Rove’s rave

Posted: July 12, 2006

White House political strategist Karl Rove addressed members of the National Council of La Raza in Los Angeles yesterday telling the group euphemistically described by the Dissociated Press as the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights group, “all immigrants are real Americans.”

While it may be true that most immigrants are real Americans, it is decidedly not true that members of La Raza are.

What is La Raza?

Well, let’s see: The group sponsors and directs racist schools. It promotes the “reconquista” movement that claims the American Southwest belongs to Mexico. In fact, its very name – which translates to “the race” – exposes its agenda. How do I say this politely? These people are Mexican Nazis.

But there was Karl Rove yesterday explaining that you and me – real Americans – have permitted the debate over his boss’ deliberate decision not to enforce duly enacted immigration laws to “cloud” our judgment.

“Everything that this country is, everything that we have achieved, everything that we hold, everything that we promise, is because we are a nation of diversity, brought together by immigration, and sharing a common dream,” he claimed.

It is clearly Rove’s lust for voters – legal or not – that has clouded his own judgment.

I think if I hear this old saw about America owing everything to diversity one more time, I may gag. I may hurl. I may scream. It’s not true. In fact, immigrants – and don’t forget this – owe everything to America. We’re not great because we’re diverse. We’re great because we once subscribed to a national creed. But thanks to the likes of La Raza haters, that’s no longer true.

Furthermore, diversity is the last thing on the minds of the La Raza crowd. La Raza no more promotes diversity and tolerance than does the Ku Klux Klan.

I guess Rove forgot what La Raza’s reaction was when his boss nominated Linda Chavez to the position of secretary of labor.

The lead spokeswoman of the group protested the naming of a Hispanic woman.

“The point of having a diverse Cabinet is to have someone who represents the views of that community,” she said. “But Chavez has made a career of saying, ‘I’m opposed to what most Latinos think and want.’”

La Raza may use the word “diversity.” But the meaning of the word has been turned upside down. It doesn’t mean what the dictionary says. It means the opposite. It means conformity. It means if you’re Hispanic, you must think a certain way – or else you’re not really Hispanic. You must believe what the founders of La Raza believe – that is to say what their puppet-masters in the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation who created the organization want them to believe.

But there was Karl Rove addressing these miscreants. There he was allying himself with them against us – real Americans.

And so America has achieved the kind of diversity La Raza hopes to achieve – political conformity. Both parties – the Republicans and the Democrats – cater to this anti-American scum.

It doesn’t even matter that the group continues to oppose most Bush administration policies. La Raza likes Bush’s amnesty plan and few real Americans do. So, Karl Rove is talking to them instead of us. And the Bush administration embraces these extremists.

A case in point: It didn’t bother George W. Bush one bit that his former White House counsel and current attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, was a member of La Raza.

This is a man in a position in which he is supposed to apply the law equally and without prejudice to any individual. Yet, he belonged to a group called “The Race.” He belonged to an exclusive club, a racist organization, a band of extremists.

The reception to Rove’s speech, not surprisingly, was tepid. He got polite applause amid protests of Bush’s war in Iraq.

It wasn’t anything like the reception former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo got when he addressed the group in 1997 and proudly affirmed “that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of this.”

Maybe Rove is looking forward to working his political magic on a bigger stage – the North American Union.
