I have mixed feelings aout workers coming into the country from Mexico. One hand, these people are being used as cheap labor (remember slavery?). On the other hand, the workers being displaced are American-born workers on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder.

Raising fuel costs may create a situation where the cost of shipping products overseas or by air from foreign countries with cheap labor is higher than manufacturing the product in the US.

Obviously that would require sustained increasing fuel prices over a sustained period. If that situation does occur and manufacturing jobs return to the US, what would happen if companies attempted to use non-US citizens as the manufacturing workforce.? In my opinion, the foreign workers would be out of luck in access to those jobs.

As manufacturing jobs increased in the US, foreign workers may face less pressure US born workers who feel more economically secure. Another possibility is that US born workers without the skills to find employment in manufacturing may be angered as they see fellow citizens gaining as they remain stagnant or fall behind.

Those unskilled US workers may demand that foreign born workers be shown the door and press the government for stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

If  manufacturing jobs are not available to foreign workers and the government has to address the concerns of US born citizens who feel left behind economically as fuel prices rise, illegal aliens may face even more pressure than they do now.

The question will be what fuel price will serve as the tipping point to ignite US based manufacturing.

MSM has tried to downplay aspects of race in the Primary results in PA, OH, WVA, and KY. In reality, it is clear that race played a role in the vote for many voters in the region.
If You Tube interviews are an indication, many citizens in Appalachia will just never accept an African-American President. These voters will revolt.

The Appalachian revolutionaries will be joined by White Supremacists from around the country along with members of closed communities like the one in Texas who want men to be free to marry 12 and 14 year olds.

Just as the MSM was taken by surprise by the militia group mentality that led to the Oklahoma City bombings, they are missing possible racial anger and frustration building in the residents of the region. An Obama Presidency would be the tipping point.

Hopefully, the crack Department Of Homeland Security is on top of the issue.

One of the funniest things that I heard came when MSNBC's Tucker Carlson called Scott McClelland an incompetent who only got his job because of connections. I was amazed. Did Carlson not see the great irony? What are Carlson's great accomplishments aside from finishing in last place on "Dancing With The Stars"?

Carlson got a job because he wore a bow-tie and he was a White male Libertarian/Conservative. MSNBC graded him on a curve and hired him to show their post 911 patriotism.. MSNBC even gave Carlson his own show, which failed. Carlson is now a political analyst for MSNBC. the qualifications for an analyst job for White Conservatives appears to be having an opinion.

Carlson is not the only low skilled Conservative White guy who has found employment in MSM. William Kristol sits in a columnist spot at the NYT. Since the first of the year, Mr Kristol has had errors requiring correction in three of his weekly columns. Kristol remains employed. Obviously fact-checking prior to publishing is not required for Mr Kristol. White Conservatives need not worry about accuracy in media.

On CNN-HNN, we have Glenn Beck. Mr Beck calls himself a rodeo clown. After attempting to watch him discuss hybrid automobiles with a GM executive, I truly understand the clown part. Beck made sure to attack environmentalists while addressing the alternative fuel source story. I could only stand about a minute and a half of the discussion before my head began to hurt due to the inanities passing for deep thought and humor coming from Mr Beck. Of course, Beck's high mark was asking Rep Ellison, a Muslim member of the House of Representatives if Ellison were a loyal American. Beck gets an hour of each weekday to promote Conservative views and to  think that he is thinking. Intelligence is not a criteria for Conservative white Affirmative Action hires.

Then, of course, there is the biggest Conservative White Affirmative Action hire of all times, GW Bush. Bush has set the gold standard  for Presidential incompetency. If you have a limited internal mental databse, you don't worry about the wide spn of options you have before you commit the nation to an unwise war. Also, since you perspective is limited, there is not a great deal of reflection.

Now we have the incompetent McClelland rejecting the incompetence of Bush, and  incompetents Carlson and Beck attacking McClelland for challenging the results of Conservative White Affirmative Action. If the issues weren't so serious , this would be a Three Stooges skit.
