They get it in Lubbock

Perry Dorrel, aka PDiddie, from Lubbock writes:

Were it not for uncontrolled European immigration, the North American continent (from Mexico to Canada, just to be clear) would be populated with the people indigenous to it — brown people. Were it not for the slave trade by those same European immigrants, there would likely be millions fewer Africans calling themselves Americans.

And that’s exactly the way many of the conservative Europeans would like it to be.

It will never happen. There is nothing anyone can do to stem the surge of people of all races who will come to America for a chance at a better life, legally or not.

Their choices are to keep raging against the tide, or learn a little tolerance.

Don’t count on any intellectual breakthroughs from either the Republican base nor those who wish to lead them.

As if it were necessary, Brains and Eggs, shows that the real “progressives” in this country are not found on the A-list blogs. They’re found in places like Lubbock or Alpine.

We don’t attract the big contributors, but we’re not interested in what Howie said about Lou regarding Marcos, either. Nor are the machinations of the two U.S. political parties the beginning and end of the world. We’re interested in “pet issues” like how people live, and how the the United States’ largest neighbor — and foreign oil, mineral and labor supplier — is doing. You know. The real world.

We can only expect the small contributors who are as generous as they can be. Thanks to all who’ve contributed so far, but the Mex Files is still $300 behind this month.
