Obama Panders To Latino Vote—Will GOP “Pander” To Americans?

President Obama is up for re-election this year. Do you suppose he´ll do anything to win the white working-class vote, or the white rural vote, or the white middle class suburban vote?


Not a chance! But how about the black vote? The Obama campaign has organized “African-Americans for Obama”. You wonder why they even bother. In 2008, Obama won the black vote by 95%—4%. Does anybody really expect a significant difference in 2012?


It’s the Hispanic Vote, though, that we’re constantly told is really up for grabs and is So Important. Allegedly, Hispanics Will Decide This Election (So We’d Better Do What They Say.)


That’s a lot of baloney, as various articles published here at VDARE.COM have demonstrated. But the Main Stream Media push the idea. And so do Hispanic consultants. Many Republicans believe it and force themselves into various contortions to please the Hispanic Vote.


Obama thinks he has the Hispanic Vote, and is doing what he can to retain it. Last year, the president told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and La Raza that he’d

Rush and the New Blacklist

The original "Hollywood blacklist" dates back to 1947, when 10 members of the Communist Party, present or former, invoked the Fifth Amendment before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.


The party was then a wholly owned subsidiary of the Comintern of Joseph Stalin, whose victims had surpassed in number those of Adolf Hitler.


In a 346-17 vote, the Hollywood Ten were

The Myth of "Middle-Class" Uncle Joe Biden

This has got to be the bazooka of all Joe Biden blowhardisms. The nation's vice campaigner in chief went on the attack against Republicans this week, clad in full populist armor. "These guys don't have a sense of the average folks out there," said The Everyman. "They don't know what it means to be middle class." But who was his audience?


Nope, not blue-collar workers in Allentown, Pa. Biden was speaking to an exclusive club of $10,000-per-couple campaign

Menachem Rosensaft, VDARE.com’s Peter Brimelow, And Hitler’s Revenge

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow wrote in his 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster, and has repeated a few times since, that “There is a sense in which current immigration policy is Adolf Hitler's posthumous revenge on America.” Brimelow argued that the justified horror over   Hitler’s racial policies became perverted into an all-out revulsion from any healthy sense of nationalism and identity.  Specifically, the American elite, in a misguided effort to “cleanse itself from all taints of racism or xenophobia,” changed our immigration policies via the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act.  


Menachem Rosensaft [Email him] cited the “Adolf Hitler's posthumous revenge” quote, without any context, in his smear of Peter Brimelow, White Nationalism: A Scourge That Won't Go Away [Huffington Post, March 12, 2012].   No one could possibly interpret Brimelow’s words

Electing New Texans—Obama’s War Against White America

[See also: "Voter Suppression"—Obama Regime Code For "Resisting American Dispossession" By Peter Gadiel]

The simplest way to understand the Obama Administration’s attack yesterday (March 13) on  Texas’ new voter ID law: it is blatantly in the business of Electing A New People—and, to that end, voter fraud is almost as helpful as illegal immigration.

Fox News  reported:

On Monday, the Justice Department's head of the civil rights division, Tom Perez, sent a six-page letter to Texas' director of elections saying that Texas has not "sustained its burden" under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to show that the new law will not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters. About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification…

"According to the state's own data, a Hispanic registered voter is at least 46.5 percent, and potentially 120.0 percent, more likely than a non-Hispanic registered voter to lack this identification," Perez wrote.[Justice Department files objection to Texas voter ID law, March 12, 2012. Links added by VDARE.com]

To put this in perspective:

Simple enough, right? Just produce a state issued driver’s license, federally issued passport or government identity card.

Do the Obamaniacs think Hispanics don’t drink? Fly?

In states throughout the U.S., Republican legislatures have been working to pass sensible laws that would require the showing of photo identification before voting.

Sounds reasonable, right?

Not to Obama's Attorney General Eric "My People" Holder, Perez’ boss and the guy running a notoriously

What's the Matter with Soledad O'Brien?

Soledad O'BrienCNN's Soledad O'Brien isn't used to criticism. In the world of media elites, she's a beloved figure and an award-winning news anchor. But last week, she revealed her true, decidedly non-neutral colors. And she's not happy about the hoi polloi questioning her hallowed journalistic objectivity.

