The Southwest under Mexican Rule?

Image via Wikipedia

I am going to harp on this just a bit more. Just what is it that some people believe is so great and superior about the Mexican government in comparison to the United States of America that some groups like La Raza and MALDEF want to return the entire southwest back to Mexican rule? Now Mexico may be a great vacation destination and honestly most people I know who are Mexican citizens or of Mexican decent are good, honest people. But Mexico and politics that's different. No thanks.One "export" we seem to be dealing with way too much is drugs, illegal drugs. My local newspaper had this to say about Mexico’s war on drugs:

The most recent official toll of the drug war dead came in mid-June, when the attorney general said 24,800 had died. Valdes did not specify a time frame for the new statistics.
The government does not regularly break down murder statistics, but leading newspapers who kept their own counts say last month was the deadliest yet under Calderon: According to national daily Milenio, 1,234 were killed in July. The Mexican government says most victims were involved in the drug trade.  – Daily Breeze

Now there is also rumor of a multi-million dollar hit out on the famous Sherriff Joe from Arizona! Well, there you go, another fine demonstration of the awesome way things would be if we just let La Raza have its’ way; more killings, more drugs, maybe even the legalization of drugs.  No thank you.


More to come: The Americas...one nation?

La Raza gets its' wish...

OK, just for sake of argument, let's say that La Raza gets their wish, they "re-conquer" the entire tri-state area  (wait that's Professor Dufenshmirtz) I mean the entire Southwest. So, they "re-conquer the entire Southwest and...say here you are Mexico, desfruta! Will Mexico deal with the added responsibilities with the same integrity, fairness and ability to provide jobs that they do now with just Mexico? Will the Mexican government recognize La Raza as a legitimate political  party? Will all the world be set aright and milk and honey flow?

Then, if they do re-conquer the entire Southwest they will have to negotiate with the drug cartels, the Mexican Mafia (or government, it gets a bit confusing who's who), and the infamously corrupt police force. How does La Raza think their wonderful ideals  will be accepted by the Mexican government?  If they do get through all the corruption they will only find a corrupt government battling it out with drug cartels for power?  What will La Raza do when they are not heard then?

Well maybe La Raza has thought this far ahead and plans to appoint leadership and assume control themselves? Control of what? All the empty businesses vacated by non-natives. Just in case you would like a preview of that take a realistic look at Cuba. Where did industry go? The only thing that remained was the fields and a dictator who had no clue how to manage them. Do you think Silicon Valley and all their human resources will just sort of hang in there and hope for the best? What about Toyota and Honda? Not a chance in the world. All non-farmed based businesses will evacuate faster than you can say, "Donde vas?"

Well, I'm just wondering what La Raza really thinks will happen.

Are you for us or against us?

Are you for us or are you against us? Simple question. Simple answer; yes or no.
Can someone be anti-American and be an American? Doesn't that sound...contradictory? It does to me. Yet, what I hear some groups saying sounds a lot like that.

Have you heard of LA RAZA? They are a group that basically doesn't believe in borders and profess anti-imperialism bla bla bla. Throw in some Marxist ideology, blame European whites for all your troubles and call yourself a re-conquistador and there you have it, LA RAZA.

What makes this sort of treasonous spittle dangerous is that it is being forced upon High School students by revisionist History teachers on a daily basis. I have a real problem with this. History teachers should be teaching the History and values of the United States of America, not a group that is set at destroying it. Honestly, I think any teacher that teaches such ideas should have their credentials taken away. I am a teacher and an proud American citizen.

Really, if you don't like America, go someplace else. I'm sure any other country would love to have large groups of anti-imperialist Marxist teachers influencing  their children. I'll bet any Central American or South American country would gladly take them all. If not, maybe Cuba?

Even Tony Blair, the former liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain basically said if immigrants didn't agree with British ideals they were free to go somewhere else. But, here in the USA we have a different form of liberal, the kind where the wife of the President to be wasn't proud to be an American. I am more than a little concerned that this faction has such freedom. As Americans we do have freedom, but not freedom to destroy American ideals from within and teach them to impressionable children.

America, we need to do some house cleaning. More on LA RAZA tomorrow.

What's thine is mine, the liberal way.

Every now and then something happens that just crystallizes a particular idea I have. Yesterday, I had one of those moments.

One of my co-workers is a liberal. She claims to be conservative personally, but, a liberal politically. That is sort of like being on a diet when you are not eating but a glutton when you are eating.

