I am guessing that we really need to hurry up and get some internet for MT, ID, WY, and SD.

There was a racial riot at Ole Miss.? Wow. Did not know that until now.

Let's not forget the racists in the Midwest and Northeast.

Can Twitter not be used in Hawaii and Alaska? Not on the map, brah.

[Latarian Milton]

chinks have claimed hawaii and alaska was sold back to russia, and it's obvious commies have banned twitter in both states (if you can still call either of them a "state")

There's one pretty much on top of the town I live in here in Pa.

I think I know that guy.

Ish.

I got stuck in traffic behind a truck with a bumper sticker for John Cornyn on one side and an AM station on the other. Knowing what I was in store for, I tuned into the AM talk station just to see what their take on the election was.

1) It was a conspiracy. The election was pre-decided, like the WWF.
2) Democrats won because of all the lazy blacks and "mexicans"

The bits went on with really offensive racial stereotypes and caricatures that kind of shocked me.

These rednecks were seriously racist, and very blatant and unapologetic about it.

The next time some Republican complains about being unfairly called a racist, I am going to laugh in their face, and point them to their own AM talk radio shows.

It isn't just the AM talk radio bumpkins.

Mr Krikorian, ... pours water on the suggestion offered by many that Republicans ought to moderate their stance on immigration as a matter of some urgency. His reasoning is this: a more moderate stance on immigration will attract fewer Hispanic voters than it will lose white voters (thank goodness someone on the right is finally working on the most pressing question of the day: how can Republicans attract more white voters). Hispanics, you see, "are poorer than average, pay less in taxes, use more in government services, benefit from affirmative action and are less likely to have health insurance—so the Democrats' message of big government and racial quotas is going to resonate with them, as it always has." He goes on to assure readers that some of his best friends are Hispanic. Joke! Joke! He does, however, offer a little head pat to Hispanics: "a quarter to a third of them," he writes, "especially those who are more assimilated, better educated and middle-class are open to Republican arguments."

of cardinal importance to attracting a greater share of an increasingly multicultural populace's vote lies not in any single shift in policy, but in not talking like Mark Krikorian. Or like his colleague, John O'Sullivan, who writes that "immigration, by increasing diversity, slowly frays the social fabric", a statement of stunning vacuity but decided nastiness. Or like Andrew McCarthy, who in a truly unhinged column compares "Hispanic activists" to Islamists in that both "are the vanguard of a different culture that they passionately believe is superior to the culture of individual liberty." On the subject of immigration Mr Obama was profoundly vulnerable: he has no legislative victories to his credit, and he has deported more undocumented immigrants than any president in history. But he is not vulnerable to a party that endorses, or even fails to repudiate, legislation that shreds the fourth amendment and requires police to check brown people's papers, that proposes self-deportation (in practice: making life as intolerable as possible for undocumented immigrants so they just go home) as its chosen immigration policy and that generally seems to think of them as people to be either chased out or, at best, ruefully and marginally tolerated. ("One-quarter of you people seem OK; the rest of you are lazy affirmative-action moochers" does not an election win.) To put it more simply: laying policy aside, a party that equates, as Mr McCarthy seems to, appealing to Hispanic voters with losing your core identity is not yet in a position to appeal to Hispanic voters. And a party that believes diversity results in social decay does not have much chance with a diverse electorate.
