May 1, the illegal aliens are marching in SoCal, and it's time once again to say my say:

The Mexicans will be our Palestinians. They'll move here in droves, declare themselves a people, and demand control of the land they've been "peacefully occupying for thousands of years."

That's what I snarked last year. This year, a short, old Mexican woman, probably non-English-speaking and illiterate, was seen with a sign at the L.A. illegal alien march reading "We Are Palestinians." Who the hell told her about Palestinians? How did she make the connection? What convergence was responsible for that?

Ignore at our peril.

They look so eager to embrace our way of life and values// who wouldn't support open borders? sarc.

No Che-themed Google logo for May Day?

Every freaking poor person from Africa to China would invade us. Talk about turning our country into pure squalor! Do they really want to live like that?

Pathetic really. Reminds me of the Eccentric French party that demands the resoration of the french monarchy. Must really suck to see your whole entire Philosophy (communism) first disintergrate and then you just become a laughing stock and a joke.

Ok
The paper mache football player Che was interesting.

The World without Borders sign was so passe though.

The Free Mumia sign was artistically challenged.

The Che signs in general were uninspired.

There were no furby designer outfits, which is another negative in my book.

All in all, I rate this a 2 out of 10 in terms of moonbat protest attractiveness.

Communists and illegals and hippies, oh my!

Re: Guy with yellow solidarity shirt

I hate when swindling Leftists exappropriate the slogan Solidarity for Marxist propaganda purposes. First of all, it has nothing to do with the real solidarity that animated the Polish Catholic anti-communist labor movement. Secondly, my experience with Leftists is that once they manage to get into a position of power, solidarity is the last thing on their mind.

Guess who else didn't like capitalism?

Who Said This?

“We are Socialists, enemies, mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, with its injustice in wages, with its immoral evaluation of individuals according to wealth and money instead of responsibility and achievement, and we are determined under all circumstances to abolish this system!”

A quote from?

Adolf Hitler in his May Day Speech, Berlin, 1 May 1927
(quoted by John Toland in his book Adolf Hitler, 1976, p. 306.

No one here in New Orleans cares about mayday.

One consistent thing about the Left, they never give up. No matter how many Marxist governments fail, no matter how many people die, no matter how many communist economies collapse, no matter the corruption, the opression, the brutality and enforcd stupidity, the Left is always eager to try again.

Her husband might still be here today if he did the right thing and not been a coward and avoided his hearing. People liker her blame it others for thier own irresponsibilty.

Criminey.

I got off work here in San Francisco today, and walking to BART (subway/train) I was behind a bunch of Latino guys in their 20s with their "Unconditional Amnesty" T-shirts.

I passed them by on the sidewalk; and then muttered LOUDLY: Donde esta la migra quando lo necessitamos? (Where is Immigration when you need them?).

A couple of them turned around and sneered at me. Fine. Don't care. But one looked menacing, so I followed up with "I hope you don't think America is like SF - it's not".

My other observation is that at all these rallies, there are these ANSWER posters, all convenienly made in advance with the little Spanish slogans. They are carried at all these events, usually by protein-deficient white lefties who have no idea what they say.

Wouldn't it be fun to put out a bunch of Spanish ANSWER posters that said, in Spanish "Fuck illegals", or "Stop taking jobs from American workers".

Well, you get the drift.

Tomorrow, I have to send my boss a list of departmental policies that ensure that NO ONE in San Francisco government (where I work) will do anything to help Immigration do their job.

I think I said this last May Day. When I was a kid, we made May baskets out of colored paper and paper doilies, put little bunches of spring flowers in them, and left them at everyone's door. I really loved doing that.

And we did the May pole thing at school every year. So it's phallic - we didn't know that at the time! It was fun.

Commies can bite me.

scott in east bay, I don't know how you do it.

I think it was San Fran, where the folks who were part of the welfare to work during the Clinton years, tried to organize.

California was gorgeous when I visited, but that was enough for me.

The interesting thing is that Mexico has very strict border enforcement in the south. People who try to enter Mexico illegally are thrown in jail. But in the good old USA, we give our illegals drivers licenses and welfare. And if they have children here, they get to stay because the baby is an American citizen automatically. All because of people like those at the San Francisco rally. Idiots.

