View Full Version : can hispanics be loyal american citizens?
thumper 04-18-2006, 12:59 PM By and large, they seem to favor illegal immigration to the detriment of everyone else. Are they, like the Muslims, more loyal to 'la Raza' than they are to their host country? The PC nutters will keep telling us, when it is convenient, that despite the multi-culti indoctrination program "we're all Americans".
And yet when the rubber meets the road, when we have our very first REAL TEST, this multi-cult immediately breaks down along ethnic lines. All told there were around a million protestors who came out of the woodwork. And despite the media bs that tried to zoom on the singular American flag amidst the SEA of mexican or south America ones, or the cover up of pro-mexican nuremburg style rallies that call for 'killing all gringos', it's really not hard to see what's going on here.
either they are intellectually incapable to understand that flooding the country with a desperate working class ONLY BENEFITS THE CORPORATIONS and LOWERS YOUR WAGE, or underneath it all they really have been harbouring ambitions of a 'reconquista'.
discuss.
soylentgreen 04-18-2006, 01:06 PM I know there are some hispanics who are also loyal Americans. I can't say what the percentage may be. But, it seems there is a disproportionate number of them that identify themselves primarily by their ethnicity rather than their country.

No strawman about it, buddy. You are making sweeping generalizations about the nature of Hispanics and their collective motivation within your country. It is perfectly valid to ask you if you've ever actually met one, especially since you insist on cloaking your rhetoric in the language of some imagined "invasion".
That's some invasion if you've managed to never actually meet one of the so-called "invaders".
Guido 04-18-2006, 01:25 PM A disproportionately high percentage of soldiers killed in Iraq are hispanic. I don't suppose that thumper, who is of mililtary age and sits around posting racist crap about hispanics not being loyal Americans, would have the balls to actually question a hispanic Marine's loyalty to his face. Of course not.

Jay GW 04-18-2006, 01:30 PM want some facts about what Hispanic Americans and Mexicans in particular think?
-------
"There is a racial aspect to this," said Glynn Custred, professor of anthropology at California State University, East Bay.
"They have no intention of assimilating," he said. "There's no secret about it. They tell you what they want to do. It's just amazing to me that the rest of the country hasn't caught on to it."
A 2002 Zogby poll of Mexicans in Mexico found that 58% believe the U.S. Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico, having been stolen from Mexico in the 1800s.
Not surprisingly, 57% believe Mexicans have the right to enter the U.S. whenever they please.
"There's sort of an irredentist sentiment," said George Grayson, professor of government and Mexico specialist at the College of William and Mary.
"One seldom hears even educated Mexicans saying the laws on border crossing should be followed," he said. "It's almost as if the U.S. has an obligation to redress its sins of the nineteenth century."
http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?artsec=16&issue=20060410
Mexicans asked:
Are Americans racist? Yes 73%
Are Americans honest? No 84%
Are Americans hard working? No 74%
http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1086
Did you fail to notice the sea of american flags in the rallys?
Don't be fooled. After being criticized and causing a backlash over the usage of Mexican flags and improper display of American flags, they got the word out to have their last stunt full of American flags. It was all for show. You're too smart to fall for that stunt.
Mandrake 04-18-2006, 01:33 PM Most mexican cats I've been friends with have been among the coolest, most laid-back people I've met. I had several good friends who were hispanic in the military (and of course when I lived in LA). A couple even had *gasp!* mexican flags in their car. But they still showed up every day, in uniform, and did their job as US service members. A lot of hard-workers too.
Personally, I had an Italian flag in my car. I guess I'm not up to Thumper's Standards of American Loyalty either.
thumper 04-18-2006, 01:34 PM if they are patriotic, they should make themselves known. i.e. mass protests.
I made this thread as a wake up call.
the hispanics need to wake up and realize they are being jerked around by the POWERS THAT BE WHICH FUNDS LA RAZA OUT OF CONGRESS.
at the same time, everyone else needs to call them on their bullshit instead of defering to their precious minority status, and pretending everything is okay.

