Tancredo At American University: Maybe It Is About Race”
by Cooper Sterling Cooper Sterling’s analysis of Tom
Tancredo’s speech at I admire Tancredo's work on the
immigration issue, but like many other politicians he
reverts back to the standard pablum on racial and ethnic
diversity.
Of the Republicans who ran for the nomination last year,
I believe only Ron Paul was willing to put civil rights
laws in their proper context of depriving individuals of
liberty. Hope to see more of your articles on
VDARE.COM in the
future.
Cooper Sterling replies:
The main point is that Tancredo, an individual
who deserves recognition for his commitment on
immigration issues, didn’t have to kowtow to an
audience overwhelmingly unsympathetic to his views. He
could have followed
Ron
Paul’’s lead and stated unapologetically his core
beliefs without clarifying to his opponents time and
again what he supposedly doesn’t accept. |
