A secret message from Patt Morrison?

Patt Morrison - the variously behatted L.A. Times lifestyle columnist - offers a column about the anti-American KRCA billboard entitled "A Sign of Controversy Over Immigration".

Now, at first glance, you might be tempted to think this is just a stock "liberal" screed designed to apologize for KRCA's anti-American actions and support the elites who favor massive illegal immigration. In fact, it is indeed chocka with "liberalism", including playing of the race card and implying that those opposed to the billboard are anti-semites. And, she tries to tempt people with "cheap" food. After all, what matters corruption and illegality when you can eat cheap? And, she gives Lenard Liberman the opportunity to express his views without asking him those hard questions I know Patt could come up with.

But, I read it twice and I think - like POW Admiral Denton with his eye-blinks in Morse Code - Patt is trying to send patriotic Americans a secret message.

Her column includes this:

"If," Liberman told me, "I put up a sign that had Big Ben in the middle of the L.A. skyline and put my newscasters in tweed jackets and said 'the best British news on the market,' nobody would think I'm telling people the British are coming."

I did point out that there aren't 5 or 6 million Britons living in Los Angeles...

Allow me to translate that into what I think Patt is trying to say:

I'm familiar with American history. I realize we had a War of Independence some years ago. I'm also aware that we have a "special relationship" with Britain, and I'm quite familiar with that relationship, and I realize that in some times and ways it's been a case of the tail wagging the dog. Be that as it may, if we were to assume that Britain wanted their "lost territories" back, being that they're much less powerful than we are, they could send us millions of people as a way to exert more influence on us.

In fact, Mexico has publicly stated that one of the benefits of sending us so many people is to have influence over our policies. It's not out of the question to imagine a more hostile British government attempting something like that.

Now, if we had millions of British living in the U.S., and someone put up billboards claiming that the U.S. had returned to being a British possession, that would indeed be outrageous.

And, the difference between this hypothetical case and the current case is that we could fix the problem and ensure our sovereignty without having to worry about braindead "liberals" at papers like the L.A. Times playing the race card and generally lying through their teeth to stop it.

P.S. Please send me more hats.

I might be wrong, but I think that's the secret message Patt was trying to tell us.

The left tries to set up all opposition as being completely concerned with race; this is the reason for their minicastroite focus on race issues. The left is not fit to provide moral leadership politically, though, since socialism has turned out to mean mass murder as an ideal. The left for forty years now, has tried to smear all who contradict their pleas for the legitimacy of welfare grabbing as racially motivated; please notice that this means they do not have rational arguments on their side. The real issue is whether the left is morally competent to offer ledership; that is why the mention of socialism's being mass murder in principle, causes the left to suddenly drop their racial issues and beg to be excused.
