When this whole kerfuffle started, congress was working on an immigration bill.  I thought and think it is the cart before the horse, but politicians are not known for their intelligence.  When I say congress, both Republicans and Democrats.  And the only difference was in the nuance of the proposals, not in the substance.

Then some DJs got a bright idea, went on the air waves to preach disinformation, and managed to attract some of the Anti-American Groups that could really care less about immigration, illegal or legal, only in fomenting unrest and a chance to advance their agenda.  IN short, Politics makes strange bed fellows, but Lucy - you are being used.

After the demonstrations began and spread, some of the self serving democrats tried and are trying to jump on the band wagon.  I hear Ted Kennedy is all up in arms about the situation.  Mis-characterizing it as usual (to normal people that is called lying).  If his record on the issue were to be made public, he would be (or should be, nothing would) embarrassed in front of his so called friends.  But don't expect the supposed reporters to bring that out.  They have their own agenda and Kennedy is on their side (or I should say they are on his).

So now we have a bunch of Americans yelling for immigration (notice they are not - most anyway - using the word illegal.  And we have a bunch of Americans getting mad and demanding action (and so far they have not been taking to the streets - but they vote).  And we have Answer and the New World Center (or whatever their latest communist name is) egging on a bunch of mind numbed idiots who don't understand what is being done to them and demanding amnesty, when they don't even know who the amnesty is for.

Democrats are thumping the podium saying how racist the republicans are, republicans are thumping the podium demanding we secure our nation.  Everyone is demanding and thumping!

Except..........

Who have we not heard from?  Who has been very quiet in all of this, when usually they are very vocal on any issues regarding ethnicity?  Who has not chimed in, or done so very weakly?

The answer is obvious, although the reason may not be.  The Congressional Black Caucus, along with race baiters Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan have been strangely silent.  Why?

Arrrggg!  There's the rub.  While these people are race baiters, they are not stupid.  And what they see is that their favorite masters, the Democrat leadership, just dumped them trying to woo the Hispanic uprising.

6 years ago, blacks lost the title of the largest minority, and in the intervening 6 years, the gap has just grown greater.  Now Democrat leaders are trying to add another 11 million people to the 'citizens' of the country, and the overwhelming majority are Hispanic.  Can you say gut shot?  For that is what the democrats just did to their loyal black members.  Left them at the altar (although the democrats have demonstrated they would never go further with Blacks) for another bride.

I don't expect the silence to last.  But when you have the wind knocked out of you, it takes a while to gather your breath and get back in the ring.  They will be back.  But their tone will not be the subservient toadies the democrats have come to expect.  No, the democrats may think they have a winning issue here with Illegal Immigration.  But what they just got was a new intra-party civil war.

And it is about time.  They have relegated blacks to the back of the bus for far too long.  Maybe Blacks will now wise up and play the true power brokers by voting for both parties, not just the white plantation owners in the democrat party.
