They're good at it, too. They know exactly what buttons to push. It all boils down to Fear Of The Other, really. Mexican immigrants (And we are talking about Mexicans, here. Let's not kid ourselves about that. The looney tunes on the right might spout some bullshit about the 9/11 hijackers, but this is all about Mexican immigrants) speak a foreign language and aren't white. That means it's easy for brutish conservatives to make them look scary because they are so clearly not the straight white Christian that is the Republican base. It's the same with the scary gays that are destroying the sacred institution of marriage as a union between one man and one woman in Jesus, amen, or the inner-city black welfare queen that is using your hard-earned tax dollars to live a life of luxury. All sensible people see through these ridiculous caricatures, but the Republicans are masters at bringing out the fears of the less sensible and making the current election all about that issue, instead of about the larger, more important issues they want to avoid.
I want to hijack this thread for a minute and vent about a group of fuckers called the Minutemen, who I referenced in the previous post. These dopes are
willing to sacrifice their time, and the comforts of a cozy home, to muster for something much more important than acquiring more "toys" to play with while their nation is devoured and plundered by the menace of tens of millions of invading illegal aliens.
They're willing to make this tremendous sacrifice (which involves sitting in a lawn chair in the desert with a cell phone and binoculars) because
Future generations will inherit a tangle of rancorous, unassimilated, squabbling cultures with no common bond to hold them together, and a certain guarantee of the death of this nation as a harmonious "melting pot."
If these brave men and women aren't successful,
Historians will write about how a lax America let its unique and coveted form of government and society sink into a quagmire of mutual acrimony among the various sub-nations that will comprise the new self-destructing America. (all bold from their lovely website)
I don't know who the fuck these people think they are. First of all, they're "sacrificing" their time and comfort to deny other people the opportunity to have the very same time and comfort in their lives. How fucked up is that?
Secondly, the "harmonious 'melting pot'" whose death is forecast is the same "harmonious 'melting pot'" where everyone is free to melt their way into straight white Christian values. God forbid if those values weren't held to be supreme anymore.
Third, this is the first thing I see on their website:
I just really fucking hate these people, and I wanted to share that with everyone. I feel a bit better, having gotten that off my chest.
P.S. The car is called "The Spirit of Allegiance." Sleep tight. |
