It's been kind of cold here lately, not Minnesota or Wisconsin cold mind you, but cold enough. And on top of the cold, the wind has been howling almost non stop for three days now, it feels like I'm living in a freakin' NASA wind tunnel or something. So due to the cold and the wind I haven't been outside much the past few days. But today I decided that I could stand it no longer and I ventured out to the grocery store and to the thrift store at the bottom of the hill from where we live.
It was nice to be around other people again and while I was out I saw something that would have chilled the anti immigration racist crowd to the bone. I saw their worst fears realized. When I saw it I could hear the sound of Pat Buchanan, Slappy Boy, and Infidel 753's jingoistic little heads exploding. What I saw was a young couple walking around holding hands and they were obviously in love, or something like it anyway, and very happy to be together. The couple was a brown skinned Mexican male and a dark skinned African American female. As soon as I saw them I smiled and I thought, "Man, I hope they have a baby." Then I thought of how howling mad the anti immigration people would be to see
that so I thought, "Man I hope they have four or five babies." As I passed by them I gave the guy a nod, a smile, and he also got the thumbs up from me. As we walked away from one another I thought to myself that I had just seen the faces of modern America.
It's been so nice to see one anti immigrant candidate after another get defeated in the Presidential race and it's been great to see anti immigration candidates get defeated in state and local elections. But now that Bush McCain is almost the Republican nominee I'll bet he flip flops on this issue as well, remember kids he hasn't been a racist immigration hatemonger like Rusty Limbo and mAnn Coulter and Mike Malkin and all the rest of them but you can damn well bet he'll be donning the KKK hood and advocating mass deportations now. Bush McCain so far has shown himself to be a flip flopper just like his old pal Quitter Romney.
In the end though, that young couple will prevail and the USA will be a better place because of people like them. And it will be an even better place when the racist anti immigration hordes go hide back under their rocks.
