BANNING THE FLAG (demand schools teach united America's greatness--not multicultural garbage)

NY POST ^ | April 6, 2006 | ARNOLD AHLERT

[Liz]

In Colorado, one middle school has banned "patriotic" clothing - while a high school has banned the flying of the American flag.

Why?

To "diffuse tensions" over the "immigration issue."

It's time for American schools to once again teach students about the greatness of America - instead of the multicultural garbage..........People from other "equally viable" countries and cultures are storming our borders by the millions.

That would suggest we have something better going on here.

Yet in the last few decades, American patriotism has been attacked by those who insist that believing this is the greatest country in the world is "jingoistic."

The "celebrate our differences" crowd prefers an America made up of separatist sub-groups - each with a unique set of demands and grievances which must be satisfied in order to "diffuse tensions."

We've accommodated that worldview long enough.

[Liz]

This is the United States of America. And we want it to stay united.

These craven vote-hungry politicans doing the Hyphenate-Fellate are threatening our country's unity and have balkanized the nation into competing hyphenated groups, each vying to extort as many tax-paid benefits as possible in exchange for votes.

The hyphenate con game must come to an end.

Ban all hyphenates.

Real Americans do not use hyphens.

It will be over once everyone is like California. I live there...give us twenty years w/out change. That will be it.

Yet in the last few decades, American patriotism has been attacked by those who insist that believing this is the greatest country in the world is "jingoistic."

There are some on this forum who have accused many others of being "jingoistic" when wanting to preserve America and her traditions. (Look at any Dubai Ports thread)

America will die as a nation if we don't turn this current illegal pandering off and take back our country. It is sad and I am getting close to desperate about the future of my two young sons.

People have already told me to start teaching them spanish so they can get ahead in their future. I would rather die fighting than teach them spanish.

[Liz]

You are on solid, legal ground.

Here's the deal:

The Mexican government wants veto power over U.S. immigration policy. Outrageously, many in our own government are assuming the Hyphenate-Fellate position and are only too happy to oblige, as long as there's votes and campaign contributions to be had.

The protestors--carrying Mexican flags---and the Mexican government share the same goals: legalize Mexican illegal aliens and keep the borders open. The Mexican government sees this as a way to relieve economic pressure on their government to reform the economy. Mexico's leaders also work to retain the loyalty of the immigrant mobs so that, even if our laws allow them to become American citizens, they retain their loyalty to Mexico, and are subjects of the Mexican government.

In the Mexican Congress, it was recently announced that a document would be drafted, to show support for the protest marches in our country. The Mexican government published advertisements in leading American newspapers calling for the legalization of illegal immigrants (those in the United States, not in Mexico) and "a far-reaching guest workers scheme." Not only that, said the ads, but "in order for a US guest workers program to be viable, Mexico should participate in its design, management, supervision and evaluation."


Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, made this statement to support the marches: "The recent orotests carried out in different places in the United States are indicative of the imminent necessity of a migratory accord that corresponds to the interests of both countries, and that especially to the defense of the rights of migrants. The government of the (Mexican) Republic ratifies its commitment to the Mexicans who live in the United States and its intention to work in the defense of their rights ..."

EXHIBIT ONE: This is a direct violation of the Vienna Convention that prohbits foreign nationals from interferring in the political affairs of a host country. The Department of State‘s legal affairs office has stated that foreigners on American soil interfering in the internal affairs of the US is inconsistent with the 1963 Vienna Convention that prohibits visiting foreigners from interferring in the affairs of host countries.


EXHIBIT TWO: Congress provided in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 declaring persons born in the US who are subject to a foreign power are deemed to be non-citizens of the United States. That means children of immigrants---anchor babies---and any other individuals born here---who are running around carrying Mexican flags, and following the orders of the Mexican government, are not considered US citizens under the 1866 US Civil Rights law.

I e-mailed that hyphenate-fellate Lieberman on this issue. He sent me an e-mail back fully supporting McCain-Kennedy (a match made in hell) in their attempts at patronizing these illegals. There is not much else I can do except take to the streets. I wish I could.