My mistake.

The funniest thing is that everyone's favorite communist, Che Guevara, reportedly hated Mexicans and described them to his friends as basically dumb, uneducated trash. He felt the same way about Bolivians incidentally.

The San Francisco version was even more Mexican, while still retaining the Marxist flavor. I heard hardly any English. The sense of entitlement among these thieves and brigands never fails to amaze me.

Marxicans. I hate 'em.

What were all of these goobers doing in the 90s?

And where were they when Elian Gonzalez was deported?

BZ, were you too stoned to remember?

I can report on the march here in Chicago, since it went right past my office.

LOTS of Mexican flags. Groups of red-flag wavers (obviously from the IWWP and other communist organizations) interspersed at strategic intervals. A few Che banners. There were many American flags, but half were not carried in any respectful manner, but were draped over shoulders and wrapped around waists like ragged towels.

A cacophony of Mexican chants filled the air: "La raza!" and the old saw "Si su puede!"

No violence, but a definite "in-your-face" taunt that said: "We are here and there's nothing you can do about it!"

It was an insult to my country. It was an insult to my family (who came here legally, played by the rules, and became citizens); it was an insult to the rule of law.

I have a question: What law can I break that, not only will I not be punished for, but will be rewarded for, as well?

hahah,, were those homemande WWE wrestling masks? really, just looking at those faces, and the different signs, it was liks "come-protest-what-ever-you-can-think-of-day" no matter if it is real, imagined and facts do not matter and the less you actually KNOW about your chosed "cause" the better.

It's not just Bush it's the soldiers, too-

Oh, wait. Sorry. I saw those anarchists for no borders and got a little confused.

So, it looks like they've improved their execution some this time. I didn't see any Cesear Chavez posters, which means someone got the memo that he was against illegal immigration. Plenty of U.S. flags this time too.
Of course, this time they were a lot more blatant about just being a bunch of socialist bed wetters who desperately want a nanny state that will bend over backwards to supply citizenship, free health care, education and welfare to people who don't deserve it.

Personally, I'd like to think that all the College freshman douchebags will find these pictures of themselves in five years and wonder what the hell they were thinking. Unfortunately I fear that instead they will merely grow into the older hippies funneling misguided youth into the Rebellion Du Jour in order to try and justify all the lame causes they've wasted their lives 'believing in'.
Like the teachers out here in Tucson who walked out of class with their students...

Since they love Mexico so much - why don't they just go back?

As for Che - he was a thief and a murderer. Even his buddy Castro turned against him - and had him killed. Then Castro turned him into Cuba's Jesus. Whenever I see anyone wearing a reminder of Che, I shake my head in dismay. How could so many "smart" people be so ignorant?

My favorite reading from the 24-Hour book is for today, 01 May:

All material things, the universe, the world, even our bodies, may be Eternal Thought expressed in time and space. The more the physicists and astronomers reduce matter, the more it becomes a mathematical formula, which is thought. When Eternal Thought expresses itself within the framework of space and time, it becomes matter. Our thoughts, within the box of space and time, cannot know anything firsthand, except material things. But we can deduce that outside the box of space and time is Eternal Thought, which we can call G_d.

Guinea's dirty dancing backlash
[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]

Men in Guinea's capital have begun attacking women who they accuse of doing the popular buttock-swinging Wolosso dance from Ivory Coast.

Teenagers wearing skirts or hipsters, associated with Wolosso, which partly expose their buttocks and midriff have been stripped naked and beaten up.

The attacks follow a performance by an Ivorian Wolosso group last week.

The provocative dance is considered by many in the mainly Muslim West African country to be pornographic.

Craze

The police have confirmed a few cases of alleged rape committed by the rampaging youths and more than 30 men have been detained in connection with the violence.

Young Guinean girls and African women in general should not dress themselves like European girls

Conakry resident

Some girls refuse to go to the Bambeto and Cosa suburbs of the capital, Conakry, for fear of being a target.

Others have resorted to donning the long traditional wraps to avoid incurring their wrath.

The craze for Wolosso music and the dress style adopted by fashionable teenagers and women in the capital has become a hot topic of debate.

"Young Guinean girls and African women in general should not dress themselves like European girls," one man told the BBC.

