Gene Lyons: Still up to no good
Bad news for Republicans: The Know-Nothing faction of the party base has already forgotten the “war” on Christmas and other chimerical dangers. As memories of 9 / 11 fade, they may even be losing vigilance in the “war” on terror. The latest threat to the purity of our precious bodily fluids is brown-skinned Meskins. If we’re not vigilant, those swarthy fellows mowing your neighbor’s yard are apt to rise up and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Spanish. But wait. Hasn’t it been reported that President Bush campaigned with a mariachi band doing precisely that ? Yes, although the White House denies that the National Anthem was performed in Spanish at Bush’s inauguration. That was “America the Beautiful,” they say. Big difference.

Polls show anger about illegal aliens running strongest where Mexican Americans are fewest. Irrational factors are clearly at work. Basically, they’re the same parts of the South and Midwest where the 19 th century Know-Nothing movement and the Ku Klux Klan flourished. Then immigrant Catholics and Jews threatened national solidarity.

Some have even persuaded themselves that the so-called Reconquista movement poses a conspiratorial threat to recapture states “stolen” from Mexico. Frankly, I’d gladly say good riddance to Texas. In the meantime, maybe we should rename places like Las Vegas, San Francisco, Santa Fe and Colorado lest the Meskins get any ideas.

If you think I exaggerate, here’s how a columnist for WorldNetDaily. com recently addressed the issue: “If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn’t possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don’t speak English and are not integrated into American society.”

Lovely comparison, don’t you think ?

1. The author of that odious comparison: Vox Day, a "Christian libertarian"


Just looking at him is enough to make you fear for tomorrow, isn't it? I'm sure he thinks it belongs to him.
