. Those who did not want to appear or be interviewed were enjoined to move to the top left of the hall out of camera shot. …”

For those of you who doubt this and think that we’re dealing with a liberal who is trying to denigrate Peter Brimelow and his brother, please check out this page from Stormfront, a white supremacist, neo-Nazi website.  I know this is tacky, but read the sympathies for Peter Brimelow on the death of his wife.

On Feb 1, 2007, Peter Brimelow, quoted by NRO, appeared on the Political Cesspool program.  The Political Cesspool is sponsored by the Nationalist Party USA.  They also sponsor the National Vanguard.   Also scroll down to see the “contribution authors” and you will find the name of one Patrick J. Buchanan.
