This is for all those anti-Mexicans. I just thought it was too ironic to pass up. In Nevada,, a Mexican wins the Miss Universe title...Here is the link to Miss Universe
Kinda strange to have no comments today. Readership is not particularly down, so ... not sure what that means. Maybe there just wasnt anything controversial.
Maybe Miss Mexico as Miss universe will get some people going.
In other news...they still hold the Miss Universe pageant.
ReplyDeleteFrom your referenced article:
ReplyDeleteMiss USA Rima Faikh, the first Muslim-American person to win the Miss USA competition, did not make it to the final round.
Kind of makes you wonder why Americans aren't just Americans who just represent America regardless of their heritage or religion?
jj not anti-Mexican just illegal.
ReplyDeleteShe's cute. Congrats to her.
ReplyDeleteNow, for your JJ, you are either the most ignorant person I have ever seen, or you just intentionally try to stir people up. Over and over and over again, until we are blue in the face, those of us who speak out on here against illegal immigration have said that we are not "Anti-Mexican", as you so delicately put it. We are simply against people coming here illegally. There is a huge difference. But those of you on the left who want open borders try your best to make us out to be racists. It will not work.
its miss universe not miss America. why would that get anyone stirred up? jj you seem to know more about what makes a racist angry than anyone I know , are you a closet racist, or are you just a book of knowledge on the subject? typically it takes one to know one, but i am sure thats not the case with you! Nor is it the Christian way to stir the pot of racism or anger, be peaceful and dont judge others. NOW THATS A GREAT NEW IDEA , TRY IT
ReplyDeleteAnti-Mexican?? Really JJ, that is low even for you!

What do you mean by "those of you." Again I am going to say to SG you tend to be a thoughtful and profound person. Something's off here though.
Let me, first, clearly state that this comment is about behaviors that identify a person and not about a person.
The insistence on referring, in some blanket fashion to "those of you" or "you people" followed a general unsubstantiated assertion is a typical bigoted behavior.
Now, I know that "bigot" is an ugly word. But my parents taught that if you demonstrate the behavior, you've earned the label. They likewise offered a simpe remedy. "Don't like the label. Change the behavior."
In other words, If the shoe fits...
And if it doesn't fit don't put it on.
Oh yeah, another wise person offered this bit of wisdom, If you know you are arguing with an idiot and you continue to argue....
Be careful about name calling SG.
Hope you do have a great day. Yeah, I a pleading for you to step back up to the more rational and civil arguments you've offered in the past. Name calling doesn't do you justice.

ReplyDeleteNow there is a REAL AMERICAN (NOT!) representing America - and even at the American taxpayers expense!
It's simply unbelieveable how LOW we have allowed America to be taken TODAY!
I guess more apologies are in ORDER!
Conquered in our own LAND!
While your stirring the pot, what about Archer's contract information. [forget again?]
ReplyDeletewhat contract information? inquiring minds want to know...
ReplyDelete"What do you mean by "those of you.""
ReplyDeleteWhat part of "But those of you on the left who want open borders try your best to make us out to be racists." is so hard to understand?? What I meant was "those of you on the left who want open borders". So, to be clear, if you are on the left (and by "left" I mean Democrats and Liberals), and you want open borders, (by which I mean no borders with Mexico or Canada) then I was talking about you. In other words, If the shoe fits...
"Be careful about name calling SG"
You mean when I called the girl who won cute? That was the only name calling I did. If you mean saying that JJ was "either the most ignorant person I have ever seen, or you just intentionally try to stir people up." then that is not name calling. Ignorance is simply not knowing all the facts, so an ignorant person is someone who speaks without knowing what they are talking about. In this situation it fit.
JJ has time and time again called anyone on here who wants to put a stop to illegal immigration racists. We have time and time again told him that he is wrong, and that race has nothing to do with not condoning criminal behavior. Besides, it's not like I called him a stupid, fat, bald, idiotic douchebag who likes to play people against one another. Now THAT would be name calling! Good thing I didn't do that!
