Fluency means different things to different people. Many people told me that I was fluent in Vietnamese. I knew I wasn’t fluent because I couldn’t talk about construction, minerals, clothing materials, etc. BUT, I could order a bottle of red or white wine, a can or a bottle of beer, request a window or an aisle seat on a plane and carry on a conversation with a VN person.
Fluency is an elusive concept.
“I have to keep reminding myself he (Dodd) is one of the Senator’s from my state because he’s invisible here. Wish he was invisible everywhere.”
Interestingly enough, “Dodd” is the first syllable in ‘doddering.’
At least it is a European language! Imagine the two fat boys coughing up phlegm as they discussed the merits of Sharia in Arabic.
the irony is that the “mexicans” in the u.s.
could not defend themselves against indian attacks
until the u.s. calvary arrived!
EBONIA! Wonderful place, formerly called the United States of America. Decades ago something went wrong, insanity spread throughout the land, the place just folded up, now it’s good for nothing. Lot of memories though........kinda sad really.
Yeah, and here’s a quick thanks back at you, while I can!
"The True History of the Southwest, 101"
The amount of historical idiocy and fallacies surrounding the history of the Southwest is staggering, chief among them the "Aztlan" fairy tales. What's the truth? How did the Spanish Europeans conquer the Southwest? The "conquistadores" (that means "conquerors") did it with the lance, and the lash.
For example, in 1541 Coronado entered present-day New Mexico (which included present-day Arizona during the Spanish era) searching for the "lost cities of gold." One of his first actions upon meeting the natives was to burn 100s of them alive in their dwellings, for not handing over suspected horse thieves. That is how Spain conquered the natives of the present US Southwest--not with hugs and kisses! It was certainly no love-fest between long-lost brown-skinned soul-mates, as it is often portrayed today by the delusional Aztlaners, who spin the "new bronze race of Mestizos" toro-mierda.
By 1821, Mexico City was strong enough to overthrow even more decrepit and ineffectual Spanish rule. However, the distant provinces of the current U.S. Southwest were far beyond the reach of the authority of the independent but strife-torn government of Mexico City. These distant northern provinces received neither military protection nor needed levels of trade from the south. Under Spanish rule, trade with the USA was forbidden, but at least Spain provided trade and Army protection from hostile Indians. Under Mexican neglect, the Southwest received neither trade nor protection from Mexico City.
For example, Comanches and Apaches ran rampant in the 1830s in this new power vacuum created by Mexican neglect, burning scores of major ranches that had been around for hundreds of years and massacring their inhabitants. Mexico City could neither defend nor keep the allegiance of its nominal subjects in these regions. Nor did it provide needed levels of trade to sustain the prior Spanish-era standard of living. Mexican governmental influence atrophied, withered and died at the same time that American pathfinders were opening up new routes into the region.
Increasingly, a growing America was making inroads into the Southwest, via ships into California, and via gigantic wagon trains of trade goods over the Santa Fe Trail from St. Louis. The standard of living of the SPANISH in these provinces subsequently increased enormously, which is why they did not support Mexico City in the 1846-48 war. In fact, the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER considered themselves "Mexicans" at all, ever. They went, in their own eyes, from SPANISH directly to AMERICAN. To this very day, if you want a punch in the nose, just call an Hispanic native of New Mexico a "Mexican!"
So how long did Mexico City have even nominal control over the Southwest? For only 25 years, during which they had no effective control, and the area slipped backwards by every measure until the arrival of the Americans. The SPANISH inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER transferred their loyalty to Mexico City, because all they received from the chaotic Mexican government was misrule, neglect, and unchecked Indian raids.
Since then, how long has the area been under firm American control? For 150 continuous years, during which time the former Spanish inhabitants of the region, now American citizens, have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of the Mexicans still stuck in Mexico. To compare the infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals etc of the two regions is to understand the truth. The Mexican government has been mired in graft, corruption, nepotism and chaos from the very start. The ordinary Mexican peons have been trampled and abused, while only the super-rich elites have thrived. This is why millions of Mexicans want to escape from Mexico today, to enjoy the benefits of living in America that they can never hope to obtain in Mexico.
And because today Mexico is a corrupt third-world pest-hole, (despite having more millionaires than England), we are now supposed to let any Mexican from Chiapas, Michoacan or Yucatan march into the American Southwest, and make some "historical claim" of a right to live there?
From where does this absurd idea spring?
At what point in history did Indians and Mestizos from Zacatecas or Durango stake a claim on the American Southwest? Neither they nor their ancestors ever lived for one single day in the American Southwest. The Spanish living in the Southwest in 1846 stayed there, and became Americans by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. There were no Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest who were marched to the border and driven into Mexico. It didn't happen. The SPANISH in the Southwest welcomed American citizenship, which brought stability, protection from Indian raids, and a vast increase in their standard of living with the increase in trade.
In summary, NO current inhabitants of Mexico have ANY claim on even one single inch of the Southwest! NOT ONE citizen of Mexico is sneaking into the USA to reclaim property their ancestors were deprived of, NOT ONE.
They are criminal invaders and colonizers, pure and simple.
It's time Americans learned the true history, as a counter to the prevalent Aztlaner fairy tales.
Jeb used to address the fl state assembly in Spanish and would regularly give announcements in English and Spanish.
good luck getting this across.
tv morons, public skools, and universities prefer myths and lies to the truth.
In a way, this is good: it gives other candidates reason to pound these jerks for not speaking Inglis in all their debates. :) Won't go over well with the NASCAR crowd.
It’s having an effect. Little by little, we are raising the level of the debate even far beyond the blogosphere.
Richardson and Dodd - Spanish translation = Toro Caca
Has the government not banned that book yet?
the answer to your question is that the reconquista
fits into the larger picture of corporate globalization.
mecha at utep, cal state northridge, ucsb, etc. is funded by the large foundations such as the ford and rockefeller foundations.
mecha allows mexican immigrants to believe that they “belong” here and that “their” land was “stolen”.
and left wing american dupes believe this and promote it in american skools.
No doubt about that at all. The Reconquistas are being funded by globalists to promote the breakup of the USA into more “manageable” parts, for easier integration into the NAC/NAU/SPP.
“Richardson, who is fluent in Spanish…” because he spent his early childhood in Mexico City.
I heard him speak a few words in supposedly Spanish the other day. His Spanish stinks.
“Dodd, also is fluent in Spanish. He lived in the Dominican Republic while serving in the Peace Corps.”
Oh lord! He was in the Peace Corp in the Dominican Republic and this makes him fluent?
I hope they go through with this debate in Spanish because they are going to become the laughing stock of the Latin community.
