The Last of the
Congressional Patriots
Tuesday, May 23, 2006
By David Yeagley
As the Senate sinks itself and the country in self-indulgent compromise, there is at least one voice that has stood for American patriotism, consistently, from the start of this Mexican Invasion: wouldn't you know it, an Italian American, the Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo. Che la bella cosa!
Congressman Tom Tancredo, Rep-CO
I've met Tom, personally, and told him about myself, and my work for American Indian conservatives and patriots. "Hey, I really need help back in Denver!" he said. "The Indians are killing our Columbus Parade!" I promised to support him, and told him I'd be happy to lead the parade, in honor of a very great man, Mr. Christopher Columbus, who never met the Comanche--who I am sure would have admired him for his incomparable courage in exploration--a trait well appreciated among Comanche.
Tom's patriotism is so strong that even others are running on it. In Georiga, John Konop is campaigning for a congressional seat, and says that even if immigration were brought under control, the multi-national business corporations can undermine it completely, through the international trade agreements like CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement). He is citing a special commentary by Tom Tancredo that exposes the perils of these regional trade agreements: "CAFTA undermines immigration laws." The trade agreements are not about bananas, but about labor. They're not about exchange of goods and tariffs, but about imported "service agreements"--people, workers, or better known as "immigrants." The foreign (Latino) countries could actually sue the United States over our immigration laws, according to the trade agreements.
Tancredo is quick to clear up the muddy images the anti-American liberals create when it comes to their distorting mantra, "America is a nation of immigrants."
"Between 1800 and 1965, the annual number of people admitted as immigrants averaged about 200,000. Since 1990, that number has been over ONE MILLION - and that doesn't count illegal immigrants. Over 30 million people have been added to our population since 1970 as a result of both legal and illegal immigration. The Census Bureau projects that the population will grow to over 570 million by 2040." (From Legal Immigration.)
We all know that this massive demographic change was planned, for decades, by anti-Americans. I say anti-Americans, because the multi-nationalist corporations are loyal only to money, not to any nation. Therefore, multi-national means anti-national. Given the economic status and influence of America in the world, multi-national means anti-American. That's right. Our own home-grown industries have out-grown America. Their focus is the success of their corporation. The market is global. Therefore, all nations are subservient.
The Senate is about to vote on this matter of immigration, in a way which will, in itself, undermine the meaning of America. The fact that is doesn't really matter, and that pacts like CAFTA will weaken whatever immigration reform law is passed, is a fact completely missed--by everyone except people like Tom Tancredo. So we have the prospect of a weak law, undermined by greater law. Congress extends to the world an invitation to rape. "Come, destory America. We're tired of it. We want to be like the Third World." This is the message of our United States Congress.
I've been quick to condemn them all, each and every member. But, with people like Tom Tancredo, such a blanket execration would sacrifice some real quality men. I am reminded of a passage in the work of a 19th century Christian writer:
"The Lord delights in mercy; and for the sake of a few who really serve Him, He restrains calamities and prolongs the tranquillity of multitudes. Little do sinners against God realize that they are indebted for their own lives to the faithful few whom they delight to ridicule and oppress.
Though the rulers of this world know it not, yet often in their councils angels have been spokesmen. Human eyes have looked upon them; human ears have listened to their appeals; human lips have opposed their suggestions and ridiculed their counsels; human hands have met them with insult and abuse. In the council hall and the court of justice these heavenly messengers have shown an intimate acquaintance with human history; they have proved themselves better able to plead the cause of the oppressed than were their ablest and most eloquent defenders. They have defeated purposes and arrested evils that would have greatly retarded the work of God and would have caused great suffering to His people. In the hour of peril and distress "the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them." Psalm 34:7." E. G. White, The Great Controversy (1888), p.632.
Maybe Tancredo is one of those angels. Who knows? And I'm sure there are others. The tide of evil raging. The movement against America and all America has ever stood for seems overwhelming. Dare we pray, and have faith? Dare we believe in the mercy of God in such an hour? Are we quite sure what the will of God is, in fact? I duely suppose that our first responsibility is to be sure of that, and then we might see more clearly who stands for what.
