It ROYALLY PISSES ME OFF that my husband and I work hard and pay so much in taxes that when I go the store, I have to buy hamburger instead of my favoriate leg of lamb -- and I get in line behind some STUPID leech buying filet mignon and sodas with MY money that I COULD have used to buy lamb in instead of hamburger.

It is IMMORAL.

Same with me and the wife. In fact, the local butcher was struggling. But with the influx of people with food stamps who can afford that expensive meat, he has hired 2 new people.

He just runs me and the wife off with a sharp stick.

What I am hung up on is that I prefer an educated Mexican over an uneducated Mexican.

If they meet all the requirements I'm for them paying instate tuition.

They have already been given "free" HS education; why object to them paying for college?

Comprehende?

Goes without saying. But, the libs would definitely cry about the poor mothers with babies, or daddies also. Just solve that problem with big daycares. Make them use their food stamps daily to feed the kids. Right now, they get food stamps AND we pay for all three meals during the school week. W(in) T(he) F(uture)??!! Why don’t we make them pay with food stamps for these meals.

I just watched the video link you provided. I heard nothing in Perry's address that I disagree with. This group is the largest hispanic civil rights group in the nation and they were holding their convention in San Antonio, where Perry agreed to speak. In his address, he underlined his sentiment that the federal government is not doing their job on enforcing border security. He also mentioned to this large crowd of hispanics that Texas spends millions of dollars of taxpayer money every 2 years to send state-level law enforcement to protect the Texas border. The nucleus of his message was that he wants our border secured, but since it is not, Texas has to deal with the aftermath the best it can.

Man that is just HORRIBLE isn't it? How dare he address a group of hispanics and tell them he wants our border secured.

[La Raza]Violence in Denver

The success of the alternative school and Gonzales' political achievements were overshadowed in 1973, when a man was arrested for jaywalking in front of the Crusade's headquarters.[20] A protest against the persecution was organized, leading to confrontations between demonstrators and police. Soon, a gun battle erupted, and a bomb exploded in the upper floors of the Downing Terrace apartments, which were in the possession of the Crusade.[21] One man was killed and seventeen were injured, among them 12 police officers. Gonzales accused the Denver police department of grenading the facilities, but a detective described the scene of the explosion as a "veritable arsenal".[22] Historians and scholars have yet to evaluate the impact of the bombing, but later prosecutions of Crusade participants served to diminish the influence of Gonzales and his organizations.

After this incident, Gonzales retreated into the private life of his family and Denver's Chicano community. He was still active in the movement, although he maintained a much lower profile.[23]

Quack, Waddle... kaBOOM!

By the way, the still images of Perry pandering and lending legitimacy to racist organizations like La Raza, have nearly been scrubbed clean from the Internet. I'm mean 99.9 percent of them have simply disappeared.

This is why others are forced to obtain still images from media videos.

You'll note the news media are moving away from still images and instead are posting more and more videos, making it difficult for many people to post a simple, readily viewed still image. As opposed to having to post links of some video, where half the people don't even bother viewing them due to the video time duration etc, etc.

You’re dragging up something that happened nearly 40 years ago and trying to connect it to Perry?

Care to come up with something a little more this century?

Where were you on all the recent Obama/La Raza threads ... Hmmmm?

Nice try!

Next?

Anyone home there?

It's the fact that he went to La Raza, seeking votes, pandering to and lending legitimacy to this very racist, anti-white American, pro-illegal alien organization.

La Raza is a racist Latino, mainly Hispanic, organization that champions the “rights” of illegal immigrants aliens, as well as advocates open borders and the return of the southwestern US to Mexico.

Hello, anyone home?

Yeah, I get that. We all do. The fact is, Perry is governor of a state with a huge Latino population. He has to address them. He has to engage them, speak to them, etc. He is a politician, after all. We could say the same things about the NAACP and many other minority groups. I’m sure you can find good and bad aspects about any of them. The fact they claim to represent huge populations of minorities means you’d better incorporate them into your state’s agenda. There’s nothing to this hogwash.

So if Obama panders to a Terrorist organization - that’s bad. But if Perry does so, that’s ancient history.

Uhuh.

Quack Waddle - RINOcRAT.

What time does the racewar start?

When, during his term as Governor of Texas or before that, did Perry “slam” “Food Stamps, Government Subsidies”.

These are nice sound bites, but, in Perry’s political history are they new and is that all they are - sound bites to attract a needed group of voters.

I work with an American-Mexican who told me he is a member of La Raza but hates "spics". Not even gonna try to figure that one out.

Uhuh. Same thing the RINOtards were trying to use to justify caving in to the Log Cabin crowd.

I'd vote for Thomas Jefferson, but he's unfortunately not available to run; neither in life - nor in the Texas Public Skewal Curriculum...

...if certain Texicans had their way.  
 
Which reminds me -- What's Perry's interpretation of Jefferson's Virgina Act for Establishing Religious Freedom?
 
 
Got TEA?
