American needs an Enoch Powell

“It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”

That’s how the great British statesman, Enoch Powell, in a controversial speech, described the national suicide his country was undertaking by opening the flood gates of mass immigration.

Predictably, after delivering the speech Enoch was condemned by the establishment, and fired from the Shadow Cabinet.

However, history has proven that Enoch was right.

Some might even call his speech prophetic. Especially, given that this speech was delivered in 1968, long before the constant fear of terror attacks the British now live under.

Enoch was not only right for the British in the 1960’s, but his speeches reign true for America today.

We need an Enoch Powell in our Congress who is not afraid to speak the truth even when it puts his political career in jeopardy.

Though the current generation may not completely feel the nation-crumbling effects of the balkanization which is taking place in America, our children will, and their children will.

And then blood will rest upon the hands of those politicians and presidents today that have been too craven to speak out.

As Enoch concluded his famous “Rivers of Blood” speech he confessed, “All I know is that to see, and not to speak would be the greatest betrayal.”

George W. Bush is betraying us. Every Republican, Democrat, and true American who doesn’t stand up and fight to protect our nation’s borders and vigilantly enforce our law is betraying us.

Excessive and unchecked immigration is threatening to destroy our great nation.

The rule of law is becoming diluted; our economy is taking a serious blow as millions of dependents illegally enter America and receive our health care and education; our physical security is threatened as terrorist sleeper cells from countries all across the world effortlessly walk across our borders; and our culture is being threatened as public schools cater to those in America who can not speak English.

Illegal immigration must cease.

I applaud and respect those politicians, such as Tom Tancredo, whom in the essence of Enoch Powell have had the guts to speak out for what they know is right.

America needs more like him; and America needs more like Enoch Powell.
