Trump Takes on the New Nativists (Jeffrey Lord)
American Spectator ^ | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/05/2015 11:47:46 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Call them the New Nativists. The Know Everythings.

Appallingly arrogant, insufferably elitist, wildly disconnected from every day Americans and profoundly impressed by a presumed intellectual and moral superiority that others find decidedly un-conservative at best and bigoted at worst — some of Donald Trump’s critics have not only gone around the bend they have jumped the shark. And some of the anti-Trump criticism is tied tight to an illegal immigration movement that is — it needs to be said — flat out racist. Determined to remake an America based on color-blind principles of freedom and liberty into a balkanized country divided by race and class. Re-creating America as the new old-South Africa — or bringing the social, race-based class warfare of Mexico northward.

From time-to-time this “Summer of Trump” the cry has gone up that Donald Trump is a “nativist.” His stance on illegal immigration is said to reflect the values of the anti-immigrant “Know Nothings” of the 1850s. (In fact, Donald Trump on deporting illegals is in fact merely updating the 1950s deportation stance — actually carried out — of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Right now the biggest debate about the beloved Ike is the size and nature of his planned memorial in Washington.)

Everybody else came to America and became an American — the goal of Latinos is not to assimilate but hold fast to their own ethnic identity. But this is false. That is without doubt the goal of leftist illegal immigrant activists like Ramos, but by no means does he represent all Hispanics.

Quite true. "Hiapanics" is a bogus category anyway, lumping together anyone with a Spanish language sounding last name. Filipinos who have never spoken Spanish and have no Spanish blood. Italian Americans with Spanish sounding last names. Even many Mexican Americans I've known and worked with never spoke Spanish, which I'm sure Senior Ramos will be sad to hear. I've been saying for years that the GOPe clowns who think those people are cheering for illegal immigration are fools. The "Hispanics" who would ever vote GOP are NOT the ones cheering for open borders and amnesty. Quite the contrary, as Trump's support among "Hispanics" shows.

Would you vote for Hitler? He loved his country and was an alpha male.

"Actually it is true"

Certainly it's true.

How does that reflect on Trump?

Duke supported MANY Republicans in the past, I believe inclusive of Reagan.

Hitler was not an alpha male. He was a homosexual.

I’m increasingly impressed with Jeffrey Lord. He did some fine wok 4 years ago defending Newt when the same elitists were taking after him.
