Here's a few photos posted online by some supporters of the criminal invaders. They were taken at today's rally in Tucson.
LOS ANGELES PROTEST CROWDS: Not as big as predicted:
Pro-illegal immigrant protests that organizers and Spanish-language radio stations hoped would attract a crippling percentage of Southern California’s several million Latinos have been large and loud but not record-breaking — and were closer in size to throngs that celebrated the Lakers three-peat in 2002. By 4:30 pm, KABC TalkRadio’s reporters in the field were noting that crowds had dwindled to 60,000.
Well, a three-peat is a pretty big deal.
There you go, thinking logically again. ;)
These demonstrators want nothing to do with what this country stands for. They don't care about standards. All they know is they want what we have, and they plan to take it.
No, by "what we have" I mean like the way burglars want their victims have. In other words, they want to take it, not work for it. They want us to PROVIDE it. They want our welfare checks, they want our services (gratis of course), they want us to give them whatever they want. They want all this while maintaining their "culture" which along with the language also includes squalor and crime.
I agree.
Kind of like at the DNC National convention ;o)
Exactly, and Spiff only discredits himself with his false accusations and lame attempts to smear thousands of people with a few photos of radical nut cases.
But you have to admit, Jorge, it's happening on a more frequent, visible, and much more vocal frequency than it has in the past. And it isn't the same cast of characters each time.
The folks like the Mexica Movement, MEChA, The Council for La Raza, ect...leave reason to pause that they are not only working for the interests of the poor migrant worker, by their backing. It does leave pause for concern.
And yes, I do throw the DNC in that group too. ;o)
I'd love to think that they are small in numbers, and not have to worry about things like that. Because I am ready to see something that would assure me that these people mean no harm.
Next the conquistadors from Europe (the land they tell US to go back to...they should be going along since they all claim to be Hispanic or Latin)
Then the French and Germans had a fling and deposited some genetic info...and it sure seems like white European looking folks down there get the most out of 'Latin America' compared to the short stocky darker skinned Mexicans,Central Americans and South Americans...who are discriminated against by their own people...
Texas or at least parts of it were purchased legally from Spain by Americans...and the land was fought over keeping 'Mexicans' and bandits from stealing it...
So when the Mexicans want to steal land from the hated Gringos...they are 'indians' and when they claim their heritage they are Latinos or Hispanics...
Never Mongolic though...guess that part is just myth...
The bottom line is..using every trick you can come up with to convince yourselves and your enemies you are righteous in trying to leech off them, steal their property, rape their wives and daughters and hook their sons on meth...or at the very least bleed their taxpayers dry and vote for their politicians..
Whatever...lies are lies no matter how many believe in them and the truth is the truth no matter that no one believes it.
imo
Bwahahaha what a moron...
Geronimo killed thousands of Mexican...it was they who gave him his name...
His heros have always killed Mexicans....
This whole 'new' idea of 'give back the southwest' to Mexico thing is really just a nicely timed leftists ploy, playing off Bush and the war in Iraq. The folks fueling that kind of hate are using the immigrants and illegals to further their aims. Should they succeed, their pawns will be treated just like they think of or wish to treat the rest of us. It pains me that the immigrants and/or illegals don't see that, that they think of this as some revival of Che or some revolution for themselves. Che was a socialist commie who would have sold them out at the first chance. Just look at Venezuela or Bolivia today. Bolivia - just in the news today, elected a socialist and tanks are rolling in the streets. Freedoms are disappearing. Is this really what the supporters expected? And it just goes downhill from there...
You had regular access to authentic Mexican at some point? I hear even our 'good' places pale in comparison to, say, Texas Mexican places. I hope to try that one day.
Oh, here in rural PA there's little in the way of real Mexican food. We have Chili's - more southwest - and Don Pablo's which is pretty good, but still a long drive for either for me. And we had Chi chi's till the green onion disaster, people getting ill, one or more died.
This place is about 60 miles west of me, and is yummo. It's the closest place. We discovered another at a mall about 90 miles away. When my son was younger, he spotted it, but I thought it was just a bar and didn't want to take my child there to eat. It's my favorite place to go. Best tamales I've had yet.
