| Hispanic activists are wasting no time pressuring President Obama to give them their due for flooding the polls for his reelection. Citing exit polls that show Obama received up to 71 percent of the Latino vote, Hispanic and pro-immigration reform groups are urging the president to move fast to use his election mandate to pressure foes into an immigration deal. "President Obama unquestionably owes this historic victory to 71% of the Latino vote," said the DRM Action Coalition which promotes the DREAM Act to provide children of undocumented workers special access to college.

Obviously, if latinos only goal is to increase the numbers of latinos in the country it must be to increase their power against whites and other non-latinos. This is a profoundly racist and un-American goal that must be resisted with every fibre of our resolve. Stop illegal immigration. Deport illegal aliens. Reduce quotas for thirs world countries. Restrict immigration to the young, the educated and the English speaking.

Everyone knows that virtually any group (whether legal, illegal, unethical, immoral, etc.) that attains a sufficient political following, can depend upon the Democrat Party to carry their water. We can only be thankful that pedophiles have not yet gained enough of a following. But felons are on the verge.

Silly special interest groups. Don't you know you are their trump card? They can't play you (give you what you want) until they have a different trump card (special interest group to exploit) to replace you. And, my Latino friends, you are a huge voting block for them and they just can't let you go that easily. So get used to having the carrot dangled before you for at least the next two years until the Dems are able to take over (steal) both houses of Congress. On another note, lady parts voters, isn't it funny, you were promised something that you already had. So, what's to look forward to? I mean, you already had birth control, access to birth control, cheap birth control and abortion up to the time of birth. You were easy ladies.

Latinos prepare to be fenced into the ghettos with your black brethren and be left there to rot by your liberal friends. They will add you to the government teat and terrify you into submission whenever a conservative utters the phrase 'personal responsibility'. By the time Obama is done every urban area will resemble Staten Island - dumpster diving and begging on the street for fresh water. You see how that is working out for them.

Don't you people realize that Odummer and Co. don't owe you nothing. Just like the black liberal activists the crats will keep putting out the football ala Lucy and Charlie Brown(or in your case Lucena and Carlos)for you dopes to kick and at the last minute take it away from you. This while you fall flat on your backs. The funny things is every four years you fall for it. I have NO sympathy for you and what you're "owed". Adios suckers.

As an American I give everyone a chance. I don't care what their story is and many times i find a new hero, but you don't start off breaking the law and amount to much, in most cases. Sure the democrats have pandered to and encouraged the legal and illegal population growth since Ted Kennedy, but the Republicans did nothing to resolve the issue of another tribe competing for their chunk of the American corpse. When entire communities fly the flag of Mexico or Puerto Rico higher than the Stars and Stripes, your country is dying.

I'm already furious at the way Hispanics are given preferential treatment. They already have preference in getting into college, the problem is that once they get in they don't have the intellectual chops to finish. Hence, we've spent tax dollars on them, and took the spot from a more qualified student, all for no purpose.
It's difficult enough for a student to get into a state university here in California, but once they move the illegals ahead kids like my son will have no chance.
What proves my point is that any brilliant black or hispanic kid who applies themselves will get a free ride at a great university, and yet they're having trouble filling their quotas. The problem is that in non-Asian minority families success at school is not supported or encouraged. There are exceptions, but the "don't give a damn" percentage is at least 80%, at least in our community.
My son's teachers have told me that it's difficult to get the minority parents to attend parent/teacher conferences, or respond to phone calls. They just want baby sitters. And, heaven forbid, their kid gets into trouble, it's never their kid's fault and the teachers take verbal and physical abuse for even mentioning it.

Don't worry, amigo, you will get everything you want plus a lot more as long as you guarantee that all those illegal aliens will vote Demon-RAT forever.
Citizenship, welfare, shoot, lots of good ''free stuff''. The Demon-RATS don't want you to come here, work hard and succeed. They need you poor, dumb, lazy and totally dependant on them. That means you will join most of the rest of their base on the welfare plantation.
Maybe they will even rename it the welfare barrio in your honor.

The wimpy Republicans would be committing long-term political suicide if they allow a liberal Democrat amnesty to pass for 12-20 million illegal aliens that puts them on a "path to citizenship" that is liberal Democrat code speak for eventually granting many millions of legalized aliens US voting rights.
Even if only about half of the legalized aliens ever register and vote, the liberal Democrats would have many millions of new foreign born voters to continue their transformation of America, and ensure that the Republicans are never able again to win national elections.

Hillary can announce it is a new Good Neighbor Policy.
The states might put up a stout fight but Mexico has 100m or so population advantage including probably 30% of the people already in those states.
California and New Mexico vote for Democrats so Obama may want to keep them.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
