Josh McKoon | Jun 9, 2016 | The Forum<\/p>\n<p>In politics it is good to have all the right enemies.<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank the gang over at <a href=\"http:\/\/bettergeorgia.org\/better-georgia-staff\/\">Better Georgia<\/a> for constantly illustrating their extreme leftist politics and <a href=\"https:\/\/alinskydefeater.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/26\/the-alinsky-tactics-\u2013-rule-by-rule-part-5-\u2013-rule-5-ridicule\/\">Saul Alinsky smear tactics <\/a>in their ongoing, hate-filled personal attacks on me. Although I lack the time or inclination to indulge these characters very often, I will share a few observations on their entry into immigration enforcement-related assaults.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at a recent Better Georgia blog (\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bettergeorgia.org\/2016\/05\/27\/undocumented-and-unwelcomed\/\">Undocumented and Unwelcomed<\/a>\u00a0) railing against the premise of official English in Georgia and the related Senate legislation I offered in the 2016 session.<\/p>\n<p>A rather angry and bitter young Better Georgia writer, Crystal Munoz, includes the usual and tired false premise that America is awash in \u201cxenophobia\u201d which she claims is manifested in immigration-related laws designed to protect American jobs, benefits and services for people with legal immigration status. Note that in the first paragraph, the victims of this \u201cxenophobia\u201d are \u201cundocumented immigrants.\u201d Then, in the second paragraph they become \u201cimmigrants\u201d and, finally, using her Alinsky race-baiting training, a sentence later the topic is skin color.<\/p>\n<p>Munoz also expresses Better Georgia\u2019s opposition to my bill, <a href=\"http:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/joshmckoon\/2015\/02\/10\/unlike-mexico-georgia-is-issuing-drivers-licenses-to-illegal-immigrants-n1955023\">SB6<\/a>, which in its final form would have required DDS to alter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/2016\/03\/09\/proposed-driving-safety-card-and-the-drivers-license-now-issued-to-illegal-alien-with-deferred-action-on-deportation-in-georgia-it-will-replace\/\">the drivers licenses Georgia is issuing to illegal aliens <\/a>with clear notation of their illegal status. In March, SB6 passed the Senate with a two-thirds majority. And it had the votes to pass the House had it been allowed a hearing there.<\/p>\n<p>Munoz also hopes to perpetuate the oft-told lie that my official English legislation was an effort at \u201cEnglish only\u201d in Georgia. In fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/Legislation\/20152016\/159254.pdf\">SR675<\/a> \u2013 which passed the Senate with a two-thirds majority and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/2016\/03\/10\/georgia-rep-wendell-willard-directed-sub-committee-kills-official-english-legislation-under-the-gold-dome-today\/\">had the votes to pass the House<\/a> \u2013 was aimed at constitutionally codifying English as Georgia\u2019s official language of government while providing common-sense constitutional protections for non-English speakers in public safety, medical treatment, education, law enforcement, courtroom situations, to promote diplomacy, trade, commerce and to protect the rights of victims of crimes and defendants.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, it may be educational for readers to take a minute to consider the commonality of the goals and objections here to official English and support for drivers licenses to illegal aliens between the rabidly-liberal Better Georgia activists and many of the powerful business forces posing as \u201cconservatives\u201d who lobby in the state Capitol&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/insideradvantage.com\/2016\/06\/09\/my-answer-to-attacks-and-exposing-liberal-version-of-progress\/\">READ THE REST HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insider Advantage Georgia My answer to attacks \u2014 and exposing liberal version of \u201cprogress\u201d by State Sen.