Should I just take this thread down.
ReplyDeleteReally think some people are over reacting.
you have to admit that some posters on here have been very anti-hispanic in their posts.
I have said that I didnt see anything wrong with cops checking to see if people were here illegally.
jj you knew what you were doing when you posted the thread, now don't be chicken and take it down. You got what you wanted.
ReplyDeleteYou got what you deserved JJ. You know there have been very few if any anti-hispanic sentiments on this site. Anti-illegal yes, but anti-hispanic or "anti-Mexican" no. I challenge you to go back and find one anti hispanic remark.
ReplyDeletejj, I've noticed a pattern with you. You stir up a hornet's nest (on purpose) then once the hornets start stinging, you conveniently become the victim. FYI, you don't play the victim part very well. I would ditto @7:21. I read this blog. Go back and find one anti-hispanic or anti-mexican remark. Out of the dozens of comments made, you WILL find ONE common thread...that is most people don't care for the illegal part.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "This is for all those anti-Mexicans. I just thought it was too ironic to pass up. In Nevada,, a Mexican wins the Miss Universe title."
I mean, who cares what nationality Miss Universe is? I could care less. Congrats to her if she did the work and put in the time to win. Why would you even have to mention "Mexican"? I respect Mexicans or Hispanics. Hard working, family people.
I don't care for the illegals who come here.
S.G.
ReplyDeleteYou've changed.
But that's ok. Mean spirited people increase the societal worth of nice people. Pretty much like anything else, the less available something is, the greater price it fetches.
In a world full of finger wagging head snapping I told you so folks, it's still nice to be nice.
Thanks for setting me straight on your posts. I will sleep better because of it.
what are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteI think I have a stalker. haha
ReplyDeletelol. When a stalker says something like "you've changed", it's time to get the restraining order. lol. Good thing we are anonymous on here.
ReplyDeleteSG - I don't think 'stalker' is the right word. haha Get over yourself. haha
ReplyDeleteWhen a stalker says it you may be right. But when someone says and means you have changed and gone from thoughtful to thoughtless and from rationale to radical, it's time to stop being catty and consider your ways.
ReplyDeleteOf course, when people fall down the slippery slope, they rarely receive a word of caution from an objective party.
Bury yourself in it S.G. Only you HAVE to live with it. Others can just ignore it when they choose.
For the talent portion of the pageant, Miss Mexico climbed over a 12-ft fence in under 20 seconds.
ReplyDeleteLOL. at the stalker and the joke. I saw where the same person was saying the same thing to SG on David's blog. I didn't see where SG said anything as horrible as they are trying to make it seem. Does seem a little creepy if you ask me.
ReplyDeletegotta say one thing about SG. You either love him or you hate him.
ReplyDelete7:15 just vindicated JJ.

From someone who's chasing from blog to blog and keeping notes? Creepy?
Mr or Mrs blog hopper seems lonely or irrelevant. Blog is a good to place to pretend you matter if you ask me.
"From someone who's chasing from blog to blog and keeping notes? Creepy?"
ReplyDeleteYeah!! Don't ye know you is only allowed to reed one blog on the internets? Even if they is in the same town. ONE BLOG! Them's the rules! You should know the rules if yer gunna get on tha internets.
"7:15 just vindicated JJ."
ReplyDeleteTen bucks says JJ wrote that joke himself so he didn't look quite so bad.
I think I like creepy. If by this pundits definition "Creepy" means someone who will point out when you seem to have lost your compass of morality, civility or intelligence; if it means someone saying, "come on, you're better than that" then creepy people need to spend time following me just in case I let phantom debate begin to erode my mind or decay who I am.
ReplyDeleteMore to the point, S.G and the companion anonymous posts made by SG simply riterate the intolerance and marriage to any past wrongs that has become America (USA correctly).
