		<description><![CDATA[Karme - No one said that Mexico wasn&#039;t a beautiful country with abundant natural resources. But, how are those resources being used? If the government of Mexico was actually working for the people, all of the people, then they wouldn&#039;t keep running up here in huge numbers to leech off of our tax-based systems - and there wouldn&#039;t be a lucrative illicit drug trade. The truth of the matter is, Mexico is still basically a feudal system. There are the uber rich, then their secondary lackeys, then the masses of ignored peasants who can barely find enough to eat, but who keep increasing their numbers nonetheless. Mexico is experiencing serious unrest due to the drug trade, and it&#039;s spilling over our borders here in the U.S. Citizens are being murdered, and long-time ranchers are not safe on their land near the border anymore. The MCDC, in conjunction with other groups and law enforcement, help to keep these people safe.]]></description>

I have no problem with the term, &quot;white citizen&quot;. I DO have a problem with the phrase, &quot;class of nativist oppressor in this country&quot;. I get the funny feeling that no Federal bill contains such language, as Beholder&#039;s racist post would suggest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skinny Minne:  You say look at Mexico for example.  Do you really know what Mexico is like past the borders?  I doubt that you do otherwise you would be shocked at the beauty of the country and the natural resources abounding everywhere, the historical sites and colonial palaces that are housed in that country that are very desirable to the mega rich of this planet.  They have progressive universities that people from Europe and other countries attend and some of the most beautiful architecture of the world.

Unfortunately there are those governing bodies that want to destabilize the country and if it weren&#039;t for those mercernaries doing the sporadic killing and terrorizing the population at large at this time in history, it would still be the peaceful country that it once was just less than a decade ago to more than a million Americans who now call it home.

So much confusion and propaganda in the airwaves that there is no way that any of us could conduct a productive conversation in this small space that we are allotted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beholder - in a previous post, you responded to Evil White Person&#039;s post in this manner: 

beholder said, 


on March 25th, 2010 at 1:46 pm

[Evil White Person] Fortunately when the President was white people could discuss the bill on its merits rather than simply call its opponents racists.

[Beholder] They were racists then and they are racists now. I cannot see how this has materially changed.

------------------------------

I will address that mess along with this portion of your most recent comment: 

&quot;It is understandable not to like white people very much, after everything that has been done over the past 500-700 years. But not liking white people is not the institutional racism that we can address politically. Institutional racism is what enabled there to be no non-white President until Obama, so a black man not liking Bush would not be a racist.&quot;

[Me] Are you aware that the only places where slavery is still ignored and/or actually allowed is in certain African and Asian countries, in addition to a few other countries such as Haiti? I didn&#039;t think so. And - newsflash - we are not talking about &quot;white people&quot; here.

Most citizens have no problem with Obama&#039;s race, they object to his presidency on other grounds. Of course, certain individuals want to point fingers at these people and scream &#039;racism&#039; at every perceived &quot;chance&quot;; but such individuals only make fools of themselves. As for me, I prefer that any presidential candidate would have served in our military; Obama had not. I also prefer that any presidential candidate should have a good history of serving in public office at the Federal level; Obama had not even served one term as a Senator before he began campaigning for the presidency. 

Please re-read your post, especially the selection I have included here. If you can&#039;t see the insidious racism included therein, then you are worse off than you thought. And, I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only one who caught it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Shadow Wold said]  They are angry that the historic Healthcare Reform was passed by a “Black President” instead of a White Man. 

Wow, typical rhetoric from a devoted believer in SPLC tripe.  The people who oppose the health care bill are the same ones who opposed Hillarycare when Bill Clinton was President.  Fortunately when the President was white people could discuss the bill on its merits rather than simply call its opponents racists.  Obama pushed for and signed the bill, but white socialist Pelosi was instrumental in jamming the bill thorugh congress.  And the usual pile of lobbyists and their pet congressmen wrote the thing.  So this was not the sole accomplishment of the Annointed One. The pitiful minds at the SPLC just can&#039;t imagine that someone might oppose the health care bill for any reason other than that the President is half black.

skinnyminny&#039;s post was so incoherent I can&#039;t even parse the thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shadow Wolf - I disagree with your statement, &quot;...bare [bear?] in mind that the extremists on the Right really do not hold any rational arguments during their teaparties. They are angry that the historic Healthcare Reform was passed by a “Black President” instead of a White Man.&quot; 