One woman decried "this Wolosso business".

"In a Muslim country like ours, we should not be watching and imitating these music videos. I advise threaten all girls and women to dress themselves in proper clothes."

Not only useful idiots, dual-purpose idiots as well.

By 5:15 the crowd was huge. I could see the cops were a little bit overwhelmed as the parade commenced down Broadway and was spilling into traffic on 14th Street. I waded in to get a couple of shots and had to get the hell out of there because it felt a little stampede-ish.

I agree they are not for everyone. I liked how they took country and western, folk, bluegrass, and turned them into rock and roll.

Sorry I came on a little strong there but they made me realize that you don't have to keep up with the material crowd to be happy. I wouldn't trade my life now for the life I had before I saw them for the first time.

I do often wonder, how come the immigration
reform supporters, some of whom are reasonable,
accept the piling on of the boatload of
loony left causes. What has that alleged
Palistinian child corpse to do with May Day?

My suspicion is that groups like ANSWER
seed leaders, or otherwise make nice to
"tolerant" folks: thus, ANSWER calls for
a pro-immigration rally, and all their
affiliates understand that they should
turn out, too. Evidence to support or
refute?

And their lyricist John Perry Barlow is a big figure in the anti-copyright movement, which does not endear him to me.

Thats funny considering the dead were at the forefront of allowing people to tape their concerts.

There is a huge tape exchange network out there where you can get pretty much any concert they played from someone.

Sorry, first night of golf league tonight, the eyes are alittle affected by the liquid refreshments during my round.

I wonder how they made big money from taping, it was and still is very free wheeling crowd.

Fellow LGFers,

I might be off topic and I hate to sound ignorant, but I am kinda new to LGF and was wondering if there is way to read the comments as they are posted, a way to have the comments refresh as they appear. I keep having to go back and then start over when I want to read new posts.

I mean we put a man on the moon, there should be a way to do this...I just have no clue what it is.

Mexico lost these territories in a war. Unjust? Perhaps...though I doubt Mexico would have stepped out of the Third World if they had kept these lands, lands they claimed due only to earlier Spanish conquests. And no, I don't buy into the mythical land of Aztlan being in the American Southwest or the racist la raza shit. Oh, the Aztecs and the other great nations of Mexico were bloodthirsty conquerers, i.e., thieves.

As a legal immigrant, I have to say that these so-called "protests" make me outraged and disgusted.
When in the old country, I applied for a permanent resident visa and waited for it patiently for a cuple of years, then paid for a plane ticket, then waited for five years to apply for citizenship, then took the citizenship exam and waited for the oath for months. All that time I was working hard, studying hard and paying taxes. Meanwhile, all these so-called "immigrants" did was run across the border, work illegally, not pay taxes and send money back to their country, and now they make me learn another language and today they block traffic when I'm trying to drive and demand "equal rights"? I spit on them!

You said it, although I don't use the "k" word, I agree. When some leftist (and a few rightists) start talking about overpopulation, I say, "You know, you're right...and I think you should do something about it...something substantial...something personal...something that says to the whole world, "I'm not a hypocrite." Most of the time, however, they don't even understand I'm suggesting they reduce the population by one, and not someone else. That's how dumb they are.

#217:

From IHT, cited back to US Dept. of Labor:

California harvests about half the nation's fruits, nuts and vegetables — a massive undertaking that requires about 225,000 workers year-round — double that during the peak summer season. More than half are immigrants who cross the Mexican border illegally and travel from field to field picking some 400 different crops that each ripen at different times.

That's reality, and just a slice of it in
California. It's caused by a lot of
things: a motivation by these
farm laborers to work their tails off to
better the lot of their children,
the irrestistible lure of work that
needs doing, and USians who demand The
Lowest Price from Apples to Zucchini.

They pay taxes, directly in sales taxes,
indirectly because whomever pays them has
to pay income tax, because the illegal expense is not deductible as a business expense.

As a bonus for their hard work, they get to
live in the shadows of society, so they
won't get too uppity. /sarc

Some of them drive cars and trucks, but can't get insurance despite a willingness to pay.

I agree that anti-assimilation expressed by
refusal to learn English is a serious problem.

