Oklahoma institutionalizes most pre-K

Here, in Houston a local High School Principal hoisted the Mexican Flag up the School Flag Pole. it was up there long enough for the news reporters to get their chopper over there. Principal was punished, athough the hispanic superintendant refuses to release details of HOW the principal was punished.

Am I wrong, or isn't hoisting another country's flag a treasonable offense?

What really bytes is all my friends who are of Mexican Heritage, that are terrified to speak up. They would get it from both ends, if they spoke out against this kids, who are proesting. Even if to correct the children.

Oh, and get this.... The reason, many think, that the Hispanic children are more likely to "WalkOut" of school, this week... Check your cable channels. There is a special on one of the HBO's or Showtimes called, (Yup, you guessed it!) "WalkOut!".

It is about a 1968 Walkout by hispanic kids from LA county schools, who walked out to protest the treatment of their peers. Good flick.

But many in the "MySpace" generation have taken up this movie as a rally call to "WalkOut!" The movie is new. It was just released this month.

You cannot possibly invite everyone in the world to come "Crash on your sofa" anymore than any country can allow unbridled emmigration. (Let's all look to France, shall we?) But for some reason, the entire world is hooked on this idea that since the White settlers where not "Native" Americans, that somehow we do not deserve soverenty.

I just want to remind everyone that the "Native Americans" were NOT here first. (That sound you hear is every ellitist socialist college proffessor hitting the roof for me telling you the truth) (Man my spelling bytes today)

Acording to nearly EVERY science book, they came across the "Land Bridge" from what is now Russia and "Invaded" the Americas to make it there own. Just as EVERY civilization has done in every point in history.

Oh, dayng it!
I swore I was not gonna get into this....
I am just gonna walk away from the computer slowly and get more coffee....

I just wanna say that may all the great people who come here, that really want to be just regular "Joes" themselves, like my hispanic nighbors, God bless'm! And may our government find some way to streamline the legal emmigration system to help the honest folks!

 

Our country is loosing its own identity. Our country was founded on the idea of religious freedom, NOT melting pot. Oh come and destroy our hertiage all people of the world! yes, we HAVE a heritage. But we have compromised so much it is faded and all but lost. I am all for honest decent hard working people living in America. If you are here to participate and pledge alligence to the flag, glad to have you. I am so tired of it being "out of style" or not "politically correct" to be patriotic. What other country would allow a foreign flag to be hoisted outside a goverment (ps included) building?! Yes, it was brought down and the guy supposedly punished. I saw protesters outside the mall a while back protesting our president. yes, we have freedom. I support freedom. However, it still stands that if we are divided we will fall. A whole is greater than a combination of pieces. We can disagree but we need to have a standard and a basis for which we live. We need NOT to second guess our consitiution just because some idiot feels his rights were violated. I am so tired of americans who hate america. Well, if you hate it so much there is a whole big world out there with property for sale. Oh, so now it doesn't sound all that appealing to move outside of our great country, does it? I don't see anyone packing up and moving OR trying to make it better or be heard in a reasonable fashion.

Ok, ok....see Jennifer...I can babble and vent with the best of them. Gonna go now.

 

I feel ya, sista!

A commedian, (forgot his name) came up with a great catch-phrase for a t-shirt:

"America! 12 Million Illegal Aliens Can't be Wrong!"

Amen!

Everyone is welcome, just be a team player, that's all.

 

I remember that, Jennifer! That is so funny. Like you, I agree, on the team or out of the country. No room or that. I woudn't expect to jump on a plane to Germany and then live off the German government.

 

Nor would I expect to go to a predominately Muslim country, and then gripe about Muslim religious holidays, or that people didn't go out of their way to accomodate my minority religious view.

 

I think the commedian was Jamie ... something... Dayng it! I will remember when it becomes irrelevant. Arrgh! Hate that.

Anyway...
I think most people agree that we love new people, just please #1. Be a team player and #2. Stop bad mouthing us.

What I am wondering is, how do they exactly plan to impliment this law? Are they goin got toss out all illegals? How? Images of "Jew Trains" fly in my head and scares me.

Pres Bush says he will NOT sign for amnesty, so this means they send everyone home, right? And what about the kids who were not born here, but might as well had been. They came when they were 1 or 2 years old and grew up as American as you and I. What do we do? Rip them out of soccer practice, slap a green, yellow and white flag on their chest and push them all on immigration busses?

