How far behind them are we?? A few years?
"How far behind them are we?? A few years?"
I hope we are a few centuries behind them. It is all in the hands of the courts and we're getting a lot better judges than we used to. But you just have to feel that until we get higher education traightned out we're not going to succeed.
Not far behind, for sure. About two years ago, there was one of those La Raza type of rallys somewhere in the southwest and some patriotic Americans showed up to voice their own opinions about the "Reconquista" garbage. An elderly woman was shouted at by one of the musclebound thugs, and when she dared to tug the kerchief down so his face could be seen, *she* was arrested for battery.
I don't remember what the follow-up to that incident was, but it was plenty disgusting.
In some areas around the country it would seem we are closer than that...
We're headed the other direction, at least here in Georgia. We passed a Castle Doctrine law this year.
