As republicans our number one job – our overarching, maybe our
only concern is to not upset anyone – particularly protected groups. We can’t
say anything about the overwhelming and disproportionate amount of black crime,
black murders, etc. They say this will anger the “black community.” We can’t
stand up against same-sex marriage or any LGBT cause or we’ll anger the gay
community. And we darn sure can’t have anything but respect and reverence for
people who cross our southern border illegally, particular Mexicans. That is
certain to cause ever single person of Latin heritage to instantly and forever
turn against us.
And Donald Trump has broken this most important commandment, for
he dared to be brutally honest about what’s really happening on the border and
who is making the crossing.
Here’s a quick recap:
“When do we beat
Mexico at the border? The US has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s
problems,” Trump exclaimed in his now infamous speech.
“When Mexico sends
its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re
not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re
bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing
crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
“But I speak to
border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common
sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people.”
“It’s coming from
more than Mexico. It’s coming from all over South and Latin America, and it’s
coming probably — probably — from the Middle East. But we don’t know. Because
we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s
happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.”
So now the soft gooey center of the Republican Party and
faux-conservative intelligentsia have come out from hiding under their desks to
line up against the Donald.
Former establishment standard bearer Mitt Romney told CNN: “Yes,
I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans.
And it’s unfortunate.” And in an obvious effort to further divide the right the
reporter followed up with: “Do you think the candidates should speak up about
that?” Predictably, Romney’s reply was “I think a number of them have.”
Rick Perry called Trumps remarks “offensive,” and that “he will
have to stand up and defend those remarks – I never will.” Rick Santorum kind
of said nothing while saying something. Jeb said that Trump is just doing this
to inflame and to incite.”
“Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but
also divisive,” Marco Rubio said. “Our next president needs to be someone who
brings Americans together – not someone who continues to divide.
And then there’s my man Ted Cruz who said: “The Washington
cartel doesn’t want to address that. The Washington cartel doesn’t believe we
need to secure the borders. The Washington cartel supports amnesty and I think
amnesty’s wrong, and I salute Donald Trump for focusing on it.” Way to go Ted!
So really – what did Trump say that was offensive – the truth?
He didn’t say all Mexicans are rapists and criminals – but there are sure
enough of them. Murderers, rapists, MS-13 gang members, drug and human
traffickers. Want just a few? Here’s a link.
And really Marco? Listen to your own quote. “Our next president
needs to be someone who brings Americans together.” But we are speaking of
illegals, not Americans. Did you just misspeak? Was this just gibberish
boilerplate or did you tip your hand?
So to heck with the whole lot of you cowardly Republicans. You
just showed us all that nothing will be done at the border if you are elected,
and that’s not acceptable.
I’m really starting to come around on The Donald. He’s still a
progressive, but maybe his courage will rub off on others.
