If one believes that such orgs. as MEChA and LaRaza wish only to advance the cause of racist Hispanic separatism, then the “rhetoric” is intended to wake America up. We are at war with those Rubio wants to court. If you believe this to be an exaggeration, check their websites. This from the national MEChA:
“In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal “gringo” invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.
We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our hearts. Aztlán belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent.”
The bronze contintinent is California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Oregon, parts of Washington. These states are to be taken from “gringo” and reunited with Mexico & Central America into its original Aztlan. So, to describe this is “rhetoric”? Rubio needs to sit down.
The political class has this to say to you....AHHHH SHUT UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A PERSON. They have been saying this for years, at least that is the message I have been getting for quite some time.
