A Minnesota Reader Coins A Slogan: “Contain McCain”; etc.
From:
Ronald Kyser: (e-mail
him)
A good slogan for the GOP: "Contain McCain"—that
is, stop him and/or make him behave.
For Republicans like me, our only chance for a
friendly White House
before 2013 would be if the GOP
forced McCain to accept an immigration restrictionist
Vice President, followed by McCain’s early retirement.
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, the GOP convention
host, might be McCain’s perfect Vice President— he's
been mostly tolerable on immigration, is already on the
Senator’s team, a working class Slav who appeals to
swing states from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania and is the
same age as
Barack Obama but with a ton more executive and
legislative experience.
Another possible motto: “Remember
William Henry Harrison.”
McCain, like
Harrison, is a stubborn Scottish-Irish
war hero—or so some say—and a septuagenarian
If McCain gets into the White House, I can see after
he serves a year or two, his doctors offering him a
choice: "Die in office or live long in retirement".
And we all want McCain to live longer than poor
Harrison who lasted a mere 30 days after he took office.
We do, don’t we?
Kyser claims—and we believe
him—that he has read every word of each VDARE.COM
columnist since the website first hit the Internet. His
previous letters are archived
here.

A California Reader Says That Conservatives Should Be Prepared To Impeach McCain
From:
Baltazar
Fedalizo (e-mail
him)
Conservatives should insist that
McCain first, name
Mitt Romney as his Vice President and second, demand
any and all reconquistas on his staff (like
Juan Hernandez) be fired immediately.
Concurrently, we should start an
impeachment committee to hit the ground running when
and if McCain decides to
consolidate North America or promote amnesty as he
has so often in the past.
Using the lessons learned from
Bill Clinton’s impeachment, we can negotiate the
obstacles ahead of time and nullify McCain from the
beginning.
With McCain ousted from the White
House, Romney, a moderate on immigration and other
Republican priorities, would be president.
Fedalizo, a 1997
graduate of California
State University, Domingo Hills with a B.A. in
communications, maintains a website promoting methods of
student success, See it
here.
In addition to owning
several small businesses, Fedalizo is a chef and ensign
in the US Navy reserve.

A Montana Reader Says If You’re Broke, The Law Is No Use
From: Tim McCoy (e-mail
him)
Re: An “Anonymous
Attorney’s” Letter:
A Lawyer’s Advice To Victimized White Men: Sue! Now!
Here’s my message to the surreptitious solicitor:
legal-schmegal, for us cents-less hoi-polloi the law
stinks!
I am a computer programmer and my nemeses are
foreign-born
H-1B visa holders. When I was in my early 60s, an
Indian H-1B worker approached me to suggest that I
was too old to be useful and that I should retire to
make room for more of his countrymen.
He was smart enough to make sure no credible
witnesses were within listening distance.
Legal action takes money that is better spent
enjoying
Montana’s pleasures than engaging in a lawsuit with
an iffy outcome in a stacked courtroom.
Things have a way of changing. I like to think that
the tables will soon turn on the smug H-1B workers.
Who knows? Maybe immigration law will be enforced
and those thousands who have overstayed their visas will
be sent packing.
McCoy’s previous letters
calling for a political purge and the audacity of
Mexicans charging Americans with racism are
here and
here.

A Downsized Massachusetts Reader Wonders What Chance He Would Have In Court
From:
Daniel La Doll (e-mail
him)
I have an engineering degree and was downsized—and
out—at one of the big Fortune 500 companies. Age
discrimination was the culprit.
In order to get my severance, I had to sign an
agreement not to sue.
For a while, I worked as a
substitute teacher. Under the impression that the
U.S. is desperately short of teachers, I did the
necessary course work to get my full-time certificate.
That was a waste of time and money.
Although my excellent resume got me dozens of
interviews, in the end I was rejected every time. I
purposely omitted my year of graduation, military
service, or anything else on my resume that would give
away my age.
At many interviews the principal or superintendent
told me to my face that all of their “baby
boomers” had retired. I was often asked about my
former employer’s retirement plan and why I felt the
need to continue working.
I didn’t sue my corporate employer because I signed
an agreement. And how can someone like me realistically
sue dozens of school boards? I didn’t tape record our
conversations so I can’t prove a thing.
Unfortunately for me, I am not black or Hispanic. If
I were, I would have the full support and power of the
federal government behind me.
Like many other white parents, I am sadly watching my
kids and their friends being
rejected for jobs even though they graduated with
honors and A-grade averages. Meanwhile, their
black and brown classmates are all working.
I’m disgusted, angry and looking for cold revenge.
VDARE.COM note:
Perhaps readers
who have experiences similar to McCoy’s and La Doll’s
but are skeptical about initiating expensive legal
recourse could consider saber rattling? Often the mere
threat of a lawsuit can produce the desired results
without incurring the costs of actually filing a
lawsuit. And such suits do occasionally bear fruit—see
Juan Mann's report
here, in which he reports
that "A
1995 civil rights class action lawsuit on behalf of
white males
against the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)
and its Chief Immigration Judge
Michael J. Creppy
has been settled for an undisclosed sum of taxpayer
dollars, potentially in the millions."[PermaLink]

A Primary School Math Teacher In Texas Shares A Joke About Today’s PC Classroom
From:
Sara Miller (e-mail
her)
Since it touches on the deteriorating quality of
public education,
political correctness and
immigration, all subjects of great interest to
VDARE.COM, I thought you would get a laugh (or a good
cry) out of this joke making the rounds in my small
school district.
