Left Shows Intolerance Over Immigration
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 5/18/2010 | Ed Carson

Posted on 05/18/2010 8:04:07 AM PDT by Slyscribe

Many people on the left believe that they are tolerant because they are pro-choice, favor gay marriage and are generally socially liberal. But that is not tolerance. Tolerance is putting up with viewpoints and behavior that you don’t agree with. Liberals and leftists have a very hard time with that. For the second time in two years, agreeing with a majority of Americans is verboten at the Miss USA beauty pageant. In 2009, Carrie Prejean

The left uses Newspeak. What they call tolerance isn’t what the rest of us know as tolerance.

The Puppet Master, Soros’ idol explains why they can use force to push their version of tolerance on us:

If we engage in a “tolerance” war, we’re playing into their wheelhouse, and we’re going to lose. Don’t fight on their turf. Highlight right and wrong, not “tolerance”.

They certainly are intolerant of those who support border security.

We have not gotten into this damn mess without the fault of the left ram rodding every damn thing they want upon the rest of us and the right sitting around with their fingers up their asses!

The left wouldn't be running things today if the right had been as intolerant of the left's nonsense as we should have been back in the day.

I remember thinking - back in the late 60s, early to mid 70s that this cr*p won't work and logical people won't take it seriously. I was wrong, because I didn't take into account how it was being promoted. The left agenda was sold by making the public feel guilty enough to put their common sense on hold and it has been maintained by dumbing down our children and grandchildren.

The left understands this which is why they have tagged normal reactions or opinions with names like right wing extremism etc. since back in the 60s.

I vote for the “right vs wrong” AND Unity vs. diversity. One America United, like the founders wrote it down.

“I didn’t take into account how it was being promoted”....

That is the exact problem....It’s promoted in newspapers, on t.v., movies and in our schools. I think if most parents knew what was being taught to their kids they would croak!

Why shouldn't the left be tolerant of open borders? In the case of the Mexican border and Mexicans, this is only consistent with the tolerance they've had, for years, for Palestinian territorial claims against Israel.

You ask how so?

According to a Zogby poll of Mexican citizens (LINK):

Do you agree or disagree that the territory of the U.S. Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico?
Agree: 58 percent
Disagree: 28 percent <= *
Not sure: 14 percent

Do you agree or disagree that Mexicans should have the right to enter the United States without U.S. permission?
Agree: 57 percent
Disagree: 35 percent <= *
Not sure: 7 percent

*This means only 1/3 of Mexicans do NOT believe that the Mexican government should rule the U.S. Southwest and that Mexican should NOT enter as they please.

And the Mexican governments has been led by those who make similar claims:

In 2007, Felipe Calderon, president of Mexico, denounced "unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government " against Mexicans illegally in the U.S. and declared: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

In 2004, Vicente Fox, then president of Mexico, stated: "We are Mexicans that live in our territories and we are Mexicans that live in other territories. In reality, we are 120 million people that live together and are working together to construct a nation."

In 1998, Jose Pescador Osuna, then-consul general of Mexico, admitted: "We are practicing La Reconquista in California."

In 1997, Ernesto Zedillo, then president of Mexico, proclaimed: "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of it."

Sounds to me like the Mexican government has been waging a non-military war against the U.S., with territory as its aim and illegals as its army.

Those in the Aztlan movement have already cited the Palestinian movement as their inspiration. Give a little more time to leftist tolerance and the U.S. WILL SEE ITS OWN INTIFADA IN ITS BORDER STATES!

Liberals are proud of being "tolerant" of themselves.

They are sooooooo stupid.

It would be like us bragging about our great tolerance of gun owners. Or how wonderful we are for being tolerant of tea party members.

Effing idiots.

Sounds like the Mexican government has been waging a non-military war against the US, with the aim of claiming territory, and exporting masses of illegals as its invading army. Those in the Aztlan movement cite the Mideast as their inspiration.

In 2007, Felipe Calderon, president of Mexico, denounced "unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government " against Mexicans illegally in the US and declared: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." In 2004, Vicente Fox, then president of Mexico, stated: "We are Mexicans that live in our territories and we are Mexicans that live in other territories.

THIS JUST IN Mexico's Calderon to protest Arizona law to Obama
Optionetics - Market News | By Catherine Bremer and Adriana Barrera
FR Posted May 14 by Natural Born 54

MEXICO CITY, May 13 (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon will protest to Pres Barack Obama when he comes to Washington next week about Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants, Calderon told Reuters. Calderon said a law that will come into force in Arizona in July, requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the United States illegally, was already affecting relations between the two neighbors. "It contains elements that are frankly discriminatory, terribly backward," Calderon told Reuters in an interview.

Calderon He said he would bring Mexico's protest over the law to a meeting with Obama and when he addresses the US Congress during an official visit to Washington next week. (Excerpt) Read more at optionetics.com ...

“Cuba Si!—Arizona No! “ Says Mexican President Felipe Calderon

EXCERPT Mexican President Felipe Calderon can hardly contain his revulsion and rage against Arizona’s law--SB 1070. He’s "deeply troubled" reports the Associated Press over a law he denounces as "discriminatory and racist," not to mention “a dire threat to the whole Hispanic-American population." This new Arizona law "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement," sputters the Mexican President.

=====================================

Indeed, this “threat to Hispanics” and these “abuses in law enforcement," have been ongoing for years.

The Associated Press carried a story where a Maria Elena Gonzalez, reported how female migrants were “forced to strip by abusive police officers, supposedly to search them, but the purpose is to sexually abuse them." Jose Ramos, 18, reported “that extortion by border police occurs at every stop on their migratory route. Until migrants are left penniless and begging for food.”

According to AP: “Others said they had seen migrants beaten to death by police, their bodies left near the railway tracks to make it look as if they had fallen from a train.

"If you're carrying any money, they take it from you," said Carlos Lopez. "Federal, state, local police--all of them shake you down. If you're on a bus, they pull you off and search your pockets, and if you have any money, they keep it all and say, get out of here.” Police shake down motorists on bogus traffic stops so regularly it is like going through a toll - money paid right there on the spot or your car gets impounded.

All of the above “hate” and “abuses in law enforcement” as reported by the Associated Press, befell Central American migrants who enter Mexico. (Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com

Get outta my country, Calderon----we spit on you, your countrymen, and your ambitions to undermine US security via Azatlan.
