These need to be made into movies!
Movies? That will NEVER happen. Getting folks to read them is the best I can hope for.
Yeah, the ATF would NEVER be part of an evil plan that resulted in mass murder.
Like Fast and Furious.
What it is a foundational national policy of every Mexican "government" since 1850. The 'Zimmerman Note' of 1916 was not some far-fetched brainstorm of the Kaiser's Foreign Office. It was seeking to take advantage of a known Mexican policy.
Try and remember that Mexico was one of the world's larger (and temporarily rich) countries. When it lost the Mexican War, despite having a far larger population, and what everyone forgets, a far larger, far more experienced military, a national sense of shame became the dominant psychological trait. It is a far darker version of "La Revanche" that drove France to recover Alsace-Lorraine at all costs. It is far darker in another sense. Until more women arrived from Spain to officially marry Spanish colonists, they of course founded a wrong-side-of-the-blanket mestizo race, who of course did the same thing to the full blooded Indians who remained. The result: an incredibly complex caste system of rather vicious one-upsmanship. (And an insane delight in taking advantage of the stupid gringos. Us.) It is not "racist," in the sense that we know of in this country, because "class" plays a far larger role.
IMNVHO, America's biggest mistake with Mexico: our first adventure in "spreading democracy" (hardly ever a good idea) by helping them throw out Emperor Maximilian. An enlightened European constitutional monarchy would have been just the ticket for turning this hopelessly foul mess into some kind of modern, well-functioning country.
There is another debate that is as old as our nation. That is "Are we a Republic," or an "Empire." Abe Lincoln, for example, was vehemently opposed to the Mexican War! However, The Imperialists won, starting the pendulum toward a dominant federal government and a diminishment of the rights of sovereign states. Now that our strong Federal Government has fallen into the hands of the Left on every level, there is no will to defend the borders established by our victory in the Mexican War. In fact, they are ideologically in league with the Mexicans, a fully socialist country like the one they are establishing here.
With the help of Team Obama and others on the like-minded Left, the Mexicans fully intend to take back "Aztlán," one baby at a time, one house at a time, one street at a time, one town at a time and one state at a time.
The Bracken Theory? It's no theory at all. It's the Mexican Game Plan.
How about a book signing tour, maybe work in live shows with regional Conservative radio hosts, speaking engagements with various 2A, Tea Party groups, etc?
The history book written before history.
Thanks for all you do, Man!
