Fischer: ‘Clamp Down on Immigration’ Because ‘Socialist’ Hispanics Vote Democratic

Latino outreach from the religious right
Politics • Views: 30,595

As I watched this clip from religious right caveman Bryan Fischer’s latest bug-eyed loony rant, I realized I was going to run out of adjectives; blatantly racist, bigoted, ignorant, hateful, creepy, xenophobic, etc. etc.

Fischer’s premise here is that Latinos are “socialists by nature,” who want open borders so they can bring in their huge families to “plunder the wealth of the United States.” And that’s why we have to stop them from coming in and “clamp down on immigration,” because they’ll vote for Democrats.

You won’t believe it. This one’s nuts even by Fischer’s already very low standards.

Its a well known fact that socialism is a genetically determined trait.

Dear Mr. Fischer,

Please take your anti-Latino and anti-Catholic beliefs and shove them up your ass. Your poisoning of people's minds will leave you with plenty to answer for when you are called to account for your life before Jesus.

So why won't they just roll over and vote GOP?

Fischer’s premise here is that Latinos are “socialists by nature,”

That's funny, I thought Latinos had a strong family structure by nature, and that's why they were just itching to jump ship for the GOP.

You'd think the director of the American Family Association would know that.

Corporations Calling To ‘Fix The Debt’ Want $134 Billion In Tax Breaks

Ahead of negotiations over the so-called “fiscal cliff” and what promises to be another fight over raising the debt ceiling, 63 CEOs representing the largest U.S. corporations, including several Wall Street firms, launched a campaign to supposedly “fix the debt.” However, this campaign calls for additional corporate tax cuts by switching the U.S. to what’s known as a “territorial” corporate tax system, along the lines of that proposed by Mitt Romney.

According to a report by Institute for Policy Studies, the corporations involved could gain up to $134 billion in windfalls if Congress approves such a system, which exempts foreign earnings from the U.S. corporate income tax:

– The 63 companies that are publicly held could gain up to $134 billion in windfalls. The biggest potential winner is General Electric, which would earn $35.7 billion on its overseas earnings of $102 billion.

Poll: Latino Republican Sen-Elect Ted Cruz Received No Boost From Latinos

After President Obama cleaned house among Latino voters last week, Republicans are already considering how they can reach out to this growing demographic that showed little interest in what the GOP was selling this election cycle. Polling data from the state of Texas, where Latino Republican Sen-elect Ted Cruz was on the ballot, suggests that Republicans will not be able to close this gap simply by running Hispanic candidates. Although there is no exit polling from Texas in the 2012 election, polling data from Latino Decisions indicates that Texas Latinos overwhelmingly favored Cruz’ opponent:

Last time I checked close to 60 percent of America's immigration is made up of Mexicans who come here to work in the American free-market. Many are the backbone of America's agri-business who bust their asses to support their families here and back home in Mexico. Roofers, carpenters, truck drivers, cooks, bus boys, waitresses, too many to list. The initial immigration trends were nurtured by greedy American businessmen and women to increase profits in this highly competitive free-market. It is because of these immigrant that many of them have become so wealthy. So a hardy fuck you to Bryan Fischer and his kind!

Exhibit A of why it has long since faded is at the top of this thread.

Throw in English Only laws, opposition to the DREAM Act, hateful laws like SB1070 in Arizona, birtherism (even against Republicans like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz!), the Minutemen militia types, "self-deportation" and all the anti-Latino rhetoric on the right and it will be a long, long time before the GOP wins the Latino vote on a national level unless they exile cavemen like Fischer.

Tennessee Restaurant Infested with Snakes

It's disgusting, sure, but not exactly a surprise when restaurants find critters like cockroaches and mice and rats infesting an eatery's kitchen or walls. One animal you certainly don't expect to see: snakes.

That's just what TV show host Ben Vaughn saw at the Pig-N-Whistle in Millington, Tennessee, the Huffington Post tells us. Vaughn, a restaurant consultant, was filming the Food Network show "Health Inspectors" when he spotted a garden snake in the corner of the restaurant.

