The cops know which side their bread is buttered on, and they have to keep the liberals happy.

I don't know.

From my experience the LEO's are heavily lopsided to the CONSERVERATIVE mindset.

Kudos FRiend! I’m a UNM alum from the days when having Edward Abbey on campus was our biggest excitement. I applaud your action and wish to express my shame at the UNM President’s comments. They are disgraceful and anti-American. He should be replaced by someone who’s read the U.S. Constitution.

Sad to see this.

We are loosing our country. Not to the illegals, but through the petty actions of bureaucrats.

“For God’s sake, New Mexico was part of Mexico at one time,” he said. “There’s tremendous ties, and we have a large population of Hispanics that live in our state and many of them have relatives and connections to Mexico.”

What Mr Schmidly doesn’t understand, or just plain ignores is the fact that the majority of New Mexico’s native Hispanic population refuses to call themselves Mexican Americans. You just might get your a$$ kicked for suggesting that we are Mexican American.
Our culture is the remnants of Spanish colonial culture, heavily influenced by the Pueblo Indian culture. There is no love lost between hispanic New Mexicans and Mexico. Once Mexico gained independance from Spain, she left New Mexicans to fend for themselves against Apache, Navajo and Commanche raiding parties. There was little to no resistance when the US invaded New Mexico, in fact there was massive collaboration with US troops.
Hispanic New Mexicans have a long history of military service to this great country, many have paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is a beautifull testament to this at Angel Fire where the New Mexico Viet Nam Memorial is located.
The other thing this moron university president fails to aknowledge is the fact that there is great resentment and tension between the native hispanic population and the illegal Mexican nationals. I witnessed this first hand when I went home for Labor Day weekend. Neither side likes the other very much, and things could boil over soon.

Half of my new novel takes place in NM, a lot of it in Albuquerque, and there are even some scenes on the UNM.

Welcome aboard. You did the right thing, of course if you had ripped down the American Flag you would be a hero to these folks. If they love their 3rd world hellhole of a homeland so much, why don’t they go back?

The University won’t tolerate that kind of behavior, President David Schmidly said.

“It’s inexcusable to desecrate a flag,” he said. “I’m not going to be very pleasant to deal with on this issue.”

What makes the situation worse is that it was a Mexican flag, Schmidly said.

“For God’s sake, New Mexico was part of Mexico at one time,” he said. “There’s tremendous ties, and we have a large population of Hispanics that live in our state and many of them have relatives and connections to Mexico.”

This a-hole could give Columbia's Bollinger a run-for-the-money!

>>>,i>Whether the vandalism was racially motivated or not, it was offensive, especially to the Hispanic community, Martinez-Purson said<<<

With all due respect Ms. Martinez-Purson, the Hispanic community is several miles to your South, across the border. You are residing in an American community.

Get used to it....or go to the Hispanic community.

The “University Near Mom” has been a toilet of PC oppression for some time now, and as you can see, it has been infiltrated by La Raza. Considering the demographics in New Mexico, that’s shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

“For God’s sake, New Mexico was part of Mexico at one time,” he said. “There’s tremendous ties, and we have a large population of Hispanics that live in our state and many of them have relatives and connections to Mexico.”

I wonder if University President Schmidly would have the same attitude about flying the Confederate Flag in any Southern State? I guess the Alamo and Golidad were justified killings to him.

Mr. Lynch - you are true patriot, its time we hold the mirror up to the diversity pimps on these campuses. They have no allegiance to America or our constitution. I believe that you could start a larger movement if you so desire. Let us know if there is a way we can contribute to a fund to support any legal action that you may take.