Mandrake 04-18-2006, 01:55 PM Most legal American citizens don't rally for any cause, not only that they don't even bother to vote. A lot of legal citizens couldn't give two shits about their own country as long as they're fat, dumb and happy. Many of them actively and openly despise the US.
These immigrant-rights activists are acting like Americans in two important aspects: they are peacefully demonstrating to affect civil political change, and they are busting their ass doing hard work in order to create better lives for their families.
A lot of "native"-born American citizens could take a lesson.

yes , there are a few who have not been fooled by this commy led invasion . They don't want a new mexico here . They want to be American . But they are getting fewer by the day because of the bigotry and hate of the majaority militant racist who fly their flags and burn ours threatening them .
And it was impossible for the commy[imo] media to get even one shot of American flag flyers, without the mex flag in background . Yet people with insane denial claim otherwise .
The only reason that they changed flag in mid stream is because it was beginng to be obvious to even the most liberal supporters to defend them as non militant anti-American invaders . So they started handing out US flags , and even then alot flew the flag of invasion in the face of the sheep who who call themselves judeo-christian citizens of America . All above is my opinion .
Their has to be the spirit of evil in the air that has took this nation from the greatist Godly nation to the most vile and perverted, diverted, inverted blind citizens on earth ,along with Europe and Israel .
86Dude 04-18-2006, 02:21 PM Did you fail to notice the sea of american flags in the rallys?
They banned the protestors here from waving the scummy mexican flag in a public park. I'm not kidding. All you saw was U.S. flags.

This is a total false statement ! The biggest majority are white middle-class patriot Americans . And the black patriotic Americans are next .

They left the lies out there for the ones with itchy ears to beleive .
Population wise only about 8% [if memory is right ] latinos and less than 2% asians, muslems and all others joined our military after war or 911 . This is why when you watch any channels of lib tv or cable , they always zoom in on the minorities . Check it out next time you see one .

11.1 percent of Iraq casualties are hispanic, higher than any other ethnic group.
http://icasualties.org/oif/ETHNICITY.aspx
In 2004, according to the Houston Chronical, The casualty rate for Hispanic Texans in Iraq has been out of proportion for their population or their enlistment rate.
That is also the case for Hispanics nationally, although it's not clear why.

Do you think that these people are stupid enough to show their 'true colors ' , ' pun intended ' when they are still the minority ?
This agenda has been going on for decades or longer !
And if you fly two flags n ne country it's because you have not learned national manners or loyalty . What place would our flag have flying in Italy ? Or vice versa ?
if we visit Canada or Mexico, we have to lower our flag and fly the nations flag in all waters of host nation . If we claim to be citizens we don't fly other flags inside our nation . You can be a citizen of only one nation at a time .

Numbers Shed Light On GI Deaths In Iraq; Victims Are Older And Often In Guard Or Reserves; Toll Is High Among Women And Hispanics
By James Janega, Darnell Little and Stephen Franklin, Tribune staff reporters. Tribune national correspondent Michael Kilian contributed to this report.
September 9, 2004
Copyright © 2004 Chicago Tribune. All rights reserved.
More women have died than in any other U.S. war. Hispanics' share of the dying is high: While they represent 9 percent of the military, they have made up 12 percent of the deaths.
"You have a disproportionate share of Hispanics who volunteer for gun-toting occupations in the Army and Marines, and that's where the casualties have been," said Roberto Suro, director of the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington.
...
In fact, Hispanics have been disproportionately represented on the casualty lists in Iraq compared to other racial or ethnic groups, said Brian Gifford, a researcher with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at the University of California at Berkeley.
"Hispanic casualties are higher than expected based on their service in the military and based on their participation in combat arms specialties," said Gifford, who is studying the racial and ethnic makeup of casualties in Iraq. "Hispanics make up about 12 percent of casualties so far, but they only make up about 9 percent of active-duty military."

