Dr. Seuss, anyone?

I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like the health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals.

I do not like this Man, I do not like this 'YES WE CAN'.

I do not like this spending spree; I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.

I do not like their smug replies, when I complain about their lies.

I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it...nope nope nope!

La Raza is a racist organization. even their name points this out. La Raza in spanish means "The Race"

We do not have room in this country for anything other than Americans. If you are not an American before your race, nationality, culture, you need to crawl back to the place of your origin; we don't need you. The only race, nationality or culture here is the American one, and our skin color is Red, White, and Blue. The rest of you can stuff it.

@1337wafflezz Thank you, 1337wafflezz, for standing up.

[1337wafflezz]

Screw La Raza. This is coming from a Hispanic. I love America, and I hate these kkk bastards parading around as a "Civil rights" group but then taking more pride in their skin color than the country they live in. They are not for civil rights, unless you idea of civil rights is destroying everyone that isn't from the same origin as you.

@dagaalyahaanzz How is having the national debt higher than the gross domestic product "much better"? He is clearly one of the worst presidents in US history.

@buisyman there is a difference between "La Raza" and the National Council of La Raza(NCLR). im explaining the use of the phrase La Raza.

[crunkin234]

@buisy if your talking about "La Raza" i must admit it does sound racist but to the person who does not understand the history behind it. "La Raza" is meant to inform the mexican-american who does not understand who he is. "La Raza" is all bout cultural background and identity. if you look at chicano art you will see allot of american influence in their painting just as much as mexican or indigenous(aztec/mayan/other). being of a mixed race shouldnt be an issue, i bet your mixed.

[crunkin234]

@buisyman look there is a difference between the NCLR and the word used by chicanos which happens to be "La Raza" to signify that they embrace Both Mexican and American Cultures but see themselves with a mexican background.

@crunkin234 Please, the natives were hostile and killing other tribes before the Pilgrims landed. Learn history. If tribes were attacking other tribes for invading their lands, what do you think the natives did when foreigners did the same? Revisionist history doesn't work.

@crunkin234 That's a bunch of horse crap. You don't even speak spanish, do you? La raza, translated into english means "the race". And, further more, La Raza has proven itself time and time again, to be a racist organization bent on subjugating the United States to the socialist rule of Mexico. Mulato is a word used to describe someone of mixed race, just as milk chocolate is.
