Racism is more than a political tactic today it is also a business for many who have a vested interest in keeping the racism pot stirred, probably the worst racists of all are those who claim only certain races can be racist while exempting others.

I'm sure the hundreds of millions that were starved to death under the little red book communist regime wouldn't agree.

The political class push back is to come up with this scamnesty plan to create an expanded Democrat big government voting base. after causing the illegal alien problem by not enforcing the laws and intentionally misinterpreting the 14th amendment birthright citizen clause to create the so-called anchor baby problem which is at the heart of the illegal immigration problem itself, that and the jobs magnet. we may well be passed the tipping point of more takers then makers in this country.

Kudos for Mike from Norwalk (Iowa?) as well and reading through his previous comments elsewhere leaves no doubt Mike is very well read and articulate in his responses to the occasional pseudo-intellectual or occupy/socialist lurker. Along with many other commenters who are equally enlightened who represent the new threat. In 2003 I attended an educational seminar regarding the Constitution and American history in regard to our founding principles and there were about a dozen people in attendance and about 2009 I attended the same seminar again bringing some friends except this time there were over 100 people attending. People are waking up and educating themselves enabling them to hone their BS detectors, it's a darn good sign! The statist response was to loose their minions of useful occupy idiots who couldn't even define individually what their protest was about.
