On my way to catch the aeroplane off to join a hen party I had to ditch an articulated lorry.
This quote from Tancredo:
"I don't want to look at this place as I do now. It's like a strange environment…it's not the state I grew up in." – See more at: http://coloradopols.com/diary/57787/so-much-for-viva-tancredo#comments
That's crazy. Tancredo grew up in North Denver and I have heard him speak of going to St. Catherins school and everyone he knew was Italian and I think his grandparents spoke Italian…..IMHO, the Italians did not like the "Mexicans"…(you know those people from the San Luis Valley whose people had been in that area for four centuries and who not been "Mexicans" since the Treaty of Gualupe in the early 1800s) and the Irish didn't like anyone….including each other.
It was a grand old place…..loaded with new catholic immigrants being pushed around by old catholic immigrants and the Scott-Irish Protestants had moved out long ago…..
Whazzat?…English?
That's not even the best line to emphasize:
It's not even that he wants immigrants to learn english or stay home, it's that he pines for the Colorado he grew up in – a Colorado that was much more white than it is today.
Probably what a lot of folks were saying when Tanc's folks started showing up. My great grandma never did learn to speak much English having arrived here in her 40s but her teen to twenty something kids did and their kids, my parents' generation ranged from being completely and effortlessly bilingual (the oldest) to only knowing bits and pieces of the ancestral tongue. And guess what? The people Tanc is so hostile toward are following the same pattern. It's the American way. And if some of their kids do manage to remain bilingual, more power to them. I wish I was fluent in more than one language. In parts of Colorado it was the English speakers who were the newcomers altogether.
Cultiral change is the American way. It's the American way that no place is the same as it was when folks now in their 50s and 60s were growing up just as things weren't the same for people who were in their 50s and 60s back when Tanc was a kid. It's the people who want to preserve some largely imaginary America in amber forever who are the un-American ones.
New waves of immigrants bringing new cultural contributions to the mix are as American as the Fourth of July and always have been. Exclusive links between ethnicity and nationality are old world, not American. Wonder if Tanc realizes that if being a real American is really about being white, people from his background just barely and only relatively recently qualify for full membership. Some of his white supremacist pals probably, in their heat of hearts, don't really believe he qualifies even now. He's not exactly poster boy material for their ideal.
heart of hearts, not heat.
Tommy is looking better every day.
Hey Tank….there's always Texas ya can move to…that should remind you of home…
You don't recognize the state you grew up in? You didn't grow up during Ludlow either, Tom. Maybe that's a good thing.
I now refer to such poisonous anti-immigrant posturing as the GOTP's "Tancreatic Cancer."
+1 Tancreatitis.
Complicated by self loathing considering his looks.
Which seems, really, so unnecessary . . .
. . . what with all the folks here in Colorado that loathe him already
Priceless DP and BS! Gotta remember those.
