Video: John Birch Society president visits Arizona, says all kinds of stuff

Oh, you are so good to us! We asked if someone could please go to the John Birch Society president's speech on immigration in Mesa, Arizona, and send video. And you did! @tiggrr1 showed up at the Burke Basic School on Tuesday -- "tickets $7 at the door" -- and brought back two clips of JBS president John McManus.
"I salute the state of Arizona for taking matters into your own hands," McManus told the crowd before citing statistics from the anti-immigration Federation for American Immigration Reform. He warned of tax-payer funded professors pushing the idea that border states should leave the union -- not the Texas secession way, either. McManus:
"These movements are very well attended. They have a lot of steam behind them. They mean business. And what they intend is to have part of our country go back to Mexico."
After the jump, McManus talks socialism -- and, I think, calls President George W. Bush a socialist.

McManus in Mesa:
Our country is being brought into socialism. The man who's in the White House is a socialist. His predecessors were partly socialist, or quasi-socialist, or more like socialists than they were constitutional Americans.
Who does he mean by President Obama's predecessors? Does he mean President Bush, or Presidents Bush and Clinton, or ..



And my favorite part:
"Legal immigrant growth is also changing America. We have people coming here who don't want to assimilate. They become citizens, they still don't want to assimilate. They want to be taught in their language. There are dozens of Spanish-language radio stations in Los Angeles County. Dozens!"
The outrage! The horror! Que onda, guero?
