LAREDO, TEXAS--Texas Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis woke to some unsettling numbers along the Texas/Mexico border today. Of the 14 counties along the Rio Grande, Davis lost seven—including heavily Hispanic Webb and Hidalgo Counties. Davis Challenger Reynaldo “Ray” Madrigal’s prediction may have come true to an extent—Wendy has a pro-life Catholic problem and may not hold the support of motivated Latino voters by default.

She could try that old democrat trick, and have a press conference today with some ashes on her forehead to try and trick Catholics into voting for her.
That’s a good attitude to have.
I’d probably homeschool rather than have my kids attend with gangbangers and be educated by commies. We homeschool for pretty much those reasons where we are anyways.
Let’s hope some of them at least homeschool or that the private schools are good. The intergenerational indoctrination is already too late for the newcomers. They’ve been nursed on coveting their neighbors goods for over a hundred years now. Good luck breaking that chain.
I think the illegal Hispanics are starting to understand that whites are not against them personally. We just don’t want our lands overpopulated too quickly, our entitlement systems drained by people who don’t put anytjing into the system, and our educational and healthcare systems overloaded by the mass influx of them. I respect their work ethics, their family values, and religious dedication for the ones that are good, hard working and non-criminals. I see illegals and say hello to them all the time. I understand why they are here. So teir families don’t starve. I can’t fault them for that.
BINGO!!!
But a lot of them will blindly follow her in the main election.
Back to my statement about the Church being silent and blind-historically, the Church has been the driving force in Mexico and all of Latin America since Cortez came on his rape-and-pillage tour in which he and his fellow merry men began the creation of the ethnic group I belong to.
The Church forced conversions, granted-but Catholicism caught on when the priests did what they do best-incorporate parts of the local religion into theirs-like Our Lady of Guadalupe in place of the mother goddess of the Indians-(good thing human sacrifice wasn’t a part they kept)...
The commies leaned on and subverted the church through its priests and bishops to a great extent starting in the early 20th century, wanting to tap into the influence the church had since the late 16th century. For the abortion clinics to close and people to vote socialist officials out of office, the Church will have to grow a titanium set of cojones. I wish the Pope would tell them that, forcefully-hey, I can dream...
And you’re lucky to have family land still. My kin sold up the ‘farm’ in the 30’s and have been teachers, military and the like since then. They’re not tied to the land anymore so it’s easier for them to pull out. The holdup right now is the 90+yr old matriarch. Who refuses to leave. We’ll see what happens when she passes on.
I’m not sure the church will change any more than the current crop of commies and ne’er do wells will just have to die out. Hopefully the new priests will be more able to communicate (and willing!) the whole horror thing of killing your kids for convenience. And some other of those 10 commandments too.
My kin practice more ‘Spanish’ Catholicism, one of my cousins has traced their family tree back to a few conquistadors. She’s happy the Church kept baptismal and marriage records. The matriarch just about had a stroke when vatican II happened. She still wears the traditional head covering to mass. And every day, for decades, she prayed her son would find a nice Catholic girl. Thankfully for her her prayers were answered. Unfortunately the cousin I’m closest too is apostate now. More agnostic than anything. She hasn’t told her mother though, there’s really no point at this late date given mom’s advanced age.
My sibling, most cousins and myself went to Catholic school, 30 miles from the ranch, or wherever my dad was stationed in the military, as did my own kids. And the rural area I live in now is mostly homeschool or one of two Catholic/Christian schools within about 35 miles. The price of a private school education has been dropping pretty drastically the last few years-I guess like the rest of us, they can only make money if people can afford to pay.
The first step in combatting a covetous attitude is to eliminate the mechanism that enables social welfare-as in empty and take away the trough so the hogs will root for their own food-for humans, that means doing hard, and even dirty work like ranch chores, or waiting tables in a local restaurant-most of us have done both and it didn’t hurt us at all-I do construction work and I’m not harmed in any way...
Gus, is that you?

Some of my cousins are the family ranchers-my bro and I tied ourselves to the military early on, as did a lot of other family members-but we all seem to have an aversion to living in the cities.
I liked the image on Faceoff best
Did you know that it is a requirement in Australia that its citizens vote?

Good luck with that bitch!!!
Bon chance my friend. I have mixed feelings about the kin leaving the land of their ancestors. One of the branches of their family has been in that area since the 1700’s.
My family came to Mexico mostly from the Spanish Pyrenees in the late 16th-early 17th centuries, so they had bred with individuals from various tribes of Native Americans by the time they got to what is now S.W Texas, where Basque surnames are quite common, even now-so we are Hispanic/New World Catholic.
My husband’s grandfather was Canadian French, from Quebec, and emigrated to the US. They were traditional French Catholics, and it was very different than what I am used to, but he thought my statue of Lady of Guadalupe, the candles and incense I light there, and my altar with the crucifix, flowers, food and wine for dia de los muertos was weird, too. Same faith, different customs.
The 1700’s is when my family came to what is now SW Texas with their families, stuff and livestock-it was open land then, and no government nearby to screw with you, which was why those people left Spain in the first place...
My cousins have north american indian (my side of the family), south american indian and galician dna. And Irish on their mom’s side. LOL.
The maternal grandmother was from a ‘high class’ family that was from money. Which might explain the difference in Catholic practice wrt tradition.
Any idea where your mtDNA is from?
She can’t run third party for anything in 2014; Texas has a “sore-loser law”.
