Barack Obama told the Hispanic Caucus in his speech that “Mexicans” were here in America long before the United States was an idea.

I forgot to say, this all started when my son came home from school with the assignment to “Make a Family Tree”. Mom went and got the family Bibles, the Land Grant that brought us to Missouri and started digging for “her beloved grandson”. I was so ignorant, I had to ask who Virginia Dare was. She gathered it all up, went to the Genealogist Society at the St. Louis Public Library, and from there it went. The earliest family Bible dated 1812, so she had a pretty good start, but couldn't make any further progress on her own.

Did they speak Spanish, too?

Barack Obama told the Hispanic Caucus in his speech that “Mexicans” were here in America long before the United States was an idea. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I await the day when Obama goes to Wisconsin and says the same thing about the Vikings.( sarc.)

Obama's statement hardly justifies a repetition of the Conquistador scenario now as the drug cartels are allowed to recreate the conquistador slaughter along our Southern border.Obama is one sick puppy.

This is the historic justice that is the foundation for Obama's nationalist socialism.......thats right, FASCISM!!

Historic justice has been the calling card of every fascist dictator of the 20th Century. Obama is no different from them, blaming those who are now dead for alleged wrongs to be paid for by those now living who had nothing to do with it.This is exactly what the Obama Junta is, no mistake about it.

[Thebaddog]

I wonder if Hannity and Limbaugh have seen this yet?

[Typical_Whitey]

Yes and that culture and those people were obliterated by the Spanish Conquistadors’, New Spain was the name of the area that encompassed current day Mexico and much of western north America. So Obama’s revisionist history it seems leaves out the conflicts of the times, I guess had Obama been President there never would have been an America from Sea to Shining Sea...

Sorry, I thought my sarcasm was plain enough without a tag.

According to Aztec legend, they came from far to the north, which Mexican racists take to mean the SW USA and draw the conclusions I mentioned from this "fact."

The Aztecs are fairly closely related linguistically to the Utes and other SW American tribes, FWIW.

There is, BTW, some evidence that the move of the "Anasazi" into their cliff dwellings was related to an increase in Meso-American influence, perhaps even "missionaries" from what is now Mexico.

If the neighbors got into human sacrifice and cannibalism, I'd move into a cliff dwelling, too.

There have been no Aztec ruins ever discovered in what is now known as the United States.

Actually not true. Just outside the town of Aztec, NM there is a large ruin that is called "Aztec Ruin." Nothing to do with the actual Aztecs, of course, but still an Aztec ruin.

Our turd of a president doesn’t even know we have 50, not 58, states. WTF does he know about any American history? Sheesh.

[SaraJohnson]

Obama hates this country and wants to destroy it. It is a long tradition for Africans to poop in their own nests.

[AuH2ORepublican]

Newcomer.

One of my ancestors was a Spaniard who settled in San Juan, Puerto Rico (the oldest European settlement under the U.S. flag) before 1530.

And the 1587 Roanoke settlement that included Virginia Dare’s parents was the second such settlement, the first having come in 1585. The 1585 expedition stopped in western Puerto Rico on the way to North Carolina, where another ancestor of mine, Spanish Governor Diego Menendez de Valdes (an Asturian, and cousin of Juan Menendez de Aviles, the founder of St. Augustine, FL), allowed residents to trade with the Englishmen who needed supplies for the rest of their voyage.

But it’s okay, I’ll let you stay. : )

[DoughtyOne]

Sorry. Heh heh heh...

[fishtank]

Get you nose out of the air, 000bama, “we’re tired of defending you”.

[Czar]

All good points.

The conclusion here really is inescapable. We have a federal government that has lost both the legal and moral authority to govern. It would therefore appear we have a rogue government.

[TigersEye]

0blahblah is a nitwit who doesn't know the most basic history of America. There was no such thing as Mexico until 1821. It was a place, like the Sonoran desert is a place, but until independence in 1821 the people there were subjects of Spain and either Spaniards or of some native tribe. There were some other European imports too such as Germans, Dutch and French but they were also Spanish subjects.

I have known a lot of poorly educated half wits in my life but I am hard pressed to think of one who was so poorly informed about our history as this Kenyan goofball.

[VR-21]

"Look out Arizona. He’s going to give you to Mexico. Along with Texas, California, New Mexico, etc, etc."

Which of course means that Mexicans will then be sneaking into Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

[Candor7]

The Big h-O-le is simply revising history to meet his own agenda of calling for a Sonora Uprisng.

He figures if he can get all the minorities and the Mexicans rioting, that the rest of us will all cower and run. He is making a very large mistake.

Obama wants the streets of America to run red IMHO.

[Mouton]

The point is he is not a citizen.

This asshat pos has to go...deport him along with his aunt.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

In fact, the elitists want the conservatives and dependents to dispose of each other.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing. That what you said is a fact or what you said didn't generate a response.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Oh, darn. I thought I'd just won the lottery. ;-) That's what they used to call Grandpa's family - Newcomers. They'd only been here from the late 1600s, early 1700s. Well, at least you knew where you were. I didn't even know that. Thank you for the extension of such gracious generosity. I defer to your superior credentials and accept with overwhelming gratitude.

[chilltherats]

Huh??? There was no “Mexico” when the U.S. came into being.
