If he really were up on the current buzz, he's understand that most Republicans are opening their eyes to the fact that they are an irrelevant political fiction. One that has sustained itself on the teat of fear and hatred for long enough. - NLXJ Sun, 03 Jun 2007 18:02:57 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/9468/2241/#comment-8308 Aquila's article was breathtakingly wrong. Latinos should not be too happy with Republicans right now. You say "We need to stop dividing Americans against each other." Dividing Americans is the Republican platform: Americans vs. "illegals"; Christians vs. Muslims; Christians vs. atheists; Patriots vs. "treasonous" war critics. Look at what O'Reilly said just two days ago: "But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you're a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have." Then, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE John McCain agreed. So, a frontrunner in the Republican campaign agrees that Republicans need to maintain the white, Christian, male power structure. Sounds inviting to non-white-Christian-males, doesn't it? Also, that "be proud of your heritage, but love America" line at the end didn't go so well with the Roosevelt quote above it about how America has "room for" one flag, one language, one loyalty. America has room for its people to identify with more than one flag. That is part of our immigrant tradition. A proud Mexican immigrant displaying a Mexican flag is no more a threat to America than a Swedish immigrant (or descendant of) displaying a Swedish flag (something we see a fair amount of up here in the northwest). In fact, it is probably less a threat than the many Republican Americans who still enjoy flying their Confederate flags (perhaps the most treasonous flag possible). - Jon Thu, 31 May 2007 23:41:48 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/9468/2241/#comment-8274 This is the most misguided article I have read in weeks. No touch with reality. Yeah, that's why Latinos voted overwhelmingly Democrat in the last year's election!!! Latinos would be natural Republican constituents, but the racist right-wing of the party has been very successful in alienating them. Every Latino/a today, because of his/ her name or accent is being looked upon with mistrust these days by the "good 'ole boys" who consistently vote Republican. And considering that one in three legal Americans is a minority today, the Republicans have no chance in hell of ever winning another election if they don't pass a comprehensive immigration reform and get away from the fear-mongrels such as Tancredo and Dobbs. Immigration is the besginning of the end for the Republican party and only very few realize that! - ivan Thu, 31 May 2007 17:27:19 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/9468/2241/#comment-8253 Why don't democrats in Washington agree with what Roosevelt said? because the democrat party has been Highjacked by radical leftists. Modern day Socialists, knuckle-dragging Troglodites, flat-earth-first!ers, Gia-worshiping pinkos...... I heard a Hubert Humphrey speach once..He sounded like a Reaganite!! Even Kennedy said that tax Cuts INCREASE! Govt. Revenues!!!!! Those days are long gone, even The latinos are wiseing up... It's time to leave the Plantation Amigos!! Viva! America! Es mejor Morir a pie que vivir arrodillado.....It's Better to die on your Feet, than Live on your Knees!!

But the key word above is LEGAL!

Good stuff!! I have read President T. Roosevelts speech many times before and it is one of the finest I have read. Now, most liberals don't like because it is not PC in todays day and age, but you know what? It is true. I also agree with Mr Fitzsimmons, being a citizens does have a totally differnt meaning, it also means you can vote and be a legitamate voice. Thank you Mr Aquila for being real. - Ubbo Coty Wed, 30 May 2007 10:26:28 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/9468/2241/#comment-8097 A very interesting and well written article, I don't believe Americans have a problem with legal immigration. Americans do not accept illegal immigration because as the word says it is "illegal", I am not bothered how you want to define this word. If this issue can be resolved then I think Unity will prevail. Just remember legal immigration means you are a "Guest of the American People". Being a Citizen has a totally different meaning.

Great letter! Disregarding your party, I agree with what you said. The Latinos who entered our country legally have great respect for our country that they want to be part of our "family" too. That honors our fallen troops of all races, too. Welcome. - tryin2bfair Wed, 30 May 2007 08:18:59 +0100
