Here is something about the speech sent along to us from Bay Buchanan and Team America PAC.

Dear Friend,

The other night, Tom gave the opening remarks at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville. And the controversy was immediate. Not with attendees, let me clarify; they gave Tom three standing ovations.

He was so great! Speaking from his heart, as Tom always does, he spoke of the Founding Fathers and how they were part of a country divided into three groups–the Patriots, the Tories, and those who didn’t care. It is no different today, Tom told the crowd. Today’s Patriots, including the attendees of this convention, are fighting for our Republic, our religion and our civilization.

How do I know he knocked it out of the park? Because he has been accused of nativism (see fourth paragraph from the bottom), and the liberals are up in arms (see the comments) about it. You are not striking the right note on immigration unless you are being accused of nativism and have the PC thought police in a tizzy.

PS: It seems that the rumors of the death of the National Tea Party Convention were premature. The 600 available tickets allegedly sold out. But it was certainly tainted by all the bad press before the event.

That’s what prompted a Southern belle to observe:

“It really happened! The Saints are in the Super Bowl and hell has frozen over!”

Thanks to Mark for forwarding!

I happened to be watching “Fox News Sunday” where Chris Wallace interviewed Sarah Palin. She had just recently given her speech at the Tea Party Convention and I noticed her lapel pin. There were two flags on it, the Israeli flag with the Stars & Stripes. No one is surprised that she’s a proponent of the Israeli state, but I think it says something that she would wear such a thing to an event like the Tea Party Convention. This is yet another sign that the neocons may be using her as a “useful idiot” to co-opt this movement. Continue Reading »

Oh, no:

The federal government will be closed on Monday in the Washington area, according to the Office of Personnel Management, as the region continues to plow out of an historic snowstorm.

How can the nation function without the guidance of the Wise Ones in DC? Who will prioritize, organize, and direct our otherwise feeble, blind efforts while ensuring we comply with the latest standards of inclusion, tolerance, and achieving diversity?

I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Regarding open-borders-advocate Ron Unz’s recent article in TAC downplaying mestizo crime, the Statsaholic has a new post demonstrating Unz’s (intentionally?) dubious methodology:

According to The American “Conservative”, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is as Law Abiding as Mary Poppins

Much like a magician sawing a lady in half, American Conservative Publisher and Writer Ron Unz has created an illusion by making it so we only see a misrepresentative part of what is actually there.

The basic issue with Unz’s “His-Panic” Article, where he tries to convince people that Hispanics are nearly as law abiding as Whites, is that because Hispanics are much more likely to be in the Country Illegally, they are far more likely to have the crimes they commit go to a Federal Court.

And this applies even for those of their crimes that aren’t immigration related.

After all, most often an Illegal Immigrant will only be taken into custody by the Feds because he committed a Violent or Drug Related Crime, as opposed to being taken in by the Feds just because he was in the Country illegally.

So guess what Unz does in his study?

He deliberately excludes people incarcerated for Crimes they were convicted of in Federal Court, instead only looking at people incarcerated for Crimes they were convicted of in State Courts.

Thus he rejects the far more valid technique used in The Color of Crime, which involved combining those convicted in State Court with those convicted in Federal Court to get a comprehensive and unbiased sample.

For this reason the American Conservative Article can be described as nothing more than a damned lie, carefully designed to dupe the gullible and weak minded.

You can count on Pat Buchanan to dish out the reality that most want to ignore, and I generally applaud him for that. But this time, he’s serving up more reality than I can handle:

Republicans already counting the seats they will pick up this fall should keep in mind Obama has a big card yet to play.

Should the president declare he has gone the last mile for a negotiated end to Iran’s nuclear program and impose the “crippling” sanctions he promised in 2008, America would be on an escalator to confrontation that could lead straight to war.

And should war come, that would be the end of GOP dreams of adding three-dozen seats in the House and half a dozen in the Senate.

If you’re president of the United States — or a calculating monster concerned only about keeping his grip on power (yes, I’m repeating myself again) — war is the perfect solution. The leftists will cheer on the overthrow of a regime that denies civil rights to women and homosexuals. Andrew Sullivan, who’s almost as obsessed with regime change in Iran as he is with Sarah Palin, will break out the rainbow flag beside Old Glory, and will once again cheer on the Pentagon’s crusade for homosexual liberation.

Imagine pro-war, any war Sarah Palin standing arm-in-arm with Andrew Sullivan as both salute the troops. War does that with former foes.

