ROD – WHAT LEFTY DRIVEL!

1.Most all of us are the descendants of immigrants. The only folks who have a right to build a wall are the American Indians..

In case you missed it, all Native Americans are immigrants. Existing when the West arrived because they had killed off or assimilated earlier waves of immigrants. No humans evolved in the Western Hemisphere. They all immigrated here. NA’s have no greater claim than any other citizen of the nation, regardless of all the sentimental crap spouted by Multiculti progressives about how “noble” they are.

2. Hispanics have better “American Family Values” than most American families..

Bullcrap. While most hispanics are OK, they have higher crime and more illegitimacy and more parasitic use of taxpayer paid services than any ethnic group besides blacks. That does not make them or the blacks cursed with their dysfunctional underclass “bad”, but it sure doesn’t make them “more American values” than most native-born Americans, or for that matter, Asian and European immigrants.

3. Look to the street corners to see who’s standing there with a sign saying “Pity me, I need help.” It’s never a Hispanic..

That’s because chances are it is a black man displaced from an industry by cheap illegal labor.

4. …we are a nation of immigrants.

We have all heard that meme endlessly chanted by multicultis, Republican businessmen caught dumping American workers for cheaper illegals, hispanic and Lefty advocates.
It doesn’t make it true, anymore than claiming Japan, Mexico, Italy, and Iran (and 160 other nations) are also “nations of immigrants” because all their people migrated from somewhere else.
People cease to be immigrants when they assimilate and take on an American identity. Most Americans see themselves as descendents of 4 to 25 generations of other Americans – not as “sons of immigrants”.

5. America is not a piece of land owned by its current residents, it is an ideal that belongs to all Men.

What horse puckey. I guess by the same insipid logic Israel is an ideal that belongs to Arabs as much as Jews, it is not just a piece of land. And, as Japan has many great ideals, I suppose it belongs to me as much as any Japanese – and I should have the right to vote there, get free medical care there, get any job – and not be deported because Japan belongs to All Men.

6. Mr McCain, we need leaders who remind us of who we should be rather than pander to who we are. We need leaders who lead with hope rather than fear.
Mr McCain, tear down this wall!

Left to his own devices, the old bastard would happily go with Open Borders and Amnesty for all to serve his corporate donors.

That is why Republicans always need to keep a close eye him, given what a treacherous backstabber McCain is. He almost got away with foisting pro-abortion, activist judge admirer, and liberal neocon Lieberman on us as his VP candidate.
