How 'bout calling the Democrats?!
....Blowing up the pipelines that Muslims just won’t blow up...
The tacos were too spicy!
Che Blamo!
Yes, it was Obrador. I haven’t heard anything from him for awhile, but I’m sure he and his union-supported thugs - er, party - are still out there, doing what they can to ruin life in Mexico.
Interesting. I agree that Chavez has set his sights on Mexico and is probably working very hard to stir things up there. Even without Chavez, of course, the Mexican left was always a bit on the rabid side. But now they’re probably getting better training and support, and doing six bombings like this struck me as an announcement that they’re ready to go. They’re making their debut.
I hope I’m wrong. We’re getting down to just Colombia and Mexico as Chavez-free, at the moment (and the Dems are trying to give him Colombia). Well, actually, I think we could include Brazil, whose president is definitely a leftist, but who doesn’t want to be taken over by Chavez and has actually told him to bug off when he has tried to interfere in Brazil.
I think the Left may have suffered a temporary crisis of confidence after the close of the eighties, when all they had to point to was Cuba and North Korea. But Chavez has given them back the spring in their step.
And Mexico has definitely got his attention, Fox openly made fun of him in public, and now Calderon has beaten his proxy.
But you are right. The Left doesn’t need Chavez to actually do anything, just the fact that he exists, strutting about and getting in people’s faces gives them renewed confidence. I honestly thought that an era would end with Castro’s death, but I’m worried now that Chavez has given the communists a new lease on life.
cheers...
bttt
I worry about the Middle East, of course. But I have turned my attention equally to South America and Mexico. This is much closer to home. Ecuador and Panama are very anti-U.S. along with several others. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chavez is inciting violence in Mexico. Of course he is big buds with Iran. This whole thing is pretty scary.
someone in common cause with Muslims?
"It was the second time in three months that the so-called People's Revolutionary Army claimed responsibility for a pipeline attack as part of what it has labeled its "prolonged people's war" against "the anti-people government." The group, known as the EPR, is a secretive, tiny rebel group that staged several armed attacks on government and police installations in southern Mexico in the 1990s. It was later weakened by internal divisions, leaving it unclear which splinter group may have carried out Monday's attacks. The EPR claimed responsibility for a July attack on a major gas pipeline from Mexico City to Guadalajara in western Mexico that forced at least a dozen major companies, including Honda Motor Co., Kellogg Co. and The Hershey Co., to suspend or scale back operations."
I used to go dove hunting every September at the Rio Grande levee at Tornillo (just downriver from Fabens).
There was a small Mexican village across the river (just a creek there because of irrigation). There was a small footbridge there, and young Mexican boys would walk over it when they heard shooting, and offer to go pick up and clean downed birds for whatever change you would give them.
Those same boys would also bring small herds of goats over to the American side to graze them on the better grass there. They would drive them home when they finished, and nobody seemed to mind.
What a different world it was then.
Coming to a refinery or storage depot near you...sooner than you think.
That’s standard commie MO. First drive out the industry, then lie to the workers about the evils of capitalism that got them unemployed.
What is your implication here? How dare you associate
T. Boone Pickens with such a thing!
Just eating the grass that American goats won’t eat!
Record high close on crude. T-bone Pickens is the MSM’s cheerleader for $100/bbl.