America will die as a nation if we don't turn this current illegal pandering off and take back our country. It is sad and I am getting close to desperate about the future of my two young sons.

Two words?

You're right.

We live in America, blast it- not some third-world pesthole.

I've been psuedo-blogging the Illegal Alien issue, seemingly forever, here:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

In my opinion, that is one element of the Fourth World War we are engaged in.

The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

God help us, we are going to need everything we have to survive this ordeal intact.

Backhoe, thanks for all of your archives. I have used it many times to find references.

I am at my wits end on this issue.

[DustyMoment]

It's time for American schools to once again teach students about the greatness of America - instead of the multicultural garbage . . .

Given the arrogant "Who-gives-a-damn-what-the-American-taxpayers-think" attitude of our President, Congress, and the MSM, I think that horse done got out the corral. No point trying to close the gate now.

The illegal immigration issue hides a disturbing fact, the racism and ethic cleansing in Mexico of its indigenous people.

There really are two kinds of Mexicans, those descending from the Spanish and those descending from the native Indians (Amerindian). The descendants of the Spanish have always thought of themselves as superior to the Amerindian. That meets the definition of racism.

Mexico does not allow immigration across its southern border, while encouraging and facilitating the migration of its Indians north. The forced expulsion of Mexico's citizens meets the definition of ethnic cleansing.

According to the CIA World Factbook, the population of Mexico is 106,202,903 (July 2005 est.). With 12,000,000 or 11% of its citizens illegally in the United States. That 11% is from Mexico's Amerindian population.

Mexico has a free market economy that recently entered the trillion dollar class. It's GDP is $1.066 trillion. Of the 232 countries that are listed, Mexico ranks 14th in GDP. In other words, Mexico is a rich country. But Mexico also is a two-tier country, the descendants of the Spanish and its Amerindians. The Spanish have wealth and its indigenous peoples do not. Solution, drive them north.

Mexico's labor force is 37.38 million, boasts an unemployment of 3.6% and 40% of its population are below the poverty line, plus an underemployment rate of perhaps 25%.

If the 12,000,000 illegal immigrants in the US were to return to Mexico, Mexico's then 50 million labor force would have 50% of its population below the poverty line and an unemployment rate greater than 33%.


Mexico is simply dumping its own citizens.

[stopem]

Good for you, you may think you are alone in the way you feel and are the minority but trust me there are a lot of us who love this country to much to see it overtaken by a bunch of mexican-flag-waving illegal invaders!

And American citizens who demand we not show patriotism and tell our children they cannot show patriotism are traitors and need to be treated as such.

The day we are not allowed to show patriotism when there is a war on and Americans are on foreign soil fighting so we can BE FREE and an American says you are not allowed to be proud of the troops, our country and our flag thats the day we need to FIGHT!!

Mexico is Rich- Mexican wealthy play American taxpayers for suckers

Certainly there are many poor people in Mexico, since perhaps half the country lives in poverty. However, the nation as a whole is quite rich — see the documented facts listed below — and could well finance the sort of improvements in education and ifrastructure that would better the living standards of all Mexicans. But the Mexican ultra-rich, like telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim shown here, don't like to tax themselves for investment the country badly needs for infrastructure and education, and it helps them greatly that the American taxpayer has been forced to support Mexicans living in the United States.

Interestingly, the Forbes list of billionaires published in 2006 showed Carlos Slim moving up to the number three spot among the world's richest men. Every dollar spent in U.S. taxes for social services for illegal aliens frees up additional cash to be sent south as part of the annual remittances which provided $20 billion in 2005. According to the CNN news show Lou Dobbs Tonight (3/21/05), "Remittances, as they're called, are expected to become Mexico's primary source of income this year, surpassing the amount of money that Mexico makes on oil exports for the first time ever." So when el Presidente Vicente Fox complains that the "dignity" of Mexicans living illegally in America requires that they receive free healthcare on the U.S. taxpayer's dime, he is really talking about increased remittances to keep their whole corrupt system afloat.

