With the exception of Grassley, every Republican on that list of supporters of a new race-based regime in Hawaii also voted for the execrable Sebate amnesty bill. This suggests that the split in the Republican Party is not narrowly confined to immigration (and isn’t driven mainly by campaign contributions from cheap-labor industries), but rather is a broader split over what John O’Sullivan calls the National Issue — i.e., between patriots and post-Americans. This applies even to McCain who, despite his truly heroic conduct as a young man, has grown beyond parochial concerns and become a post-American or, in Sam Huntington’s typology, a Cosmopolitan.
