If you want a taste of what this jelly-spined loser would be like as governor, you need to look no further than this.
Santa Clarita councilman Bob Kellar attended a Minuteman rally on January 16, not just to support the Minutmen, but to make his views on illegal immigration more widely know than it already was. Kellar railed against illegal immigration, but it was his story of another time, perhaps another rally, that has sparked an uproar.
At that time, he recited the words of Teddy Roosevelt, and was consequently branded a racist for doing so. Remember, this is California, and anything that smacks of patriotism or love of borders is deemed racist. Teddy Roosevelt didn’t feel that way.
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag…we have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Kellar was later approached and labeled racist for citing those remarks. All he said…and this is the controversy, is That’s good. If that’s what you think I am because I happen to believe in America, I’m a proud racist, you’re darn right I am. He was taking their definition of a racist and throwing it back in their face. But, the media being what it is, ran with this National Enquirer style, and now poor Bob is seen as a racist all over the country. That is until you see the context of the statement.
Apparently, Meg Whitman either did not see the statement in its full context, or she’s pandering to the reconquistas in California. Pressure from Democrats in the state caused her to disavow Kellar, forcing him to withdraw support for her gubanatorial run. Andybody that heard what the guy said realizes that what he said had nothing to do with race. It had to do with the clowns who approached him and made the accusation.
This is California. Anything that even smells like border security will be branded as racist. Bob Kellar will tell you. The racists that crawl all over this state will hang this lie on Bob Kellar as long as they can. Ironic, that the ones that are the most racist, the most ethno-centric, the most anti-American are the ones who are making this mans life miserable with a lie. It’s the old, but very effective tactic of accusing somebody else of what you are, and send them scrambling to defend themselves, effectively the taking spotlight off the accuser.
This is what it has come to in America: if you believe that America is great and that we should protect her culture, you are a racist. If you think that people who come to this country should assimilate, you are a racists. Somehow it has become wrong to be nativist in nature. Believing that your country is the best country on earth is wrong? These people don’t get it and they never will.
I think they do get it, and are just trying to silence anyone that isn’t for open borders. How ironic that Whitman is angling for support from the very kinds of people that she claims to be against.
