Rove and La Raza

Karl Rove spoke to the members of the National Council of La Raza yesterday in Los Angeles and said this:

Everything that this country is, everything that we have achieved, everything that we hold, everything that we promise, is because we are a nation of diversity, brought together by immigration, and sharing a common dream.

What a crock! My BS detector just broke the sound barrier. Not only that but La Raza is an out and out racist organization. It's appalling that the administration would kiss up to this organization.

Joseph Farah wrote a good piece about this little get together. Farah's more than a little tired of the diversity rhetoric as well, as are most thinking people who are aware of our history and the motto of our country. Here's what Farah has to say:

I think if I hear this old saw about America owing everything to diversity one more time, I may gag. I may hurl. I may scream. It's not true. In fact, immigrants – and don't forget this – owe everything to America. We're not great because we're diverse. We're great because we once subscribed to a national creed. But thanks to the likes of La Raza haters, that's no longer true.

Furthermore, diversity is the last thing on the minds of the La Raza crowd. La Raza no more promotes diversity and tolerance than does the Ku Klux Klan.

I guess Rove forgot what La Raza's reaction was when his boss nominated Linda Chavez to the position of secretary of labor.

The lead spokeswoman of the group protested the naming of a Hispanic woman.

"The point of having a diverse Cabinet is to have someone who represents the views of that community," she said. "But Chavez has made a career of saying, 'I'm opposed to what most Latinos think and want.'"

La Raza may use the word "diversity." But the meaning of the word has been turned upside down. It doesn't mean what the dictionary says. It means the opposite. It means conformity. It means if you're Hispanic, you must think a certain way – or else you're not really Hispanic. You must believe what the founders of La Raza believe – that is to say what their puppet-masters in the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation who created the organization want them to believe.
