Multi-culturalism and its discontents

This made me laugh yesterday.

DON GONYEA: There are still no officially declared candidates, but an overflow crowd still packed the huge Point of Grace Church in Waukee to see five Republicans make an early pitch for consideration: former Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, Atlanta businessman Herman Cain and former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer.

But the first half of the program consisted of speeches not from the above list, but from event organizers and local politicians full of warnings of their own about the dire state of things in America under President Obama.

The Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's Gopal Krishna talked of spreading socialism and this...

Mr. GOPAL KRISHNA (Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition): We are concerned that a country that was founded on European-style Christian moral values has now become a multicultural haven for every weird and kinky lifestyle.

(Soundbite of laughter)

I didn't hear that laughter in the story, but maybe I was driving and simply laughing too hard myself as Mr. Krishna said, "wurd and keeeenky lifestyle."

Multiculturalism's a bitch, ain't it Gopal?

But then again, I'm just another racist liberal.
