Today’s Republicans are not like yesterdays. Today’s Republicans think – among other things – that an American is someone born in the US of A (Ted Cruz is apparently the only exception), and that immigrants to this nation simply cannot understand what it truly means to be American. You can see that way of thinking in the way these Republicans act and you can hear it in the things they say.
Here is a perfect example. South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is a proud Republican (I don’t know why) and a pusher of everything Republican. But her name and the fact that she is of Indian decent have confused the Republican mouthpiece, Ann Coulter. Coulter appeared on Fox Business network and proclaimed that Haley, whose parents immigrated from India, cannot understand American history because, well, “she is an immigrant!”
“I’m appalled,” Coulter said, when talking about Haley’s decision to remove the confederate flag from certain locations in South Carolina, after the deaths of nine African-Americans at the hands of a racist. “I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand America’s history.”
It should be noted that Nikki Haley was actually born in South Carolina and the last time I checked, South Carolina was part of the United States. But today’s Republicans don’t let simple facts get in the way of their hate for everything immigrant and their love for propaganda.
