By Christopher G. Adamo May 9, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Only last year, La Raza imposed a boycott on Kansas City Missouri, where its 2007 convention was to be held. Its justification for doing so was that Frances Semler, a member of the Kansas City Park Board, had been a participant in the Minuteman organization, whose goal is to secure the U.S./Mexico border. La Raza sought to insert itself into the workings of an American civil governing body, in order to marginalize a lawfully appointed citizen with whom they disagreed. The ongoing criticism of Democrat candidate Barack Obama, as a result of his relationship to black separatist "Pastor" Jeremiah Wright, is completely valid. But Wright at least showed the good sense to mask the real intentions of his Balkanizing ministry under the euphemistic banner of "Trinity United Church of Christ." The membership of La Raza apparently feels sufficiently emboldened that it sees no need for such pretense. Its very name translates as "The Race." And among its other intentions, the group seeks to implement a "reconquista" of a major portion of the American West. Were these saner times, its presence and its actions would be universally recognized as seditious. Perhaps the best parallel to La Raza in scope and tactics is the furtive Muslim advocacy group known as the "Council on American Islamic Relations," or CAIR. Both organizations represent the congealing malignancies of anti-American interests who abuse the freedoms, once bought with the blood of patriots and sealed by the foresight of the Founding Fathers, in order to trample the rights of decent Americans who might get in their way. And both have ties to overtly anti-American and often illegal individuals and groups outside the country. Nonetheless, the same John McCain who refuses to associate himself with those who might use Barack Hussein Obama's middle name in vain, plans to attend the La Raza convention in July. Blinded by his arrogance, John McCain does not seem capable of appreciating the precarious position he occupies. Were his name "none of the above," he would likely be polling just as well against either Hillary or Obama. But his forays into the tedious Republican practice of "broadening the base" by cozying up to the opposition have never resulted in anything but harm to conservatism, the Republican Party, and his own political standing. If John McCain believes he can force-feed the bile of his open borders thinking onto traditional America, he will learn the hard way that America has no intention of being led down this dangerous path by him. Conservatives who desperately hoped for something worthwhile to come from McCain are being reminded once gain of just who he is. And if he persists, they will utterly abandon him. --- Christopher G.
