Ay caramba! Norte Mexicano's segundo Dia del Mayo

What is it with the concept of ILLEGAL immigration and Mexico that liberals seem to be so unable to connect? Why do we have 12 MILLION illegals within our borders? Isn't anyone watching our border, or is it all too easy to saunter north into the USA and mooch off the people.

Why do these illegal immigrants feel that they are entitled to MORE than the legal immigrants? What have they done to deserve to cut into the front of the line of legal immigrants who have gone through the necessary due process? To allow amnesty is to reward their illegal behaviour and will only serve as precedent for more amnesties in the future.

Why bother to assimilate when the US allows them the privilege of ballots in 15 or so languages? Driver tests and DMV forms in more languages. What happens to the immigrant who takes the test in a native language yet still has to read those pesky English only road signs?

We have US banks and now a local credit union vying for their money, why not spend as much effort on regulating our border? Nah, no cheap labor for Los Estados Unidos!!! Ever notice how Home Depot caters to the illegals while Lowe's clearly does NOT?! A compelling argument to boycott Home Depot and support Lowe's. While Home Depot would never hire any illegals, they sure do cater to them as cheap labor for contractors.

Has anyone noticed the very left liberal connection of May 1st as a universal dia del revolucion? Coincides neatly with the Marxist May day parades of communism, and many other leftist anti-democratic revolutions. Illegal immigrant rights groups are clearly and openly identifying with a very anti American ideal.

Espanol esta segunda lingua por Los Estados Unidos?

Not if I can help it!!!

When has Spanish become the unofficial "official" second language of this country?

While it is nice to help those Mexicans who refuse or can't learn to speak English, why do we as a country spend so much effort catering to one specific ethnic identity which refuses to assimilate? Most other ethnic groups fall into such at third place category as to only garner very local second language usage for street signs or business signs. Why does this country spend so much effort capitulating to Mexico?

As an economy, Mexico hardly poses a threat to America, yet we seem uncharacteristically afraid of any action that might be perceived as American-nationalistic toward Mexico. The very idea of maintaining a secure border with Mexico is seen by liberals as unAmerican, yet with the same breath, we strive to secure our airports against foreign invasion to a degree unsurpassed at the US-Mexico border!!!

Perhaps it will take as "peaceful" muslim* terrorist coming in via the Mexican border to scare the liberal establishment into taking proper action to secure our border.

Maybe it is time to pull our troops from Iraq and have them protecting our border here instead? Personally I feel we will need to maintain troop presence in Iraq to control the warring factions and prevent a power vacuum which allows unsavory (to the US) leaders from rising to power.





*Keeping in mind that islam professes to be a religion of peace while advocating the killing of all who are considered un-convertable infidels.

Back to our usual programming

Well after my posts here regarding a certain BBS that I rarely frequent (or will mention) anymore, perhaps I should write about new BBS sites that hold considerbly more promise than an ailing "Byzantine Catholic" board. Byzcath.org has succumbed to being a battleground between rival camps who are more stubborn than mules.

The bright side of BBS's comes from gems like these which I have devoted more of my time to:

Metalillness.com

Metropolitan Cantor Institute

Practical Machinist

Last post about Byzcath....I hope

"My priest said last night that he is upset. That all the priests are upset. I do not know this Professor Thompson but my priest told me that he is a former Roman Catholic priest. So it is clericalism all the way around. Why did the bishops hire a former Roman Catholic priest to be in charge of our music? My priest also told me that the bishops hired a Roman Catholic choir from Chicago to make the tapes of how to sing the New Divine Liturgy. Why are the bishops bringing in Roman Catholics to teach Byzantine Catholics how to sing? I guess that shows that the bishops think that Roman Catholics are better. We sing very well in my parish thank you. "

Though tonight your priest now indicates he learned of PROF Thompson's past with the Johnstown Orthodox Diocese. Your priest, like many on this board unfortunately repeated incorrect information without bothering to verify it. It is such behaviour that has fueled such distrust and disagreement within our church. In this age of instant communication such misinformation spread about carelessly, while not slanderous in intent, has the same effect upon the individual as deliberate slander. Once slander gets out, it becomes harder to rectify the slander even when evidence (truth) clearly shows the misinformation.

While we have dislikes, disagreements, and discussions about the "RDL","NDL","revisionist" liturgy here, we should not use the bulletin board as a platform for scapegoating or defamation.

Ahh, those angry forum moderators

So....it seems the forum administrator, or moderator, did finally look at my blog and decided that my user level of "read my blog" did in fact touch a nerve. It was manifested in the ubiquitous selective changing of my user status field to dissuade any others from reading this blog. At least I know someone from Byzcath.org read my commentary on the micromanegerial style of moderation now prevalent there since the gradual morphing into the more subtly Orthodox leanings of a supposedly faithful Catholic board. A BBS which has advocated through its forums DISOBEDIENCE TO OUR BISHOPS AND METROPOLITAN.
