Race, California’s Final Solution
The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew. -Adolf Hitler

For the Race, everything, for those outside the Race, nothing. -Motto of MEChA

By now, most of us know Cruz Bustamante, the great Democratic hope in the race to replace the disgraced…Gov. Davis, that is, in the Great California Recall. Bustamante, the state’s current Lieutenant Governor, was a member of the student group MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan). This group’s charter calls for the annexation to Mexico—by violent means if necessary—of the entire Southwestern United States. Bustamante has refused to distance himself from this racist hate group. Not surprisingly, much of the media has given the Hispanic liberal Democrat a pass on the issue, and is apparently more concerned that Republican contender Arnold Schwarzenegger’s father was a brownshirt. God help California.

There’s a reason Bustamante won’t repudiate his old club—he doesn’t want to lose the racist vote. He knows there are plenty of Anglophobes out there who would drop him in a Mexican minute if he were to turn from them. Consider this: There are as many as 300 MEChA chapters nationwide, 100 in California alone, and many of these chapters are in our high and even junior high schools! God help America!

Old Cruz knows that once Gov. Davis signs SB 60, the “drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens” bill, he should have no trouble attracting a whole new set of voters. He may be a racist, but he’s not stupid. Surely he can add.

Many who do not live in the Southwest do not understand the magnitude of the immigration problem. Unfortunately, this is true of far too many in the conservative media. It seemed no one cared until Bill O’Reilly decided to make it an issue. Many laugh off the issue, particularly the beliefs of dangerous groups like MEChA and their ultimate aims. I’m not laughing.

Consider: A Zogby poll done last year reported that 58% of Mexicans believe the U.S. Southwest belongs to them. Only 28% disagreed. And a similar majority believes it is okay to enter the U.S. illegally. So rid yourself of the idea that MEChA represents some small fringe group. Starting to understand Bustamante’s reluctance to renounce them?

“Race” is the dirty word everybody’s afraid of. It causes politicians—Democrats and Republicans alike—to stumble over themselves so as not to offend voters “of color”. It causes politicians to make irrational calculations. Example: Proposition 187, the 1994 California initiative that aimed to make it illegal to provide free services to illegal aliens, passed with 59% of the state’s voters, including 31% of Hispanics. Yet one liberal judge overturned it. Then for years, the “mainstream” media demonized the proposition so that today, many run from it like the plague, instead of embracing it for both its popularity and fiscal sanity.

Another example: The American people, in overwhelming numbers, want the government to stop illegal immigration, by militarizing our borders if necessary. Yet politicians, led by the President/ Karl Rove, continue to pander. It’s disgraceful, dangerous, and is causing the slow asphyxiation of this country.

Governor Davis once was opposed to the “drivers’ licenses for illegals” bill, but now that he’s desperately scrambling to retain power, he’s promised to sign it, and anything else leftist pressure groups thrust in front of him before the voters shove him overboard.

Citizen Schwarzenegger is trying to have it both ways. He says he’s against drivers’ licenses for illegals but out of the other side of his mouth says that we need to find a way to take care of these people. Many have taken that—quite understandably—as code for amnesty. He suggested having the federal government (meaning citizens from all the states) pay the tab for our uninvited houseguests. This is the best idea his fabled brain trust could come up with?!

Racism, when practiced against whites by liberal non-whites, is still acceptable in America today. In contrast, white racism, as a movement of any real power, has been dead for some time. Yes, it’s still employed constantly as a straw man—the ever-ready excuse for all occasions of liberal minority failure, but in the real world, the movement is finished. As proof of that, there’s not a single white racist leader who currently enjoys any respectability among white Americans. But there are still plenty of examples of popular black and brown racist demagogues.

Count me in among the growing number of Americans ready to denounce racism anywhere it rears its ugly head, no matter the color of that ugly head. For look at the alternative: My state, California, is in a critical crisis. It may not survive. And one of the principle reasons for this crisis is the assault on our culture and economy by illegal aliens, most from south of the border. The leading Democratic candidate is clearly on the side of the invaders, and the leading Republican shows no desire to defend the state from invasion.

Unfortunately, California and the other border states are just the tip of this nasty iceberg. We are indeed witnessing a national suicide, and it’s clear an intervention is in order.
