Douglas Brinkley: Obama Will Become "A Folk Hero to Latino Americans" (video)
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 20, 2014 | Real Clear Politics

DOUGLAS BRINKLEY, PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: You will find today's tea party crowd not defending Reagan or Bush. They'll say they were wrong, so why are we doubling down even greater on it now? I would tell you to look at this as to who President Obama is. He is a president who is unable to get anything done with Congress, sees immigration as a national security issue and like really a Theodore Roosevelt or FDR is going to lay down this heavy marker on history right now and become in doing so a folk hero to Latino Americans.

And by folk hero I assume Mr. Brinkley means a person like Sergeant Garcia?

Che Guevara already occupies that space on the walls of left wingers.

Good Lord! I knew Brinkley was “of the Left.” I had no idea he was stark, raving crazy.

Doesn’t this deserve a BARF alert in the title?

funny, I don't remember Reagan being made a folk hero after his amnesty...

I think the democrats are overestimating the appreciation and loyalty of hispanics.

Che Guevera was my first thought.

Probably. But he was elected president of this country. Not that any of us here fell for it, but he was in theory at least supposed to have been our president.

If some future Republican President allowed 40 million Chinese to come to the United States illegally he’d be a ‘hero’ to millions of Chinese.

Of if a President gave away large sums of American money to some Eastern European nation - he would be a ‘hero’ to them.

So what?

So what?

That’s one evil standard - maybe it’d be better to give a liquor store to a street drunk... same hero status - same ethics.

Maybe Hussein could cap it off with an ISIS move live onstage. That would cement his relations with the Jihad community.

It never occurs to our betters that immigration policy is supposed to serve the interests of citizens. It is not supposed to be a means of managing demographics, or voting patterns, or wage levels, or providing grunt labor for farms or even high tech labor for industry. It is supposed to serve the interests of citizens first, foremost, and only.

But worry not; no one will ever ask you to approve of immigration policy. There will never even ask your opinion before issuing their directives and quotas.

Once Odungacare swirls the toilet bowl, Lawless amnesty with be his one and only “Signature” policy achievement. Some achievement, there is a large percentage of Hispanics whom are not for what the Clown Princess is doing.

A recent poll cited half of the American Latinos are not in favor of executive amnesty. He won't be a folk hero to them!

Indeed....like Benedict Arnold is to the English.

Like Tamerlane is to Uzbeks & Tajiks.

Amnesty will never end for “hispanics”. It celebrates the revolving door policy this idiot country has had since the 1960’s.

This is the icing on the cake for Ted Kennedy’s immigration act...Obama is about to light the candle.

You have good reason to feel that way. Your voting power has been replaced by non Americans.

However, I am pretty angry too. We always talk about what is the tipping point.

I guess there isn’t one, although we might get pissed when they haul us off to re-education camps or deny us medical care. These things are not crazy to think anymore.
