Very cool!
The hypocrisy of praising one brown person, while killing another.
Ah, the Obama white House and BL. Will they be serving Kool Aid? I wonder what flavor. How quaint. Birds of a feather flock together I guess.
Mojito-flavored w/ a Romney twisted limon, Mario
And all for Caesar Chavez. Go figure. He’s like the Left establishment go to token Latino. They even named a Navy ship after him during this Obama regime! What next?
Mario Ramirez for President, perhaps. Seems like you’ve got it all figured out. Let me know when you run, I’ll be your CM.
Mario, you’re drooling. Simmer down now!!!
What do they call a Latino that is brown on the outside and white on the inside?
Sabor tamarindo being served in the White House, ehhhh?
Anyway, good luck.
I don’t know but I’m getting the thirst for a liquid lunch.
Probresito, Mario.
*pobrecito*
Nothing like a shot of Kentucky Bourbon for lunch.
And then a trip to the range wit sum 2nd Amendment mamis to shoot off some rounds with a custom made AK 47 home defense system before the administration of the “Chosen” one confiscates them.
Lord knows we need our semi-automatic rifles. There’s just too many hooded darkies stalking the streets these days, brandishing skittles and iced tea.
Nothing wrong with semi-automatics. I’ve got one. The day Zero decides to issue an executive order banning guns, he’ll be impeached. The Constitution is explicit with the 2nd Amendment. Unless the guy wants to rule in a dictatorial fashion, I wouldn’t worry about it. 90M gun owners in the USA is a powerful voting bloc.
Can’t declare all 90M gun owners felons. Doesn’t work that way.
I hope you constitutional purists realize how ridiculous you sound. Slavery, unfettered gun ownership, women’s suffrage — America was not created perfect. Let’s focus on establishing a 21st-century society, please.
What’s so ridiculous? Not sure where you’re getting at. Slavery is no longer a problem in the USA. Gun ownershhip is not a problem in the USA. And women’s suffrage is not longer a problem. So, what’s the problem?
“Gun ownership is not a problem in the USA.” The problem lies in that statement.
90M constitutional gun owners in the USA. That is not a problem.
And I’m a gun owner. I’m not the problem and neither are the 89,999,999 other gun owners.
First, the Constitution is not a perfect document. Our history proves that.
Second, if you are gun owner, what (or more appropriately, who) do you plan on shooting? And to vouch for 89,999,999 other individuals — most of whom you’ve probably never met — is a brave thing to do.
Translation: let’s rewrite the constitution to fit our needs and have federally funded reeducation programs for those that don’t want to accept the way we want things to be.
The question is why isn’t are politicians here in United States and Mexico getting together to resolve the issue of illegal immigration into this country. This is been going on for years and our government continues to disregard what the citizens of this country is wanting and that’s a secure border North and South. We have at least one incident where an illegal immigrant came to this country with the purpose of terrorism, what will it take another disaster before our politicians do something It doesn’t necessary have to be terrorism to create a disaster it could be something simple as a person who is sick and has smallpox was some type of disease is not curable there is a reason to ensure the safety of the community concerning immigration. All it takes is just one person to create a disaster
