And then there was an amazing statement, actually a monologue for news reporter Tony Valdez. Rather than posing a question to John and Ken, he launched into the whole Reconquista argument, talking about Manifest Destiny and U.S. invasion of Mexico in 1846. He talked about how this country took this part of the world by force and how they do that in Iraq and Iran.

And what does this Tony Valdez have to say about how Spain and Portugal rampaged over and conquered Latin America? From Mexico south to Argentina. Lets face facts. Latin nations are failed nations. It sucks to live in the former colonies of Spain and Portugal so guess what. They want to jam into this Anglo founded nation. England once ruled us. Our linage is Anglo-English while the lineage of Latin America is Spanish-Portuguese

"Our linage is Anglo-English while the lineage of Latin America is Spanish-Portuguese"

Our lineage is also industrialization, capitalism, progress, democracy and wealth.

Name one "Latin" country with all those traits.

Oh, man ... so many great posts ... but so far this is one that really hits a bullseye:

Talk about calling a spade a spade!