Somebody hurt my feelings. I am going to hold on to it forever and make sure I tell my children and their children so that if the person who hurt me or one of their descendants ever attempts to move to close to me they too will rant and tave and demand their own way.
In contrast, I wonder how those who espouse their indignation about the Muslim sponsored construction project some 2000 miles from us can also embrace the philosophy that a sexual assault victim should "forgive her attacker and bring forth the seed of that attack into the world."
How is it that such a terroristic attack against a lone female deserves forgiveness and the victim be expected to simply get over it?
Isn't that insensitive also. Maybe there's rationale for that which makes the intolerance in NYC justifiable.
From an earlier article on Yahoo today:
ReplyDeleteThe shortage of skilled workers is the No. 1 or No. 2 hiring challenge in six of the 10 biggest economies, Manpower found in a recent survey of 35,000 employers. Skilled trades were the top area of shortage in 10 of 17 European countries, according to the survey.
While the short-term way to address to shortages is to embrace migration, the long-term solution is to change attitudes toward skilled trades, Manpower argues.
Since the 1970s, parents have been told that a university degree -- and the entry it affords into the so-called knowledge economy -- was the only track to a financially secure profession. But all of the skilled trades offer a career path with an almost assured income, Joerres said, and make it possible to open one's own business.
In the United States, recession and persistent high unemployment may lead parents and young people entering the workforce to reconsider their options.
-------------
I think Steve Abrhams has the right idea about Tech Education!
There are older workers getting ready to retire and no qualified skilled workers to take their place in many fields!
With the goal today to get a College Degree and no real alternatives for those who don't qualify can't afford or don't get accepted to a College?
Guess who ends up taking those jobs!
It might just be that we are engineering (through things like lobbying for college education) a lot of our own economic problems and perpetuating a growing (exploding) trend for immigration!
Btw: There are several articles over the last few months that repeat the same thing - Industry lacks qualified workers!

ReplyDeleteQuestion for you JJ,
If you have been following the news about every week now out of Mexico. There has been story after story of mass killings, shootouts in the streets, beheadings etc.
I know of some people who go to Mexico almost every year!
They told me that if you stay in the Tourist areas you will be fiercely protected because they don't want anything to restrict or interfere with their Tourism Industry!
So, I think the question that should be ask is do we have any resposibility by offering an often "false sense of hope" for those in Mexico, Central and South America who risk their lives to come to America?
All
In the hope of a better life here than they have in their Country?
The latest news is that they are increasing their attempts by water because it has gotten more difficult to come by land!
I think its time to hold the leaders of their countries ACCOUNTABLE!
What say you?
I, the Mad Linker, am the perpetrator of said joke. I'm sure the IPs match. It's just a joke.
ReplyDeleteRe:SG He seems to have scaled back the personal attacks a bit, but still loves the 'you obviously don't understand' card. There's also an air of undeserved entitlement about his posts.
Well, I have been followed from the Traveler's blog to this one by someone who keeps telling me that I am going overboard with my rhetoric or whatever, when in fact I have been trying to be quite a bit more mellow over the last year or so. I can see nothing in the posts leading up to their comments that would justify such attacks. So it seems like it might be personal. I have no idea what their agenda might be, and frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn. I have cut back my posts both on here and on the Travelers blog quite a bit, and maybe I'll just stop posting here altogether. That would surely make the libs happy. I may have to pop in and gloat after the November elections though. haha
ReplyDeleteAttacks? I think you may have a mental diaper rash SG.
ReplyDeleteA person writes fsacinating children's books. They become a favored author. All of a sudden, there subject matter becomes sordid and seductive. Someone who admired their acumen at writing children's books mentions that the subject has become questionable and that they had more appeal when writing those fascinating books before.
How might that be an attack? Any one who reminds me that they expect more of me than low level conduct is a friend. But then again, maybe before you were a fish out of water. Now you just sound weak and whiny. SG, sorry for thinking you had something to offer.
