hip hop represents an incredibly important aspect of our roots in resistance, and is espcially significant in reaching youth of color. i think this old geiser who wrote that comment needs to sit down and realize he doesn't know shit.

The evil "MECHA", a racist, terrorist organization whose slogan is "For the race everything, for those outside the race, nothing" wants to reclaim the southwestern United States for crapsico (which it lost due to incompetence and failure) , is an embarrassment to all Browns.

YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE COMMUNITY, TERRORIST PAYASOS.

EVERYONES A TERRORIST! AHHHH TERRORIST TERRORIST TERRORIST!!! Many people on this site are revolutionaries or believe in the possibility of revolutionary action being necessary in the future. Why is it that so many god terrified, nationalist douche bags think it makes us feel soooo bad to call us terrorists! If protesting injustice (although ineffective), or using direct action to illustrate a point is terrorism. Than consider yourself scared, terror terror terror, I'm a terrorist, put me on a list, I hate people as much as I care for them, hate, love, terror. Single mothers, terrorists, vegetarians, terrorists, civil rights activists, terrorists. TERRORISTTTSSS!!! You people make my head explode!

Listen up, u whiney clown

by Dr. Quinn Sartoris Wednesday, Apr. 20, 2005 at 9:01 AM

Why is it that so many god terrified, nationalist douche bags think it makes us feel soooo bad to call us terrorists!

In the case of blechA, they ARE terrorists. They have expressed violence as a viable solution to purge these "stolen" lands from the Americans that turned it inot a paradise (while Jose and his 30 children sat in the shade slurping tequila)

I almost wish these blechA mexi-pussies, so snug hiding out on our AMERICAN college campuses would try to initiate violence.

We need another Alamo to ignite the non-parasitical races to drive the Brown Menace into the fuckin sea and ram "Aztlen" right up their fuckin' asses.

Why don't you stop obsessing about Mexicans, and just get on with life. Ultimately, you can't really expect to control the border, or even what your NEIGHBOR does, or what color they are.

i've been to places where there are a lot of poor whites, and a lot of poor blacks, and damn if they don't look like TJ. I don't think Mexicans caused that.

And another thing, the Mexicans who come over, a lot of them are not poor people. They were people who were doing okay in Mexico, and decided to take a risk and make more money, because the economy there was so lousy. So, these people doing traditional working class jobs might have college degrees.

It's Latin America's loss, and our gain.

NO mas illegales

by Ving Ramirez Thursday, Apr. 21, 2005 at 12:16 PM

Why don't you stop obsessing about Mexicans, and just get on with life. Ultimately, you can't really expect to control the border, or even what your NEIGHBOR does, or what color they are.

-----Believe me, holmes, I would LOVE to forget illegal Mexicans. But I live in California, where the illegals are busily bankrupting hospitals for their "free" health care, their brats fill up government schools and they congest freeways with filthy lawnmower-carrying vehicles. Then there's that god-awful language, so inferior to English, that makes everything twice as expensive. ENGLISH ONLY ATMS...WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA.

----And you're wrong about the border, it CAN be controlled and it WILL be controlled, if America wants to prevent becoming a third world nation.

i've been to places where there are a lot of poor whites, and a lot of poor blacks, and damn if they don't look like TJ. I don't think Mexicans caused that.

-----Anywhere people embrace liberal "ideas" are going to be poorer for it.

And another thing, the Mexicans who come over, a lot of them are not poor people. They were people who were doing okay in Mexico, and decided to take a risk and make more money, because the economy there was so lousy. So, these people doing traditional working class jobs might have college degrees.

----That may be so, but two comments. ONE, if you're here illegally, you're an illegal. I notice that old Mexico's southern border is guarded by a brutal military and police force.

---TWO: Every successful Mexican that leaves there makes it worse "back home." This "Brown Flight " is just the irresponsible Mexican RUNNING AWAY from saving his own country.

----One more thing. All aid to Mexico from the US government should STOP at once. There are motherfucking scumbag criminals--some who've murdered American police officers--HIDING OUT in Mexico, which following its insane, fucked-up backwards thinking, has outlawed both the death penalty and life-in-prison sentences. (Huh. As if Mexico knew anything about "human rights").

----It's time we stop enabling the invaders from the South and start kicking ass...or else war is inevitable.

FUCK VICENTE BUSH. SEAL THE BORDERS.

Curious: two different Californias

by Damotclese Thursday, Apr. 21, 2005 at 12:58 PM
frice@skeptictank.org

This is very curious:

> brats fill up government schools and they
> congest freeways with filthy
> lawnmower-carrying vehicles.

This guy must live in a different California than the one I live in. My California has freeways that are stuffed with honkeys driving pickup trucks and SUVs that get anywhere from 10 to 15 miles to the gallon, darting back and forth between traffic pretending he's special.

