The resemblance is positively uncanny.

The title of the video is “Patriots Chew Out Illegal Alien Squatters.”  I don’t think that’s accurate.  At least some of the men are day laborers who live in Mexico and work in the U.S. during the day.  But that’s neither here nor there.

I neither condone nor condemn the behavior of either party in this video.  Both sides have their reasons for being there. 

The reason I posted the video is to start a discussion about methods.  Is this a good way to protest failed immigration policy?  Is this a good way to advocate for a more secure border?  Is this kind of direct, confrontational method effective?  If so, how is it effective?

What do you think?

From the McAllen Tea Party

In some of these posts over the past few months, we told you about some of the information being taught in our public schools. Some of you were skeptical. 

Well, this should really shock you as it did one of the school board members who objected to the reading and to one of the teachers in the meeting. He just hung his head apparently in shame, then walked out of the meeting.

On Glenn Beck’s radio program this morning, an excerpt from a Tuscon school board meeting was played wherein a young woman read portions (including page number references) from a book used in the Controversial Ethnic Studies Curriculum for grades 3 through 12. 

This seemed to be an emotional reading for the people attending the meeting so we researched it to find the actual video.

We found it.

References to “Blood-sucking Capitalists”, the “F” word, “S—”, and “BullS—” appear to be used quite extensively throughout the book.

Caution: This video contains language you may not want to hear! But, that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Should the “offensive” language in a public school textbook be censored in a public meeting but not in the classroom? What about the kids? 

I’m thankful that this young woman cared enough to review the textbook and then had the courage to confront the school board.

What are our kids and grand-kids being taught? 

Shouldn’t we be more involved in our kids’ education?

Today Texas was graced by the presence of “dear leader” who told us we were basically full of bullcrap when it comes to the issue of the border.

According to Obama, problem’s fixed and we should shut up.  I thought you all might appreciate this video clip of Congressman Lamar Smith debunking the lies that were spewed in El Paso.  

Funny . . . Obama turns up to pander for the. Hispanic vote and raise campaign $$ but won’t acknowledge the devastation caused by weeks of fire and a long drought.  You think he saw any scorched earth from Air Force One?
