Bono, buzzwords, and happy talk

From my blog:

 "social-justice awareness coordinator"

"interfaith element"

"overcomes fear"

"economic disparities"

"people of faith"

"… allowing our basic fears to enable us"

"diverse opinions … community … pursuit of justice"

"… who again quoted Bono’s speech"

If you enjoy buzzwords and happy talk about immigration that ignore the reasons why, pace Bono, "where you live" determines "whether you live" — namely the enshrinement of the sort of economic policies favored by people who engage in buzzwords and happy talk and quote rock stars — then you'll love the Catholic Courier of Rochester's report of a recent panel discussion.

    Let’s see – equating rejecting illegal immigration with building the Berlin Wall . . .

    And, what of the attendance to justice of one who has to sneak anywhere for anything but grace?

    And, by and large their ‘contributions’ to our economy don’t cover the costs of having them here. Frankly, bi-lingualism is a cost and drag on our economy.

    As I have said, and found brutally strong – I’d shoot them at the border as invaders. I’d counter-assault them by taking Pemex (and actually putting the profits into viable Mexican entrepreneurship rather than elitist graft) until they came to the table with realistic options for our security and their own development.

    I also notice that Bono-head made sure he was wealthy – like certain political clans in this country – before trying to tell everyone else where their charity ought to go . . . Good mesage, yes; but, the messenger?

    What – a – set of crocks!
