i love the sign in the picture that says “No Amnety” as in only English.

and i think the one on the left is missing a Y

I hate CNN. I don’t watch it at all anymore.

@el smrtmnky: LOL!!!! (or jajajajajaja???)

Tancredo is a riot. He should go on Wikipedia to spout his profound understanding of the English language along with the ” ‘meta’ means ‘beyond’ in English” dude and the “singular ‘They’ ” entries. These really exist, you should look them up.
“English is Colorado,” wow. I smell a new t-shirt slogan!!!!!!!

This is alll bullshit!
What ethnicity is the last name Tancredo, anyway?
&
Colorado- we would have to call it “red”- lol!
I believe in that it should be mostly English w/ an option to speak other languages if you so feel like it. WTF is up with that fat-fuck in the lawn chair (in the pic) looking for an excuse to get her lazy-ass out to get a tan- she should be so lucky!
(Man I feel bitchy tonight, lol!)

Tancredo’s life seems to me like when Hitler started his ascencion to power.

Not so long ago, the biggest dictator on earth came to power driven by anger and hate.
Everything started little by little in Germany. Jews started to be blamed for everything. Just take a look to some of the movies made by Hitler about Jews. In these films, they are depicted as criminals, thieves, a disgrace to Germany, they are filthy, they bring diseases, they are greedy, they should be removed, they should be deported, etc.

His arguments sound familiar. Similar to the attacks made to Jews that escalated until deport them to concentration camps and exterminate a great deal of innocent people. All based on hate. Hate against other race. Hate against other people.

The hate against Jews made Hitler to climb to his actual position. As a result of his ascent and silence and approval of the German population, the killings and destruction were countless. This is also what the Ku Klux Klan tried to do against African Americans in USA, luckily without success. The white supremacists, Nazis, and the KKK are closely related.

This is Tancredo’s reald face same as Lou Dobbs and others in the same wave of hate. No rationality only toxic messages, venom and hate.

Once Tancredo and his followers round the Mexicans, the next in line will be those Mexicans born in USA, the Mexican-Americans because they can not be recognized or distinguished by appearance.

Then the Jewish population and of course the African Americans. Well maybe not in that order but in a different fashion. Also the Native Americans will be placed on line to finish the unconcluded business.

Let’s wake up!

JUST A THOUGHT

Several decades ago, immigrants from Hispanic origin came to the USA. They didn’t bother to participate in politics. They came to work and nothing else. Why to bother if the country was going OK. They didn’t speak the language very well and they thought let’s leave politics in the hands of those who are in power. Working and keeping a job was their main goal. Many even didn’t bother to change their immigrant status as residents.

But a couple of years ago, particularly this year, something happened. Because they can not be recognized or distinguished by appearance, with the so called illegals, they started to realize that they had to become citizens to obtain a higher level of protection. They realized that they were being demonized. Many of them are coming to vote for the first time.

Some of this population belongs to the group that came with the amnesty offered by President Reagan in 1986-1988. They too started to become citizens. There is no way that anyone can identify an illegal alien just by looking at them. You cannot tell who is an American citizen just by looking. Latino voters are tired of getting treated as something less than real Americans.

They could be legally here; they could have lived in the U.S. for generations. The only marker is skin color. The effect of the immigration debate on many Latino voters has been to make them feel like their Americanness is being questioned, even if they have been here for many generations.

The rampant xenophobia encased in fear of terrorism has made it critical for the legal immigrants, once illegal, to acquire the status that would grant them immunity from narrow legal persecution. However, it is not strange that in this xenophobic wave these people are feeling being threatened and insulted..

In the meantime, the Republicans had their chance for about 6 years to make a statement that the republican party would take care of the American people and they really showed they don’t care by their non-actions and clearly directed actions against inmigrants. However, it is not only what Republicans say; it is also what they don’t say. Republicans have been filibustering everything that comes up in the Senate.

It is true that some Democrats such as Jim Webb, Jon Tester and Claire McCaskill vote with the majority of Republicans to kill the Senate immigration compromise, without offering a realistic and achievable alternative that would establish a more humane policy.

But, it is also undeniable that the most vicious, the most wretched, the most offensive, the most revolting, the most ruthless, the most vilifying, the most repulsive attacks have come and are still coming from Republicans.

Just a few examples to illustrate it.
1) Sensenbrenner wanted the criminalization of these people.
2) Newt Gingrich, Former House speaker, who coined Spanish as the Language of the gheto
3) Fred Thompson just slammed Cubans, suggesting that they come to America not in search of freedom, but to bring “suitcase bombs.”
4) Dana Rohrabacher in his speeches is warning “the end of America as we know it”.
5) Tancredo, his motto: “a scourge that threatens the very future of our nation.”
6) J.D Hayworth, not reelected, but still instilling hate. No comments.

The list goes on and on.. .

From the beginning, the bill’s most forceful opponents were southern Republicans. GOP Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana, Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Jeff Sessions of Alabama led the charge, often backed by Texan John Cornyn.

One thing is certain, the past six years, the Republicans were mum on all issues with immigration reform as just one of them. They controlled the white house and congress. If there is anytime in which a party is able to get things done, it’s when they don’t have anyone to really interfere.
Immigration was just one of them.

Indeed, the Hispanic vote is hardly a monolithical block. But what the anti inmigrant rethoric has done is bringing them closer together, unifying and solidifying this block.

Therefore, it seems to me that the most recalcitrant and extreme positions are from Republicans, where no room is for middle ground. This whole episode has branded the Republicans as the anti-inmigrant party.

So Republicans have done this at a national level. Pretty transparent move they did, and now the immigrant population, IRISH, PHILLIPINOS and many other immigrant groups, particularly HISPANICS, are aware of this issue.

As mentioned before, the most vicious, the most wretched, the most offensive, the most revolting, the most ruthless, the most vilifying, the most repulsive attacks have come and are still coming from Republicans.

At any rate, this is the beginning of the legal immigrant backlash directed against the Republican Party for their position on the immigration bill.

By your actions, you shall be judged.!

The name of the state of Colorado is……Colorado!
Just like New York is NOT Nueva York. Just like Hackensack, New Jersey! All these are names of places that are in our English textbooks and maps. If I have a “rendezvous” with someone, it does not mean I am speaking French. No one is asking Juan to change his name to John.
Hackensack is a native american name. There are a lot of places that got their name from whoever named it.
Los Angeles actually had a longer name and was shortened. Spain and Mexico had something to do with naming the area. That is why the “city of angels” is a nickname and not the official name.
Or do you say Jorge Bush? please don’t!
This is about having a common language that at least all the different races and cultures of America can understand. Tancredo’s wife taught Russian in the public school system so you know they are not against learning another language.