On Thursday, O'Brien interviewed Joel Pollak, editor-in-chief of the late Andrew Breitbart's online empire. Breitbart's BigGovernment.com released a 1991 video of Barack Obama (then a 30-year-old law student) at a Harvard rally embracing radical racialist Derrick Bell and his push for more aggressive race-based hiring at Harvard. Bell is a proponent of critical race theory (CRT), which posits that America remains a hopelessly racist country dominated by Jews and white supremacists.

O'Brien lost her cool when Pollak shed light on Bell's fringe legal theories. Acting more like an Obama campaign surrogate than a disinterested host, she angrily jumped on Pollak's mention of CRT. "That is a complete misreading of critical race theory," she shrieked. "That's an actual theory. You could Google it and some would give you a good definition. So that's not correct!"[Video:The Vetting: CNN Implodes Over Breitbart's Obama/Bell Video]

When viewers took to Twitter to pepper O'Brien with follow-up questions about critical race theory, the CNN star had a twit fit. She invited a liberal professor, Emory University's Dorothy Brown, on her television show to back her up and then lashed out: "See? That was our critical race theory 101. Stop tweeting me. We have moved on, people."

Not so fast, sister.

Turns out that O'Brien, a Harvard grad, has a rather emotional connection to Bell. As documented at my new Twitter curation/aggregation site Twitchy.com, O'Brien tweeted that it was a "rough day" for her when Bell passed away last fall. She wrote that she had "just started re-reading" one of his books and mourned again: "RIP Prof. Bell." O'Brien also shared tributes to Bell from fellow Harvard prof and friend of Obama Charles Ogletree. That's the same Professor Ogletree who bragged that he "hid" the Obama/Bell video during the 2008 campaign.

O'Brien failed to disclose her

Slurs, Facts, And HateFacts: Or, Why I Think Limbaugh Is Not Worth Defending

Peter Brimelow writes: VDARE.com is a coalition and Linda Thom is one of our valued Democrats. She thinks VDARE.com has been too easy on Rush Limbaugh—which may well be true: I’ve been pretty desensitized over the years by all the things said about me, and anyway I think Political Correctness is the more important problem. Here Linda sets me straight. Note that we bleep out some expletives here, not to make a moral statement, but because VDARE.com has quite enough trouble with corporate censorware as it is).


I recently had a discussion with a local Democratic politician who had read an article I had written for VDARE.com about immigrant-employment, or the lack thereof, on the island where I live in Washington State. She said that she completely agreed with everything I said—but as a politician, she would never say those things because they would hurt people’s feelings.  


Of course a local politician would say this. What is the benefit in discussing the negative consequences of immigration where not much immigration exists?


Practicing civil behavior in uncivil times takes courage. But it also allows people to listen and think. So giving comfort and solace to Rush Limbaugh (as I think VDARE.com has done) is a bad idea because his language is uncivil and offensive. It causes a great emotional stir. And when emotions stir, thinking stops.


Of course, Limbaugh has the absolute right to use whatever language he wishes except to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. The Supremes have said so. But when Limbaugh called a college woman a slut for wanting contraceptives covered by insurance, the uproar that followed was all about his language—not about birth control, or insurance.



Slut: n. derog. Sloven, slattern, trollop, whore, prostitute, street walker, lady of the evening, woman of ill repute, lose or fallen woman, call girl.


Slut is a sexist slur just as ni**er is a racist slur. What is the male equivalent of slut? Stud; you go dude! Slut and ni**er are Politically Incorrect for a reason. To use either of these words

Establishment Right (That Includes You, Libertarians) Checkmated On Campus

 [See also: Brainwashing in Academe: The Resident Assistant’s Tale, by Athena Kerry]

The late, great paleoconservative columnist Sam Francis called conservatism “the movement that doesn’t move.”  He was wrong.  The Establishment conservative movement moves backwards—shamelessly, unrepentantly, and proclaiming each new defeat a glorious victory. 

