"We are for the rule of law and securing our nation. What's wrong with that?"

Amen!

[elkfersupper]

Fine.

[Gabz]

Works for me.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, and if Kansas City caves,

we'll boycott them from having any conservative conventions,

we'll take our ball and go home -

just like the dems

I wish.

dems/ brats having the ususal hissy fit

stomping their feet,

face red

Conservatives stuck being the rational adults...

Both the NAACP and La Raza are racist groups. Even their names make that perfectly clear. What city would want to host a gathering of such racist scum?

[taxesareforever]

All towns should appoint someone from the Minutemen to a town position. That will limit where La Raza will hold conventions.

"..He also has said he would not ask Semler to resign because "if I'm going to champion diversity, I've got to defend diversity of opinion and political thinking along with ethnicity. I won't abandon that principle because the city might lose a convention.".."

Also if Funkhouser did ask her to resign he would lose a lot of the support that got him elected.

Actually Semler obviously did not read about the many controversies surrounding the minutemen. Anyone in politics should consider these things before they get involved in an organization. I doubt if this old lady had any clue at all.

I hope other pro American orgs. step up and fill the spots these anti American groups are vacating !!!

"We see the Minutemen as an extremist group that espouses hate and vigilanteism and some violence,"

This coming from the president of an explicitly racist organization ("La Raza/The Race"). LOL

$$$$, Baby, $$$$$

[Tzimisce]

...so a group for blacks and a group for hispanics is screaming “racism”? what’s wrong wtih this picture?

[isrul]

The love of $$$ is the root of all evil.

"We see the Minutemen as an extremist group that espouses hate and vigilanteism and some violence," Murguia said

Wow, Murguia told four lies in one short sentence!

As someone who lives in the KC area, I'd like to say that I'm all for a LaRaza convention here in KC, as long as there's also a US Border Patrol agent reunion, and maybe an ICE training seminar or two going on that very same weekend, hopefully in the same hotels!

Why would Kansas want to host these two groups, La Raza and NAAACP anyway? I would think it would give the city a black eye. It’s like hosting the Ku Klux Klan.

[newzjunkey]

The National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic advocacy supremacist group

There, I had to fix that.

[newzjunkey]

It’s like hosting the Ku Klux Klan.

It should be but the press would never expose La Raza for what it really is. In their world, only whites can be racists, bigots, separatists and supremecists.

The Parks and Recreation Board members are not paid. It is not a political position. In fact, you just need to fill out an application form and the Mayor reviews the applicants.

Additionally, Semler had a visit to her home from 9 members representing various Hispanic and African-American groups. They called her home (without identifying themselves) and asked if she was Francis Semler then hung up. Later the gang showed up at her home. She did not answer the door because she didn’t know who these people were. BTW, they also parked their cars around the corner.

They were delivering a letter asking that she resign. So instead of mailing the letter they decided to intimidate and harass her. Nice behavior.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Funny that none of that has gotten in the news.
