Peter Brimelow writes (4/19/2012): Many thanks to those loyal VDARE.com readers who are rallying around to support our fundraising appeal. Tonight, I had dinner with one of the Inside-The-Beltway immigration patriots whom I respect. This is what I learned:
Of all the points my friend made, this amazes me the most. Can’t Beltway Republicans count? Don’t they realize Hispanics are ONLY EIGHT PERCENT OF THE ELECTORATE—and that anyway. 47 % OF ARIZONA HISPANICS SUPPORTED ARIZONA’S ANTI-ILLEGAL PROP 200?? I had begun to assume this 40% nonsense was just a lie—that GOP leaders merely wanted an excuse to deliver to the Cheap Labor Lobby and to promote themselves into the Conservatism Inc K Street Lobbying complex that Tim Carney has brilliantly described (K Street and Tea Party again fight for soul of GOP, Washington Examiner, April 18 , 2012) But now my friend assures me what we see is sincere, 100%, copper-bottomed, stupidity. Beltway Republicans really don’t understand elementary arithmetic. My conclusion: there’s something REALLY ODD about the Washington DC Inside-The-Beltway world. Maybe DC is hothouse. Or maybe it’s a madhouse. But the bottom line: THE ONLY WAY to get to patriotic immigration reform will be through Outside-The-Beltway grass roots pressure.
I appeal to you to help us now Help VDARE.com Help Patriots! Help Feed The Derbyshires!By Patrick Cleburne Alas, we have to close VDARE.com again. After a heartening start, (warmest thanks to those who responded), contributions have come to a complete halt after we opened the site to comment on the Derbyshire/ Weissberg atrocities. And without a reasonably successful Easter fundraiser, VDARE.com will run out of cash towards the end of the summer. This is immensely frustrating. We want desperately to keep on posting. This week has brought horrifying evidence, including an article by the head of the Republican National Committee and remarks by nominee-apparent Mitt Romney himself, that the GOP leadership is planning a campaign of Hispandering. Hispandering, of course, will simply dishearten and discourage patriotic voters—just as John McCain’s disastrous, consultant-heavy campaign did in 2008. This innumerate, nation-breaking folly must be exposed. But the Establishment Right, Republican poodles, won’t do it. That is why you must help VDARE.com—NOW! No doubt there are politicians and pundits stupid and innumerate enough not to realize that, because the Hispanic vote is just above a tenth of the white a.k.a. American vote, even massive movements among Hispanic voters would be swamped by quite small movements among whites voters. VDARE.com writer Steve Sailer has explored this phenomenon in many articles—we call his advice to the GOP (or what we call the GAP, the Generic American Party that the GOP is pretending to be) “The Sailer Strategy.” You won’t get this analysis anywhere else. That’s why you must help VDARE.com now! But at VDARE.com, we do not believe the Republican Leadership is quite this stupid. (Surely?) We think they are influenced by two different factors
The Republican “leadership” D.C. is scared of the Treason Lobby and of the MSM. All they want to do is enjoy the perquisites of office. Limousines! Lobbying careers! Loot! NEVERTHELESS, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE PATRIOTIC IMMIGRATION REFORM CAUSE IS LOST. FAR FROM IT. It just means that appropriate tactics have to be employed. We saw that, in the GOP Presidential race, every one of the most durable GOP contenders
They were frightened of grass roots Americans! And the contenders saw the awful fate of Texas Governor Rick Perry—destroyed because he insulted immigration patriots in the debates. One thing only has worked to influence immigration policy favorably in recent years: Firestorms of rage from Flyover Country. At VDARE.com, we fuel those firestorms. Read the comment threads on any relevant MSM article—for instance, those dealing with the H1-B scandal. Americans are incensed—and informed. (Of course our political masters are far too grand to read comment threads) At VDARE.com, we believe that Inside the Beltway wonkery is only the tactical endgame. What is strategically decisive: placing key facts and decisive arguments into the hands of the citizenry. It’s the modern equivalent of the Kentucky rifle. Americans will do the rest This is the VDARE.com mission. Why are we, of the immigration reform outfits, the most denounced by Treason Lobby enforcers like the $PLC? Because they know we are the most effective. Please help us—NOW. A Special Announcement From VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow: We were hoping John Derbyshire would be able to start his column this week, but he’s too sick. He writes: “The chemo's doing what it's supposed to. Just limp & depleted, head full of porridge.” We want to pay John a regular “draw” i.e. his income won’t be dependent on specific columns.
