BCT Editorial – 12/3/09This page was last
updated on December 5, 2009. Children of light; Editorial; Beaver County Times; December 3, 2009. If you thought this editorial was about the Swiss and minarets in Switzerland, I have a bridge to sell you. This critique is only to address two excerpts, “Right-wing, anti-immigrant populism strikes again, this time in Switzerland” and “the ban was an ‘example of growing anti-Islamic incitement in Europe by the extremist, anti-immigrant, xenophobic, racist, scare-mongering ultra-right politicians who reign over common sense, wisdom and universal values.’” This is just another drive-by smear of the U.S. right. Remember, to the Times, supporting legal immigration and the enforcement of existing U.S. immigration laws is “anti-immigrant populism.” © 2004-2009 Robert W. Cox, all rights reserved. |
