A man named Shaun Kenney was recently named Executive Director of the Virginia Republican party. Here is a post of his from the blog, Bearing Drift.
In it he argues that “Conservatives have a moral duty to drive out
nativism once and for all.” It becomes clear by the end of the post that
when he says “nativist” he’s including more or less everyone in the
party who opposes “comprehensive immigration reform.”
“There are 12 million people in the
United States today who want a better lives for themselves and their
families, whose only crime was that they came to America to do it.
‘”The nativists have a very simple
solution: apprehend all 12 million of them, boxcar them back to their
point of origin, and drive them out as so many locusts. …
‘”he American conservative movement
has driven out ideologies from our camp once before. We drove out the
progressives and the America First movement in the 1940s. We did it
again with the John Birch Society in the 1960s. We did it once again
with the anarchists in the 1980s. Every time we have purged the ranks of
poison, we have emerged stronger …
“It’s time to clean house.
‘”You will hear a lot of talk in the
coming months about immigration reform. In it will be included guest
worker programs, documented worker status, real border enforcement that
doesn’t require walls, and a sound program that takes an antiquated
immigration system and brings it into the 21st century. That’s not
amnesty, that’s reform.
“Conservatives embrace the idea of more Americans coming into this country to work hard and prosper.
“Nativists reject Pedro. …
“Drive em out, ladies and gentlemen. …”
If the state GOP wants to empower this sophomoric sneerer slanderer to insult their core voters with language reminiscent of Daily Kos on a bad day, that is the state GOP’s problem. But maybe the press should drop the PR that says Kenney got the job because he’s “worked well with both sides.” Or, in his own words describing his suitability for the post:
“It takes a little bit of finesse … and generally being tolerated by all side to be an effective executive director
. The executive director is kind of like the first diplomat.”
If Kenney is the Virginia GOP establishment’s** idea of a diplomat, it should be an interesting few years. Or weeks. …
P.S.: Attempts to reach Kenney by phone and email were unsuccessful.
This reader hit every point so brilliantly that I just have to share....
and can you guess who showed up calling people names .. can someone find that man a real job ?

" What is being missed here is the fact that it wasn’t that Shaun Kenney met with some people in his office that has added so much fuel to the already raging flames between the differing factions in the Republican party, it goes back to Mr. Kenney’s article from a while ago where he called those that didn’t see eye to eye with him on his ideas of immigration reform “nativists” and outreageously said that they needed to get out of the Republican party. That is absolutely what has caused more than a little stir.
