Papers please, Juden

So, let me see if I have this straight. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of the Democrats are all Nazis who are going to enslave us all and put our population into re-education camps. But Jason "JT" Ready is not a Nazi, is a true patriot, and will keep us all safe.

Apparently, Mr. Ready spends his days, along with some other members of the National Socialist Movement, patrolling our border for any illegals. "We're not going to sit around and wait for the government anymore," Ready said. "This is what our founding fathers did."

Hmm....haven't I heard that somewhere before? Verbatim?

Ready, a 37-year-old ex-Marine, is different. He and his friends are outfitted with military fatigues, body armor and gas masks, and carry assault rifles. Ready takes offense at the term "neo-Nazi," but admits he identifies with the National Socialist Movement.

I don't know about the rest of you but just the mere action of cutting and pasting this paragraph gave me an erection.

And he hates the term "neo-Nazi" but does identify himself with the National Socialist Movement? Makes perfect sense to me:)

Ready said he's planning patrols throughout the summer."If they don't want my people out there, then there's an easy way to send us home: Secure the border," he said. "We'll put our guns back on the shelf, and that'll be the end of that."

Isn't that the same thing that Sarah Palin said in the video I put up here a few days ago?

I wonder if Ready is enough of a meta-thinker that he might--just might--grasp Manzi's thoughts on immigration.

We should reconceptualize immigration as recruiting. Assimilating immigrants is a demonstrated core capability of America's political economy — and it is one we should take advantage of. A robust-yet-reasonable amount of immigration is healthy for America. It is a continuing source of vitality — and, in combination with birth rates around the replacement level, creates a sustainable rate of overall ­population growth and age-demographic balance.

We should think of immigration as an opportunity to improve our stock of human capital.

Anyone think Ready and others like him will understand this?

I won't hold my breath.

"We should think of immigration as an opportunity to improve our stock of human capital."

I would bet Ready thinks the same thing. But he doesn't consider the people who are coming to be an improvement. From that same article:

"But local law enforcement are nervous given that Ready's group is heavily armed and identifies with the National Socialist Movement, an organization that believes only non-Jewish, white heterosexuals should be American citizens and that everyone who isn't white should leave the country 'peacefully or by force.'"

Not everyone who's against illegal immigration is racist. But a lot of racists are using the anti-immigration movement as cover for their racism and a recruitment opportunity. If you're fond of slippery slopes and domino theories, as so many conservatives seemed to be in the past, you should beware of siding with outright racists on immigration.

They may accept just any white guy just now, while they need you to generate momentum. But after they've achieved their goal of white purity they'll turn next to Poles, Irish, Italians, Catholics, Democrats and anyone who's different.

This is the inherent problem with tribalism. It devolves into smaller and smaller in-groups, until no one is pure enough for them. In the long run the only ones these care about is themselves.

So now you're conflating National Socialists with the right wing?

Getting desperate in here, ain't it?

Mark Ward said...

Flat Earth, I give you David Neiwert on Goldberg's bizarro history

"What these historians record -- but Goldberg variously ignores or minimizes -- is that the "socialism" of "National Socialism" was in fact purely a kind of ethnic economic nationalism, which offered "socialist" support to purely "Aryan" German business entities, and that the larger Nazi cultural appeal was built directly around an open antipathy to all things liberal or leftist. Indeed, whole chapters of Mein Kampf are devoted to vicious smears and declarations of war against "the Left," and not merely the Marxism that Goldberg acknowledges was a major focus of Hitler's animus. "

There's nothing liberal or leftist about Nazis. They are fascist based which is decidedly right wing. The folks down in AZ are nationalist and oppose any sort of equal distribution or equality for anyone other than pure blood American--whatever that means.

Mark,

Have you forgotten those quotes from Hitler so soon?

For example:

"There is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists. I have always made allowance for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communists always will."

Or this one:

"Of what importance is all that, if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the Party, is supreme over them regardless of whether they are owners or workers. All that is unessential; our socialism goes far deeper. It establishes a relationship of the individual to the State, the national community. Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings."

Who am I kidding? Of course you have. It's Standard Response #1

Just to be clear, the people you're making a blanket accusation against of being nationalistic racist etc...

http://tpdinternet.tucsonaz.gov/Organization/

Spic haters like Tucson Chief of Police Villasenor, and Assistant Chief Rozema.

PPD officers with names like Pina, Celaya, Lopez and Renteria.

http://phoenix.gov/POLICE/orgchart1.pdf

People like Watch Commander Claudia Leyva, Sgt. Anthony Legros and Sgt. Luis Marquez.

You act like the voting population of AZ is all a bunch of white racists keeping the Mexican down, and it's horseshit. And it's precisely because you (and Obama, and Pelosi, and etc.) don't think the people linked to above can be trusted to do their jobs (or don't think they should be allowed to), and ONLY for that reason, that people like Ready are down there.

In short, once again the only thing you got was what you demanded. Embrace the suck, bitches. You didn't want the cops to do their jobs. Now instead you have wackos trying to do it.

You know that comment I posted where I quoted about how the left uses the Hutaree as a scare tactic, and the right uses the New Black Panthers?

Guess which one you are.

Ed "What the" Heckman said...

Gee, look at that. Mark gets a perfect chance to admit significant error where it's obvious and we can see it. But he chooses to pass…

juris imprudent said...

Heck Ed, you can't expect him to admit error when he's so busy whipping up a frenzy of fear all about an irrelevant fringe group of the Other Side.
