Los(t) Rangers

 

 

Michelle Malkin has a rundown of some interesting quotes from e-mails and others regarding yesterday’s insulting choice by the Texas Rangers organization to celebrate a foreign holiday by renaming the team Los Rangers for the day...for now. Bad move for a Red State baseball team, but appropriate for a team formerly owned by Mr. “it’s not Amnesty” himself: George W. Bush. How fortunate as well that the Mexican consulate approves of the new jerseys.

 

Big business seems to think if they can push their self-serving amnesty down our throats a little harder, we'll just fall in love with the idea. I say, keep it coming, along with the Anti-America protests, and the closings-for-a-day of businesses that hire unlawfully present hostile foreigners: this only makes the job of the American voter and consumer that much easier (though I think it would be fun to show up at their next home game with signs saying "No To 'Los Rangers', Yes to America", and so on).

 

Since ethnic Germans are Texas' largest legally present group, I wonder if we can expect to see Feldhüter von Texas emblazoned across their shirts the next time baseball strikes carry the season into Oktoberfest. Probably not, since Germans, along with the rest of those who immigrate here legally, learn English.

 

So much for watching the Texas Strangers play ball; go Astros.

 

More at Cam Edwards, Rue St. Michel, and Gringoman