Mixed in with that stream of farm laborers,
1 of every N is a bad guy.

I'm sorry you had to wait so long for your
turn. But, you too could have come immediately if you wanted to trade away
your standard of living and civil rights.

I would be happy to give civil rights,
and English lessons (still the lingua
franca of the higher economic rungs),
and some more direct tax responsibility,
to immigrant farm laborers. Some will be liars, but we will have record of their
entry. And we'll know that border sneaks
are REAL bad guys. (well, there's that
war on drugs thing, but that's another
story...)

The left feels kinship with lost causes because they share that same doomed feeling of futility and humiliation. The Modern Left knows that with the fall of the Soviet Union, the Capitalization of China, dtirrings of successful modernization in India, Mexico and much of the old Soviet block and the defection of the best minds (Hitchens, Podhertz, Kristol, et al) they are no longer the “Modern Left”, they are merely “What’s Left”. It has never been more apparent that their ideas are mawkish, cheap and unworkable.
[Link: breathofthebeast.blogspot.com...]

The girlfriend wanted to know what Willow was doing at the immigration rally today...

Freedom of thought... while we still have it...

Let me begin by saying I love immigrants!

I myself am from an immigrant family. (most of us are)

However, I stand beside myself seeing this spew of hate of our government... our laws?

I see the power in numbers, the power of voice. I have a few points to make, a few questions to raise?

Living in the freest nation in the history of the world!
If we as human beings, as Americans (and we welcome all)
want to keep this flame of freedom alive, must we not protect it, and not let it be smothered by a rush of ILLEGAL immigrants from any border? What about all the immigrants from all over the world who go through the system?

Are we not cheating those who truly believe in the American Dream, a dream of freedom, rule of law, justice for all?!
(not selective justice for some)

Again I feel that immigrants make this society stronger, better, and add to the cultural fabric of our society. I only wonder, I am amazed at the many who voice the distaste in our governments laws, voice their freedom of speech, their right to free associate in this country and yet refuse to do so in their country of origin?

People make change! It seems easy to bitch... Hard to act...

I am amazed at how unified and vocal people are around change in this country, and how silent people are in other nations.

Yes, we have a wonderful system of civil liberties and freedom, but it was paid for by blood!

I fear that those who raise their voice in freedom of voice, have no will to pay for it in blood.

The paradox comes when no one is willing to pay in blood, then all voices of freedom will be silent.

If people wield so much power in numbers, why has a nation not risen to dwarf the United States?

Governments bitch, diplomats complain, leaders point out injustice... (fine) DO BETTER!

Show the United States how it done!

Revolt and show the US how bad we are, by example! (until then please...)

I will be the first to move to a more free society if it ever arises, im not holding my breath.

A possible solution to the moonbat/media/illegal alien problem occurred to me while I was perusing these pics: Communism.

Yes, that's right. I think we should all get boned up on Marxist-Leninist theory and the Dialectic and form our own communist party, the Commmunist Party of the Republic.
This would be basically Stalinist. In contrast to the Trotskyites who inform most of what passes for the left these days, this would have a high tolerance for free enterprise. We would benefit from the mistakes of the past of course and
try to get by without the unfortunate penchant for mass murder and other unpleasantness that characterized earlier Stalinist efforts at a progressive state.

As commies we would have a special license from the media establishment to advocate all sorts of otherwise unacceptable and politically incorrect positions, such as the mass deportation of illegals, the liberation of Iraq and, later, Cuba. (Marx himself endorsed the US conquest of Mexico in the 1840s and was seriously disappointed that it wasn't permanent).
We could also make a major push to affirm and expand the right of the people to keep and bear arms (libs would see this as a whole different ballgame if it were prescribed by nominal Reds).

It would also be easier for us to confiscate the assets of capitalist pigs who collaborate with Islamic fascists, Mexican invaders, or Chinese revanchists. The commisariat of nationalized McDonald's franchises would compete with a separate commisariat of Burger King, for example.

The main benefit would be the opportunity to get rid of sadly broken tools like the ones on display in Union Square.
The idea of a Rocky Mountain gulag for them is kind of hackneyed, though. A friend of mine suggested Martha's Vineyard instead. It is secure, has lots of room for slave labor industries, and we wouldn't have to transport the Kennedys very far.

