I agree the GOP needs to do better at reaching hispanics and other minorities, but it’s going to take a lot more than some guy saying a few words in the mother tongue. What’s next, will Rubio give his next speech wearing a sombrero and a mariachi outfit while strumming a guitar?

Great comment. It's time we came up with something to help LEGAL immigrants welcomed to the Republican party...

So where do you draw the line?

I understand the affinity that Mexicans have for their culture, so I'm OK with the Fiesta logo for example. As for businesses flying the tri-color, the line is drawn there. Some of that stems from the 10th anniversary of 9/11 when I driving through town to get the grandchildren. The vast majority of homes had the American flag unfurled out of respect but I was galled when driving by used car lots that had the Mexican flag flying on that sacred day. About a flag pin similar to Sarah Palin's but with the Mexican flag, that too is another line I'll not cross. In the case of Mrs. Palin, it's clear that Israel is a solid ally and shares our American values, so it makes perfect sense and is a demonstration of her commitment to liberty and our Judeo-Christian principles.

Just for the record (lest I be accused of being a bigot), there are indeed some Americans of Mexican descent who fully embrace the United States and our heritage. I have a very good friend who is of Mexican ancestry who is 100% American through and through. His parents were legal immigrants, initially working on the King Ranch in South Texas and later creating a carpet installation business.

He never speaks a word Spanish, flies Old Glory from a mast in his yard and has cut all ties with the country of his origin. In short, he thoroughly assimilated. He even sneers when we're diving and pass a Mexican restaurant, calling the food [expletive deleted]. That's a rare instance of him cussing since he's a good Assembly of God type of guy. Although he kept his Hispanic-sounding last name, he Anglicized his first name (to Gilbert from Gilberto).

He's proud to be an American and embraces his country in every way -- his favorite music style is C&W. So I'm proud to call Gil my friend. Wish there were more like him and I don't have to speak in Spanish when we talk.

DEFINITION OF A DEMAGOGUE:

“A demagogue or rabble-rouser is a political leader in a democracy who appeals to the emotions, prejudices, and ignorance of the poorer and less-educated classes in order to gain power. Demagogues usually oppose deliberation and advocate immediate, violent action to address a national crisis; they accuse moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness. Demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens. They exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, nothing stops the people from giving that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.”

The jobs that were once here are gone; training a new workforce is a dead end promise since no one is hiring....and have no plans to since businesses are closing. All that has been said so far is meaningless in the face of reality

Then there are more unemployed coming with the military cuts....

WIND ENERGY IS NOW GIVING US half OF ALL OUR ENERGY?????


Yep, 1/2 because they will not allow any other energy. The Gov is forcing coal mines
to close so they can fit the agenda of renewable energy as successful. It's a big friggin con
and Boehner is going along with it.
Every bastard up there today is a traitor to the economy and our constitution.

Now he wants to award associates degrees along with high school diplomas. Don’t increase the standards. Just lower the threshold for awards.

Notice his statement on healthcare?

He wants to revamp the healthcare accounting, so that parties aren’t paid for how much service is rendered, but rather upon the quality of service.

This means the quantities will be reduced and they will simply be labeled as higher quality.

It’s pure BS.
