I am a Republican.
Within the Republican Party's ranks, there ranges a diversity of viewpoints, but a common core of Judeo-Christian identity.
From those who claim to be gay, lesbian or bi-sexual to Pro-Lifers to Capitalist entrepreneurs, even where there may be disagreements with official Judeo-Christian teaching (e.g. the practice of homosexuality which is incompatible with Christian Teaching), the 'frame of reference' is still nonetheless the historic Western culture (Europe & North America) birthed by the Teaching, Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Republicans may disagree as to what it means to follow Jesus, but with the exception of a few Jewish Republicans (Mark Klein, M.D.), Jesus is still the hinge point upon which Republican Party political debates turn.
Here is where the MinuteMen Militia are distinctively non-Republican. Whereas even gay Republicans would likely still hold the Judeo-Christian Tradition as their reference point, the MinuteMen are openly non-Christian in their viewpoints. Mexican immigration is opposed at every turn. This is shocking especially since most Mexicans are hard-working, patriotic, Jesus-loving Catholics with strong family values. Canada, by contrast, receives no attention in securing "borders," yet Canada is extremely left-wing politically, verging on anti-Christian. Sadly, such a discrepancy can only be based upon a class-rooted form of "racial eugenics" in which anything Hispanic is somehow "less worthy" of American citizenship.
No, in contrast to such racial eugenics on the part of the 'far, far right' wing of the Republican Party, other Republicans such as myself, Senator John McCain and President George W. Bush are not racist (like the MinuteMen Militia are) and so they support Mexican immigration as a way of further bolstering our economy, granted with a cut-back on illegal immigration being warranted, but still a welcome bienvenidos to our newest Mexican-American citizens and soon-to-be citizens.
Viva George W. . . . Viva Senator McCain . . . Viva la Republica de Los Estados Unidos.
Blessings in Jesus,
