First, exhibit A, here. Next, exhibit B, here.
I expect exhibit C will arrive shortly after, with one of our progressive regulars in the comments eager to remind us that those who wander off an ethnic plantation are hardly authentic to begin with — and so as outliers don’t count when it comes to the important business of developing official “diversity” narratives.
At which point Exhibit D, the dead body of American rugged individualism, will attempt to roll over in its grave — only to be thwarted by some sort of new progressive seat belt law that no one knew had been added as a rider to Obamacare.

Colonel West is the real deal.
And I can’t wait for the identity politics crew and the other race fetishists have to come to grips with why the won isn’t pushing immigration reform, like Booooooooosh! did, nor satisfying the CBA?
And what happens when the CBA has to take a subsidiary place at the table given the Democrats need to exploit the propagandistic conflation of anti-illegal-immigration with anti-immigration?
Intersting times ahead. Ones where folks will wish they had stuck with the individualism-without the seat belt!
That’s a stupidly meaningless number.
“…one of our progressive regulars in the comments eager to remind us that those who wander off an ethnic plantation are hardly authentic to begin with…”
Yep…
Here’s the back-door payoff; and I’d have never seen it coming

In the name of balancing the budget, don’t you know. I’m wondering if halting redistribution from thise who pay taxes to those who don’t is also on the table?
that’s good though that they’re so bent on befarcing their gay little commission I think
happy, why aren’t you out raising money for the dems? Dignity and all that.
Bob Reed – That is breath-taking. Truly remarkable.
Unbelievable. Fucking twatwaffles. I imagine with all those extra legal folks in the US, the VAT will bring-in even more money.
Because Jeff I am staunch. I just don’t think immigrations is where I want to plant my staunch flag of staunchness in 2010 or 2012.
I imagine Erskine and Alan making some folksy quip about “lemons and lemonade.”
Yeah I know JD,
I didn’t put it up to jack the thread or anything, but only to support the earlier point I made about the Dems increasing reliance on Hispanic voters, and how that explains both their rhetoric as well as attempts to pay forward the 2012 election with amnesty.
As always, by any means necessary.
Oh, and Rubio? He doesn’t count…Just like Jonah G and Jeff G said…He’s not down with the struggle…Nothing to see here…Rethugs! are still hilljacked, knuckle-dragging RAAAAAACISTS! who are anti-immigrant in every way.
So, you know, the use of the pejorative “cocoanut” is now a special dispensation granted the identity-politics fetishists by the popes of PC.
And yet you jab and jab and jab your flagpole into the unyielding earth.
Immigration is to Barcky’s spending orgy as 40 yard dash times are to bogey free golf.
Why wouldn’t you want Andy Stern on your deficit reduction commission?
Seems to me you already have. You have been pretty fucking staunch about it here.
The unbalanced commission is proof of how not-serious it is. The inclusion of Andy Stern, the idea that amnesty can help fix things, and the VAT are just further objective data points at how ridiculous the whole idea is.
I dunno JD, I know some guys that if they can get to their ball before anybody else sees it, it really seems to help their score.
Aren’t the House and Senate just really big deficit increasing commissions?
So, BMoe, if they pass amnesty without anybody seeing it, they can reduce the deficit? ;-)
He’s Cuban – they never “count.”
Why wouldn’t you want Andy Stern on your deficit reduction commission?
That sounds like the first half of a joke.
sigh.
I am just betting that is the way Obama keeps score.
No, BMoe. I guarantee he keeps score with an eraser.
grieferfeet is trying to re-define the word “staunch” it seems. How progressive of him.
You shoulda seen the consternation out here when the “Compensation Commission” the legislature uses to raise their pay without any messy legislative involvement actually came back with a recommendation that they take a pay cut.
So much for THAT commission. This one sounds even less independent.
unyielding earth.
Is that what she’s calling herself now?
Coming to an economy near you?
h/t Insty.
Great post…as usual. Maybe I’m a pollyanna, but I believe there’s a larger undercurrent growing among the classes. Including the “minorities”, “labor” and the “entitled”. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think the “John Galt” signage seen in TP rallies is to be dismissed. Obey just dropped out…and that’s a biggy. I’m from WI and have met and chatted with David. His confidence and seemed arrogance after the Obama election was very palpable. To be able to possibly swing the victim class as well as the entitled class into a Rep category (as deftly illustrated by your post) is historic. Yoo betcha. MSM brains are sploadin.
