OUTRAGE: Feds Spend $1.6 Million to Restore "La Raza" Murals Celebrating "Aztlan", Che Guevara

Stand With Arizona

On the heels of victory against the racist "La Raza" ethnic studies program in Tucson, Arizona, this shocking item from San Diego shows how far we have yet to go to defund La Raza and its divisive, anti-American influence in America.

At a time of record debt, rampant unemployment, and a financially strained citizenry - our Federal government somehow can afford a whopping $1,600,000 to restore "Chicano" murals depicting communist butchers Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, and with maps featuring "Aztlan" - the mythical "nation" that La Raza activists demand be taken from the United States to create a new ethnically-pure proto-Mexican state.

The funds are being provided by the Department of Transportation and is called a "federal transportation enhancement" (as if there are no unsafe bridges across America that could use the funds!)

The murals begun as Mexican nationalist graffiti in the 1970s. The graffiti was first painted on highway underpasses in an attempt to stop the construction of a California Highway Patrol office there. Activists proclaimed the area a "Chicano park" and appeasing leaders - fearing violence - "negotiated" with activists to keep the murals and cancel the police station.

The Federal money will pay to restore 18 panels. 9 have been restored so far. Funding was first approved in 2002, but (wiesely) held up because of the frequent mention of the racist "Aztlan". But with Obama and his La Raza sidekicks Hilda Solis and Cecilia Muñoz in power, the funding is now going ahead full steam. Here are some selections:

Above: One panel depicting the mythical "Aztlan", carving up nearly half of America into land that Chicano activists claim was "stolen" from Mexico. Also a lovely image of naked, armed woman and some creepy 'baby' with severed arm holding a machete.

Check this clearly COMMUNIST DRIVEL being painted up there in San Dieto, on Obama Administration federal tax dollars!

"Camarillo said she's paying close attention as her friends come back to paint. "It's really amazing. I've learned so much," she said. "Because though I was here, I've been here since day one, I wasn't actually standing there with the artists and watching them paint back then. It was just, you know, happening, and 'Yeah, that's cool.'" It's a complicated thing to invite artists with four more decades of experience under their belts to revisit work they made in their youth. Should the artist just repaint the same lines he painted in the 1970s, or bring to the table new techniques, new colors? The new Chicano Park could look significantly brighter and more modern than the old one as the restoration continues. The mural called "Mujer Cosmica" is a good example. The 1975 version features a woman painted white in the center with words and phrases like "ALLENDE" and "VENCEREMOS" written in capital letters all over her arms, legs and torso. But the newly painted version includes other words and phrases in a more modern scripted tattoo style, phrases like "BARRIO LOGAN SI SE PUEDE" and "VIVA LA RAZA." In place of "AMOUR" on her chest is the word "LIBERTAD." The new version fleshes out the color and shading of her skin and the background, retaining the original concept but appearing quite different."

Note. Salvador ALLENDE, the MARXIST leader of Chile who was ousted in a patriotic coup in 1970. And "Venceremos", the battle cry of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, taken up by the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and Hugo Chavez' Socialist United Party of Venezuela.

Enemy within folks. Enemy within.

In fact, the phrase "Viva La Raza" could be construed as a federal hate crime, as it is racist in nature, and yet is federally funded. There would be a clause I am sure to prohibit this. This would be like the Feds financing a Klan mural in Louisiana saying "White Power!"

JUST ADD IT TO THE LIST OF BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAT OMUSLIM HAS THROWN AWAY WHILE THREATENING TO WITHOUT SENIOR’S SS AND GUTTING THE MILITARY:

Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/... #

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.
http://exchanges.state.gov/media/pdfs/office-...

And THAT’S just the tip of the iceberg.
THIS will blow your mind!!

They should have 2010 up, but they don’t. That’s where you’ll find Obama’s largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.

Thanks for the list.

Unfortunately it's not just Obama blowing tax payer $$.

In addition to enabling Jihadis, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on:

Anchor babies, illegals, new immigrants, and their respective extended families,
 (illegals alone cost $1/4 - $1/3 trillion NET per year; low skill immigrants cost ~$ 20,000 Net per household)
Fixing up ramshackle Mexican trucks that will put Americans out of work,
Sponsoring green technology overseas,
Paying college tuition for students from China ($ 8 billion per year),
Setting up CDC labs overseas,
Paying for post doctoral degrees for Indian scientists,
Billions in tax credits for illegals from the IRS,
Hiring foreign workers for Oregon Forestry companies under TARP,

The entire Department of Education ($ 71,333,000,000),
The entire Department of Housing and Urban Development ($ 46,277,000,000),
International Assistance Programs ($ 25,502,000,000),
The entire Department of Energy ($ 34,215,000,000),
Blatant fraud in Medicare and Medicaid ($ 900 billion) which IBM offered to fix for free

“Rick Perry’s fault.”

You beat me to it. Guys, gals, let’s stop all of this criticism. Admit that you just don’t like the sound of their last name. You heartless bigots, you.

My friend Bob Lizarraga with whom I worked on many comix stories does NOT consider these crappy Graffiti pieces to be good art and he is Mexican-American. You want to see great art then take a peek at Bob Lizarraga's ART. I really like his portrait of Rodney Dangerfield.

I can fix that mural real good, and I’d do it for free.

Not to worry.
I'm sure hundreds of patriots are ready to do what is necessary at the first opportunity.
Unless they can transport the murals to Mexico for safekeeping.
