Happy Cinco De Mayo! Shoot the Mexican Hordes! [/sarcasm, This is the Actual Title]
Reason Magazine's Hit and Run ^ | 5/5/05 | Matt Welch

Thanks to the open invitation from the possibly former illegal immigrant Arnold Schwarzenegger, those lovable Minutemen are now trickling into the Golden State to defend our deserts. One of my favorite things about the anti-reconquista brigades, besides a brooding paranoia that recalls the best of mid-'70s cinema, is how they can barely complete a sentence without insisting they're not racist. Here's the first lines from Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado), the Lou Dobbs of the House of Representatives, writing in a special L.A. Times opinion section on immigration:

People who say it's racist to want secure borders are insulting the intelligence of the American people, and such charges betray an empty arsenal of serious arguments.

Of course, his opponents aren't saying it's "racist to want secure borders" (because of course it's not); we're just saying, and probably not often enough, that the secure-borders crowd includes many who are rather peculiarly obsessed with the devilish nature of The Other...

Rec'd this via email this a.m.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning which they still observe to this day, and is known of course as "Sinko de Mayo"

This is my suggestion on another thread,

You could have a big Cinco de Mayo bus trip for the illegals to get their amnesty forms. Once they are on the bus pull a switcheroo and drive them back across the border.

This lib dork would rather call people names than deal with the reasons those people are concerned about illegal aliens.

Libertarians: in the conservative family, they must be our divorced Uncle Stan living in a CA condo--Corvette owner, toupee-wearer and all around wild-and-crazy guy.

This whole immigration issue will turn on a dime once some Mexican or South American gang bangers use some MANPADS in the US.

Every night I thank God that I was given wisdom enough to understand that Libertarianism is absolute idiocy. Libertarians are not conservative in any way and would turn our nation over to those who seek it's destruction just as quickly as liberals, and all the time with a big, brain-damaged grin on their faces as they giggle,"Maybe my country is destroyed, but I still have my ding-dong philosophy to protect me."
