Reconquista in Texas vs. California—And The Need To Coerce GOP Pols

A timely post from www.Vdare.com contrasting Texas and California. This follows this post about Utah's Illegal Alien problem and this post about the MURDER of ROBERT KRENTZ, who the protestors and boycotters won't give a solution for, but will call Americans racist for trying to prevent another MURDER, and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso.

Reconquista in Texas vs. California—And The Need To Coerce GOP Pols
By Ralph Griffin
The conventional wisdom is that we Texans are Californians in slow motion, destined to seeing our state overwhelmed by coming majorities of minority voters. The reality is a bit more complicated.
To be fair to the conventional case, in 2005 Texas was one of the first states to follow California and Hawaii into white minority status. Those who would proclaim the death of Anglo Texas gleefully report that Hispanics now make up an absolute majority of Texas public school first graders, while the white share is down to less than one third.
Sobering news indeed—but 6.9% of Texas elementary school students are at overwhelmingly white private schools and about 2.3% are overwhelmingly white homeschoolers. (2005 data from the National Center For Education Statistics show 304,170 total private school students in Texas, and a reasonable estimate of the number of Texas homeschoolers is about 103,226; the number of homeschoolers is likely higher but the enrollment of private schools, pulling from the static upper-middle-class white demographic, is probably bit lower or flat.)
Nevertheless, Hispanics will soon make up a majority of Texas children, and probably constitute a majority of births in the state (2006 statistics put their share at 49.6%). So no serious person can argue that the Reconquista of Texas is not well underway.
Even so, attempts to draw electoral conclusions about Texas from California are statistically problematic.
The first obvious problem with the comparison is bad news for Texas. Texas’ voter demographics reveal that the state has about the same proportion of Hispanic voters (20.1%) as California (21.4%). [Source: William C. Velasquez Institute. Texas Statistics/ California Statistics]. So those who see California as Texas’ future are wrong— demographically, Texas is California now.
So why is California deep blue while Texas remains deep red?
Simply, California has an acute white people problem. In a state where minorities flex their muscles early and often to exploit the white taxpaying population, one would think whites would get with the program and start block voting like white Mississippians. But instead California whites exhibit mass insanity—a majority of white males and 52% of whites overall voted for Obama.
In contrast, in Mississippi, 90% of white males voted for McCain, exhibiting near-African-American levels of racial solidarity and block voting.
(Yes, I know McCain was an uninspiring candidate and no real friend to traditional Americans. Most voters, however, did not know this and those who voted on a racial basis would have seen McCain as representing racist” by the Main Stream Media for seeking to control immigration.
Patriotic immigration reform will only happen if there is direct, angry and demanding pressure from enough Republican constituents—as on gun control and abortion. Otherwise, Karl Rove is short-term rational—as long as the grassroots can be distracted with other issues, like “supporting the troops” in the federal elections of 2002 and 2004.
Our goal must be to stoke the grassroots fire on immigration, galvanizing the aging white population into angrily mau-mauing their representatives on immigration, until, kicking and screaming, Republican lawmakers actually do something about it.
Pat Buchanan has a gift with words. Recently, he floated an analogy that has helped me to define my own life purpose in politics:
"And Tea Partiers now play the role of Red Army commissars who sat at machine guns behind their own troops to shoot down any soldier who retreated or ran. Republicans who sign on to tax hikes cannot go home again."
The same must be true of immigration restriction—and all the other political issues conservatives care about.
We are called to man the machine guns behind our own lines because our cohesiveness as a group, like the Soviets, must be coerced.
Our enemies enjoy the luxury of an ideologically unified and cohesive political army. Ours, however, is a lot bigger, but a lot clumsier.
Hopefully, the weight of numbers will play out in American and Texas politics the same way it did on the Eastern Front.
