Dems Discuss Convenient Targets
We managed a few stories not related to politics. This way we do not feel
too bad for heading back there so soon. Yes, checked the Blog for America
stuff and here we go.
The link for the DFA post & comment is here
And our comment somehow was printed below.
It is written by Stanford Matthews
In the battle between political parties nearly any topic could
be characterized as convenient. Since the discussion is written
by someone who appears to have an Hispanic surname and is speaking
of unfair treatment of Hispanics during a campaign, it is not so
unreasonable to suspect that a bias exists on both sides of the
argument.The ad is attributed to political opponents and it is stated by
Gonzalez that “rightly so” an ally requests denouncement of the
ad. Yet no such denouncement is asked of the AP, claimed to be
the source of the image description provided.
It is unclear with the next paragraph if the above mention of AP
is within the subject ad. For the AP is apparently the source of
Sen. Chafee’s response to the denouncement request. The response
may be fair. The contents of the ad may actually have happened.
Gonzalez it appears, may really be expressing dismay that a story
that is not flattering was used to further the political ambition
of an opponent.
No one will likely argue that many aspects of national security,
law enforcement and anti-terrorism efforts in this country are
flawed. That’s not sufficient reason to ignore matters related to
immigration and border control. To allow uncontrolled immigration
to continue is naive. The wild west no longer exists. To be asked
to trust the altruistic intentions of every immigrant is a recipe
for disaster.
People like me are, first, bothered by the first act of a person
here illegally being the violation of federal law. In the case of
Hispanic immigrants, being told they’re only doing jobs Americans
won’t do. Then watching the same non-citizens use the freedom to
assemble to protest and wave a Mexican flag as confirmation of the
desire to be American. I am unfortunately unconvinced.