And they've all got "Support Our Troops" stickers on the back of their surrogate penis, every one of them. They "support" the mass slaughter of over 100,000 innocent Iraqis so far, applauding the genocide of innocent people solely because they have brown skin and worship the "wrong" gods.

_That's_ the California I'm living in, Pal.

---Maybe so, but minus a few Canuck schmucks those Good Old Boys were born here and thus citizens.

Whether the Iraqi War had happened or not, the Mexican illegal problem was/is here to stay. That's the focus of this thread. I know there's nowhere for a liberal to run because to defend the invasion of one's own country is, well, indefensible.

Speaking of the war, it is not forgotten by me or thousands of others the bottom-feeding antics of the Mexican "futbol" team and attendant drunken crowds chanting "Osama" right after 9-11.

The joke is, any one of those payasos would give his left nut to live in the U.S.

Sexto Sol rising

Sexto Sol rising...
lavida.jpg, image/jpeg, 190x271

out of all the nonesense written, there is one valuable fact stated:
<<"the Mexican illegal problem was/is here to stay">>

THANK YOU MR.Pope Megatron

In fact we mexicans are here to stay. If you notice around you we are growing and will continue to grow.

look around you!!!
There we are,
we are everywhere
us mexicans
constructing your streets,
cleaning your houses,
making your food...
do you really think it is going to end?

do you really think the rules of "your" country want us to leave?

please!!! they know that with out us your country would die!!

why??

because you are incompetent...!! yes sr.. you can not take care of your own needs, and thus you would starve, you would live in filth, you would collapse with out us!!!

and a little something for you to think about... us mexicans that play that "joke of futbol" know how to play.. i am confident that I, being female, could defeat you in a soccer game!!! just because of the fact that i am mexican and i am not scared of the ball, nor of a pussy white boy!!!!!!!!

and to ALL of you mexicans out there:
May all of this shit inspire and feed your inner fire to educate, prepare and strengthen our people and our struggle, because evedently our numbers are growing and with the numbers comes the power, yet we must be smart and educate... educate to liberate!

may it be known the struggle is not for a pice of land, the struggle is to reclaim what is ours: culture, freedom.

it is a struggle to free ourselfs from the slavement the capitalist system inflicts upon us.

How frocking ironic!!!

Over 100,000 innocent Iraqis dead at the hands of a fascist, mass murdering regime who invaded them solely to seize control of their oil, and you make this comment. Utterly amazing.

Do you see the irony? Your complaint is that illegals are damaging the United States -- your complaint is undeniably true, only the _level_ of damage you posit it way out of proportion to reality.

The fascist Bush regime has caugsed irrepairable harm to America and to Americans, damage that far exceeds anything that the millions of illegal Mexicans have done or ever are capable of doing in America.

It wasn't Mexicans who squandered a half billion dollar budget surplus into a two TRILLION dollar deficit, and it wasn't Mexicans who instigated "USA PATRIOT Act" which nullifies the U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights -- not to mention suspends Habius Corpus!

That was all _Bush's_ assaults against the American way of life.

Then you throw in this mass murdering butcher's slaughter of the innocent people in Iraq. Your complaint is that "liberals" don't care about the "invasion" from the Mexican border.

Well let me tell you, pal, unlike this mass murdering fascist, Mexicans don't invade after carpet bombing residential neighborhoods with cluster munitions specifically to blow the limbs off of children in their beds. Mexicans don't flood the United States with depleted uranium munitions that keep murdering innocent people decades after they're used. Mexicans -- when they "invade" cause far less massive loss of life and destruction of the environment than the fascist Bush regime has inflicted in Iraq -- and in the United States.

The issue _is_ quality of life, but not just for Americans. Let's not be selfish. Let's stop pretending that a thousand brown-skinned human lives are less worth than a single white-skinned American.

Yes! I would love to see our borders shut down and the flood of illegals ended, absolutely! The cost to American citizens to carry illegals is a problem -- not as great a problem as you want to pretend, of course, but still a problem.

But at the same time, let's get this baby killing butcher out of our White House, stand him up for his war crime atrocities against humanity, and start rebuilding America back to where it was before this latest bout of Nazi Amerikkka.

Death to "Reconquista" jerkoffs

by Speedy Gonzalez Friday, Apr. 22, 2005 at 2:54 PM

Over 100,000 innocent Iraqis dead at the hands of a fascist, mass murdering regime who invaded them solely to seize control of their oil, and you make this comment. Utterly amazing.

-----You lefties have tried everything from claiming Iraq is "Another Vietnam" to the above standard line. There's no other way to say it: your view was and is WRONG about

* America's motives in the war
* how it was conducted,
* how it was fought
* WHY it was fought.
* why Saddam had to go

Please save your "fascist muredering regime" line for Saddam's trial.


