It's no secret that the GOP is perhaps is the the most exclusive party in history of this great country. One would just have to look at the audience of any of the GOP conventions an you will see that it's image is one of a white male dominated party. Compare that to the audience of any Democratic convention and you will see a melting pot of all different ethnic backgrounds.I know you are trying to prove some sort of point here about why Mexican Americans should fear the GOP , but you didn't make it all that clear. Why don't you just cut to the chase and make a clear and concise statement of why these people should fear the GOP. Does the GOP have some sort of agenda for these people? I am not totally sure what you're trying to convey here.
Also,if you just look at how the GOP views muslims since 9-11 and even if you just look at the rhetoric from members on this board: Whirlaway, I B Hankering, JD, IIFF, LustLad, Budman, and Jewish Lawyer(although this is expected since Jews have a long history of distrust to muslims and vice versa) they all share one thing in they want to blame the actions of a few on the entire population.
Yes, we know there are radical muslims, but the vast majority of muslims especially the American muslims are peaceful and law abiding. It's quite ironic how so members on this board bash muslims and yet fail to realize that there are young brave American muslims who are fighting all over the world protecting our freedom. Obama has been called a "muslim so many times by the far right that I have lost count- but is there something wrong with being a muslim? Can a law abiding american man/woman who happens to be muslim run for political office? Not if the GOP had their way.
Now let's move on to the topic- if you ask anyone who hasn't been living under a rock- on what is one of the biggest problems facing America- surely a top 3 would be drugs. Drug use is rampant in this country- it has destroyed many families and has poisoned many neighborhoods and a good portion of our prison population has some drug lated crime Drug abuse affects all different races and income levels.
If you get to the root of the problem- if you were to trace the source of every single illegal drug on the streets of America- 99.9% of will get traced back and have connections to a Mexican Cartel. Mexican Cartels are Mexico's version of ISIS- cross them wrong or interfere with them and you lose your life and/or your head. Actually the Mexican Cartel has beheaded far more people than ISIS and Al-Queada combined. In fact here is a couple articles proving that the Cartels are more dangerous than ISIS: http://elitedaily.com/news/world/mex...-ebola/806049/ http://ultraculture.org/blog/2014/10...xican-cartels/ and http://www.hightimes.com/read/cartel...r-problem-isis
It's only a matter of time, before the GOP plays the guilt game by association and connect every law abiding peaceful Mexican American with either be an illegal immigrant(already happened in Arizona) or trying to align them with the Cartel. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911
