I've been watching the news for the past several hours. You'd think with the events of today (the political rhetoric bullshit) the news would be full of vetoes and political flexing. Nope! Today, it's been more of the illegal aliens going to the streets in demonstrations against our immigration policies and laws. First, let me start off saying that this DOES NOT HAPPEN in Mexico. A non-citizen who goes to a demonstration WILL be going to jail. Period. Got that! The fact they were able to participate in the first place shows their complete disregard for this country. For them to wrap themselves in a flag and wear it as a bandana is something else that doesn't happen in Mexico. Now they're crying about how we need to be humane? Excuse me? Now I'm looking at a big debate about some so called "w" word and how it's SO offensive to Mexicans. I had to stop and think about what they were talking about. Then it was said...."Wetbacks". Huh? They're offended? I stopped in a Mexican restaurant today and remembered the menu while this news program was on. I was listening to these guys whine and cry about being called "Wetbacks" and how offensive it was. I remembered that menu....complete with a section called "Gringo". Whew! I'm offended now! When was the last time anyone can remember being in a burger joint and seeing a section called "Wetback" section that had enchiladas and burritos? Who's offending who? When I was in Mexico, I can't recall how many times I was called "Gringo". No one called me "United States citizen" or "Anglo- American". WTF? I guess the next time I'm in Mexico and they call me a "Gringo", I'll take to the streets, wrap a Mexican flag around my head and scream on television about how inhumane the Mexicans are. Wonder what the outcome might be?