The serpents wasn't a very new resident, either: A layer of skin sat right next to the snake, meaning the animal had been hanging out long enough to shed at least once.

On the show, which hasn't aired yet, Vaughn will try to help the restaurant exterminate its pests and pass its next inspection.

Or how about this example. In Michigan, Rick Snyder and the Tea Party legislature eliminated the State tax deduction for paying city taxes to Detroit. So if you work in Detroit and pay city taxes on your income, you now have to pay State income tax on the taxes you paid to Detroit.

Rios: 'One of the Most Tragic Results' of the Gay Rights Movement is 'the Gay Community Itself'

Rios argued that homosexuality itself causes depression, high suicide rates and violence and that a “tragic” consequence of the gay rights movement “is the gay community itself,” which she described as a dysfunctional and sad place. LaBarbera, meanwhile, said that the “the Glee kiss that was on national TV” told him “that America was in deep, deep trouble” as gay rights supporters are “taking away the natural revulsion that most people have or used to have toward homosexual behavior.”

I can't see why a gay person could possibly be depressed when they such loving Christians telling them they're dirty sinners who are destroying America and will rot in hell for eternity and "regular" people are naturally revolted by them.

Exhibit A of why it has long since faded is at the top of this thread.

Throw in English Only laws, opposition to the DREAM Act, hateful laws like SB1070 in Arizona, birtherism (even against Republicans like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz!), the Minutemen militia types, "self-deportation" and all the anti-Latino rhetoric on the right and it will be a long, long time before the GOP wins the Latino vote on a national level unless they exile cavemen like Fischer.

Besides, Latinos are 2 to 1 pro-choice. (I read that somewhere today.) So this concept that they are a natural fit with Republicans is just another falsehood. One that our Governor Martinez, a former Democrat, fell for.

So he wants to be paid with a gold coin, based on the price of gold, which only has a printed value of $50 on its face, but it worth $1900 based on the gold content. Either he wants to be paid for the $1900 dollar value, which means he'll actually need to sell it to a gold broker at the actual going price and use that money to pay his bills, or we wants his pay to be made of the $50 gold coins, so lets say for example he earned $500, meaning 10 gold coins, which is $19k of gold by content.

Two semi-obscure facts about gold..

1) For the last 30 years, the price of gold has been tied to the slope of India's GDP. India is the world's biggest buyer of gold, mostly for jewelry. As Indian GDP and thus incomes go, so does the demand and price for gold.

2) 2500 tonnes of new gold are mined every year. That is a lot of ounces.

I agree. Actually that's exactly why I put the word in quotes. Now a Democratic Congress and Senate could lame him up. By that I mean IF the very very Democratic houses start pushing Obama to the left. Many on the left feel he is too far right/too centrist/too "Rockwell Republican in blackface".

Right, so at $1500 per ounce it takes what $150 billion just to buy the new gold, let alone the existing gold that is already on the market that might switch hands.

That is about 3% of the amount of gold already available for investment every year, which is not much different than the rate of inflation.

If the U.S. government ends up careening off the "fiscal cliff," Republicans in Congress stand to shoulder most of the blame, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

A majority of Americans said in a new, post-election poll that they do not expect President Barack Obama and members of Congress to reach an agreement to avoid the effects of the fiscal cliff, the combination of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to take effect at the beginning of the year.

Fifty-three percent of Americans said Republicans in Congress would be more to blame in that instance, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in the days following the election. Twenty-nine percent said that Obama would be more to blame, while 10 percent said both the president and Republicans would share blame.

Republicans just don't understand that having a Spanish surname does not automatically give a candidate street cred with Hispanic voters. Cruz, despite his dad's Cuban birth, is about as plain vanilla Establishment white as he can be. I can understand why Hispanic voters (especially non-Cubans) would be lukewarm to his candidacy.

Maybe political viewpoints are more important than a candidate's ethnicity now, ya think?

Does anyone know if Cruz speaks Spanish?
