Republicans could do much to begin undoing the damage of the Rove-Bush-Gillespie years by seizing on President Barack Obama’s politically misguided and economically ignorant attacks on “protectionism.”

“I think it would be a mistake … at a time when worldwide trade is declining for us to start sending a message that somehow we’re just looking after ourselves and not concerned with world trade,” Obama said on the Fox television network. [Reuters]

That’s precisely the kind of gibberish George W. Bush was always spouting. The future of the Republican Party lies with anyone who will call Obama on it.

I’m working away at my desk, the internet playing in the background, and I hear it again: a song to the incoming president—snatches from a Barack Obama speech set to a powerful, reverent house beat.

“It was a creed written in the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation”, you hear Obama intoning, “…it was whispered by slaves and abolitionists on the long road to freedom…shared by immigrants…pioneers…workers…women reaching for the ballot…a president who took us to the moon…a King who took us to the mountaintop…

“Yes we can…achieve justice and equality…yes we can…yes we can….yes we can.”

Note to President-elect Obama: We already did. So just what is it about the nation that just elected you president is it that you want to change?

Another note to guys who make house music: we are Americans; we don’t worship politicians.

Watching the media’s reaction to the Sarah Palin interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson I was reminded of the stoning scene in 1979’s classic, “Monty Python’s Life of Brian”. [Read more →]

In a couple of daring counteractions occurring within minutes of each other this morning, a counteractivist struck two Washington, DC locations just blocks from the US Capitol. When it was over, the counteractivist had vanished, but the evidence of the counteractivism remained in plain view (see photos).

In the last ezine, I wrote that in any discussion of the coming minority status of whites in the United States, we should dismiss as Panglossian ninnies those proper, polite whites who affect to see no cause for concern in this event. Further, I wrote, a white reader already shrieking "racist!" shouldn’t bother reading on as the discussion "will be over your head anyway."

Well, it didn’t take long for a reader to prove my point.

By 2042, the Census Bureau says, whites will be a minority in the United States, and among children under 18, whites become the minority in just 15 years.

How long is 15 years? Fifteen years ago, Bill Clinton was president.

So, just around the corner, whites in America are going to be disempowered (assuming we remain a democracy) through a radical and rapid transformation of the nation’s demography on a scale unprecedented in world history.

In response to this news, individual whites–the proper, polite ones–will affect (or, if particularly ignorant of the world around them, evince) an attitude, at the least, of indifference and calm assurance, at the most, of celebratory enthusiasm.

For the sake of clear, adult thinking, let’s dismiss these proper, polite whites as a bunch of panglossian ninnies and adopt a position more in line with everything we know about humans. Let’s say that the Census Bureau projections are deeply troubling and cause for alarm for white Americans (and leave it to the other races in America to decide for themselves what this demographic shift means to them).

Cheering loudest for the narrow defeat in Fremont, NE last week of a city ordinance that would have required local businesses to comply with US immigration law was Nebraska Appleseed—an illegal immigration advocacy group funded by the Ford Foundation and George Soros, among others, that is part of a "network of 16 public interest justice centers in the U.S. and Mexico".

It was a victory cheer: Nebraska Appleseed played a role in killing the "anti-immigrant" measure, which would have required landlords and employers to use the federal E-Verify system. In written testimony to the Fremont city council, Norman Pflanz, staff attorney for Nebraska Appleseed, argued that since it is well established that immigration is a federal matter "the proposed Fremont ordinance would unlawfully attempt to regulate immigration because private actors (landlords and employers) and city officials would determine who was lawfully present, instead of federal officials."

Here’s the absurdity that Nebraska Appleseed wanted the people of Fremont to swallow:

Because a federal law is a federal law, local officials cannot take measures to increase public participation in a federal program provided by the federal government to the public for the purpose of increasing public compliance with that federal law.

How embarrassing for Fremont that some city council members were actually swayed by this hogwash.
