From over at the Blogging Tories' echo chamber, Dissonance and Disrespect warns us in increasingly shrill terms about the creeping brown menace:
While conservatives often bewail the Islamicization of Europe, not all of them have been paying enough attention to the growing problem of Mexican irrendentism within the southwestern United States and in southern California in particular.
But I'm thinking the very next paragraph can do double duty, with just a little creativity:
It is now entirely possible for persons ofHispanic descentconservative ideology to be born, live, and die within an entirelyHispanic cultural milieu thereadvanced western civilization, without having to learn aword of Englishshred of science or make any other accomodation toEnglish-speaking American societyactual knowledge.
No problem ... always happy to help.
BONUS TRACK: I find it interesting that many of the same people who are horrified by the creeping Mexification of California seem quite unconcerned about the increasing Cubanification of Florida.
But, of course, that's different.

In case it doesn't get posted there, here's the comment I left at Dissonance & Disrespect:
In Chicago, it is just as possible for persons of Polish descent to be born, live and die within an entirely Polish cultural milieu there, without having to learn a word of English or make any other accomodatino with English-speaking society.
Until World War II, it was possible for Italian-Americans and Japanese-Americans to do the same, and until World War I it was just as possible for German-Americans.
Now should we talk about Quebec? I've heard there's been talk about seccession there.
Don't drag us into weirdo ethno-cultural tensions that occur down south. Quebec and francophone Canadians have constitutional legitimacy that has existed since Confederation and continues to evolve. Even secession has been dealt with by the highest court and addressed in Canadian law. The state of cultural minorities in the US, particularly that of Latinos in the the South-West, is a different thing altoghether.
Easy there, Ti-Guy. He was just drawing some amusing analogies. Lighten up.
I'm just trying to maintain focus on the issue here. There are entirely different constitutional orders under which Canadians and Americans live, which is the confusion wingnuts like Diss & Hiss get bogged down in.
Ti-Guy,
You're silly too.