Consider these relevent facts:

• Mexico has the second-highest highest Gross Domestic Product in Latin America, after being #1 for several years over second-place Brazil.

• When measured in GDP per capita, Mexico ranks #1 as of 2005, ahead of Chile and Venezuela.

• According to Forbes magazine, a substantial proportion of Latin American billionaires, 10 out of 26, were Mexican as of 2005.

• Mexico raises less revenue through taxation than nearly any other Latin American country, just 12 percent which is one reason why the nation's wealth is not better utilized. By comparison, the United States takes in 25-28 percent of its gross domestic profit in taxes. Even Brazil taxes itself at twice the Mexican rate.

• Economist Gary Hufbauer of the Institute for International Economics has remarked, "It's up to Mexico to solve its problem, and basically the wealthy classes do not want to tax themselves, period. While I'm not usually an advocate for larger government, Mexico is a country where public investment, done wisely, could pay huge dividends."

• Mexico expert Prof. George Grayson of William and Mary College calls Mexico an "immensely wealthy nation."

• Mexico's economy is the world's tenth largest.

• When the ruling party needed a hefty sum for the 1994 election, Presidente Salinas leaned on a group of rich businessmen to write $25 million checks each at an infamous dinner party, where contributions totaled a staggering $750 million by evening's end. Compare that with the measly $150 million campaign chest in spring 2004 that President Bush had accumulated after three years in office.

• Freedom House notes the cost of corruption: "According a recent study by the Mexico chapter of Transparency International, some $2.3 billion-approximately one percent-of the country's economic production goes to officials in bribes, with the poorest families paying nearly 14 percent of their income in bribes."

• Ricas y Famosas — Rich and Famous is a book of photos that takes a peek at the hidden world of the Mexican ultra-rich. Photographer Daniela Rossell used her membership in the exclusive club to reveal the decadent lifestyles of blonde women in gold lamé. It is a shocking view of the most extreme ostentatious wealth among great poverty.

• Sure Things in Mexico: Death, Taxes and Evasion According the recent rankings released from the IMD International, the Switzerland-based International Institute for Management Development placed Mexico at 56 out of 60 economies examined, largely because of a dearth of investment in everything from infrastructure to education. Due to its pathetic tax collection, Mexico cannot even buy schoolbooks or pay its police enough to live on, much less invest in its future.

• Lou Dobbs Tonight Transcript (12/16/04) The CNN news show shines a light on Mexican wealth. Particularly noteworthy is Prof. Grayson's remark: "There is a small economic elite who live like maharajas, and there's a political elite that protects them. Our border provides an escape valve which really lets the Mexican political and economic elite off the hook in terms of providing opportunities for their own people."

• While US Focuses on Iraq, Mexico is Collapsing June, 2005, and the symptoms of Mexico's failure as a state are accumulating. The recent takeover of border city Nuevo Laredo by the Mexican army because of the breakdown in law and order was so obvious.

Interestingly, Defense chief Donald Rumsfeld is guided by a secret Pentagon report which identifies Mexico as a potential failed state in the making.

Like I said, Mexico has plenty of dough. It's just dumping its Amerindians.

[Liz]

N-i-c-e take.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. we're about 40 years too late. Catch up will be difficult. Liberals are entrenched within the education system.

Two extremes can make a difference - put your children in a private school, or homeschool them. If there is a dramatic shift in that direction - it will take the wind out of their sales because the funds will drop dramatically - and all they care about is the money and training your child to be dependent on the govt for the rest of their life.

[upcountryhorseman]

It would have been more appropriate to ban the Mexican flag,
basically Mexico is causing the problem.

[Liz]

Bits and pieces of the story are coming out slowly but suresly, indicating the initial onslaught of protests was of internatonal proportions, involving several Central American countries.

The majority of illegals seem like they are coming from Mexico---but one TV news segment indicated all of the other Central American illegals gather at the Mexican border and make entry there......b/c it's so eay to get across our borders.