And of course the chickenhawk Neocons will giggle in anticipation of mass mayhem prepared just the way they like it, far away, and against much weaker Muslim victims. As Buchanan notes in the same article:

Daniel Pipes in a National Review Online piece featured by the Jerusalem Post – “How to Save the Obama Presidency: Bomb Iran” – urges Obama to make a “dramatic gesture to change the public perception of him as a lightweight, bumbling ideologue” by ordering the U.S. military to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Citing six polls, Pipes says Americans support an attack today and will “presumably rally around the flag” when the bombs fall.

Pipes is right, of course. Already, I can hear Rahm Emanuel whispering in his boss’ ear, “Wag that dog, Obama.”

The lovely Lindsey Vonn is to be honoured by appearing on Sports Illustrated’s Feb. 8, 2010 cover, but Women Talk Sports is concerned this might be due in part to her beauty and not fully her athletic ability…

Over the last 60 years researchers have shown that about 4% of all SI covers have portrayed women.

When females are featured on the cover of SI, they are more likely than not to be in sexualized poses and not in action–and the most recent Vonn cover is no exception.

However there aren’t many Billie Jean Kings (29 yr. old woman defeated 55 yr. old man); few women can compete with men athletically. We watch in part because they’re lovely. Take Anna Kournikova: she was tremendously popular because of her beauty.

Like others, when I first heard the rumor that Bill Gates scholarships excluded European Americans, I thought the rumor must be an exaggeration. I was wrong. The scholarship application FAQ’s page clearly states:

Students are eligible to be considered for a GMS scholarship if they: Are African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American or Hispanic American…..

What ethnic groups comprise Asian Pacific Islander Americans?

Asian Pacific Islander Americans include persons having origin from Asia and/or the Pacific Islands. Asian includes persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. Pacific Islander includes persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawai’i, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. Citizens of the republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau are also eligible to be nominated.

So, basically, almost anyone can apply — anyone except a white person.

As Rob Sanchez points out, this should be no surprise:

Theodore Cross, writer at the The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, wrote a paper in 1999 that discusses the history of the Bill Gates scholarship: “Bill Gates’ Gift to Racial Preferences in Higher Education“. Make no mistake, Cross thinks it’s a darn good idea that Gates discriminates against whites, and he isn’t very subtle about it either:

“Racial conservatives are correct. The huge billion-dollar Gates Millennium Scholarship program is racially discriminatory. The terms could not be cleaner. Whites may not apply!”

It is an all-too-familiar plot: Government-sanctioned big-business vs. farmers. With the price of dark-leaf tobacco spiraling downward, debt-plagued planters of Kentucky’s “Black Patch” region grew increasingly desperate during the early 1900’s. The gigantic American Tobacco Company had achieved unchallenged control over the market, and planters were stuck selling at whatever price the tobacco trust dictated.

Here, though, the story deviates from the script, for the farmers refused to roll over and die…

Hispanic News reports:

The Roman Catholic Church has rejected Hispanics and Hispanics are now becoming the cornerstone of a new church breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church to join other churches.

Countless appeals have been made to the bishop resulting in no action by the bishop. It is because of this neglect, action is being considered to have Phoenix Hispanic Catholics break away from the Diocese of Phoenix and form a new church — The American Catholic Church.

Wikipedia on the new church:

The American Catholic Church in the United States (ACCUS) is a small Independent Catholic denomination originating from the Old Catholic Christian denomination. The ACCUS holds similar theological beliefs and practices to the Roman Catholic Church. However, like Orthodox churches, it is not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church or under Papal jurisdiction.

Historians, political scientists, and legal experts attempt to decipher strange document found in the city in which it is believed to have been composed:

Researcher Lorianne Updike Toler was intrigued by the centuries-old document at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

On the back of a treasured draft of the U.S. Constitution was a truncated version of the same document, starting with the familiar words: “We The People. . . .”

Some experts allege the document chartered something called a “republic” with “limited powers,” something that modern political scientists agree would only prevent the government from doing good things.

“This was clearly written by backward, unsophisticated people,” said one noted scholar of government.

“ATLANTA (Reuters) – Shares of major U.S. defense contractors rose on Monday after the Obama administration unveiled a defense budget for fiscal 2011 that seeks a 3.4 percent increase in the Pentagon’s base budget and $159 million to fund missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.” ~ Reuters

The “anti-war Obama” is yet again increasing our military budget? I suppose he has no choice if he’s going to engage in nation building in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, and probably Darfur. As we already noted here at CHT, Obama is in many respects “Bush on steroids,” but don’t hold your breath for any denunciations by the MSM.

