So odd, a few years back, some mistaken me for a conservative because I criticized Haunani-Kay Trask, Al Gore, and the Radical Leftists at UH. For that I got vicious smears from people like Tobin Jones.
However, if you read my blog posts the last few months, it is something that would give me vicious smears from the Radical Right.
Most of my political opinions haven't changed, but my priorities on my top topics did. Since I graduated from UH, and after the Churchill/Horowitz appearances at UH, I have paid less attention to the campus leftists.
Now, the extreme right-wing of the GOP wants to reduce or even ban immigration. And this goes along with idiotic, bullshit editorials from conservative writers like Thomas Sowell, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, etc.
I give President Geroge W. Bush and Senator John McCain for being pro-immigration, unlike other members of the GOP
I know A LOT MORE about immigrants than most right-wing conservatives. My family includes immigrants, my school classmates includes immigrants, and a large # of students I currently work with are immigrants. I am not going to be silent when someone writes bullshit editorials about people I love and respect.
Tobin Jones would be tempted to tell me "I told you so, that the Left-Wings are angels and Right-Wing are devils".
I'll tell him
1)Bush is defying the right-wingers on the immigration issue,
2) I still think Dr. Foltz and the other leftist profs need to stick to the frickin topic of the class instead of making political rants,
3) I dont care much about the 2000 election controversy anymore, since that's old news,
4) I was never a right-winger in the first place,
5) I spent more time criticizing the left-wingers on Ka Leo (www.kaleo.org) because the left-wingers dominated UH
The Dixie Chicks started their war on Bush in London instead of Texas. That's not bravery! I'd rather criticize the Left on their territory (UH) instead of doing it outside (ie, BYU). If I was a student @ BYU or Liberty University, I would've spent more time criticizing the Right Wing since most students there are conservatives.
If you are wondering whether I'm Right or Left on certain issues, just explore this blog. You'd have a very adventurous time doing so.
