More from the right-wing nut over at Renew America,
Why is this the case? Because, as we all know, those on the Left are singularly inept when it comes to being able to marshal facts and logic and reason in support of their arguments and policy positions. It’s much easier — and likely much more emotionally satisfying to boot — for those on the Left to simply fall back on rank emotionalism. Few things invoke emotion more than the thought that somebody might hate or want to harm somebody else — or maybe hate and want to harm ME! — all because of an uncontrollable factor such as what the color of their skin is or where their ancestors are from. Race is the perfect vehicle for those who want to obfuscate discussion and get around uncomfortable facts that destroy their arguments. Which is, of course, why those on the Left and in the Democrat Party talk about race so much. In a sense, it’s the last refuge of the intellectually improficient scoundrel.
You can bet your bottom dollar that once amnesty gets firmly ensconced as a provision of the general Obamacare package, you will see this race card played, just as it was with the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. Opposition to the bill(s) will be cast as “racism.” The “racism” argument will be used to shepherd the bill through Congress against the public’s wishes, while suppressing what little vocal Republican opposition there has been to Obamacare to date. Though pushing for amnesty may seem like madness, it has a method to it. As a result, this may end up being make-or-break time for conservatives. The Left can only scream “racism” so many times before the charge simply has no force any more. I, for one, eagerly await the day when calling someone a “racist” has about as much meaning or effect as calling someone a “free silverite.” Will this health care monstrosity, with the amnesty monstrosity attached, be what finally drives Middle America to simply decided that we don’t care whether we’re called racists anymore, we’re going to do what’s right, regardless?
Read the whole thing. I hope I’m wrong, and that I don’t have to make another one of those “I told you so” posts.
