It all started quite innocently. I received a respectful e-mail requesting permission to re-post one of my blog entries on immigration reform. DEMOCRATS: AMNESTY NOW, BORDER SECURITY NEVER -- DEMOCRAT & REPUBLICAN TRAITORS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
It is not that I am anti-immigrant, but that immigration reform needs to be reliable, rational, and that we need to do an environmental impact study to count the potential illegal aliens within our border, strengthen our infrastructure, and then proceed in an orderly fashion. I am dead set against amnesty that confers citizenship and voting privileges in favor of a permanent residence and work permit. With the borders secure, the problem of illegal aliens within our borders will disappear within a single generation as all new children will be citizens. As for relatives and others, they are processed as legal immigrants like everyone else. No muss, no fuss.
Then comes an e-mail from the American Freedom Party requesting permission to repost. Of course, I granted permission because I operate under the creative commons copyright and who am I to suppress anyone’s ideas – especially my own. But, being the curious sort, I took a look at their wiki entry.
The American Freedom Party (formerly the American Third Position Party or A3P) is a third positionist American political party which promotes white supremacy. It was officially launched in January 2010 (although in November 2009 it filed papers to get on a ballot in California) partially to channel the right-wing populist resentment engendered by the financial crisis of 2007–2010 and the policies of the Obama administration. <Source>
OK so far. I recognize and resent many of the public policies that lead to the financial crisis. And, as my readers can attest, I am none too fond of the public policies and performance of the Obama Administration.
The American Freedom Party (AFP) is both a political party and activist organization dedicated to the interests vital to the preservation and continuity of ethnic European communities within the United States of America. <Source>
Ethnic European communities? What the hell does that mean? Preservation and continuity? You mean like an English Community? A French Community? A Swiss Community? What is that about? We are all Americans and while it might be nice to visit ethnic enclaves on holidays, why should this be of national importance? A definite red flag.
The party chairman is Los Angeles attorney William Daniel Johnson. Long Beach State University professor of psychology
Kevin B. MacDonald has been named one of the eight party Directors, and is also a principal contributor to The Occidental Quarterly where he has contributed articles claiming that a suite of traits that he attributes to Jews, including higher-than-average verbal intelligence and ethnocentricism, have eugenically and culturally evolved to enhance the ability of Jews to out-compete non-Jews for resources.
MacDonald believes this advantage has been used by a number of Jews to advance Jewish group interests and end potential antisemitism by either deliberately or inadvertently undermining the power and self-confidence of the European-derived majorities in the Western world. A 2006 article in The Nation magazine reports that MacDonald's 2004 Understanding Jewish Influence: A Study in Ethnic Activism "has turned MacDonald into a celebrity within white nationalist and neo-Nazi circles."
Writing in the Journal of Church and State, Professor George Michael noted that MacDonald's work "has been well received by those in the racialist right, as it amounts to a theoretically sophisticated justification for anti-Semitism," and that on the far right MacDonald "has attained a near reverential status and is generally considered beyond reproach."
Aha! Ethnic European Communities – like white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant ones. Communities devoid of the “wrong” ethnicity. I call both bullshit and racism!
I wonder what part of the United States Declaration that they might have missed …
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Or did they miss part of the United States Constitution?
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
We are a nation that operates under the rule of law. Something that the current crop of democrats and republicans often forget as they jockey for political power and the right to raid our treasury. We are a nation of immigrants and that has proven to be a good thing. Unfortunately, some potential immigrants decided not to abide by our laws and jumped the border. Existing in a world of shadows with stolen or forged documents. Committing perjury as they sign official documents, or in the extreme, identity theft.
Now we are faced with a problem. What to do about the millions who are apparently here? And, there is a solution, A legal solution. A cost-effective solution. A workable solution. One based on rationality and the best interests for the country.
Bottom line …
It appears that haters continue to hate. Using public policy issues to gain both financial and voter support for their restrictive policies. Pushing a viewpoint that appears to say, we are here and we demand that nobody else can join the party, especially if they are different and refuse to assimilate.
I personally believe that it is against America’s best interests to import illiteracy, poverty, disease, crime, and large groups of ethnic people who refuse to assimilate into America. Not because they are different than us, but because they want to use our political resources and finances to reproduce the crapistan from which they fled.
The new breed of immigrants do not seem to want to create a new life for themselves as Americans with a cultural heritage – just a more comfortable life while they maintain an allegiance to a foreign sovereign country, send money back to their foreign sovereign nation – when many hope to retire.
But, that doesn’t mean that I am not for controlled immigration. Or, that I favor one part of the world over the other. Belay that … I speak with forked tongue. I do not believe that we should allow Muslims into our country as long as they cannot honestly swear an oath to abide by our Constitution and the freedoms it provides to all. Especially religious freedoms.
I am willing to discuss the issues with all comers. But not from a position of hate. And, in a way, I am grateful for the re-post request. Normally, I would have never discovered this small group and certainly not given them a second thought had I heard their agenda. So, let us look at what they have to offer and the ways that they are trying to capitalize on America’s current dysfunction – in order to increase their power and ability to transform this nation into something that is as loathsome as a totalitarian socialist or communist nation, a totalitarian fascist nation. Where both ends of the political spectrum lead to the very same thing. SLAVERY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, regardless of their color, creed, ethnicity, national origin, religion, or any other defining characterizes. Where undesirables are eliminated because they are different. And, believe me, there will come a point when we are all undesirable.
A final note: NEVER AGAIN!