I ask, because something is fishey, here....
Without an implementation plan.... I smell a rat.
Something tells me the Pres could be "Catering" to his conservative base, but he may have a trump card to passify his mexican friends. Comprende?

It's getting weird!

 

Can you even FATHOM going to Iran and parading in the streets in shorts and a tank top to protest that you should have the RIGHT to do whatever it is you want to do??!!!

Good Lord!
They will execute you if you convert to Chritianity. This is insane. And to be quite rude, I think they (In general) are simple mentally ill. These people are living in the times of the Salem Witch Hunts, folks. Hello!!??

And by the way, if illegal Mexicans spent HALF their time WHOPPING azz in their own country to fix it, as they do parading around on our streets about how life is unfair, they would have no problems!

God bless'm all, and stock up food for the comming war!
(Sort of joking)

 

Actually, on my post about "normal american kids," I was still typing but I had hit the tab or something and it posted. I started to continue my post on a second post, but decided I had said enough. Personally my own son that is in college is completely deaf in one ear. So I hear you about disabilities, and that was not my point, however, I do not feel a student with a disability should get practically free education either. We all have our own burdens to bear, be it a disabled child, or low income or whatever. I am personally paying $23,000 a year for my son to go to college (loans), the missionary kids are going free, the school is teaming with people from other countries that are going free and they will not even be an asset to America. They (the government, the university, the scholarships) treat certain people with an education, while working class caucasion American kids pay out the nose, or more typically, do not even get the privilege. I know many good students that because they could not get one of these scholarships, grants, etc. did not get to attend college. I think they are given to the wrong students for the wrong reasons.

 

Homeschool G'ma I totally agree! I hope you can see why I was confused by your wording. I often tell my husband that I get frustrated with the gvt. giving $ for people not to work. Welfare people go to school free and have free child care. People who are trying thier hardest to make ends meet and not live off the gvt. are left to fend for themselves. Geesh, I could go on but I have to go again. Friday is normally a fun day here but the kids are considering fun being with mom. Guess I should appreciate that while it lasts.

 

My mom was a probation officer. She had girls who would sign up for college classes, the government would pay for them, and they would wait for about a week and drop out. So now the school "owed" them the money back for the class. They would go to the Bursar's office and be given a check for the amount of the class! This was a scam they'd do every quarter, and there was nothing Mom could do about it.

 

jackie, that is just insanity. I have thousands of dollars in loans to pay off. Wish I would have known all I had to do was commit a crime and my schooling would be free. Oh.....wait...better yet...they will actually pay me not to take the class I sign up for.

 

We need to re title this thread, "How to be pissed off, without really trying".
:lol:


Anyone want to get in on the emminant domain debate?
:roll:

I knew the country was in trouble with this ruling last year.

The highest court of the land decided that LOCAL municipalities (Those who would benifit from increased funds) were allowed to remove small business owners, property owners and homeowners from their property.... if they could simply prove that by doing so, a developer can build something else on that property that would generate more tax revenue!

(Think: Kick granny out of her 100 year old home to build high end retail and condos)

So if a developer comes to your town, be carefull. He can swindle the local government (City counsel) that YOUR property, business, etc, would better serve the common good if GIVEN UP by you to develop into a higher tax revenue generator.

Yes, McCarthy.. The communists and Socialists HAVE taken over....
:shock:

 

You know the reality is....

All of the race based, and "Ability" based aid in America is based on an outdated and completely ancient world that does not exist anymore.

For example; A man in a wheelchair would be given a school scholarship to help him have a chance to go to school, and rightly so, because the world was different back then. He would not have had a chance to suceed in life if not given the help up.

There is NOTHING holding them back in todays world, and so why is there a special fund for folks like this?

I am NOT trying to be insensitive.
I am stating what MANY people fear to ask:

If you go on about how you are not hadicaped, and that life can't contain you and there is nothing you can't do, aside from walk up stairs, then why do you NEED a scholarship? This is not the 1850's when you would have been shunned..... this is the 21st century when you folks are winning basketball games in the olympics!