If I were in your position, my stomach would argue that the picture of Zapata was just a senseless fashion statement, like those Che shirts a lot of college kids wear. ;)
I will be driving by that way on Friday, Cinco de Mayo, and my stomach may just win that battle. ;-)
Of course, now that I am totally cognizant of the unassuming guy in the photo, well, I'll have to really dicuss and argue with my stomach before going in. It is delicious. However, it's one of the few 'real' Mexican places locally where the workers aren't friendly. Not that it matters, it was just a surprise.
Yes, being from Texas and hispanic, I had access to Mexican food - both family/home cooked meals and restaurant cooked meals- on a daily basis. I really miss my mom's cooking, but my wife cooks great Italian dishes, so it balances out.
Don Pablo's has a new item, Carnitas, that is very good; but for the most part, the places I've tried in NJ pale in comparison to places in Texas. One thing I did find here in abundance is good Italian food and the pizza here beats Texas hands down.
The place you described 60 miles west of you sounds great. It reminds of a smoke-house my father use to take me to for lunch waaay back when I was a kid and we were living in a small Texas town (Seguin).
The smoke-house was really a Mom & Pop Shop of sorts. You could tell that the store was really set up to be a meat market, but at the front of the store, just enough space was apportioned so that the butcher's wife could sell clothes and other trinkets that she had made. I remember seeing in the store window a mannequin in a wedding dress and how the dress had been tarnished from the smoke and smelled like barbeque. Who would buy that? LOL.
At the very back of the store were a row of tables that the butcher had set up for regular customers to come in, shoot the s#!t, and have lunch. I also remember thinking how odd it was that the cutlery was chained to the tables! We would always get the same thing- a couple of sausage links, a few slices of bread, and a Big Red. Then we would go to a building out back and pick out a few pounds of meat to take home for the week.
I hadn't thought about it till now, but I don't think I have ever told my dad how much I enjoyed going with him to that store.
Anyway, good luck fighting with your stomach!
I love this game of who was here first. I also love the whining about how illegal aliens are treated in the US, while ignoring how illegal aliens are treated in Mexico. I read that 40% of Mexicans on a payroll in Mexico are employed by American companies. I've also read that Mexicans (legal and illegal) working in the States are the number two source of cash for the Mexican economy.
So, if 11 million illegals in the US can become the #2 cash producers for Mexico (after living costs in the US), how badly do they have it here? Just wondering.
Invaders desecrate a Spanish American War Memorial located in Armory Park in Tucson, AZ.
I think we're becoming much more aware of it now that this issue has moved to the front burner.
And yes, the opportunist kooks are coming out of the woodwork...as they do in any situation like this.
And don't get me wrong, I think people who come here illegally and then insult the generosity of Americans with these sort of insults should have their butts kicked back across the border pronto! We don't want or need them here.

Mmmm, sounds really great, like you had access to the best. I haven't been to Don Pablo's in a while. I have to admit, I like Mexican, and Italian, but never really loved to order them out until we found little places like this one. My son got me 'hooked'. First on Taco Bell when he was much younger. Then we branched out. Nothing 'good' near me, either.

Oh, that sounds wonderful. For 'ambience' and the food! The further place has kind of an atmosphere like that, not as rustic since they're bigger now and have more than one location. But the same kind of food. It's amazing, as I eat at more non-chain places, how much variation there is between mole sauces and tamales, for example. But then it shouldn't amaze me, because I had been accustomed to only chain food for so long.
I hadn't thought about it till now, but I don't think I have ever told my dad how much I enjoyed going with him to that store.
That is such a nice story! I don't know if he's still with you or not, but you should tell him if you can and/or enjoy such a meal with him, or in his honor if not. It reminds me of a place we visited when we went to my grandmother's. She was an immigrant, living near an Italian immigrant neighborhood (though we aren't Italian). And down the street was the little butcher and his store with some 'convenience' items. And 'penny' candy. I remember that place fondly, especially in the spring, when my mom would pick out a small bit of lamb for us to take home for Easter.