11 song_and_dance_man 5/01/2007 5:40:55 pm PDT

and then for these moonbats to call it an Apartheid Wall.

Nothing like using a charged term "Apartheid wall" whose meaning has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. The Apartheid was about separate rights for whites and blacks in Africa. The U.S. is a country for crying out loud. Like all countries, we have borders. One crosses the border, and one is in a different country.

It's as if the pro open borders people think that the U.S., Mexico, and everything south of it is already one big country. Like they can just will it to be. How dare we try to put up an "aparthied wall" to keep some people of the one big country separate from others.

They use a charged term like "Apartheid wall" because it invokes emotion in people who don't even know what it means but it sounds really bad.

#225 Ocelot, responding to #217 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican:

and USians who demand The
Lowest Price from Apples to Zucchini.

"USians"? Please, your appeal for the poor migrant workers lost its entire impact on me with your refusal to use the term "American."

I'm sorry you had to wait so long for your
turn. But, you too could have come immediately if you wanted to trade away
your standard of living and civil rights.

Yeah, you should have flown to Mexico, paid a Coyote money and sneak into this country. Then on May Day, you can march in the streets, wave you nation-of-origin's flag and arrogantly demand legalization. Great fucking advice, Ocelot.

And speaking of standard of living and civil rights, why don't these Third Worlders spend their time changing the backward natures of their "glorious" nations back at home? No, I guess living with 15 other illegal aliens in a small rental house or apartment and washing dishes in the States and/or undercutting construction jobs for USians, er, Americans and sending money home is far easier, for them and for the corrupt elites at home.

They pay taxes

I pay taxes, too. And I have a legitimate social security number, unlike the poor, poor illegal aliens, who use social security numbers that don't belong to them.

I agree that anti-assimilation expressed by
refusal to learn English is a serious problem.

Well, wonders never cease. We actually agree on something!

#217

Legal immigrant here also. Cost me lots of money and waiting time so yeh, these illegals REALLY PISS ME OFF TOO! The laws about being granted automatic citizenship because a person is born here need to be changed. It needs to be changed so that if the parent(s)is/are illegal, so is the kid.

It just galls me that they have the balls to go out and protest touting their "illegality". I sure hope someone from Immigration was there taking names and pictures.

217 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican 5/01/2007 7:42:03 pm PDT

All that time I was working hard, studying hard and paying taxes.

You are an example of the kind of immigrants that make our country better and stronger. We have enough usable land left to probably fit 10 times more houses on. There is a difference however, in the number of people we can fit into the U.S. and the number of people we can handle that are more of a drain to our overall tax base than a benefit to it. We need for new immigrants to be able to at minimum be self-sufficient and able to take care of their own family members they either bring with them or give birth to.

If those coming in can't pay enough taxes to atleast offset the amount of infrastructure and resources they and their family members they bring in use, then they are more of a drain than a benefit. Ideally, we need people coming in that will not only be self-sufficient but that can pay enough taxes to help support others. We already have a huge number of people on social welfare programs, in prison, etc..and the boomers going on SS is going to be painful to the taxpayers. This is why we need to be bringing in people that add to the tax base overall, rather than drain it.

Sure, bring in 10 times more people than we have already because we probably have the land to fit them in. That doesn't mean we have 10 times the resources such as oil and infrastructure such as roadways. When the price of gas goes up due to increased demand from increased population and new roads and such need to be built, then we need those that add to the tax base overall rather than drain it.

#225 Ocelot 5/01/2007 8:34:15 pm PDT

They pay taxes, directly in sales taxes,
indirectly because whomever pays them has
to pay income tax, because the illegal expense is not deductible as a business expense

If the illegal expense in not deductible, then how is the employer paying income tax for that illegal employee? The employer would not be paying SS taxes, disability insurance, or any other taxes because it's all under the radar.

As far as sales taxes, there is no way that a couple making minimum wage can pay enough sales taxes to offsett the amount of infrastructure and resources they are using. I lived and worked in a border town for 7 years and there is no way that those illegals were paying enough in sales taxes to offset the cost of their use of the hospitals alone much less the cost of education, public housing, and "the lonestar card" which is for free groceries.

