I cannot quite get past the statement that Laura Ingraham made about immigration and the changing demographics that are being “foisted” on Americans who, like her, don’t like what those changes are bringing.<\/p>\n

Ingraham is a noted conservative talk show host and a regular on the Fox News Channel. Her comments have drawn a good bit of criticism from those who accuse her of race-baiting.<\/p>\n

Then comes this from CNN’s Chris Cuomo, who blasted Ingraham on his own TV program. \u201cTo turn a phrase back on our us-versus-them friends \u2014 if you don\u2019t like what America is, you leave,\u201d Cuomo said on his show “Prime Time.”<\/p>\n

Do you get the irony in that statement?<\/p>\n

A couple of generations ago, when Americans were protesting the Vietnam War, political conservatives bellowed to the hippies, yippies and other far-left protesters that they should leave the country if they disliked it so much.<\/p>\n

“America, love it or leave it!”<\/em> they shouted at them.<\/p>\n

What I’m hearing now is that the “love it or leave it”<\/em> mantra now has become the battle cry of those on the left to hurl angrily at those on the right.<\/p>\n

Fantastic, man!<\/p>\n\n
