Entry: The Right Way to Save Our Sovereignty Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_right_way_to_save_our_sovereignty#16877 Post contents: Maxwell's post was good preaching to the choir, but your average Huffington Post reader doesn't care much about exploitative capitalists -- the Left, including left-liberals, have long ago gotten past concerns with economic class. It doesn't matter to the pro-immigration Left that the immigrant is economically exploited in the US. What matters is that he's The Other, the oppressed person <i>of color</i> whom restrictionists allegedly want to <i>exclude</i> simply because he's The Other. And all that past- versus present-tense stuff sounds great to those of us in the choir who read Edmund Burke, T. S. Eliot, and the Southern Agrarians. It might even have resonated with liberals three or four decades ago. But if Maxwell wants to talk about ideas like trusteeship to the "flies of a summer" who read Huffington Post, well -- granted that his language was eloquent and concrete, but he might as well have written it in Latin for all that those folks will understand the words.