As we are working a "client" enters the room. We are supposed to have all our "clients" sign-in whenever they come by. She looks around for a pen and sees she does not have one. She asks me if I have one. Of course I do, as an ex-construction worker, I know to never come to work without my tools. Apparently she has never been sent back home without pay for not bringing her tools. Anyways, I look for one of my extra ones that I wouldn't mind not receiving back, because of course this is not the first time there has been a pen shortage in the office.  She sees a nice  gel tip pen (which I was reaching for to give her),  points at it and declares, "Give me that one, you have two!" (Spoken with just a bit of attitude like I would be selfish for having thought ahead and brought not one but two pens to work in case one ran out of ink.)

"Spoken like a true liberal." I replied. "I have two, you forgot to bring your own so what is mine is yours because you think you have the right to redistribute my pen wealth. Back in the day we used to call taking something that wasn't yours stealing. How liberal of you."

My colleagues response; her mouth stayed shut (which normally does not), and she closed her eyes because she knew I called it right.

Now, I know it was just a pen, all was said in fun, but, the truth is, liberals do believe they have the right to decide who keeps what. I earn it, you earn it , liberals give it to whom they see fit.

No thanks.  I rather be free to give a pen than have my government steal it from me.

Wrong is wrong not matter what the song!

I keep hearing the same old emotionally charged songs full of gibberish from supporters of illegal immigration. They attach it to womens' rights, to the prejudice felt by many African Americans, to the sad stories of families being torn apart by the separation that would result from deportation for being ILLEGAL.  But, they never address the truth. Illegal is wrong.

Until someone from the "illegals should be legal" camp can tell us why they, just because they look like some of our legal citizens, should be allowed to freely and without any process, that immigrants from other nations go through, enter our great county, I do not want to hear the dumpster loads of emotional blather we hear being propagated by the media.

When will the mainstream media show some real honesty and ask why illegal immigrants should be allowed across the Mexican border and immigrants from Africa and Asia and Europe should bother with following the law?

When is the mainstream media going to have the courage to investigate the La Raza movement? Will they ask the obvious question, would Americans rather be under American laws and protections or  cartels, opps I mean  Mexican protection and laws?

When will judges be held accountable for ruling as if they were above the law?

Wrong is wrong. Illegal is illegal no matter how much you emotionalize it.

Fiorina in and Boxer out!

SACRAMENTO, CA – U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today issued the following statement in response to the Office of Management and Budget report released this afternoon projecting that the federal deficit will hit a record $1.47 trillion this year:

“Today’s report underscores just how deep a pit Barbara Boxer and Washington have dug for the people of this country. Under their watch, unemployment continues to soar, and we now know our federal deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. Still, Boxer remains intent on spending even more of taxpayers’ money and continues to talk about even more earmarks and even more government growth.

“It is painfully clear that Barbara Boxer and her colleagues in Washington have spent far too much of our money – and have no intention of changing direction anytime soon. Americans are already on the hook for billions of dollars in bailouts, and we simply cannot afford another six years of Boxer’s free-spending ways. Barbara Boxer obviously has no intention of making the tough choices necessary to set our nation on a path toward fiscal sanity, which is why we must replace her this November with a senator who will.”

Oh No, It's Antonio

I live in Southern California, in a suburb of Los Angeles. My grandparents bought, lost and bought a home in Los Angeles during the great depression. I  work for the second largest school district in the country, Los Angeles Unified School District. I like to call us, LA Dis-unified.

Recently, the mayor of LA, Antonio Villaraigosa, has made the news quite a bit. Not for the plans he has to bring more business and jobs to LA, which I don't think he has. Not for the brilliant way he has handled the budget crisis which the whole state, country and world is facing. Not for the way he has tried to take over schools and staffing them with overpaid and under experienced people looking for an educational silver bullet.

What I do hear about the mayor is that he is dating a newscaster, not reporting free tickets to local sporting events, showing up for photo ops, and of course, falling off his bike.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is much more concerned about "his" image rather than the strength of his city. Los Angeles needs jobs. Los Angeles needs to be a city that is business friendly. I don't see Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa doing anything to make businesses want to come to LA.


Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has tried to take over LAUSD by planting people on the school board and trying to run several schools. If you want to see childish, immature people "acting" like adults watch a LAUSD board meeting, if  you can stay awake. Look at the "diversity" of staff at the Mayors schools. If that's diverse I am the Prince of Persia. 


Check out Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's work with the LAPD. He cuts overtime and gives millions to "gang prevention mediators" I think they are called. The police I talk to say the mediators are involved in a lot of crimes. But Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa pays them and supplies them with Blackberry phones. 


For me, it's "OH no, Antonio."