So get off Momma America's teet!
"Oh No She DIDN'T! :shock:

 

oh a soapbox haven thread! lol

Can i jjoin in and post one of mine? three Julys ago I decided to go to my citys 4th of July festival. Upon arriving I discovered it was not a "festival" but was , in fact, a "Fiesta!" Now I normally have NOTHING against spanish so I didn't say anything just took my little toddling child in the gates settled us down on a blanket and prepared for a concert and Fireworks in our of my country. One hour later I had yet to hear an English somg from any of the bands that had played. When finally one came up to sing in english I thought "Ah! I can understand the lyrics now!" Boy, was I disappointed! the lyrics for this family event (um I mean Fiesta) were basically "Little girls, please pull your panties down" over and over. Having heard the mayor would speak after this band.. I stayed despite the fact I was beging to get upset. The band who sang in English finished their show with a chat.. getting the huge crowd involved. The Chant was "PROUD TO BE MEXICAN!!!!!!! PROUD TO BE MEXICAN!!!!!!! PROUD TO BE MEXICAN!!!!!!!" Wild Cheering ensued all around me. I kid you not.

The mayor then gets up and begins his speech by talking about how great the bands have been thus far and how they are such a heartwarming representation of our area. He then introduced a woman who sang the national anthem. No response at all from the crowd. Some talked thru it! At this point I double checked my cell phone clock to see if it was in fact, the 4th of July and not Cinco De Mayo.
I had not made a mistake and this was in fact the correct event.. the city sponsered 4th of July celebration. I left Without waiting for the fireworks. on my way out I heard another band start up.. of course I couldn't understand a word they sang.. it wasn't in english.

All the talk the next day , was about how great it had all been. I mentioned not liking that 95% of it was in Spanish.. I was labeled a bigot. Funny, I don't go to the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta and chant how great it is to be american.. <LET ME HAVE MY 4TH OF JULY PARTY>

So her you are my friends.. the Wite trash bigot in your midst!


Hmm do I sound angry and bitter? I suppose I am. All my life I'm taught the value of treating everyone as equals, of having a country full of diversity. That mankind is all made in God's image, that the freedoms in our country are good and just. but what I see is a hostile takeover. Affirmative action binds me from complaining. Past hurtfulness towards other races nulls all my current rights to equality. People in america are no longer equal, Some of us are busy being oppressed as a punishment for the sins of our forefathers. though I think some of those "sins" may be exaggerated at this point to keep things how they are.

I drove away that 4th of July night with fireworks in my rear view mirror and the thought "If they are so proud to be mexican, let them go back to mexico so I can celebrate one of my favorite holidays!"

I hope that this sort of thing is mainly because I live a 45 min drive from the mexican border. But fact remains I'M NOT IN MEXICO!

 

Well, not yet!

 

Bwaa Haaaa Haaaa!

 

Sorry just caught me on a bad day, I'm being immature today. I get tired of the envornment around here (my town not the forum) sometimes. I always feel like everything I say or even think is being analyzed for PCness anymore. Sami is darker skinned than me and so people, strangers, come and ask me blunt questions about her father. It's as bad as people rubbing your stomach just because you are pregnant! A bit too personal. Why should it matter what nationality her father was? Why should she get scholarships and/or other services just because that mans genes in her made her a little darker?

Is it like this everywhere now? or is it really just that I'm so close to the border?

It's frustrating being labeled a bigot and discriminatory because I want to celebrate MY Country on the 4th of July. Because I think Sami is no better or worse qualified for a school scholarship on the basis of race.

Why am I the only one who found that 'fiesta' odd and even objectionable? I just don't get it.

 

Syele---so well said! I loved your post. I was about to comment but realized I could not have said it better! Triple AMEN sister! Or should I say, my fellow american! What has happened to American pride???

 

thanks Ava Rose.

*Syele goes and puts away her soap box before she gets into more trouble.

 

There is video of the Houston area High School students (Who "Protested" this week by walking out of school) shouting, "Latino POWER!" over and over while hitting their chests with their forearms and then extening the forearm out.

Ok, history teachers . . . Who does this remind us of?
Very Good, Adolph!
I shall send you home with a certificate for "Cult of Personality".

No, I do NOT want to go around shouting, "White Power." Anyone who shouts, " _______ Power" is a moron leming who doesn't even have the first brain cell needed to win an arguement.

Or they are a High School Kid From the PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!
BWAAAA HAAAAA hAAAAA
(Show evil face, here!)
