With the elections over, it is apparent the country politically is swinging to the ultra conservative right. The tea party will be merging with the Republican Party and soon a new political alliance will emerge. I predict that the name of the new party will be the Know- Nothing Party, and its candidate for president will be Sarah Palin.

The problem of illegal immigrants in America has been in the news lately, thanks to President Bush's proposal to grant them temporary legal status if they have a job. Yet the "immigrant issue" is as old as America itself, going back to, oh, Jamestown and Plymouth Rock.

* I think it's wonderful that the people of Logan want to support Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. by paying to put up these billboards recognizing him for his success. We should all be proud that he is such a positive representation of our state. If there is someone you would rather support, pay for your own billboard and quit complaining. I say, go Landau! * I just want to say that the Swindell columns were right on and any student in his class is better for it. Luckily, they are in college and can see for themselves the truth he is saying. I read about the Know Nothing party during the Civil War, but I never thought I would witness it now.

This being September in all its glory, it is the time of year when college football voters channel the Know Nothing Party. You know, the time of year when Associated Press pollsters have the brilliant foresight to rank Mississippi fourth and Penn State fifth and California sixth and Miami at No. 9.

The Know-Nothing Party was established in the 1840s by a group believing in nativism. They wanted to limit immigration. It was a secret organization to some extent because of a belief that certain white races were superior to others, which was counter to the belief that all should be welcome including "your tired, your poor and your hungry" (from the Statue of Liberty). When the Know-Nothing Party members were asked what they believed, their answer was: "I know nothing!" They were right!

It's been an uphill fight just to get the S.I. Democratic County Committee to back a Black, even though we give them over 90 percent of our vote," [Debi Rose] told the AmNews. "We have proclaimed our undying loyalty to the Democratic Party, and in return we get a pittance," she added. The AmNews reached out to S.I. Dem Party chairman, John Gulino, for comment: "I know nothing about that. I find that offensive," Gulino said. He said the Democratic Party is adding people all the time and would have some surprises concerning a minority candidate "in the very near future. "We have been asking elected politicians for years for a community center for our seniors and our youth in the Clifton community," Marge Garvin, founder of the community-based group People on the Move, said. She called S...

When presidential candidate John Fitzgerald Kennedy addressed Southern Baptist leaders in 1960 on the relationship of church to state, he did so in the shadow of enduring nativist hostility to Catholics seeking public office in America. From colonial days through the Know Nothing party of the mid- 19th century, from the "patriotic" societies of the 1890s to the great Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, nativists had claimed that any Catholic elected official must be subject to "papal dictation.

I'm wondering if you can help me find something. I have used it for more than 40 years, and you have probably used it, too. It's the Utah Republican Party. We seemed to have lost it. It was last borrowed by the tea party and Patrick Henry guys -- as well as others -- who have put a few nicks and dents in it. It doesn't purr quite like it used to do. It seems to screech and holler and boo and scream more than before. I think maybe they broke it. I'm not sure, because I just can't find it. And there are a whole lot of us looking for it. Maybe we will just have to go out and get a new Utah Republican Party that respects people's differences, that understands what being kind to one another and respecting differing views really means; a party that likes to work together to solve problems -- ...
