Re: Joe Guzzardi’s Column:
How Vicente Outfoxed Dubya
I'm puzzled by
Guzzardi’s statement that, "Bush is willing to take
down the Republican Party in 2006 before he will do
right thing on immigration for the American people."
Other than not
bothering to vote, what alternative to the
Republican Party is there? Surely he’s not referring
to the
Democrats?
While I quite agree with Guzzardi’s assessment of
President Bush, I believe that he’s out of sync with
his party on the immigration issue.
Lest we forget, the
Democrats gave us the 1965 law that began our
present immigration disaster, and a Democratic Congress
gave us the
1986 amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The DNC claims to support "secure borders and
orderly immigration," but their true position can be
discerned by their description of Minutemen founder
Jim Gilchrist as an "anti-immigration extremist."
(See the DNC website on Gilchrist
here:)
Democrat doesn't automatically translate to bad,
but it does seem that Democrats
want to put the whole world on welfare.
I'm glad that Guzzardi and his fellow VDARE.COM
contributors are exceptions, but they don't seem to have
much influence on their national party.

Guzzardi comments: When Johnson writes about the
Democrats who regularly contribute to VDARE.COM, he is
referring to Linda Thom, Brenda Walker, Randall Burns,
Don Collins and me. Perhaps given the state of things
these days, there are others who have not made an
official announcement.
As a
fiscal and social conservative, I used to be a
Republican. I voted for Barry Goldwater (hardly a man is
still alive, etc, etc), Richard Nixon (several times),
Gerald Ford, Ronald Regan, and George H. W. Bush.
And not
all my non-Republican presidential votes went to
Democrats. I supported John Anderson and Ross Perot.
If the
G.O.P. went back to being fiscally and socially
conservative (as in its immigration policy) I could
return to my roots and vote Republican again.
