1) Her name is Gloria Navarro, not Ana. I'm older now and I was using the name of the Cuban activist, who is a political right winger. Gotta stop working from memory exclusively...
2) "She is as fully an American as you are". Nope. That's the crap that Raul Grijalva and his Aztlanista Reconquistadores have been trying to get me to say since oh...about 1971. Ain't true. Other then my Orange Irish grandmother, my families go back to well before the Revolution. 10 generations on Dad's side, 13 on Mom's. Belittle that all you want, but the point for me and my kids is: we got nowhere but here. We don't have the country next door to escape to. And we don't want it to look like "there", or for us to be ruled by them. Her allegiance is obviously still to them, doesn't matter that she was born here. It might have been different if a human tidal wave from the failed thugocracies of South America hadn't rolled over us. But it did, and it is now the central issue for the continued existence of the United States.
And you still don't seem to have learned the point about nationality: it ain't the same as Race, so stick your racism comment right back where the sun don't shine. "Hispanic" is not a race, it's a linguistic cohort. Lotsa blue eyed blondes in Spain, have been for thousands of years.
"Judge" Navarro was put on the bench precisely because she's a descendant of Los Conquistadors. Nixon screwed that up in '70 when he added them to the list of Protected Classes (How Richard Nixon Invented Hispanics) . There is absolutely NO reason the descendants of former enemy nations should have their very own Affirmative Action compartment - what's next, Protected Status for Bolsheviks? We already know that the Democrat party is trying to make "Undocumented Alien" a protected class.
Would have been unthinkable in 1980, much less 1950.
Navarro by her associations, actions, rhetoric and history has shown her prejudices, and unfortunately now has the power to wreak vengeance for her people's losses in their never ending war against us. Which is why I say she's an alien and a foreigner: it's about loyalty. It's obscene that she can stand in judgement of any American.
You lived in Tucson since 1971? That's nice. I can tell you that in 1960, Spanish was not only unheard, it was considered rude to speak it in public. The fact that at one point in history it had been Spanish land - because the Pope said so! - was considered a historical artifact, nothing more. Up until the '70s, it was 90% "non-hispanic" white as we are called now. And the other 10% were under heavy pressure to assimilate. There was only one small paper that was in Spanish and one radio station. The Alianza had long since disappeared, although it resurrected as the National Council of La Raza (which does mean "the race", no matter how much Janet Murguia wants to dissemble about it). Even South Tucson only had a few Spanish signs. I remember seeing the first one about 1973 - I was shocked. In America? You can't do that!
But they did and they will. For them, conquest is about never giving up - why do you think every other ethnicity dropped their language and learned English, and why do you think that to this day, they fight relentlessly to get TUSD to teach everything in Spanish?
IT IS A WAR to them. Maybe they haven't got the weapons we have, but they have patience and our weaknesses to exploit. I mean, can you point to any WASP judges in Mexico? Any special treatment in law? It's to laugh. Not no, but hell no.
Not surprising. They don't want to be judged by us. And vice versa.
Hate to break it to you, but you don’t need to be a WASP - White, Anglo_Saxon Protestant - to be a good American. Shame you think otherwise. Shame you spew your views here.
