The Mexican Revolution, which began on November 20, 1910, and continued for a decade, is recognized as the first major political, social, and cultural revolution of the 20th century. The United States, Mexico’s northern neighbor, was significantly affected by the human dislocation that resulted: if someone did not want to fight, the only alternative was to leave the country—and over 890,000 Mexicans did just that by legally emigrating during the second decade of the 20th century….

Ay Carumba!
Mr. Obama is trying hard to make an imprint upon history. I like asking Mexicans WHEN the Revolution started... does anyone know when it ended? Does anyone know how many died. In school text books, it is likened unto the Bolshevik Revolution and Trotsky came to town, the MOTTO, THE LAND BELONGS TO THE PERSON WHO TILLS IT, some say was borrowed from the Russian Communist takeover. About the same time frame.
Holy crap.
It’s also no accident that Americans are better shots than Mexicans. Learn about ducking, beaners.
Well, you know how those muslims really are pretty big on the anniversary thingies
Nov 20th. Coincidence with Bammy’s Amnesty Proclamation? Nada.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

Symbolism? Nope, intentional. This is just more in-your-face spitefulness against Americans.
And we are powerless to stop this action. Republicans give lip service, at best to protests. Depressing, very depressing.
We are not powerless, we are betrayed.
In a country that at the time had less than twenty million people I've read estimates that over a million Mexicans died during the approx. ten years of conflict. Of course, the national economy was almost totally destroyed. Virtually all the major players including the major rebels Zapata and Villa met with violent deaths. Although Villa's death occurred after most of the major hostilities ended. Many of the gov. leaders were also swallowed up by the violence.
You realize if that happened the only thing that would change would be the location of the border that Mexicans would cross to get away from a despotic corrupt country.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...
Communism should be overthrown!
They need another revolution. ..
That’s a great piece.
We should adopt a platform similar to it...
I think the House should refuse to fund anything other than the military so long as Obama is acting outside the Conbstitution and statute law.
