A while back a front page story in the  local rag of record, The Arizona Republic<\/em>, implied  that one is either a native American, a black, or an Anglo. Now with my kind of surname, I am certainly no Anglo. And even though I am a 'person of color,' my color inclining toward a sort of tanned ruddiness, I am undoubtedly not black either.<\/span><\/p>\n

It follows that I am a native American. This conclusion is independently supported by the following argument:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. I am a native Californian.<\/span>
2. California is in America.<\/span>
3. If x is native to locality L, and L is within the boundaries of M, then x is a native M-er.<\/span>
Therefore<\/span>
I am a native American.<\/span><\/p>\n

This argument is impeccable in point of logical form, and sports manifestly true premises. What more do you want?<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that (2) is true whether 'America' is taken to refer to the USA or to the continent of North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us also observe that since I am a native American, it cannot be the case that "we are all immigrants" as far too many liberal knuckleheads like to claim.<\/span><\/p>\n

We need more mockery of liberals. There is little point in attempts to engage them on the plane of reason, for that is not the plane they inhabit.<\/span><\/p>\n
