That was the peak of the American republic....as the 1960s went along the nation fell into decline. We are now some kind of twisted welfare state/combo flop-house for the third world. There are no borders, no culture, no jobs & within the next generation or two there will no longer be any America....or at least an America that any of us remember.

We went to three border towns, Progresso, Matamoros and Reynosa. We were planning on going all the way to Laredo and head north on 35 from there but ran out of time. Yes, Texas took up a lot of it.

Was it Matamoros that got the big stores? I recall a few years ago of one of the towns had a bad fire and photos of it showed shacks with big oversized plywood midway-type facades. Was that Progresso?

Hubby said he did a Google walk through one of them and I haven't checked it out yet.

Nuevo Progresso is where we loved to go, I found a link that shows you pictures.

PROGRESSO

The 'rabbit warren bazaar' is what burned in Matamoros years ago. Reynosa never had much to offer.

Well done review of the reasons for the demise of Late Great USA.

That checklist is actually a methodical and systematic elite-inspired New World Order blueprint to break down and destroy the moral fiber of USA. That it co-opted Communist Goals to do so is coincidental.

United States of America
Beloved Nation
Land of the Free
Home of the Brave
1776-2008

We shall always remember.

I love this place... love the whole damned IDEA and IDEAL of this place... And they can’t EVER have this place for free, nor painless.

Yeah. I know. Sounds corny... But I’m serious.

It's a fait accompli, sorry to say.

The Founders created the most utopian nation in history -- based on Judeo-Christian morals and ethics. God truly blessed America. However, that nation they created and we once knew is dead. No longer does the Lord bless her; As a matter of fact, America is now accursed.

The ONLY alternative remaining in a divisive hodgepodge of misfits, leftist loons, whores and traitors is in creating a neo-confederacy -- united and rooted in the Founders ideals, traditions, and heritage. Yes, by necessity that means a Judeo-Christian ideal and ethic must be observed and respected, and Constitution "re-calibrated" in accordance to the Founders' original specific intent. The movement of people and lines of demarcation of a new republic would present a problem, but should be negotiable. Rogue cultists and the perpetual entitlement/parasite/victim class need not apply....

...Otherwise, may your chains set lightly upon you in the NWO's Neo-America, a vassal-state which is to be subservient to the UN.

Friend, Let me know when you get that Neo-confederacy up and running, and I’ll meet you there.

Wherever you go, the left will follow and re-establish itself. It’s what they do. They can’t exist without a larger system to parasite themselves off of. They produce nothing, they invent nothing, they believe in nothing, and they absolutely do NOT believe in live and let live.

And there’s only way to change that, and we all know what it is.

The evidence indeed strongly suggest that in 1861 the spirit of 1776 and US Constitution was breached, the Fedguv betrayed their pact with States, tyranny masqueraded as liberty, and the elitist seeds of globalism and a New World Order were sown.

Backatcha. Be a beautiful thing, wouldn't it?

Wherever you go, the left will follow and re-establish itself. It’s what they do. They can’t exist without a larger system to parasite themselves off of.

That's why a new constitution based on the Founders' actual intent would be required. All the loopholes and ambiguity that have been exploited by the subversives, elites, and internationalists would be closed and scrubbed from the original.

As you and many no doubt already know, it's taken a generation and a half for "America" to become hijacked. The God-less, Left's cult of chaos and inverted values, morals, and laws have perverted and betrayed the Founders ideals and constitutional intent. It should be proposed that the reptilian Left have their God-less, perverted, parasitic half of what will be a Banana republic -- and defecate all over THAT to their heart's content.

They produce nothing, they invent nothing, they believe in nothing, and they absolutely do NOT believe in live and let live.

Parasitic authoritarian cultists. From McCain to 0buma to Bill Gates to Alec Baldwin to Crissy Matthews to Al Sharpton. They are a drain and pain and curse upon the God's Promised Land. Let the Rockefellers, Gates', Soros', Clintons, and Sharptons cannibalize their own respective cult members and each other -- without the rest of us.

There’s only way to change that, and we all know what it is.

Yes, of course...but if per chance that situation doesn't come to fruition, there's always everlasting life in Paradise with The Lord. True liberty and freedom is found in the Lord.

“...Be a beautiful thing, wouldn’t it?...”

The last time around, it didn’t work out so well.

You nailed me last night. I clicked the Progresso link you posted and got lost in it till it was past bedtime.

Thank you for that link. Things sure have changed!

The rabbit warren bazaar is where I bought our onyx chess set and beat everyone till no one would play me anymore. :)

How do you figure they are not the Communists' agenda? Our 'progressives' have been following the Saul Alinsky playbook for a long time now, with it all just coming to fruition right before our eyes.

So sad it was ANNOUNCED what was coming. And nothing was done.

Sure changed, didn’t it!! I heard that “Disco” is still open and it’s closest to the bridge. Huge store and you would love it. I get so tired of people who don’t realize the really beautiful work the Mexicans can do. Carved wood furniture, stained glass lamps, inlayed wood, embroidered apparel, silver jewelery with precious stones, etc, etc.

Glad you enjoyed seeing it LJ. Yeah - the carved onyx figures too!
