Yes, technically you're correct. As a practical matter, I don't think separating ethnic bigotry from racism means a whole lot, except to scientists.

The judge who tried to convict Pinochet was Hispanic. I don't see how the sentence is race-baiting if it refers to a real possibility rather than a conjured bogeyman.

You might think it's not a real possibility and ridiculous, but leftists all over the world don't think so at all, and our next Democrat president will resign the ICC treaty.

"In case you didn't know Anglos and Hispanics are members of the same race."

Depends on where you are referring to. Hispanics as in from Hispania (modern portugal and spain) are caucasian with a fair amount of Moorish blood mixed in. This brand of hispanic is a miniscule % of the spanish-speaking population in the US.

Hispanics from the western hemisphere, however, have a varied genetic makeup. Some places, like Colombia and Argentina, have moderate to large parts of the population being of nearly pure european blood. Others are more mixed, and some are almost entirely composed of people of a very high % indian genetic makeup (peru, bolivia, to name a couple. Though it be incorrectly, the term hispanic is used to describe all of these groups. From the context, it appears likely that the author meant Hispanic president as in a president of the US (also possibly of a south or central american country) who is a hispanic i.e. from south or central america, so no, a Hispanic is very possibly more asian (reference - american indian DNA derives mainly from some place in east china) than european in his genetic background.

There is some really slimy stuff in this article.

But they are right about the Pinochet precedent, and they are also right that Tony Blair brought it on himself, since he has always been a socialist NWO supporter.

"It is fairly certain that the Blair government is not going to hand over Blair to the Greeks or to the ICC. If it did, Bush would send in the Special Forces to rescue him."

Cool idea but a bit of hyperbole considering I cant see the British SAS sitting by and allowing such a thing to happen, regardless of what British officials tried to hand him over.

It would make for a great collision between the left & right.

BTW: "Special Forces" are Green Berets. I'm sure they'd be used for actual recon and even part of covering any exfiltration but Delta would probably be tasked with such a mission. Unless of course we wanted to just roll an armoured division in and take Blair out by sheer force as opposed to speed & surprise.

It couldn't be more clear that the ICC and the UN are orgs whose time has come and gone. The ICC was destined to become one big sink hole of blithering idiosity. Now here it is in all it's glory. I suggest we call a general session with all ICC dignitaries in attendance and accidently drop a MOAB on it.

Fine, stand by it then. He could have made the point that the US might become a signatory party to the ICC in the future without bringing race or ethnic origin into it. He did so, rather emphatically and in article that had no racial overtones until his last zinger.

In 1998, it did not occur to Blair that five years later he would be roped into invading Iraq on trumped-up charges that it was a hotbed of al-Qaeda terrorists equipped with weapons of mass destruction.
Straw man arguement. No one claimed that Iraq had already given Al Quada weapons. On the other hand it has been established that Iraq hosted and aided terrorists and developed WMDs.
Evidently, isolationism blinds.

Native Mexicans are classified as a subset of European Caucasoids.

The statistical influence of mongoloid migration is limited to the upper half of North America.

You, and many others are falling prey to the perverse alteration, within the last 30 years, of the term "race" by the politically motivated, liberal elite.

These same liberals are now trying to extend the legal definition of "racial discrimination" to all forms of bigotry except gender and I'm not so sure gender won't soon be included to further their traditional pursuit of pitting one group against another.

He's obviously worried that our open border policies will result in the election of a Hispanic preident once Hispanics become the majority in this country. How much do you want to bet that Hispanic president will be a Democrat?

Do you support multiculturalism and open borders?

10,000 is a little bit less than the toll in Argentina...
Last I heard at least 30,000 "disappeared" while Pinochet
was in power.

International Criminal Court / World Health Organization / United Nations------'They' are not going to be happy until 'they' have control of the entire planet in each and every way.

Is there a Universal Dietary Committee yet?

How much do you want to bet that Hispanic president will be a Democrat?

Based on California's current demographics, 83% of Hispanics are of Mexican ancestory.

Based on the voting record of California's Hispanics the first Hispanic governor is more likely to be a moderate Republican than a liberal Democrat.

Based of their conservative traditions, once Hispanics become a unified political majority in California they will abandon the Democratic Party. Since the Democratic party tends to be a collection of single issue special interest groups it's usefulness will no longer be needed to meet the needs of the "Hispanic community".

That's a subject for a different thread (where I'll be happy to discuss it with you). It has nothing to do with the ICC and Tony Blair, which was my whole damn point to begin with.

People who insist in bringing illegal immigration or cultural purity into every subject, no matter how unrelated, have a real problem with focus.

Maybe this will serve as a wake up call for Tony Blair and convince him that blending into the U.N. will be the death of England

I'll believe it when I see it.

Mexican Americans should lean conservative, but they don't. They have been sucked into the racist political agenda of the Democratic party. Many more Mexicans are going to come here before we elect a Hispanic president, and while assimilated Mexican Americans may have conservative values, native Mexicans and new arrivals are overwhelmingly Anti-American.