No, of course it isn't sincere. This thread merely provides a pretext for the poster to express his bigotry toward a minority, in this case, hispanic people. It might just as easily refer to blacks, muslims, homosexuals, etc. -- it doesn't matter, so long as it provides an occasion for the poster to express his bile, of which he has an endless supply, and expressing bile is much more important than discussing the world with other people.
The fact that the question itself is absurd -- meaning, it doesn't make contact with the real world -- indicates how thoroughly dishonest and insincere it really is.

Bile has nothing to do with feces, although now that you've brought it up, the entire thread is (not surprisingly, considering its origin) a pile of crap.
Jay GW 04-19-2006, 03:30 PM A couple of points:
* just because there are some Hispanics serving in the US military does not mean all Hispanics are in any way loyal to the US as a country.
* There are many Mexicans that have stated, including the secretary of state for Mexico, who's name is Jorge Castaneda, that the Southwest land belongs to Mexico and was taken illegally by White settlers coming from New England.
That is factually true. The revolution of Texas was a fight between Whites and the Mexican government, and the Whites won and became the ruling class. The Hispanic Mexican population of Texas did not participate in the revolution and were then shut out of running anything. So what the Mexican people say is that a traitorous group of White Mexicans, allowed to live in Texas, conspired to take the land away.
There are other factors that nobody seems to ever care about:
* the Mexican government of the 1840s was just as f**ed up as it is today, but about 10 times worse. There were takeovers by one group every other month or so and when the revolution and Mexican American war happened, a dictator was running the country (Santa Anna) who overthrew the government and declared himself a dictator.
* the White Texans shared nothing in common with Hispanics, not too far from what it's like today. They wanted to join the rest of the United States, not be part of some third world country run by a dictator.
The circumstances surrounding why Texas and California and the rest of the land came into the United States possession is the whole argument Mexicans are making for why they don't have to pay the least attention to border laws. The people that "stole" the land were Whites. Therefore their laws don't matter. That's what Native American Indians say and why they keep filing lawsuits to get land back. There's no difference.
Yes, there's about a ton and a half of Mexican racism towards White people and anyone living on the border towns can see it immediately. I've lived on the border for a very long time and have heard lots of nasty comments directed at me. The universities are full of non stop discussion about this history. Being Anglo Saxon anywhere around the border is an extremely uncomfortable experience.

No one said that. Thumper asked if Hispanics can be loyal Americans. The answer is yes.
Guido 04-19-2006, 03:41 PM * just because there are some Hispanics serving in the US military does not mean all Hispanics are in any way loyal to the US as a country.
The fake insincere question posed in the thread is "CAN hispanics be loyal American citizens?"
That means, "is it possible or conceivable that a hispanic person could be a loyal American citizen?"
The question implies that there is some reason to doubt whether this could be possible, which in turn suggests that there is something about being hispanic that precludes loyalty.
Obviously there isn't, as evidenced (for example) by the high number of hispanic people who enlist in the US military presumably to defend the country, and quite a few of them have been killed in the line of duty recently.
Because the question itself is ridiculous, it's fair to conclude that its significance is to provide the poster with an opportunity or pretext to satisfy his apparently relentless need to dump on some minority for reasons that are probably not even known to him.
Pappy&Me 04-19-2006, 03:47 PM No one said that. Thumper asked if Hispanics can be loyal Americans. The answer is yes.
Yes they can be , but it's gets harder when they are attacked by their own race for doing so . 30% of the latinos voted against medical care for illegals in Arizona, i think it was last year . But now it seems less are sticking with their nation . Ethinic pressure .:nice:

Look, ' victim ', you can't serve two countrys at once . And if they were so true to America, they would have thrown out the mexico flag waving American flag burning traitors from among them . two don't walk together who dissagee .
Java_man 04-19-2006, 04:19 PM This thread is among the dumbest thumper has created lately, and that's quite an achievement considering that thumper's threads are renowned for their lack of insight.
We have resorted to grading thumper's threads on-the-curve :hmm:

Actually, you're the victim here insofar as your posts are continually demolished almost as soon as they appear.

Self-Destructing would be more accurate ... one of the many amusments here :)