Sometimes you wish you could get to know a person better. Then you do. Dang it!
gotta say one thing about SG. you never have to wonder or guess where he stands. i respect that. i don't always agree with him, but respect...yes.
ReplyDeletemental diaper rash? lol
ReplyDeleteNope.. not attacks at all. Silly me.
I don't know why you have a bug up your wazoo about me, or why I'm living rent free in your noggin, but I don't really care what you think of me. I have never said anything to you to attack you, or even been critical of anything you've said about me up until now.
So, I'm very sorry that I wasn't the person you thought I should be. If only I had had your guidance and supprt from an early age maybe I'd have turned out to be a better person. Alas, we shall never know.
YEP, that was sarcasm. :)
Bless you. That was not. :-[
ReplyDeleteT.R. said
ReplyDeleteSo folks, you see how easy it is to get one of these conservative idealists off point. About twenty posts up SG thought they had the world by the balls. A couple of people twist the dialog and now it's all about me SG.
It's all about me. Abandoned are your profound world views and brilliant solutions. Just another Limbaugh wannab who can't stay on point OR bring world peace.
I AM a Limbaugh wanna be. I figured the first step should be posting on a blog in Ark City America that approx six people read. I figure if I do that for 20 years or so, I can move up to posting on a blog that 12 people read, and then just doubling every 20 years or so until I have as many followers as Rush Limbaugh. THEN I will work on bringing world peace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tool.
I went off point because I had already made my point. And then someone else brought up another one. That's how blogs work. Go upstairs and ask your mom and maybe she'll explain it to you.
Stay down there SG. Stay down there. You're a legend in your own mind. And that's a scary place to be it appears.
ReplyDeleteyou liberals are funny.
ReplyDeleteREMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!!!
I thought it was remember September.
ReplyDelete???
When tehy were doing the piece on 5years after Hurricane Katrina, they played a clip from then POTUS George W. Bush.
Ironic that his line is the same as the commercials aired by BP after their calamity.
We will be there as long as it takes... blah blah blah blah....
Again, the TV crews will leave and a new crisis or disaster will take center stage and the work will not be done.
Conservative rhetoric!
Well, at least you have Sean Penn on the ground cleaning everything up and making New Orleans safe for liberals. haha
ReplyDeleteWhy do you call it coservative rhetoric when it was a Liberal White House that dropped the ball in the BP disaster? Does it really matter who is in charge when disaster strikes?
In my humble opinion, responses to natural disasters should not be politicized. They should just be handled. When everything becomes about which party did what, and how the media will look at things, people get killed.
Read the story of Operation: Redwing. A S.E.A.L. team on the ground in Afghanistan (there were 4 of them) let some goat herders who had stumbled on them go because they feared they would be persecuted by the liberal media (Their words, not mine) when they got back. Those goat herders promptly ran and told the taliban, who showed up with 200 - 300 soldiers. All but one of the team were killed, and a helo carrying 16 more was shot down while trying to search for the team. All because of soldiers having to second guess the politics of the situation instead of doing what they knew they needed to do to win.
SG has become blah blah.
ReplyDeleteOnly want to use labels when you want to condemn someone else. Then you speak the "which one was in charge doesn't matter" line when your boy is in the limelight.
Actually, it was the CEO of BP and his leadership team that dropped the ball on the BP fiasco. Unless you are advocating for more government control. Then we could say it was the current president. But then that would make us like Chavez and his nationalized energy companies.
SG is blah blah it seems.
Now we have illegal Mexicans at Creekstone stealing the ID of our soldiers while they are away at war, and it gets ZERO mention by JJ the open borders advocate. Fair and biased?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 4:19, Do you really think I give a rats buttocks what you or ANY liberal thinks of me? If so, you got another think comin. I can't wait to hear your cry in November when the tide begins turning back to the people instead of big government. Whatever will you do? lol
