Ahh, yes, the whine of the free traitors. Are we not giving enough American jobs and technology to China? Has India not taken sufficient employment from us? Does the carcass of America's industry have too many scraps of meat yet hanging upon the bones?
There will come a day when free traitors are utterly repudiated. I await that day.

There's a difference between xenophobia and loyalty to one's country but obviously the writer wouldn't know that.
When publicists for the Global Economy first began work, they spoke of broad benefits for America and its workers. I've been watching for these myself and so far none of them have appeared. I wonder when they will.

Being Non-White is an "accident of birth"???? How is being black an accident? If two white people have a black kid the husband better start putting two and two together.
To: Lorianne
Where Kerry said "American," I substituted "white." SO using HUUUUGE flaw in the logic makes no difference????
Trouble is, there are those who would follow that line.

This writer is an example of the convergence of corporate conservatism with liberal multiculturalism/guilty white liberalism. A strong mix, if the CorpCons can secure enough Dems they'll eject the social conservatives.
He's wrong to chastise Kerry. Kerry's a fellow traveler, his pro-American statements in 2004 an election related anomaly.

So if I urge people to patronize local businesses and those business to hire local I am xenophobia.
That may not be the silliest thing I have heard today but it's close.

Actually I think the article has merit, if only to confound pro-labor liberals. :)

The only change I made is this: Where Kerry said "American," I substituted "white." This would imply that America is 100% White (Euro-American), and the world (including Europe) in non-White.

Too late, he's already gone blind.

So explain why is it good for me to pay an extra tax on a foreign car so UAW members can get more money for less work?
