Reason: Bush Presidency Dies at Border: How the administration lost control of the immigration debate
Topic: Current Events 1:11 am EST, Mar 31, 2006

"I don't think there should be a St Patrick's Day," anti-immigrant
television celebrity Lou Dobbs announced yesterday. Speaking to National
Council of La Raza president Janet Murguia on the topic of immigration
reform, the CNN personality continued, "I don't care who you are. I think we
should be celebrating what's common in this country."

To call this a Maoist sentiment would be a compliment.

Both commenter and commentee are, technically, conservatives.

This country is full of partisan commentators who play the straw man game. "I found one person on the other side of the fence who said something that is wrong. This is what those people actually think! Ergo, everyone on that side of the fence is "crazy."" This message is pounded in over, and over, and over, and over for years, until the hapless listeners are completely unable to view the "other side" as anything but crazy, and they are also completely immunized against critical thought. As they are used to criticism only coming from the "other side" they assume that anyone who criticises anything on their side must be on the other side, and as everyone on the other side is crazy, there is no point in listening to the criticism.

This is how they control you. The first step is to stop calling yourself a liberal and or conservative. Just stop.

Partisanship is stupid.
