The Brown Other, or Cashing in on Fear and Racial Animus are the Right's Bread & Butter, yes?

AND then there was Tweety last night, showing some real guts, which he sometimes does do, but not nearly often enough.  


Watch the video.  And take this to the bank:  The GOP do not WANT to do anything about real immigration reform.  For the GOP it is strictly a political issue, something to enrage their base and drive voters to the polls.  For crying out loud, even Chimpy McEffing Flightsuit tried to do something about immigration (and it looked like it might even pass through Congress until Rush got the ditto-heads to swamp DC with phone calls and e-mails.)  Tweety, god bless him, exposed that idiot (and the GOP) last night.  


Here are some facts:  Obama is stepping up enforcement.  Crime rates in Arizona have gone  down (except in Sheriff Arpaio's jurisdiction.)  Obama could build the Great Wall of Xenophobia along the border and it still would not be enough.  These Grand Old Party jokers do not support national ID cards, and though they talk tough about cracking down on employers, it is really hot gas.  Some tea-bagging, GOP blowhards have seriously advocated adjusting or repealing the 14th amendment.  Even Ayn Fucking Rand "My Dad Has Run for President 28 Times" Paul said as much.  They are quite content with the system as it is now.  They do not want to change a thing, really.


But it will crush the GOP in the end, this racist, cynical, constantly politicking 'tude of the Right & Ultra Right (who seriously seem to be the same these days.)  


It is:  The Brown Other.  It is as simple (& hateful) as that.  Those are the blinders this joke of an Opposition Party insist on wearing.  These immigrant children of perhaps the first (& def most greatest) Immigrant Nation yet are reduced to blithering, xenophobic court jesters, nay, fools, singing their songs for Lear.  And we all know how that turned out; Lear insane on the moors & the Fool nowhere to be found.  (That actor had switched roles, you see.)


Cashing in on fear and racial animus are the Right's bread & butter, yes? 


I still support a boycott.  Just because Judge Bolton rightly decimated this awful AZ bill does not make AZ alright to me, by any means.  The same folks who killed Chimpy's bill are the same folks screaming bloody murder about the Clinton appointed (& Kyl approved! He supports the home team, you see) Activist Judges.  It is a matter of principle to me. 


But the real damage is already being done.  The Brown Other, you see, are moving out of the state as fast as they can.  Good for them.  What is really needed is a massive The Brown Other general strike.  I know that this Tulsa born, Italian/Irish/English ancestor would show solidarity.  


MAN, I just went off, hunh?


I need to relax. 


I wanted to talk about Martin Amis' new fabulous novel, The Pregnant Widow and a host of other things.  In fact, when just when is Spitler gonna finish that Beatle Mono Box review?


Not tonight.