Do you see the irony?

----There is no irony. None. One has NOTHING to do with the other.

Your complaint is that illegals are damaging the United States -- your complaint is undeniably true, only the _level_ of damage you posit it way out of proportion to reality.

-----My perceptions are my own, however the disease illegals bring (tuberculousis for one) plus

* the huge drain on the welfare state,
* plus the crime
* plus undermining of our economy*
* plus their refusal to assimilate

all point to a VERY serious threat. Three million invaders alone in California is deadly serious. As I've stated before, liberals are going to be very unhappy when it all ends in WAR, because that's where we're headed.

The fascist Bush regime has caugsed irrepairable harm to America and to Americans, damage that far exceeds anything that the millions of illegal Mexicans have done or ever are capable of doing in America.

------That is certainly arguable, but I'm not about to argue with someone who has Bush = H**ler stamped indelibly into their gray matter.

---You managed to nclude just about every rhetorical bit of nonsense about the war, from "it be racism" to depleted uranium. I've watched any and all of these arguments crumble like a vampire in the light of day.

---- We must be lousy imperiali-ts if gas is $2.50 a gallon while "we" control Iraq's oil.

----Public opinion said, "Fuck Saddam" and Saddam was removed. End of story.

I'd advise any and all readers to check out THIS turd if they think the "Reconquista" movement is idle chatter.

http://www.americanpatrol.com/FEATURES/030525-NAVARRO-ADMITS-RECON/030525_Feature.html

The real joke is, this prick Navarro is given public monies to spread his bullshit.

Conservatives in office have equally failed the people on the issue of the borders.

"Reconquista." LOL. Nationalism makes a cool t-shirt, but as a political trend, is over, as far as I'm concerned.

Ethnic studies is a wonderful thing, but, let's be real about the professors. They're caged lions. They can roar from behind bars, but, how frightened are the powers that be, really? Not much, I think.

No, ultimately, the only way to get change is in the streets. That's how Chavez got into power in Venezuela. Neighborhood groups did it. Argentina's uprisings are based in community groups of the screwed and ignored.

These Minutemen nazis will get their comeuppance eventually, because the people in these cities don't want the divisions to continue.

Typical rightard defends atrocities

by Damotclese Saturday, Apr. 23, 2005 at 9:05 AM
frice@skeptictank.org

> Please save your "fascist muredering
> regime" line for Saddam's trial.

You won't mind, I'm sure, if I don't bother reading your insane right-wing extremist kook rant. Seen it before.

Did you notice that the Bush mass murderer is no different than Saddam? When Saddam used blistering agents on Iranian militants staged out of Kurdish townships, make a guess where he acquired the munitions.

Go ahead. Make a guess.

No, you're wrong: The United States provided him with the chemicals he needed to gas Kurds and Iranians with Donnald Rumsfeld showing up in Iraq to shake hands with the butcher and clench the deal.

And now we have a mass murdering fascist baby killer named Bush who has slaughtered over 100,000 innocent people. Saddam on his best day never slaughtered 100,000 at a throw. That took Bush and his fellow mass murdering butchers -- and Republicans who support and defend the monster.

It's funny. Rightards will defend a mass murdering monster so long as he's white and Christian. Put a tan on the butcher or have him worship the "wrong" gods, and suddenly war crime atrocities against humanity are no longer crimes at all -- they're "liberation."

Mexicans: they're everywhere they shouldn't be

by Conservatron Monday, Apr. 25, 2005 at 3:37 AM

This yahoo has Mexicans on the brain. I wish that were so, less rational, but the Mexicans are on the streets illegally in YOUR town.

"Reconquista." LOL. Nationalism makes a cool t-shirt, but as a political trend, is over, as far as I'm concerned.

You're too quick to dismiss what could be a serious threat. But then if the left can't see why Saddam had to go...

Ethnic studies is a wonderful thing, but, let's be real about the professors. They're caged lions. They can roar from behind bars, but, how frightened are the powers that be, really? Not much, I think.

I thought you would put more stock in the ability of a 60s radical dinosaur to put tiny, wrong ideas into young skulls full of mulch.

No, ultimately, the only way to get change is in the streets. That's how Chavez got into power in Venezuela. Neighborhood groups did it. Argentina's uprisings are based in community groups of the screwed and ignored.

These Minutemen nazis will get their comeuppance eventually, because the people in these cities don't want the divisions to continue.

Too bad for you the Minutemen are law-abiding gentlemen and women. The dope-smoking ACLU asshole trying to provoke a confontation are the traitors (I won't stoop to calling them nazis, since I know the correct definition).

Nice pic, by the way. But the United Federation of Nerds is 200 years in the future.
