I've never posted a new thread before and was going to put this with Santa Ana but now there are details so I think it needs it's own thread.
Reports for help from all police to respond to Vista, California for unrest related to the immigration protests.
I'd been hearing sirens racing north on 15 for over the last 50 minutes and was trying to find out what was going on, as after hearing and seeing groups of 2-6 patrol cars racing up the freeway sirens wailing every 4-8 minutes made it apparent something was going on.
Post 722.. Jeff I think you have the right map here.
funny sign.. they think that we can not make burritos?
I don't understand why you're targeting 2001, we passed the Proposition in 1994. And Pfaelzer's decision would have been reviewed by a 3 judge federal appeals court, not the supremes.
Pfaelzer and Davis didn't share your confidence that higher courts would back her decision, otherwise they wouldn't have entered into their little subversion of the electorate. They simply would have let the appeals court validate her decision. They deliberately prevented this review process from proceeding.
I would like to believe that there will be a massive backlash by Americans against this stuff. However, I just don't see it happening. Most Americans are too apathetic to do anything. Millions of Americans will still party on cinco de mayo, millions of Americans will still vacation in Mexico this summer, millions of Americans will still go about their lives oblivious to what is happening. The only way I see most Americans come to the realization that we are in fact being invaded, with increasing violence, is when it's too late to actually do anything meaningful about it; when it directly affects THEM. It will take alot more than just the likes of us who come to sites like this to stop the invasion. Those who don't follow and understand current events are far too concerned with who the next American Idol is going to be to be bothered with anything that will require some sacrifice and effort. Add to this a ruling political class that ignores or sidesteps the issue, and you have a recipe for a future calamity.
Bottom line, Americans, for the most part, have become way too complacent and are firmly entrenched in the "it can't happen here, so why worry about it" mentality. Decades of apathy is not easily shed, because apathy is easy.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just trying to tell it like it is. Now the question is what, if anything, can be done about it.
Of course, I may be wrong (wouldn't be the first time), and I hope I am.
how about a big burrito sticking out from the back? that would add to the "flavor" of the march
I didn't actually see a man pass money to the person giving him the sign, but the news I was watching showed a big barrel with money in it and said that was for people to contribute. I wondered what they were contributing to, so it probably was for the cost of ALL the professional signs.
One of the sponsers was UNITE HERE which is a service union and you know you must pay union dues. :-)
You mean Drudge can't tell a PHOTO SHOPPED picture. Look at the guys arm. It is obvious it is stuck in there from somewhere else.
LOL!! We ought well note that burritos, too, come with 'afterburners'.
Besides the Title on the headlines page.
My headlines page indicate the number of replies but not views. Is there a preference setting that allows for this option?
I bought tomatoes grown in the U.S.A. on May 1.
Bought a bunch of other stuff made in U.S.A. on May 1.
No "hecho in Mexico" til the end of the year at least now.
Also have continue my effort to greatly reduce "made in China" buying. "Do I really need this?"
"Do I really want to send them money to buy oil on the world market and drive up our gasoline prices?
10:00PM --- booze is kicking in, huh?
Siesta's Over!
cant win for losing...
if you eat out, you're funneling money to illegals, and foreign countries (produce)
if you find place that is "local" they are probably "organic" as well...and they probably have an uber liberal owner
