Step aside Moore and Taylor. Welcome Garcia and Rodriguez.

Smith remains the most common surname in the United States, according to a new analysis released yesterday by the Census Bureau. But for the first time, two Hispanic surnames — Garcia and Rodriguez — are among the top 10 most common in the nation, and Martinez nearly edged out Wilson for 10th place.

“It shows we’re getting stronger,” Mr. Padilla said. “If there’s that many of us to outnumber the Anglo names, it’s a great thing.”

WAKE UP America!

Can’t be verified. All the Garcia’s are trembling in fear underground, or at least that’s what the media is saying.

AT THE ALAMO

March 6, 1836.

On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and walked from his bunk on the floor of the Alamo up to the observation post on the west wall.

William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were up there already.

The three gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily towards them.

Davy turned to Bowie with a puzzled look on his face and said,

“Jim, are we landscaping today?”

Luis Padilla, 48, a banker who has lived in Miami since he arrived from Colombia 14 years ago, greeted the ascendance of Hispanic surnames enthusiastically. “It shows we’re getting stronger,” Mr. Padilla said. “If there’s that many of us to outnumber the Anglo names, it’s a great thing.”

A single word comes to mind here…

I can’t get over the ignorance of people who remain loyal to the dump they escaped from before fleeing to America. We use to get immigrants who wanted to become American but now we get immigrants who wave the Mexican flag in our streets. This country won’t survive if its people have different loyalties. The people who come here today make a mockery of the The Pledge Of Allegiance.

They were talking about this on “Fox and Friends” this morning. The weather guy Rich Reichmuth joked that number 9 on the list was Reichmuth.

Having Garcia or rodriguez in the top10 or even top2 is much better than having mohammed in the top10, America is fortunate in that aspect.

My elderly landlords are from Germany and the husband was always ashamed of his German heritage and even went as far as rarely ever talking about it and not even speaking German or teaching his kids German, he wanted them to be Americans. His wife was somewhat in the middle but still learned English and was loyal to America.

Now we have people who want America to become a colony of their former country.

Don't you just love that quote? isn't that just lovely? White people are stupid, and deserve what they get. The communists have won, their multicult PC virus spread successfully, throught the body of America, we just don't realize it at this point. The body hasn't started to stink... yet.

If you think it's hard keeping up with the Jones' try being one of them. Believe me it's hard.

“Altogether, the census found six million surnames in the United States. Among those, 151,000 were shared by a hundred or more Americans. Four million were held by only one person.”

Four million were held by only one person ??

Doesn’t that strike you as odd? How could that be?

Very sad, but very true.

How far along are we on building that fence? And why are people, like this guy, so desperate to hold on to a culture from third world countries that are poor, dirty, and corrupt?
