A Reader Doesn't Like Being Called Ignorant By
The USCCB
A Reader Suggests Alberto
Gonzales Should Use "Hispanic Culture" As A Defense
From: Roger Lucheta [email]
In following the
Alberto Gonzales matter, it occurred to me that he
should pull the "cultural defense". The media
have
identified Gonzales repeatedly as a
Mexican ("Hispanic") rather
than as an American, and he has not objected.
Given that
dirty politics,
cronyism, and
corruption are the very essence of his country's
approach to governance, why doesn't he just pull the
cultural defense? (For an interesting example of this in
Germany, read the May, 2007 issue of
Chronicles, where a German judge ruled that
wife-beating is o.k. for
Mohammedans, since the Koran justifies it.) [Germany
Cites Koran in Rejecting Divorce, By Mark
Landler, New York Times, March 22, 2007)] Who
knows, maybe the
Mexican Consulate will send someone to defend him!
VDARE.com Note:
Alberto Gonzales was born in Texas, and Hispanic
activist think he's neither disloyal nor anti-American
enough to suit them. [See
Alberto Gonzales and the Politics of Whiteness,
on the ĄPara Justicia y
Libertad! Blog. (Send them
mail)]
But he meets
our standards. For
disloyalty, that is.
