THE CASE FOR NAMING THE NEXT BIG ICE OPERATION AFTER THE MAN WHO FOUGHT ACTUAL NAZIS, AND YET, HE DEPORTED OVER A MILLION MEXICANS.
People aren’t necessarily stupid from an IQ standpoint, but they are shallow. Sadly, I realized this when I was in High School and where I first heard the political term that a bumper sticker is more important than a well reasoned argument. Americans (aka mindless zombies going about their lives) see a bumper sticker they find funny, and they are more open to that side of the argument than if they heard a long winded argument for the other side.
I grew up with this in a sense with the “Nation of Immigrants” saying being laid on thick in the classroom. Supposedly, this claim that we are a nation of immigrants didn’t even start till JFK ghost authored a book called just that, A Nation of Immigrants (see here). The title itself is a catchy little saying. I would argue that it is also untrue. “Nation” comes from “nativity”, to be born into something. An immigrant cannot be a native since they had to immigrate into another land, they were not born into it.

I would highlight where it says “common ancestry and language”.
My perspective is going to be different than the person who barely naturalized. I’m a Mayflower descendant which means part of my family was in what would become the United States for over 150 years before the American Revolution even broke out. By then, we had been separated from England long enough to have come to see ourselves as a different people despite the shared ancestry and language. When we fought the American Revolution, we did so under the Articles of Confederation. If we were still under the Articles of Confederation, I would still be American. It was only when the Articles proved too divisive that it was decided to write up a new Constitution, and they put right in the preamble that they were writing it for “…ourselves and our posterity…”, and not for the inhabitants of the globe.
Going back to sloganeering, another lie that was thrown about was calling Obama the “Deporter in Chief”. As I wrote about previously, all of Obama’s increase in deportations amounted to a cooking the books, creative accounting, also known as lying. I wrote about this in “The Deceiver in Chief“. Yet, years on and I still see the lie repeated that Obama deported a great quantity of illegal aliens. He did not. As a Border Patrol Agent working at the time, I assure you he did everything he could to thwart us and keep us from being able to do our jobs. (If you want to read more about how Obama decieved, pick up a copy of my book “What Bridge Do You Work At?”).
When Trump became president, the sloganeering continued with the “Kids in cages” lie. When Obama had opened up the border, Obama knew it looked bad from a political standpoint, so, it was his administration that was originally separating families at the border. They were trying to give the impression that they were actually enforcing the law and the law does (or did at the time) require that children be separated from their parents when the parents are arrested. As Tom Homan famously pointed out to AOC during a heated exchange, if a police officer arrests a father for DUI and there is a child in the car, then the parent and the child are separated.
Child separation from parents who crossed the border illegally had been happening since as far back as when I joined the Border Patrol. Most of the time, the whole family was taking a “Voluntary Return” and so headed back to Mexico together. However, if the parent was charged with a crime, then they were getting separated. It happened under, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. The Trump administration sought to expand prosecution of illegal aliens under 8 USC 1325, and that’s when Democrats pretended like this was the first time anything like this had ever happened.
So, now we get to the current times. On social media, you can see people posting that Trump is a Nazi, his followers are racists, ICE is the new Gestapo etc… I would argue that this historical revisionism goes along with the cheap sloganeering just like before. It is effective in swaying the all important moron vote. As I’ve said before, the moron vote is the most important voting bloc in the American electorate.
Focus groups in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s loss found that calling someone “racist” was effective in shaming them into going along with the Democratic agenda. So, the Democrats and their media allies started ramping up calling everything racist.

The Democrats think that by labeling the MAGA movement as fascist it will allow them to win over more morons and allow them to dominate elections. I honestly believe that the only lesson they took from World War II was that white people were the problem. The same shallow mindset that believed that all Jews were bad just reversed itself into believing all white people were bad. If you are white, the only solution for you is to import more non-whites into your white country and try to self erase yourself. Essentially, it’s to commit cultural suicide.
I see lots of memes like this:

Or this:

Vulgar and untrue, but I admit effective propaganda in getting the moron vote.
If you had walked up to Patton and told him he was “Antifa”, he wouldn’t have known what you meant. Antifa was the German communist party’s shock troops. It’s red flag representing communism, and the black flag representing anarchy. Far from being pro-Communist, in fact, Patton was for going into Russia after World War II ended. Patton’s quote below.

As for Eisenhower, he fought fascist overseas. He was so convinced that what we were doing was right that he saw it in biblical terms and so called his book on it, Crusade in Europe.

Too bad there was no one there from Antifa to tell Ike that the Crusades were a bad thing.
Eisenhower did not even know about the extent of the concentration camps till he liberated one of them. After seeing one, he supposedly said, “We are told that the American soldier does not know what he is fighting for. Now, at least, he will know what he is fighting against.” Notice that this did not happen at the BEGINNING of the war, but towards the end. So, it was not a cause of the war.
When Eisenhower returned to the United States and launched Operation Wetback, he was concerned with the corruption that was being caused by all the illegal aliens. He deported over a million Mexicans in under a year. He wasn’t thwarted by activist judges.
“The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican…to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government.” A paragraph in the New York Times highlighted by General Eisenhower when communicating with Senator Fulbright.
Eisenhower also said about white southerners when talking with Supreme Court judge Earl Warren, “These are not bad people,” the president said. “All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit in school alongside some big black bucks.”
Finally, Eisenhower did send in the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas to force integration. Later, Ike was to say one of his biggest mistakes was appointing Earl Warren to the bench.
Because, Eisenhower fought actual Nazis, because he deported over a million Mexicans, and because Ike was willing to send troops in to restore law and order, I propose that the next time ICE and/or the National Guard is sent into a “sanctuary” city like Portland or Chicago, then the name of the operation should be Operation Eisenhower. Expose the shallow arguments of the left for what they are. Show them that the real heroes of World War II would have fought their Antifa asses to the death.

P.S. I’ve read through the root causes of World War II and no where does it say the holocaust was a factor in its start. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2409/the-causes-of-wwii/. The whole Antifa narrative is a fraud.
