Washington, DC The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., today welcomed President Bushs nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to succeed John Ashcroft as Attorney General. If confirmed, Gonzales would be the first Hispanic ever to serve as Attorney General.
We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination. We previously criticized the Bush Administration for not having an Hispanic in the cabinet since the departure of former HUD Secretary, now Senator-elect, Mel Martinez. We are pleased that one of the first acts since the Presidents reelection both rectifies that situation and marks an historic milestone for the Latino community. Never before has an Hispanic served as head of one of the four major cabinet posts Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense, and Attorney General, stated Janet Murguia, NCLR Executive Director and COO.
Murguia also noted Gonzales ties to the Hispanic community throughout his career. Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLRs oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) in Houston, Texas. Moreover, during his tenure as White House Counsel, he has been one of the most accessible members of the White House staff to NCLR and other Hispanic organizations, added Murguia.
Murguia concluded, We acknowledge that this is the first step of a long confirmation process that requires that his record be fully examined. That being said, Gonzales is a thoughtful, reasonable public servant, a man of his word, and we have every expectation that his nomination will be very well received in the Latino community.
Thanks, and worth repeating.
For example, you get some ding dong that burns a nazi sign on someone lawn, and it makes national news and repeated 10 times. LOL! And then you hear a month later it was the freaking homeowners that did it!
Yet, the nightly, brutal stories about drunken illegal aliens killing people on our highways don't rate, or the stories about illegal alien murders, bringing in drug by the tons, rapes, assaults, robberies are often ignored, or how many countless times do they do the story, and neglect to add that the perpetrators are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Then everyone usually finds out days or weeks later that, oh yes, they were illegally here.
Like that *brutal* crash caused by illegals just a couple of weeks ago in Arizona, killing like 7 or more people, including an innocent elderly married couple. It was hardly reported by the national MSM, and I don't think CNN ever even ran it, and if they did, it was very brief.
You and louie are so desperate are pathetic. Get hit with the truth, and you start posting pictures of KKK members. LOL!
Of course, over the weekend in LA, the cop that was shot in the belly, and the two others murdered appear to all be minority gang members, possible illegal aliens. Of course this is repeated nightly across our country. But hey, you can always try and convince the easily led that the KKK is the big threat. Hehehe.
You need to get yourself out of the 1940s chump.
Man, I've seen glaring desperation, but your post is really a reflection on you.
Tokyo Rose would be proud of you junior.
That way, all can see how you respond to the truth.
"Hey louie, why do you always bring up these so called militia groups in the woods, talking about nazi uniforms and all this other nonsense, but you never says a word about the *nightly*, routine, brutal murders, and shootings involving organized minority gangs, many of which are illegal aliens. Last year, thousand of people were brutally murdered, and injured all across this country in these shootings. How many involved these so called racist militia guys?"
Barlowmaker response:
Joe, your wife has lunch on the table:
Like I said Barlowmaker, Tokyo Rose would be very proud of you.
I never do, if I had wanted to discuss illegal aliens, I would have said illegal aliens.
Further proof that you don't see a difference between the two.
Ignorant?
Find yourself a mirror Joey.
FRAUD
So...how do YOU know that these things happen?
Smoke signals from the brotherhood?
Here's my definition, there are immigrants, and there are illegal aliens, but there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant because the word immigrant in and of itself implies legal entry.
Sometime in the past, Alberto Gonzales belonged to the NCLR, he appears not to be a member any longer.
FRAUD
For the record, that has no connection with the NCLR, that's not even M.E.Ch.A.'s slogan.
"La Raza stated goal is the disintegration of the USA, leading to the creation of Azland or reuniting the sw USA with Mexico."
All of you guys are lumping in the NCLR, MALDEF, and even M.E.Ch.A. with the racism of "La Voz de Aztlan", an organization disavowed by all mainstream Chicano PACs.
I know that they all look like little brown people to you, but get your facts straight.
I've been lurking this discussion for awhile. Knew I'd find sense in your posts....
Thanks.
;^)
Thanks, Joe!!!!
Oh yes, heaven forbid that MECha be lumped in "with the racism of La Voz de Aztlan". Why MECha's own homepage starts right out of the gate with the following "mainstream" principles:
HISTORICAL FOUNDATION
"The fundamental principles that led to the founding of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán are found in El Plan de Santa Barbara (EPDSB). The Manifesto of EPDSB sees self-determination for the Chicana and Chicano Chicano and Chicana Movement in El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán (EPEDA). A synopsis of El Plan stipulates: 1) We are Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlán reclaiming the land of out birth (Chicano and Chicana Nation); 2) Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, who are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture; 3) We are a union of free pueblos forming a bronze nation; 4) Chicano and Chicana nationalism, as the key in mobilization and organization, is the common denominator to bring consensus to the Chicano and Chicana Movement; 5) Cultural values strengthen our identity as La Familia de La Raza; and 6) EPEDA, as a basic plan of Chicano and Chicana liberation, sought the formation of am independent national political party that would represent the sentiments of the Chicano and Chicana community. Both EPDSB and EPEDA served as the historical foundation for the establishment of a viable Chicano and Chicana Movimiento, and are therefore, fundamental to the M.E.Ch.A. philosophy."
Ummm, for more details on this "mainstream" organization please refer to link below.
Your colors are showing Louie. You wouldn't be a member of MECha would you?
BTW, when is the National Council of "The Race" going to hold a press conference denouncing in every possible way the racism of MECha, and other fringe Aztlan conquest groups? Seems like it is long past due. Maybe they can also delete that "Race" bit out of their name to avoid any confusion.
I know that they all look like little brown people to you, but get your facts straight.
We lump all of these organizations together because they all practice racism.
No problem. It's always my pleasure to bring out the truth, regardless of who looks bad in the process.
M.E.Ch.A. doesn't have a homepage! Individual chapters do.
M.E.Ch.A. is just a bunch of idiot college kids mouthing off like most college kids do!
You fear these guys?
They want California back?
I'd be inclined to give it to them.
It would reduce both the number of illegal aliens and the number of liberal a$$holes in our country by millions.
As a side...it would make Joe a Mexican!
That would be poetic justice.
Sick.
Thanks for posting again even if it supposedly has already been posted.
Now I know how to vote on that FR poll...
