JOHN WAYNE THE HYPHEN

The Hyphen, Webster's Dictionary defines,
Is a symbol used to divide a compound word or a single word.
So it seems to me that when a man calls himself
An "Afro-American," a "Mexican-American," "Italian-American,"
An "Irish-American," "Jewish-American,"
What he's sayin' is, "I'm a divided American."


Well, we all came from other places,
Different creeds and different races,
To form a nation...to become as one.
Yet look at the harm a line has done--
A simple little line, and yet
As divisive as a line can get.
A crooked cross the Nazis flew,
And the Russian hammer and sickle too--

Time bombs in the lives of Man;
But none of these could ever fan
The flames of hatred faster than
The Hyphen.

The Russian hammer built a wall
That locks men's hearts from freedom's call.
A crooked cross flew overhead
Above twenty million tragic dead--

Among them men from this great nation,
Who died for freedom's preservation.
A hyphen is a line that's small;
It can be a bridge or be a wall.
A bridge can save you lots of time;
A wall you always have to climb.
The road to liberty lies true.
The Hyphen's use is up to you.

Used as a bridge, it can span
All the differences of Man.
Being free in mind and soul
Should be our most important goal.
If you use The Hyphen as a wall,
You'll make your life mean...and small.
An American is a special breed,
Whose people came to her in need.
They came to her that they might find

A world where they'd have peace of mind,
Where men are equal...and something more--
Stand taller than they stood before.

So you be wise in your decision,
And that little line won't cause division.
Let's join hands with one another...
For in this land, each man's your brother.
United we stand...divided we fall.

We're Americans...and that says it all.

Beyonce? What, Los Lobos weren't available?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Don’t seem prominent to me. Maybe they are prominent among their liberal friends.

“Other notable guests will include Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy”

Looks like zero will try to lean on Kennedy to get his vote supporting the 0bamacare mandates. If that doesn’t work, zero could slip the old guy something that sends him to the hospital.

This is disgusting on so many levels.
First, the additional 100 people NOT invited to dinner, are they not “good enough”...Babs Boxer among the others isn’t good enough to have dinner, but gets invited to the reception ONLY? I’d shove THAT invite right up their corn hole.

Next, why are we doing OUR renditions of Mexican food? Doesn’t he get enough in Mexico?

Then, WTHeck is this MexiPrez doing here anyway? He insults the USA because “HIS PEEPS” are here illegally?? His Country totally stinks economically and then berates the USA for trying to control HIS PEEPS?

Then Obozo de Klown bends over and takes it all...filthy stinkin’....

I vomit on them all...disgusting pigs.

You can thank the commie front org, MALDEF, for the hyphens. Their primary goal has been to balkanize the US.

George Lopez: culo de caballo

Imagine the scene: A lot of borracho “We shall overcome, I’m on your side 100% el presidente! Salud! etc. and so on.”

The putative president of the United States aiding and abetting criminal lawbreakers and their enablers in the nation’s house and all on our dime.

"...a who's who of powerful and politically connected Hispanic-Americans."

More like a who's who of anti-American traitors.

For what it's worth, there's no such country as Hispano-America.

Ross Perot’s idea here: That loud sucking noise we hear is Obama kissing Calderon’s ass.
