I now want to pick a few nits with one of the right-wing wackos who works for Donald John Trump.<\/p>\n

Stephen Miller<\/a>, a senior policy guru for the president, says the administration will do “whatever is necessary” to build a wall along our southern border.<\/p>\n

Oh, but then he relies on that goofy perversion of the identity of the opposing political party.<\/p>\n

“The Democrat Party has a simple choice,” Miller said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They either can choose to fight for America’s working class or to promote illegal immigration.”<\/p>\n

Democrat Party? That’s what he calls the Democratic<\/em> Party.<\/p>\n

Hey, I get that it’s a minor point, but then again it really is more of a major<\/em> point than the Rs would care to acknowledge. The hard-liners’ insistence on using the perverted ID of the Democratic Party is intended to demonize a great political organization. One does not hear such a thing coming from Democrats who might be inclined to refer to members of the “Republic Party.” That, too, would disparage — if not denigrate<\/em> — the other great major political organization.<\/p>\n

As for Miller’s assertion that Democrats might want to “promote illegal immigration,” that is another branch broken off from the demagogue’s tree. No patriotic American wants to “promote” illegal immigration. We all want border security. Many of us just don’t want to build a wall to seal us off from our neighbors.<\/p>\n

Those Republican demagogues, though, are intent on demonizing the opposing party (a) by perverting the party’s name and (b) by suggesting they want to “promote” the commission of crimes.<\/p>\n

Get serious, young man.<\/p>\n\n