I could not make myself watch the entire slideshow. I will not inflict my senses with more moonbat visuals and rhetoric.
They are incapable of changing.
For at least the last 5 years the same loons have been spouting the same dreck. The only real change has been an increase in their crudeness.

I hope everyone here knows about NumbersUSA at www.numbersusa.com. You can sign up for pre-addressed, free faxes to all our "representatives" and tell them you don't want amnesty for these criminal tresspassers. Californians can also fax and email our state "representatives" at www.capsweb.org and express opposition to any number of initiatives that want to give more and more and more government largesse and favors to illegals.

Please everyone, take the time to sign up and use the systems. They have proven quite effective at stopping amnesty again and again.

Wow all the Grateful Dead intolerance, I personally am offended. I seen them 48 times, I own my own business, take a bath every day,have short hair and contribute to this great country every day.

Not every deadhead is some dreadlocked, no job, non bathing hippie freak. Any one else you would like to insult today?

Didn't one of them die and no one follows them around anymore?

Dumbasses

I've come up with a hippie slideshow drinking game:

1. One drink every time you see or hear the word "struggle".

2. Two drinks when you see or hear the phrase "truth to power".

3. Take a sip for each mention of the word "workers".

4. A sip for every photo or mention of Che or Mumia.

As my friend just said to me, "Workers of the World unite in the struggle, and speak truth to power! Workers! P.S. Free Mumia!"

Yeah, I kind of guessed before I even opened the slideshow that there would be some kind of "Free Mumia" sign somewhere in the mix.

Speaking of Mumia, here are his thoughts on the Virginia Tech Massacre (it's his words, but I think someone else is reading it). I think Mumia's just upset that Cho Seung-Hui didn't shoot any cops.

Old Reds never die. They crawl into education and pollute young minds. They infest the media. Look at the NYT if you can bear to. Is it any less one-sided than Pravda, Tass and Isveztia in their heyday?

Communists will always have a constituency among the uneducated, and the lazy kind of poor They have taken back pretty well all of South America which will now join Africa in its downward slide into economic oblivion that Marxism always brings, no exceptions.

Even after what amounted to a controlled experiment, East vs West Germany. or communism vs capitalism, leftists are incapable of learning what works.

Despite the fact that people try to escape FROM communist countries, even at the cost of their lives, NEVER TO them, lefties don't register the evidence in front of their blinkered eyes.

The day people are lined up to escape the United States instead of breaking into it illegally is the day we'll know we're doing something wrong.

What a bunch of idiots.
We had some noisy twits 'demonstrating' yesterday in Central London. There weren't many of them and not as colourful as your crowd in the US. I had to walk through a gauntlet of socialist wollies trying to make me sign an 'Anti-war petition against the number one terrorist Bush', very annoying. I was in a rush and didn't have time to argue (last time a group of students were trying to get me to sign a petition against the arms trade. I cheerfully asked where could I sign a petition FOR the arms trade, saying 'It's a growth industry').

#243 Siiras/#217 PNCitizen: MY great-grandmother and her sister came from poverty-rampant Sweden LEGALLY to the Oregon Territories; met the men who'd paid their boat-fare and train-tickets and expenses; married them, and carved out a LEGAL life there and in western Washington.

My father, by contrast, had a goodly chunk of Amerindian heritage, although we never learned how much or why... one of those 'family-story' inside-things...

Grandpa served as a Doughboy in WWI, Dad an aircraft repairman in England, WWII and Korean War; and our family helped LEGAL immigrants and Americans as long as I can remember!

Subverting our laws, rationalizing the easy way, pretending that having 'them' here is okay or right or good... THIS is the same poison as slavery: it is a rattlesnake, waiting to bite us one and all!

We betray our own immigrant forebears and today's LEGAL immigrants when we wink or pish-tush the ILLEGALS who come to America for WHATEVER motive: do it LEGALLY or DON'T DO IT!

And KNOW FOR A FACT that America's enemies send their agents into America through those same porous borders!

#10 squarepeg
That's what I snarked last year. This year, a short, old Mexican woman, probably non-English-speaking and illiterate, was seen with a sign at the L.A. illegal alien march reading "We Are Palestinians." Who the hell told her about Palestinians? How did she make the connection? What convergence was responsible for that?

