Cindy Sheehan # 2 and the Wicca Widda of Fallon, Nevada #3

Rosa Parks did not play the victim card.

Idea: If there is an "undocumented" human rights organization of citizens of say, EL SALVADOR or GUATEMALA, etc. (illegal aliens) I would like to get some of their leaders to write a public letter, jointly (and release it to the newspapers) addressed to Elvira Arellano, asking her, "We read of you with Presidente Calderon. With your excellent contacts at the highest level of the Mexican Government, PLEASE! PLEASE! bring up our terrible plight, the issue of Mexican deportations of our brothers on Mexico's southern border. We only want a better life for us north of here, but we are being apprehended, detained and deported by the uncompassionate Gobierno and Policia of Mexico."

Really someone one ought to put them up to it.

Sin. Craig is the new Rosa Parks. Gay leadership at GLBT Task Force and Lambda Legal have been pushing for the decriminalization of cruising in bathrooms. His is the case they needed to show their struggle.

We need to determine whether she and other illegal invaders are agents of foreign governments, and whether they should be prosecuted for undermining the US government.

If she gets the ambassadorship she is requesting, she WILL clearly be an agent of the Mexican government (and their policy will be clear) AND she will be UNABLE to become a US citizen. HA HA!

Larry Elder should talk.

Larry Elder the author of this piece is a libertarian. For years he has advocated any willing worker (from anywhere in the world) should be matched up with any employer at any mutually agreed on wage.

It’s men like Larry that have helped us reach the state we are in here in Los Angeles, Larry’s home town.

Larry's way leads us to poor people living 20 or more to a house or ten in a garage, and no where to park in the streets like we see often in parts of Los Angeles. It's men with asinine ideas like Larry's that have resulted in the racial politics we see dominate the political landscape here in LA.

Larry's ideas have resulted in our overcrowded and failing city school system and shuttered up emergency rooms.

Larry says that the real problem is that we should not be providing free schooling or free emergency room medical care for anyone. In other words Larry wants to dismantle the welfare state. Well, so do I. But we have a far better chance of encouraging voluntary self deportation than we ever have of dismantling the welfare state.

The best we can hope for is to limit the welfare state to our own people and not extend it to anyone who shows up to work for ridiculous wages and deliberately undercut the US blue collar ( Larry is white collar) worker.

Larry Elder recently said that while he does not support it, dog fighting should be legal as dogs are property. He said owners have every right to hang or drown or shoot their dogs or to treat them in any way as they see fit as they are just property.

The common theme with Larry's libertarianism is it appears to be unburdened any kind of morality.

Regards

If I were The President or Condoleeza Rice, (which I am not of course) I would “PNG” her sorry ass just as fast as possible, the moment she set down on American soil, diplomatic passport or no diplomatic passport.

Maybe Bush will appoint Elvira to replace AG Gonzales.

I recall hearing that a bill to “fix” the 14th has been introduced (in the House I believe) but the author doesnt expect it to get out of committee soon.

Amending the Constitution is tough for even the least controversial issues. This issue would cause a firestorm.

i dont believe an amendment is necessary. The correct wording is in the amendment, has been misinterpreted, and can be successfully “corrected” w/o the states voting on a new amendment.

You and I have had this good discussion before my friend.

By googling the 14th one can get some interesting opinions obviously.

Elvira Arellano is not Rosa Parks. Ms. Arellano does bring to mind the young Rev. Al Sharpton. But the Rev. Mr. Sharpton was an American and grew into the role of a fine American activist. Ms Arellano does not who or what she is. The more
she tries to invent herself, the more distant and alien she
seems.

Well, solidarity and all that.
If Blacks are Ok with this, I'm in no position to have an opinion. Silly or not.

Just saying.

Nice fantasy, but the persana non grata is likely to be the certain response.
Ambassador to Darfur, or Congo may be more in line with her abilities.
