Dancing like Mohammed Ali. My guess is that he was a bantum weight fighter in his youth. Freholes and cervesas tend to take a toll on the body, but he still has the form of a boxer getting ready to duke it out.

These pictures are so revealing. Of what? They look like the United States House of Representatives in the 1800s.

Yes, in fact, these pics do resemble the brawls in United States House of Representatives in the 1800s WITH a difference: Obrador and his goon squads have NOT been elected. And they are attempting a coup.

Obrador and his goon squads have NOT been elected. And they are attempting a coup. Which makes the present altercation not only justifiable, but mandatory.
BTW, coke-can lady is HOT!

You could always sit on the side of a busy highway and toss people into traffic, just to get more real time kicks, Arrogant Bustard.

I wonder if American elected officials would have the guts to personally defend their offices against usurpers ... Somehow, I doubt it.

There are several expressions which indicate that the user is an idiot, devoid of intelligence or original thought.
"Quagmire" (in reference to a foreign war), "Generation-X", "neocon", "chicken hawk" (in reference to support of the military) and "single-issue voter" are among those expressions.
"Keyboard Commando" is certainly one as well.

Every MExican I talked to yesterday in Mexico City today was very ashamed of this circus. Talk shows, etc, folks aren't buying this. Ezines in Mexico, it's not working. This a.m, people movement was seen to take over an area near the National Auditorium, after the swearing in, Calderon will by by helicopter some say for a speech. This area is not blocked off, but heavy traffic this a.m. Yesterday men in bikini underwear, about a thousand paraded down streets blocking traffic complaining about a corrupt senator from Veracruz. For the tourists, it was fun taking pictures.

"Anyone who opposes those guys is a "good guy" in my book."
Stalin opposed Hitler during the 2nd World War. Was he a good guy? Extreme example, but the current leadership of Mexico is not in any way, shape, or form "good".

These are real factions and the situation could evolve to outright civil war. This can be contrasted with Iraq, where the factions aren't, and the civil war isn't.

"

Her name is Violeta Lagunes and we now have word that the cans were full. A
PRD legislator was quoted in
El Universal (Mexico City) and he identified her (translated) like this:
"
. . . Even so, he strongly maintained that the name of the female PAN deputy who threw full refreshment cans at the rostrum, "she is named Violent Lagunes, pardon, Violet Lagunes" . . ."
Girl's got a rep ...

Do you think the American Left may get that violent??
I take the reason for the violence is because Mexico is suppose to join Canada and America into a North American Union. There is a super NAU highway being made right now...
To: X-Ecutioner
It's only the first leg of the highway corridor. It will extend across Alaska to Beijing through Vladivostok.

It is an old FR thread. Which followed by a couple years an even older FR thread. This idea has been around a looooong time.