She was an ignorant tool of the left, sucking up whatever propaganda they feed her.

About twenty years ago, I was on the way to visit some friends in Washington DC, when I passed through some kind of left-wing rally on the Mall. I don't remember whether it was "No Nukes" or "Workers Rights" or whatever, but the whole moteley crew coalition was out in force. Some guy from the American Indian Movement got up on stage- I expected a rant against US/Indian treaty violations or somwthing similar- instead, the guy used his ENTIRE time at the mike to rant against Israel and for the Arabs.

At first, it made no sense to me that a guy with an obvious issue would ignore it in favor of something totally irrelevant, but then I realized that he was paying his dues to the left.

You want to be a member of their coalition and get their goodies and resources, you bash Israel as the price of admission.

The perversion of reality continues.

What a bunch of losers! Guess their marches national were a flop for them red diaper doper babies.

Off topic...Gov. Duvel of Taxachusetts is mulling a foreclosure moratorium in Mass. for all them overvalued and underfunded foreclosure properties...

Coming to California soon.

Yes, I can see it now...no foreclosures, no mortgage, no rent, we can squat all we want for nothing...

As an ex-hippy/SDS/leftie, I always enjoy it when Zombie or someone takes slides of the protest, any protest. Of course, I was usually stoned way back then, and attending protests was probably not much more than a ruse to get the "long-haired babes." [not really probably]

As I have matured, become a husband and father, I can only laugh at these things. I thought I was sincere then. Now...

"If you are under 30 and are not a socialist, you have no heart; if you are over 30 and are still a socialist, you have no brain."

Don't remember who said it, but it fits a lot of people I know.

#23 teacake:

what i want to know is does my illegal european citizen friend get automatic legal statis as well? Or is this race based bias?

As long as the Culture of Incumbancy rules American politics, the issue of immigration will continue to have a race bias. The birth rate among Latinos, in particular, means that any immigration reform (read: Amnesty) will be all about Latinos. For an ambitious Latino politician (Villagairosa, Guttierrez: heck, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Obama claim to be Latino!) it's a way of setting up a New World Order: one where preferences towards Latinos will be the norm.

Anyone else see the beautiful irony in this man's YELLOW shirt?

I popped open a cold one and thanked the Good Lord Above yesterday that I no longer live in "Aztlan."

Isn't there more than a little irony in all those signs in Spanish? Hey, kiddies! Spanish is the language of the imperialist conquistadores that was imposed on glorious, peace-loving native peoples! Where are all the signs in Nahuatl and Quechua and Aymara? Or are you just too f**king lazy to do your homework?

I also loved the bumper stickers on sale clamoring for Puerto Rican independence. Someone forget to get the memo to the Puerto Ricans themselves, who keep voting in referenda for status quo or statehood by an 85% margin. But never mind what they, themselves actually want... we, The Party, will TELL them what to want!

Is that a photo of Mr Burns?

Here's another hippie getting her come-uppance:

Anti war activist Joan Baez questions why she can't sing at Walter Reed

Uh . . . maybe cause today's soldiers are onto you, you hairy moonbat fossil.

The strategy to shape the arguments to fit their reality is obvious.
Illegal immigration = workers rights
Defense wall = apartheid
etc...

But I did enjoy the 14th picture, MayDayUnionSquare018.jpg. Oh la la.

These events always remind me of a quote from Animal House:

Otter: No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

What do you call a white chick with dreadlocks?

Oh yeah...a POSEUR.

Who is going to hire all these illegals when they are made legal and demand 3x what they are getting paid now...no one! Just like last time, you need a new crop of under paid illegals to work picking crops. The new "legalized" ones just get to suck of my 36 years of SS payments. I am of the mind that at some point when Congress leaves for vacation, we should just not let them back in the building!

Ahh... communism...

Nothing better to wake up in the morning in the freezing apartment and prepare a cup of fake coffee made from anything but coffee beans, spread a watery butter on your bread and run through the door to catch the overloaded bus, who instead of the scheduled 15 minutes is coming every hour.

Or to enter the university gate, where teachers check your hair length and later check your political knowledge of Marx & Engels dogma, sex/smoke/pot/drink/freedom of association being putrid capitalist habits.
