How Right-Wing Extremists Took Over Texas

The Blue Area has a name.

"It is called AZTLAN, which means Paradise; it is where the Spirit of Truth lives."

Aztlán Underground – Decolonize 7 minute Youtube Video
From the top of Alaska to the tip of South America
Abya Yala, Anahuak, Turtle Island
506 years of indigenous resistance
The prophecies are coming true
The redemption of the red people has come!
The 6th sun now arises
The 7th fire has arrived
Cihuatl is reclaiming
We have returned to Aztlan
We have returned to Aztlan!!!!
WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US
WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US
WE DIDN'T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US

Aztlan, you Yankees stole it. Its yours, for as long as you can hold it.

Where on earth does this foolishness come from? I assume there is some fringe group who wants to "take back their land" because someone who looked vaguely like them lived there a thousand years back? Or are you all just looking to get a few bucks out of it?

Let me try a different spin on this topic:

See, the very rich get to corrupt our politicians at will. They get to have things "their way". They get to call the shots as they see fit, all in the name of (coincidentally) creating a plutocratic form of government of which we're already beyond the nascent stages thereof.

So from that perspective, let's all agree that as Texas goes (being a state bought and owned by the very rich), so will the remainder of the nation go. I couldn't find a better example of how, in the name of all that is hypocritical, the politicians from Texas (and the other southern border states) can, on the one hand, kiss the ring and shoe tips of the very rich by allowing them to grow richer by the minute from hiring illegal immigrants by the millions and on the other, bitch and complain about how Obama is not doing his job by refusing to seal the borders and using all means at his disposal (up to and including "dictatorial" executive orders and signing statements like Bush et al?) to "fix" things up?

These Repub politicians get to have things all their way where they can keep their masters happy by keeping the borders open for the slave labor that it allows and yet complain about how Obama and the federal government that these very sleazeball hypocritical politicians are an integral part of won't do its job of sealing the borders?

That's some real kick ass tragically funny poli-shit right there.

You summed it up. The "complaining" part is to get the votes.

That's because you're just constructing a strawman that doesn't really exist.

The people who want the border sealed, are not those that support slave labor. Neither political party wants to seal the border, neither is against illegal slave labor, not in Texas or any other state.

Meanwhile, what is actually funny is dumbshits who bend over for Obama and all the other political hacks as they seek to keep the border open and lure in millions of illegal workers, sentencing our home grown poor to even worse and perpetual poverty... while pretending to give a shit about helping poor people and whining about "living wages" while their policies promote ignoring labor and wage laws entirely!

Now that's some real kick ass tragically funny poli-shit right there, and your ilk laps it up and begs master for more.

There's some things in your remarks that I bolded that I agree with you on. However, you have to acknowledge the fact that the folks that want the border sealed and those that want to keep them opened for the cheap labor it provides are from the same Party.

The reason my beef lies exclusively with the Repubs up in Congress and not the Dems is that it's the Repubs up there that are doing all the bitching and moaning about closing the borders while the Dems are sitting back and laughing their asses off watching the Repubs talking out of both sides of their mouths.

On the one side of their mouths, they're loudly flapping on about how Obama refuses to close the borders (without the necessary funding that the Repubs in the House will never agree to) while the other half is simultaneously whispering to their very own well to do puppet masters that they've got the Dems right where they want them: being proponents for immigration reform and therefore (with all the high RPM Rovian/Limbaugh spinning fueling it onward) are somehow FOR open borders, amnesty and every other thing that, ironically, both Reagan and Bush allowed and enacted while they were at the helm.

All the bullshit about Aztlan? It's the Chicano version of the Lost Cause of the Civil War, States' Rights, Yankees keepin' 'em down, yada, yada, yada. It's not nearly as widespread among that community as is the mythology of the Lost Cause.

So we should give it back so they could make it into Mexico?

Qualifying it by party is stupid. It's not the same PEOPLE. Not everyone in a political party agrees on the same things.

Establishment Republicans are for open borders and cheap labor. Conservative Republicans are for closing the borders and keeping jobs and all the privileges of citizenship for Americans only, and they understand this would help keep wages and jobs up. These are NOT the same people. Giving businesses the huge out of illegal labor is a stupid position to take if one is pretending to want to help the poor and pretending to give a shit about labor and wage laws. But that's pretty much the Democrat position across the board. As well as: drivers licenses for illegals, welfare for illegals, in state college tuition for illegals- pretty much every benefit of legal citizenship afforded to anyone who can sneak across a border. (But of course not for educated, highly-skilled immigrants who come in the legal way- they get to wait years at a ton of expense.)

AND the SAME Dems crow on about low wages, and pretend they are the saviors of the poor. That actually IS a total inconsistent position.

But by all means, let's keep entertaing the notion that it's conservative Republicans that push for amnesty and bennies for illegals and open borders. Only in some topsy-turvy fantasyland does anyone really buy that.

It's not inconsistent if they think it will give them a perma dem majority and they can tax people just right then and make everyone middle class with redistribution efforts.

Little do these foolish democrats know their party is as bought as repubs. Dems wrote the laws where hedge fund managers only pay 15% max tax and all the stock games.

Oh I know it's not inconsistent... if Dems would just admit that they want to royally FUCK the poor and in the process create as many more of them as possible from people that were formerly better off. (And they don't really believe they can make everyone middle class with all the redistribution horseshit).

Sure, not inconsistent at all if you actually admit that.

The problem is, the assholes don't. They pretend they're the champions of the poor.

Stalin might be an extreme righty according to rolling stone.

I keep hearing Tea Party type people are extreme right. Those "extreme right" people (and libertarians) are usually the only ones who support the Constitution, support stopping endless government debt that you and your kids have to pay for, and support stopping the government from indefinitely detaining you, and recording everything you say, and putting you on terror watch lists because you read a Linux forum.

It's too bad more Democrats (and more Republicans) aren't "extreme right" because then maybe they'd support those commonsense things too. Recording everything you say and putting you on terror watch lists because you read a Linux forum is apparently just fine with the current administration and those who support it.