And, perhaps uniquely in the history of political movements, this Conservatism Inc. has created a youth movement that is less militant, less dedicated,

Deport Keish Kim! Impeach John Morton! (And Obama!)

Keish Kim Wearing A Scarlet U For Undocumented


Keish Kim (seen above testifying to the Georgia House Higher Education Committee) is an illegal alien from Korea.  She is a classic candidate for strategic deportation


And while they’re at it, our law enforcement Finest might also do something about ICE chief John Morton.  He is responsible for the fact that Kim is not only at large, but openly and publically demanding special benefits as an illegal alien.


Look at this Atlanta Journal-Constitution story:



Illegal immigrants would be barred from attending all Georgia public colleges under a bill a Senate committee passed Wednesday.


Senate Bill 458 also would relax some requirements and tighten others as it relates to the sweeping immigration bill lawmakers passed last year. But it was the proposed rule of banning some students from the 35 colleges in the University System of Georgia and the 25 in the Technical College System of Georgia that occupied nearly all of the 90-minute discussion.


The bill moves on to the full Senate, and it’s hard to say what will happen next. House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, and Gov. Nathan Deal have said they’re reluctant to tinker with current immigration law. The Senate bill is similar to House Bill 59, which a committee debated in January but has yet to vote on.


Sen. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, sponsored SB 458 and described it as a simple measure. He said illegal immigrants are taking college slots away from citizens and stressed they won’t be able to legally work in this country after graduation…


Loudermilk and others said the University System is violating federal law by admitting these students because attending a public college is a benefit reserved for lawful residents.


Committee Passes Bill Banning Illegal Immigrants From Ga. Public Colleges, by Laura Diamond, February 22, 2012


Senator Loudermilk is absolutely correct.  Federal law already prohibits aliens from attending any school in the United States, pre- or post-secondary, except for legal permanent resident aliens, asylees, refugees, and a certain narrow class of non-immigrant aliens lawfully admitted and lawfully present.  (The disgraceful Plyler vs. Doe decision merely said that local governments could not exclude illegal alien students from public school in default of federal action. In other words, there is no reason that federal agents could not deport illegal aliens right out of the classroom).


The MSM didn’t tell you that? It’s important. But for the moment, we will stick with the arrogant scofflaw Keish Kim. 


  • She is an illegal alien. 
  • She is appearing in public demanding special rights and privileges from American taxpayers. 
  • Even worse, she wants to study to be an attorney

If there is anything that America does not need, it is more shysters.  We already have more than the world’s share of attorneys.  We don’t need her. 


Perhaps her homeland, the Republic of Korea, could do with some attorneys. But for some reason (what? this is South, non-Communist, Korea we’re talking about), she does not want to go back.


Kim’s most recent testimony that got her mug plastered all over the internet—the same internet that ICE has access to—is not even the first time that she appeared in public and testified against a bill banning all illegal aliens from Georgia post-secondary educational institutions:



The committee heard testimony from a long list of people, most of whom opposed the bill.


Keish Kim, 20, an illegal immigrant from Korea who lives in Roswell, told the committee she graduated from high school in 2009 and was accepted to several of the state’s most competitive schools, but couldn’t attend them because her family couldn’t afford out-of-state tuition.


“I was very afraid and I was very upset because I just wanted to learn,” she said in emotional testimony, adding that she watched her dreams of becoming a lawyer “fall to the ground.”


[Bill Would Bar Illegal Immigrants From Georgia Colleges, by Kate Brumback, Augusta Chronicle, January 31, 2012]


Because of the difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition? What about out-of-state Americans?


And even before that, Keish Kim testified to the  Board of Regents on November 8, 2011. It was recorded for the world to see and posted on YouTube. (Bring your Kleenex). 


Here she did not just merely ask, but demanded accommodation and benefits for herself and other illegal aliens.  She whines about racism and discrimination—but does not mention that the ROK has plenty of institutes of higher education.


Worse than this tear-jerking, exploitative nonsense from the Treason Lobby: proponents of DREAM Act-type legislation at the state level are using false and misleading information from ICE to justify allowing illegal aliens to attend post-secondary education.


This is not new. In 2008, at the end of the Bush Regime, an ICE spokesman actually claimed that Federal law does not prohibit aliens from attending post-secondary education institutions.



RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's community colleges can decide whether they want to enroll illegal immigrants, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said Friday…


Richard Rocha, a spokesman for ICE, said Friday that illegal immigrants can apply to any school, but they run the risk of deportation if they are caught in the country.


"It is left for the school to decide whether or not to enroll out-of-status or undocumented non-immigrants," Rocha said in a statement. "The Department of Homeland Security does not require any school to determine a student’s (immigration) status."

National Data| February Jobs: The Beat(ing) Goes on

Native-born Hispanics were the big winners in the February jobs data, released on March 9. Immigrant displacement of native-born workers eased, but displacement over the entire Obama years to date remains close to record highs.

The economy added another 227,000 jobs last month, and January’s job gain was revised upward to 284,000, according to the business employment survey. Both figures exceeded the expectations of most economists. But the unemployment rate didn’t budge. It remained stuck at 8.3%.

 “Today’s employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression,” intoned White House economic advisor Alan Krueger, [Email him] adding that “It is critical that we continue the economic policies that are helping us dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the recession….”

He’s been using the same line about healing from “the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression" since October 2011. [Cliché Watch: New Jobs Numbers, Same White House Message, Atlantic, March 9, 2012]

Reality check: Despite months of unexpectedly robust job gains 5.4 million fewer people were working last month than at the start of recession. The “other” employment survey, of households rather than businesses, puts the job shrinkage at 4.2 million.

The Household Survey is rarely headlined in the MSM. To do so would reveal inconvenient economic truths about differing employment rates by race, ethnicity, and nativity.  Only in the Household Survey can we see, for example, that Hispanic employment has increased by a 1.124 million, or 5.5% since the recession started in December 2007, while non-Hispanic employment decreased by 5.4 million, or 4.3% over the same period.

That’s right: as far as jobs are concerned, only non-Hispanics are in recession.

Last month we reported that an astounding 96% of new jobs went to Hispanics. In percentage terms, Hispanic

Romney Has A Problem—And The Solution Is Kris Kobach

OK, Mitt Romney has a Problem. He couldn’t score a knockout on Super Tuesday. And, given the proportional allocation of delegates and the fact that they’re only bound on the first ballot, he might even face an accident at the GOP convention in Tampa.


Fortunately for Romney, there is a Solution: he can pull a Reagan-Schweiker—announce, before the convention, that he intends to pick Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the acknowledged national expert on state and local enforcement of immigration law, as his running mate.


By choosing Kobach, Romney commits to campaign on the issue of patriotic immigration reform—something I’d almost given up on, but hey, Romney did come though on self-deportation and defending Arizona’s legislation against Obama.


Consider this:


  • Kobach has already endorsed Romney. Hopefully, he knows something we don’t.
  • Kobach has already won state-wide office in Kansas. OK, he’s not a governor, as Sarah Palin was. But Kansas has four times the population of Alaska.
  • Kobach has won state-wide office in Kansas (2). In other words, he strengthens Romney in Middle America. Too bad Romney didn’t choose him before Saturday’s Kansas primary.
  • Kobach has real national experience—he has defended state and local enforcement legislation, as counsel to the Immigration Reform Law Institute and in the media, across the country.
  • Kobach, as our writer Anonymous Attorney recently put it, is “almost comically gifted…Harvard, Yale, and Oxford? I mean, really? All three? And he has to look like Harry Hamlin on top of all that?” This means Kobach is not vulnerable to elite educational snobbery, as Palin was. Needless to say, the Left will think of something else—Enoch Powell, the great but much-vilified British immigration patriot, was equally comically gifted i.e. academically credentialed. But they’ll have to try harder.
  • Kobach is an extremely impressive debater. I say this, having watched him carefully, although his style is not mine. Kobach is irritatingly, disgustingly, reasonable. But he’s a real force. I am even told that he seems genuinely to have internalized politically correct Not Wanting To Give Offense. I think this is B-O-R-I-N-G. But that should reassure Romney. And who knows, it may work. Kobach is ready for prime time

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a wild idea. But no-one has ever accused Romney of having
