Arnold Is CORRECT

Fornicalia Governor Arnold Schwarzennegger stepped out of his normally-more-cautious role on Friday; according to FoxNews:

Schwarzenegger, who immigrated to the U.S. from Austria, recently told a group of Hispanic journalists that immigrants should stay away from Spanish-language television, books and newspapers.

“You’ve got to turn off the Spanish television set,” Schwarzenegger said Wednesday night at the annual convention of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists in San Jose, Calif. “You’re just forced to speak English, and that just makes you learn the language faster.”

Naturally, so-called Hispanic groups bristled at the suggestion; in my opinion they can all go to Hell. Arnold is right. Want to be an American? Try this:
  • Speak like an American: learn ENGLISH, the language of success;
  • Immerse yourself in American culture, like an American;
  • OBEY THE LAWS like good Americans;
  • Respect the borders; like all Americans;
  • Fly the American flag, like good Americans;

The above items would be what one normally would term “a good start.”

Why would “Hispanic” groups and politicians object? I have a few ideas. But before that, let’s get something straight:

“Hispanics” are NOT “Hispanic.” For the most part they are MEXICANS. Mexicans are from MEXICO — you know, that country directly to our south. They are NOT “Hispanic.” For those historically-challenged: Spain CONQUERED Mexico. Mexicans are generally Indians from numerous tribes in that area: Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecs, etc. Mexicans speak SPANISH precisely because Spain CONQUERED that country.

And in many ways Mexicans are no different from a large portion of citizens born in the US: they want what they want, and they want it for free, and they want it now. They don’t want to have to do anything for it. And they don’t mind shipping a good portion of their cash BACK to the home country.

Hey Mexicans: you want to BE an American? How about this reiteration:
  • Put up a US flag.
  • Learn English.
  • Become an American citizen LAWFULLY.
  • IMMERSE yourself in OUR culture.
  • Respect OUR borders and OUR laws.

And then you really CAN be one of US.

I don’t think there’s one person reading this blog who would object to those conditions. As long as we ALSO seal BOTH our borders, north and south.

And oh, a small aside, a teeny-tiny voice of reason buried at the bottom of the article:

Rafael Olmeda, president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, said most NAHJ members would agree with the governor’s statements.

“Most people I’ve spoken to walked away believing that he was trying to say that we must learn English to succeed in American society,” Olmeda said.

ALL SIGNS in America should be in English. All official government publications should be in ENGLISH. Mexicans should stop watch TV stations and listening to radio stations broadcasting in Spanish. Here’s a suggestion: keep the content; change it to ENGLISH.

You like the country, Mexicans? Try EMBRACING it instead of trying to CHANGE IT and DISOBEYING its sovereign laws.

P.S.
Check out the above photograph; why don’t you think Arnold is standing before an Austrian flag? Another aside: my wife is Mexican. And she completely concurs.

Israel’s Huge Mistake

Israel and Western Cultures continue to make mistakes with regard to Islam.

Recent events in the Gaza Strip (essentially the warlords having taken over):

Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, on Thursday night dismissed his Hamas-led government and declared a state of emergency, although with little prospect of imposing it in the Gaza Strip after Hamas routed his Fatah loyalists there in the space of a week.
His decrees marked the end of a unity government the two parties formed in March after agreeing in Mecca on a programme to end their factional strife. In the latest round of violence, Hamas gunmen seized almost all the main Gaza bases of security forces that answer to Mr Abbas.

  • Islam is a religion of the mindless, the ignorant and the barbaric;
  • Islam is a religion of hate, murder, bloodshed, intolerance and sexism;
  • Islam respects only force;
  • Islam respects only males;

Many will excoriate me for these views; to them, likely those whose religion is Islam, I say: put your mouth, publicly, where your thoughts are. Easy to front me on my own blog. Why not stand up and stand out, and voice your thoughts in public?

Answer: because you’re a coward. You know that doing so will mark you in the eyes of your fellow Islamic brothers and cause you to fall subject to actions ranging from scorn to, literally, your declared and possible death.

So much for the “peaceful, tolerant” nature of Islam, eh?

Palestine is falling apart; Hamas and Fatah are fighting for all the cards. The above photograph shows Hamas militants in the office of “Palestinian President” Mahmoud Abbas. And further, now, Hamas has taken complete control over Fatah.

There are fears that if the fighting spreads to the West Bank, it will further weaken Abbas and ultimately stir up trouble for Jordan, said a Jordanian government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the situation’s sensitivity.
Roughly half of Jordan’s 5.5 million population is Palestinian. A Gaza-style civil war in the neighboring West Bank could spark clashes between the factions’ supporters in the kingdom — particularly in refugee camps where many support Hamas, the official said.

There will NEVER be peace in any Islamic country. EVER. It is because Islam is ruled by barbaric, nomadic, tribal men whose only goal is power and the saving, at all costs, of what the Japanese commonly term “face.” The only peace to be achieved under Islam is that which is acquired at the point of a sword, an AK-47, and by a dictator as ruthless (or moreso) as Saddam Hussein.

When will Western Cultures finally realize: you cannot reason with ignorant, barbaric cultures and religions? Everyone does not think as do Westerners.

Israel INVITED the monsters into their back yard when they acquiesced to so-called Palestinians. And what we see in the Middle East, here, now, and in Europe, is PRECISELY what we shall get in the United States if we continue to “look aside,” in terms of political correctness, and tolerate Muslims and Middle Eastern culture on our shores. Increasingly aggressive, increasingly hostile, increasingly intolerant, don’t be surprised when small enclaves of Sharia Law (Islamberg, for example) spring up across the nation. If we don’t FIGHT, and NOW, for our country, we are in fact doomed.

We must realize here and now: Islam understands and respects NOTHING but POWER and FORCE.

Passing

My wife’s mother passed away this morning at 3:15. My wife said she had been having a dream specifically about her mother, when her cell phone rang. It was her brother with the news.
We dressed in the dark and drove to the hospice care. It was a blessing. She no longer had to struggle so horribly for air. Just as my mother had when she passed in 2002 from COPD, there were cannula marks on Lucy’s face from the mask.
We spoke to my wife’s brother, who has a 2-year-old girl. He said his daughter, at the foot of the mother’s bed the prior night, looked up at the ceiling and said “bye bye.”

Free Speech? “Not Tolerated In MY Party,” Florida Democrats Say

Free speech is the LAST thing any Democrat wants.

Case in point? From Sun-Sentinel.com:

Rush Limbaugh has long been a thorn in the side of liberals, but now, because of him, some Democratic politicians don’t even want to join with a local radio station to broadcast hurricane information.

Radio station WIOD, AM 610, has been the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year. The County Commission, all Democrats, balked at renewing the deal Tuesday, unable to stomach the station also being home to Limbaugh’s talk show.

You know the Democrats. They are all about:

  • Fairness
  • Diversity
  • Tolerance
  • Freedom of expression

But only as long as its their views, their platform, their way of thinking.

Everyone else can take their thoughts and go to Hell; they’ll do their best to kill any thinking save that of their own.
