scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
After reading some of the comments, I realized it was the Huff and Puff banana smokers magazine.
Next step: require voters for identification to prove their qualifications. After that, when the Democrats lose a substantial part of their fictitious voting base, the long decline of the progressive movement will be much steeper.
Did you all see where Sheriff Larry Dever has been killed/ He has been very involved with the Arizona border problems. He was the Sheriff of Cochise County.
He entered the national spotlight as one of Arizona's four border sheriffs who asked to legally defend the state's controversial anti-illegal immigration law, known as SB1070, in federal court. Cochise County, in the state's southeastern corner, shares an 83.5-mile border with Mexico and is one of the state's hot spots for illegal immigration and drug smuggling.
He said at the time that the federal government was failing to secure the border and praised the law, which includes provisions that require police to question a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws and if officers suspect the person is in the county illegally.
It's a sad day for Freedom here in AZ; Larry Dever was a good man holding down the fort in Cochise county. Happened up in the woods near our place....RAK
I live in Mexico, about 250 miles south of Nogales on the Arizona border. I have been studying Spanish for over two years, now, with a native speaker.
There is a HUGE difference between the accents of a US born Hispanic, and a Mexican national. There are sounds in Spanish that are just not in the English language, and vice versa. Note on TV and in the movies that oftentimes 'you' will be pronounced 'joo,' or yellow 'jello.' That is only one of many differences. The Spanish 'G' is pronounced deep in the throat, the English 'G' is pronounced in the front of the mouth. 'Guacamole' is not 'wocamole,' down here, but the 'G' sound is much less noticeable. There are many more such Shibboleths. I can tell in a few seconds a US speaker from a Mexican; my best friend across the street from when I was 6 was a Colorado Chicano, and there were a great many in our neighborhood.
There are also regional differences in Mexico as plain as the US southern, Mainer, or Yooper accents. Eastern Mexicans, Yucatecans, Southwest coastal, all have strikingly different accents. The Mexican Indians sound VERY different, and there are three accents in Mexico city, upper, middle, and working class.
At the same time, there are many 'gueros,' or caucasian, Mexicans, that look and are pure European, especially in the Norte.

ReplyDeleteBuford Pusser also supposedly died in a one car accident.
ReplyDeleteHa. "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
ReplyDeleteHell, there's a passel of people in Bill Clinton's orbit who suffered a similar fate in a car,or plane, or Fort Marcy Park.

It's not about race, its about language.
People in Obama's orbit, too: his drug dealer/homosexual partner, and two known gays in Jeremiah Wright's church, to start.
