Not to many people know about César Chávez’s conservative views. Good info for debating a liberal on this man.

I think most here know that he was no fan of open borders.

When Chavez was running the grape boycott, Young Americans for Freedom used to buy grapes and stand outside supermarkets putting them in people’s grocery bags. Nice, effective, visual.

One more reason that we need to revitalize YAF — it drove lefties crazy.

When is Hollywood going to do a George Washington triology?

It can encompass three parts - (1) Young George Washington from birth up to the French and Indian War, (2) Washington during the American Revolution, and (3) Washington as President up until his death.

Such a trilogy would easily gross a billion dollars.

Kinda ironic isn’t it. Chavez was against illegal immigration and Richard Trumpka is all for it. ?????

After his training with Alinski, Cesar’s work was trying to organize Filipino farm workers in Oxnard, California. The Mexican farm workers were willing to work for less, so they were cutting into his action. Most of his “conservative” rhetoric came during that period. About 15 years ago, the city of Oxnard decided to “honor its Latino population” by making Cesar’s birthday a paid holiday for city employees. It seemed a little odd to honor a guy who spent a lot of time trying to get Mexicans sent back to Mexico, but to the Oxnard City Council, the myth was more important than the truth.

Chavez has been beatified to sainthood by the liberals. Anyone who dare tell the truth about Chavez will be burned at the stake. Chavez was nothing moren than a money hungry thug nsulated by a media that worshipped him. I had friends in Kerman (Fresno Area) at the time. Chavez sent his goons to beat up the field hands ( on temporary work visas from Mexico) and threaten the farm owner. Chavez and his crew went ballistic when the farmer plowed the crops under. Chavez hated the Mexicans unless they were in his gang. Now, his name adorns every street and school where crime is rampant and the full failure of liberalism is on display.

I was surprised he was born in America. I thought he was an illegal alien. Surprised me when I saw the trailer at the movies last week.

My F-I-L was a Human Resources Director for one of the big Growers in CA way back when.

He and Cesar Chavez hated each other with a passion. I think my F-I-L still hates his worm infested guts today.

I’ll have to get his take on how the Hollywood Liberals push Cesar into Sainthood with this Movie, but I doubt I will be able to get my F-I-L to see a moment of it.

Funny, I believe both he and Chavez served in the U.S. Navy.

Neither was Rep Barbara Jordan in favor of amnesty and the media traitors ignore her too. NumbersUSA uses her policy statement that immigration policy should be based upon our national interests, is on their home page.

He felt that illegals undermined his efforts to forcibly unionize farm workers. Apparently he helped those that were already here but wanted to stop more coming in.

Many in Mexico’s far left see their citizens leaving en masse as a matter of national pride.

The bigger issue is the actor who portrays Chavez, Michael Pena.

Check into his background and his affiliation with a “group” that at the present treats its staff worse than the pre-Chavez farmworkers! Hypocricy?
