I'm feeling almost human again, although still a little on the shaky side both physically and mentally. I felt it might be time to try to see if I can still make a post that may strike a chord with someone, whether they agree or disagree.
I would again like to give my thanks to all of you for being so kind and patient with me this last month your prayers and well wishes are truly the best things that sustain me.

Read on and let me know if I have succeeded or not.

I caught the march in Los Angeles onh the periphery of my conciousness the other day....and I must say I'm kind of glad that they (La Rasa and LULAC) are organizing events such as this.

WHY? you might ask. It's like this; illegal immigration has been a "hidden" but growing problem for the last ten years or so, and now, finally, the true goals of groups such as La Rasa and LULAC are out in the open.

For far too long they have tried to pass themselves off as nothing more than "defenders of the rights of discriminated against people" They are NOT. They are nothing less than invaders of the USA, attempting to take over a large section of our country.

They claim that the Europeans are the invaders of the land and that they are the "indigenous people".....hate to remind them, but in reality, should they care to look into their own history they would find that there was this european country called Spain that conquered the lands they were born in in the 1500's...they are no more indigenous than my neighbor is. They are "mutts" as much as any American is. It's true that Indian blood is a part of their heritage also, but that is just as true for many White and Black Americans as well.

The issue here is whether or not a country has the right to limit entry into it's sovereign territory or not, and what is expected of those that chose to leave the lands of their birth to become citizens of a new country. That is the main problem; these people did not come to become citizens, they came to provide mere survival for their families, and in the process expected the American culture to adapt to them, and the PC crowd has provided them ammunition in this clash of cultures.

The present difficulty has been greatly exacerbated by the PC concept of multicultualism. We have Balkanized our country with these misguided concepts, and WE have allowed it to continue unabated for far too long...so we bear part of the blame for the present unrest.

RACIST! you might try to call me; how DARE you deny a people their heritage! "Don't you know how discriminatory we are against these Brown people?"

I say B U L L S H I T . I too am from another country, My family decided to come here because of the opportunities that are freely available ONLY in the U.S. NO ONE can be prouder of his heritage than I am, BUT when I came here, I came to be an AMERICAN; to join myself with, and to add to, a new heritage, of which I am even prouder. I, and all of my brothers were proud to volunteer to do military service to defend our new homeland in a time when the draft was still in effect, and there was a war raging in the Far East. None of us ended up serving in combat, but that was just the luck of the draw, and the areas where I and at least one of my brothers served were "trip lines" in the Cold War; areas where, should the Cold have turned Hot, we were the front line of defense, and probably would have been hard pressed to survive the initial onset of hostilities. Why do I bring this up? It's because I see the attitude of these protesters and know that they are NOT Americans looking to be equally treated and respected, but nothing less than invaders trying to infiltrate, destabilize, and ultimately defeat, the country that I love. They are the enemy, and they should be treated as such.

I have no problem with anyone from ANY country coming here to try to make a new life and provide greater benefits for their families; and by all means, be proud of your background heritage and culture, but always keep in mind that AMERICA is the culture that is sustaining you and giving you the opportunities that you didn't have before you came here.

Come here through the legal channels just as millions of us did before you and add your little piece to the tapestry of America that we are weaving as a nation; I will welcome you as a friend. Come here surrepticiously, and work to try to change our tapestry to match your old one (that didn't provide you with a means to live as you wished) and you will be my enemy. Burn the flag that I pledged my honor to defend in my presence and you WILL pay the price.
