It is a Spade, Damn It!

With todays obsession with never, ever offending anyone, our world gets worse. Political correctness has been around for years and all it has done is hide the truth and obfuscate facts.
DNC Chairman Howard ‘YEARRRRRRGH!’ Dean has pontificated that in the most recent debate, Republicans used “outrageous phrases like ‘illegal aliens.’ ” He urged the candidates to “have some morality and some humanity.”
Excuse me? Using the proper legal terminology is now outrageous? What is moral or humane about condoning crime? The democrats’ continued efforts to make illegal immigration flatly ignores several important facts:
The problem isn’t with Hispanics, it is with criminals.
Criminal is not now, nor has it ever been a race.
Not all Illegal Aliens are Hispanic, to suggest that they are, is racist.
The Republican presidential candidates should NEVER have participated in the Univision debate. There are far more people in this country who do not speak Spanish and to pander to those who do is an insult to the rest.
To claim that the term illegal alien is outrageous is so stupid as to be laughable.
Dictionary.com defines illegal as:
1. forbidden by law or statute.
2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc.:
and alien is defined:
1. a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization (distinguished from citizen).
2. a foreigner.
3. a person who has been estranged or excluded.
4. residing under a government or in a country other than that of one’s birth without having or obtaining the status of citizenship there.
So, then an Illegal Alien would be properly defined as:
(My definition)A person residing in a country, not of their birth, in a manner contrary to or forbidden by law or statute
Dictionary.com’s definition:
1. a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country’s authorization.
2. a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.
That’s odd, I didn’t see anything in any of those definitions about Hispanics, or Mexicans, or about speaking Spanish… Why is it then that politicians are compelled to kiss up to the Hispanic population? Oh, I see, they do that because the single largest group of illegal aliens are Hispanics who happen to be from Mexico. That doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter a bit. Where they criminals were born or what language they speak doesn’t have anything to do with the crimes they commit, unless you are a racist…
