I want to ask a few simple questions. And then I shall answer them. What has happened to our vaunted idealism? Why have some of us been behaving like scared chickens? Where is the million-throated, democratic voice of America? For years it has been dinned into us that we are a weak nation; that we are an inefficient people; that we are simple-minded. For years we have been told that we are beaten, decayed, and that no part of the world belongs to us any longer. Some amongst us have fallen for this carefully pickled tripe. Some amongst us have fallen for this calculated poison. Some amongst us have begun…

I am tired of hearing the protests of people saying they are going to take up the tools they use to work for us (shovels and pick axes) and use those tools to take us over. I have heard one too many times that “Texas was Mexico’s and you took it from us…”. So, to you my friend I give a short history lesson. Like other states discontented with the central Mexican authorities, the Texas department of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas rebelled in late 1835 and declared itself independent on March 2, 1836. Santa Anna marched north to bring Texas back under Mexican control. On March 6,…

I use the term Hippie, so I don’t have to call them idiots all the dang time. I define a Hippie as someone who has nothing to stand on or shout about except ideals. They don’t want to do anything to reach it, because normally taking action to accomplish the ideal – requires them to break one of their other ideals. I had a great debate with a guy from Colorado in class this week. He was an older guy who butted into my conversation with a friend with a very strong “Let me tell you something young man. I lived through the ’60’s and this is RACISM that is…

I am not even believing this…well, yes I am, but I am trying to pretend it is just a bad dream. This immigration thing is getting more stupid by the day. Raul Rodriguez says he doesn’t know English well enough to find the right words for the Arizona lawmakers who passed a bill targeting illegal immigrants. Well, there is one of the problems…he does not know enough English to express himself. Well, that is bull crap! My question are: How long have you lived in this country Mr. Rodriguez? Are you a citizen? (Sorry, the articles did mention he was in fact a Californian. What the hell?) Do you not…

I purposely put the title in question form because do we really give a crap what the President of Mexico thinks about our immigration laws? I mean does he have trouble with Americans crossing over into his country illegally? Do Americans go over to Mexico and get benefits, etc. for free? We have had due process for immagrants in this country for some time now…last amended on July 9, 1868 – I believe. (In fact here is a link to learn more) So, lets think about this – and we all know that illegal immigrants crossing over from Mexico is a lucrative trade, met with an even more lucrative deal…