Regardless, given that Obama’s first term will probably prove to be a complete disaster, much like Bush’s eight years, it’s unsurprising that people are now speculating Obama will not seek a second term, something I predicted months ago (in private conversations). He’s unqualified for the job and, at the end of the day, probably would prefer to jive Oprah about how interesting his life is than pretend to govern.

Believe it or not, it’s true.

Did Palin’s neocon advisers have any input on this? What are their thoughts? Inquiring minds want to know.

And why is Rand Paul able to attract support from movement cons, while his dad evoked hysteria in some movement con circles? I have a few ideas on why this might be, but I would like to hear some other people’s thoughts on this.

I keep receiving emails from various conservative email lists advertising that Marco Rubio is a “real conservative” – versus Charlie Crist, “a liberal in disguise.” (If you haven’t been following, Rubio is a white Cuban-American vying with Charlie Crist in the Florida Republican primary for Mel Martinez’s U.S. Senate seat.) What never is discussed in these emails, however, is Rubio’s ambiguous record on immigration.

While it is true that both Martinez and Crist have supported mass amnesty and Rubio has stated he would have opposed the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, Rubio otherwise seems to be intentionally vague on the issue of immigration.

“Sen.-elect Scott Brown, R-Mass., told Barbara Walters he supports Roe v. Wade and believes that states should decide the issue of gay marriage, not the federal government, during an interview that aired today on ABC’s This Week.” ~ On Politics

Contrary to popular belief, overturning Roe v. Wade would not outlaw abortion but only return the issue to the states.  Why does Brown think that states should decide the issue of gay marriage but not abortion?  Are Brown’s positions at all consistent? I’m sure it’s just a matter of political expediency, but it illustrates how lopsided popular appeals to states’ rights are.

Neoliberal Ron Unz, owner of The American Conservative and author of a recent article in favor of Mexican immigration (titled “His-Panic” copying the title of Geraldo Rivera’s recent pro-immigration book), questions the existence of violent mestizo gangs – all but implying that these organizations are mere chimeras created by Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, and Tom Tancredo. In fact, Unz even goes so far to put the word gang in scare quotes.

Don’t tell Unz, but last week there was a mestizo gang sweep in Riverside area. The LA Times writes:

“Some 650 officers representing 34 agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, took part in the raids, designed to decapitate East Side Riva, or ESR, a gang with a 20-year history of wreaking havoc in Riverside County and beyond.”

“The gang’s territory sits between downtown and the edges of UC Riverside. According to the Riverside County district attorney’s office, the gang has about 820 members and maintains long-standing ties with the Mexican Mafia, which protects ESR members in prison in exchange for “taxes” on the gang’s illegal drug sales.”

Regarding the percentage of mestizos in gangs, the blogger Inductivist pulls up two recent studies on gang membership across the country belying the dubious claims of Unz. These studies demonstrate that mestizos are twice as likely as whites to be in gangs.

Inductivist comments:

Gang membership prevalence among Hispanic males approaches that of blacks, and is roughly double that of whites…. Affiliation with a gang ranges all the way from a wannabe to a hardcore thug, and these surveys certainly include plenty of the former. But they are consistent with media and criminal justice depictions of violent gangs–both on the streets and in the prisons–being dominated by blacks and Hispanics. It is not imaginary.

How much do you know about immigration?

Take a look at the first three immigration module courses at the new Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Online University.

About the university:

This new “gateway” offers facts, figures, and historical perspectives on how the immigration issue has affected the United States’ political, social, and economical realms over the past 150 years.  It also begins to offer solutions to bring about true immigration reform that serves the national interests of the United States.

FAIR has created this educational curriculum, beginning with three initial modules, and will continue to add new modules over the coming months. Once you’ve completed the three initial courses you will be prompted to download your own copy of the FAIR Online University certificate of completion.

We hope you enjoy the Online University and that you will share the information you find here with your friends and colleagues.

Our calls here at CHT to skip the so-called “Tea Party Convention”  next month seems to be having an effect. Today it was announced both Congresswomen Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) are pulling out from their speaking gigs.  Now Sarah Palin is the only draw to this event and if she decides to say thanks but no thanks (and turn down an easy 100 grand), well then, it’s not going to be much of a convention.

But I’m sure Conservative INC. will still enjoy the stay at the luxury hotel.
