What’s The Over & Under On A Latino Party?
by Bucktowndusty
I'm betting that by 2012, there will be calls for a Latino party amongst Democratic Latino leaders such as Representative Luis Guiterrez of Illinois and Joe Baca of California.
Latino leaders simply don't want to assimilate. Why should they; the people they represent don't want to either. They simply possess too much machismo and ethnic pride – the same lack of which that causes white leaders to fear expressing any of their own.
I never imagined that my own language – MY OWN LANGUAGE – would be offensive to other Americans.
I never imagined that United States Representatives such as Nancy Pelosi would oppose bills that protect businesses from the EEOC, an apparatus that sues companies like the Salvation Army for trying to implement an English only policies within their organizations.
I never imagined that people living in states 1000-miles-away from Mexico would have trouble finding work because they don't speak Spanish.
I never imagined that one day I'd arrive at work, learn that a local radio station went Spanish, and listen to my Latino co-workers say, "See, we're taking over." Taking over!
I never imagined that my hometown would become an unrecognizable foreign land filled with foreign language speakers in a short 10-year span. Only 10 years!
But, as I said; having seen what I've seen and witnessed how current events are unfolding, I can definitely imagine a Latino party arising.
I wonder how well they will represent my white ass, or the asses of my black friends.
I think just by reading their party name will give me my answer.

Go North Young Man

The hole in our southern border is still there, but apparently not all of those sneaking into the United States are, "hard working people who just want a better life for themselves and their families." To the contrary, some have continued on to Canada where the benefits and work conditions are more acceptable to those just looking for an easier life for themselves and their families.
Last weeks news featured a man, in a new pickup truck, who missed his turnoff in the U.S. and didn’t stop until he parked his new pickup truck in Canada. He sorrowed that conditions were too hard in the United States so he continued on to Canada where he heard that they accepted illegal trespassers without question.
A new pickup truck? In the first place, how would an illegal go about registering and tagging a vehicle in the United States?
Anyways, what horrible conditions exist in Mexico that make all of its people want to leave that country? For Christ’s sake, their oil revenue alone should make the country rich. I suggest that the United Nations investigate the reasons for the mass exodus of Mexican citizens from their own country.
Meanwhile, the hole in our southern border lets millions of illegal aliens flood into this country and Congress does nothing about it.
Think of our southern border as a boat with a hole in its bottom where water is pouring in. Republicans want to shove the water back through the hole and Democrats want to use the water to clean the boat.
Unless we throw the idiots manning our boat overboard, our boat will surly sink.
