Follow-up on Satan's minions posing as illegal immigrants
In this post, I mentioned a resolution being considered by a county-wide Republican party convention in Utah. The resolution declared that illegal immigration was the work of Satan. The state Senate Republican party leader predicted "I don't think there is going to be a great deal of people attributing the problem to Satan" at Saturday's convention.
Boy howdy, was he wrong. Let's start with the words of Don Larsen, the party official who proposed the resolution in the first place:
In a speech at the convention, Larsen told those gathered that illegal immigrants "hate American people" and "are determined to destroy this country, and there is nothing they won't do."
Illegal aliens are in control of the media, and working in tandem with Democrats, are trying to "destroy Christian America" and replace it with "a godless new world order -- and that is not extremism, that is fact," Larsen said.
Following Larsen, a whole bunch of whackjobs chimed in to agree with him:
One speaker, who was identified as "Joe," said illegal immigrants were Marxist and under the influence of the devil. Another, who declined to give her name to the Daily Herald, said illegal immigrants should not be allowed because "they are not going to become Republicans and stop flying the flag upside down. ... If they want to be Americans, they should learn to speak English and fly their flag like we do."
Although some party members spoke against it, they were roundly booed by the audience. Larsen was allowed the last word:
"If the Democrats take over the country, we will be dead, and we will have abortion and partial-birth abortion and the Republican Party will go into extinction," he said. "Nancy Pelosi and the ACLU would oppose this (resolution)."
The resolution failed because not enough people stuck around to hear it presented; the lack of a quorum is the only thing that prevented them from voting on it. Frankly, I think they should have voted on it and let it become official record that this is the position of a bunch of Republicans in Utah.
