Also, talk about missing the entire point. Pat is saying that “white people” have a ton to be agreived of, and lists outsourcing as one of them. My point is that, if anything, white people are more to blame and less hurt than non-white people by this action. Again, if for some unknown reason this isn't perfectly clear already: I'm not saying no white people are hurt by outsourcing.

” Democrats are too spineless to stand up to Corporate America, and since the Republicans only care for Cheap Labor”

Did you make a little switcheroo of the parties there?

“you hold your nose and get allies where you can find them”

If these “allies” blame all the problems in this country on non-whites (which is basically the thesis of Pat's piece), they obviously are so beyond being able to see the problem clearly, so myopic in their ability to see cause and effect, that I really don't think they'll be much help. If you want to lie down with that dog, go for it. I prefer not to itch.

still massive numbers of Illegal Hispanics flood over our borders bringing with them every corrupt horror that their national cultures apparently tolerate

The only difference between their countries of origin and ours is that in ours corruption has been made legal by the supreme court a long time ago (Corporations are people, and money is speech). Legalized Bribery is the order of the day…

However, it should be noted that the vast majority of outsourced labor is low-skill — jobs that are disproportionately held by people of color

Tell that to the Indian, Bulgarian, Hungarian and Russian programmers, and I hate to break it to you but white is a color…

Anything that can be outsourced is being and will be outsourced, and since most of the Democrats are too spineless to stand up to Corporate America, and since the Republicans only care for Cheap Labor, you hold your nose and get allies where you can find them…

Where I disagree with him and many others do as well is that once they are here watcha gonna do then??? Of course the problem is the job market that absorbs them and lax border enforcement but those problems are created problems in the interest of industry, not the immigrants.

Either way I look at Pat like I look at many of the old slave owning or segregationist politicians of the past, just because you like him and even quote him is no big deal. If you're a bigot it will be evident quickly enough so theres no point in ignoring good points even if they come from another time. I am on the left but I am a paleocon type on the right the current version of the right just scares the holy hell outta me. Makes me miss paleocons, at least with them you knew they loved their country, sadly a good many of them were bigots and you get what we have here, a good and true message twisted by poison and backward thinking.

Only white people have ever paid taxes, worked in factories, had their jobs outsourced, or are citizens. Didn't you know?

Because all big corporations are run by illegal non-white people, it's brown people's ever-increasing need for cheaper labor to boost their multi-billion dollar profits that is sending our jobs overseas.

Seeing a Mexican flag makes white people's eyes bleed; it's just that offensive! OMG!!!!!

Mexicans ruined the financial system, and Mexicans used 2 trillion dollars of tax payer money to prop it back it up. It's the Mexicans! Didn't you see them??? Wall Street and the American government are OVERRUN with them!!!

Let us all weep for the poor, niggardly white man! So oppressed!

<um..snark>

They have seen their factories shuttered in the thousands and their jobs outsourced in the millions to Mexico and China.

Pat may be a racist, but his critique of our economic policies have been far more accurate and honest than that of any other politicians in the last twenty years. On the other hand he has not had to run for office…
