Posted by SelkirkTMO on Sat Dec 11 02:02:28 2010, in response to 'Christian Conservative' Should Replace Jewish Speaker, Some Texas Pols Say, posted by Dand124 on Fri Dec 10 01:07:45 2010. Well well well ... some PROFF of what I've been saying all along about republicans and their "code words" ... for those who won't get it, remember that even the Shrub administration contained carry-overs from Nixon and Reagan and that whole "southern strategy" thing ... interesting article here:http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/11/us/politics/11nixon.html?hp Tease: In a conversation Feb. 13, 1973, with Charles W. Colson, a senior adviser who had just told Nixon that he had always had "a little prejudice," Nixon said he was not prejudiced but continued: "I've just recognized that, you know, all people have certain traits." "The Jews have certain traits," he said. "The Irish have certain -- for example, the Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish." Nixon continued: "The Italians, of course, those people course don't have their heads screwed on tight. They are wonderful people, but," and his voice trailed off. A moment later, Nixon returned to Jews: "The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality." At another point, in a long and wandering conversation with Rose Mary Woods, his personal secretary, that veered from whom to invite to a state dinner to whether Ms. Woods should get her hair done, Nixon offered sharp skepticism at the views of William P. Rogers, his secretary of state, about the future of black Africans. "Bill Rogers has got -- to his credit it's a decent feeling -- but somewhat sort of a blind spot on the black thing because he's been in New York," Nixon said. "He says well, 'They are coming along, and that after all they are going to strengthen our country in the end because they are strong physically and some of them are smart.' So forth and so on. "My own view is I think he's right if you're talking in terms of 500 years," he said. "I think it's wrong if you're talking in terms of 50 years. What has to happen is they have be, frankly, inbred. And, you just, that's the only thing that's going to do it, Rose." --- So to anyone claiming that this topic isn't the "mainstream republican" thing, rest assured that it goes back better than 40 years now if we're not willing to admit that it goes back farther than that. Those who fail to learn from history (or even bother to look at it) are doomed to vote republican and claim it's the democrats who are the real republicans. :( |
