I rarely delete comments; you'd have to do a whole lot more than defending your argument with sources to get deleted from Enclave.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171669015166166882007-02-16T17:36:00.000-06:002007-02-16T17:36:00.000-06:00I believe John Tanton wrote a long response to tha...I believe John Tanton wrote a long response to that SPLC hit job. I remember seeing the response somewhere, but not on the SPLC's site, a few years back. I'll try to find it. Maybe you can find it. I'm sure you want to present all sides involved.<BR/><BR/>The Wall Street Journal periodically calls for open borders -- "Let there be open borders" -- in its editorials and performs hit pieces of its own that are full of inaccuracies.Donna Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051276211353387204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171602673776897142007-02-15T23:11:00.000-06:002007-02-15T23:11:00.000-06:00And after you check out the FAIR viewpoint on SPLC...And after you check out the FAIR viewpoint on SPLC, check out <A HREF="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1467" REL="nofollow">this little expose</A> on FAIR, which includes the comments:<BR/><BR/><I>Although FAIR professes to support a just and fair immigration policy, its policy rhetoric is often inflammatory, clearly anti-immigrant, and partisan .... FAIR rejects criticism that it is racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant. Such criticisms are leveled not only by liberal and pro-immigrant groups, but also by many conservatives and such business-oriented publications as the Wall Street Journal.</I><BR/><BR/>FAIR, like these other nativist organizations, originated with Mr. Tanton, who did not get good SPLC reviews.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171600916952659442007-02-15T22:41:00.000-06:002007-02-15T22:41:00.000-06:00And do check this out as well.And <A HREF="http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=media_mediad6ac" REL="nofollow">do check this out</A> as well.Donna Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051276211353387204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171577960322095422007-02-15T16:19:00.000-06:002007-02-15T16:19:00.000-06:00I posted some comments on the Volunteer Voters sit...I posted <A HREF="http://www.news2wkrn.com/vv/2007/02/following_the_money_english_fi.html" REL="nofollow">some comments</A> on the Volunteer Voters site.Donna Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051276211353387204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171558801647095272007-02-15T11:00:00.000-06:002007-02-15T11:00:00.000-06:00Trying to link John Adams to the contemporary Engl...Trying to link John Adams to the contemporary English Only movement is a bit like saying that, because Robert E. Lee called slavery a "moral & political evil" on one occasion, the Confederate General was the first cause of the 20th Century Civil Rights Movement.<BR/><BR/>The most appropriate response to Jud is, "So, what?" The organizational, political, and financial connections between John H. Tanton and "English Only" as a movement are clear. The fact that English Only supporters point to something John Adams did one time as their inspiration does not produce any actual movement connections to a man who has been dead and gone for over 200 years.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1171555745240264062007-02-15T10:09:00.000-06:002007-02-15T10:09:00.000-06:00John Adams tried to pass legislation making Englis...John Adams tried to pass legislation making English the national language with the creation of a National Academy to define the language.