Did it ever occur to you that some individuals might be opposed to the &quot;healthcare reform&quot; on other grounds? I am extremely concerned about the fact that I have two elderly parents, as well as numerous elderly aunts and uncles, who are on Medicare. We have had to deal with Medicare fraud with respect to healthcare providers in our own family, so I know good and well that it&#039;s all over the country. I saw a televised report recently (on CNN, I think) that highlighted problems with Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Unfortunately, it&#039;s a scheme that is amazingly easy to pull off. The way I see it, unless and until we can lift a five-pound weight (Medicaid and Medicare), we have no business looking at a hundred-pound weight (nationalized healthcare). 

And hey, Shadow Wolf, I challenge you to find anything racist in my statement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Shadow Wolf! Guess they won&#039;t admit they&#039;re being affected by the very same policies they created. And this &#039;Evil White Person,&#039; I don&#039;t know what his angle is, well, besides racism, again German ancestry!

John McCain said during his campaign, &quot;look, those jobs aren&#039;t coming back.&quot; Bush also said the jobs weren&#039;t coming back. 

For Evil White Person to get people to go to the border is ridiculous. He should be telling them to preserve the gas in their vehicles. It is alleged he has good relations with politicians, then I think he should know better - this is a waste of taxpayer funds. And apparently, he&#039;s not street smart - in other words, he can labeled a snitch.....&quot;they set up a branch in my neighborhood...&quot; are you kidding me? I guess this is his way of &#039;taking the state back, block-by-block and street-by-street.&#039; 

Sorry! I think he lost his street cred right there!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dave,

Funny you should mention the jobs Americans won&#039;t do won&#039;t feed a family! Didn&#039;t you know that the Republicans, more specifically, a female, was saying that children should get jobs like at McDonald&#039;s so they can eat! The Republicans are saying no more welfare.....and you&#039;re telling me that you don&#039;t want just any ol&#039; job.


Emmett,

The problem with your argument, you can&#039;t tell a Mexican, from El Salvadoran. You never mention that some of the guys were trained by our country. A fact strangely not mentioned by you, consummation of drugs by Americans, and attempting to pit the Latino against Black. You say full militarization of our borders, what difference would it make now? I think if you start taking emotions out of decisions, and think through what options you have, you wouldn&#039;t get yourselves in such a pickle.

Example, the &#039;abortion&#039; arguement. The Right says that it&#039;s Black babies being aborted - then, you say, &quot;we want this to become a &#039;white country&#039; for our people. Further argument, I&#039;m not paying for an abortion, then it&#039;s, I&#039;m not supporting those mothers that have babies by different fathers......

Wow, what an arguement - I am so confused!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Um...Leslie, You might want to leave Russia out. In fact, you&#039;re right about India and China as being very competitive in the worldwide competition for trade and outsourcing of jobs going to those countries. Russia on the other hand is probably on the verge of another economic collaspe for various reasons that I have no time to post here. Americans should direct their anger where anger is due--at the White greedy capitalists who use the backs of illegal aliens for their own self-fish ends. As for the leader of the MCDC, it seems that she is calling for her members to engage in illegal deeds through murder or attempted murder of illegal aliens or &quot;criminals&quot;. Her very definition of &quot;criminals&quot; is vague, since the average simple border  jumper isn&#039;t a dangerous &quot;criminal&quot; for simply walking across the border with half of them women and children. Lest they forget that we are a nation of laws, calling for average citizens to engage in hunting down of illegal aliens, human beings of another country, or &quot;criminals&quot; is also a Federal offense and should be the job of the Border Patrol and Federal Agents do so. I personally do not care what MCDC does, since I am agaist Illegal Immigration but do not support these racist Natavists, but how they approach Illegal Immigration related issues in recent years is laughable. Just let the Feds and the Border Patrol do its job that it is designed to do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s true that many jobs have been lost by outsourcing to other countries by U.S. corporations—which is unfortunately, perfectly legal. Not many people coming across the southwestern border from Mexico have the technical skills to compete with Russians, Indians, and Chinese for high paying white collar jobs. Agriculture in California is highly dependent on migrant workers who may or may not have papers but frankly, I haven&#039;t met any Americans that want to pick strawberries in Salinas in the summertime. 

Vigilantes taking the law into their own hands are breaking the law and should be arrested—no exceptions.]]></description>
