One thing was for certain.  President Ronald Reagan was no coward. 

That said, whatever happened to those “Tear Down the Wall” Reagan Republicans?  Did the Tea Party silence them all?  When will those ol’ Reagan Republicans tear down the walls and storm through the barricades within their own?

How is it that those old time Reagan Republicans advocated for tearing down walls in other countries, but they are nowhere to be found when it comes to our very own back yard?

Remember when Americans applauded President Ronald Reagan when he went overseas and advocated Tearing Down the Walls?  “Tear down this wall!” was the challenge issued by United States President Ronald Reagan to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to destroy the Berlin Wall, in a speech at the Brandenburg Gate near the Berlin Wall on June 12, 1987, commemorating the 750th anniversary of Berlin. Reagan challenged Gorbachev, who was then the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to tear it down as an emblem of Gorbachev’s desire to increase freedom in the Eastern Bloc.

How was it right to tell other Nations to tear down their walls when we don’t take our own advice?

How is it that we spend millions and billions of dollars destroying other Nations and wasting billions to rebuild their infrastructure?  Don’t you think it’s time we stop bombing other nations and wasting billions of tax payer dollars just to rebuild what we bomb?   Don’t you think it’s time decreasing throwing our money away while investing it in our own continent instead?

Am I advocating for open borders?

No, I am not.

I realize we are living in the post 9-11 era, and as a veteran of the Armed Forces, I do believe in secure borders with a reasonable legal immigration plan.  We must think with foresight, and if all hell breaks loose (and it will), it is imperative our neighborly relations with Mexico and Canada are in pristine condition.  The American government has taken a position advocating there to be peace in the Mideast as we call countries to be more neighborly – and we must follow our own advice.

I repeat, mayhem will eventually break out in other parts and continents of the world.  It is imperative we have the ultimate back-up plan with our soil neighbors.

It is imperative we have a back-up plan with our neighboring countries and look to our tri-country continent resources – pulling them together in the event of a global disaster.

May Americans continue to rise without a party affiliation and look to what is in the best interest of our Nation instead of an organization(s) that has proven to be divisive.   We are the United States – not the divided states, and it is hella time for an American party to rise up from this mess.  As an independent voter, I can say this with great conviction.  Our greatest strength is unity, and when we capture that idea and harness it — we will survive the hard times.

I leave you with this video below  by Gary Johnson who was a long time Republican and left the GOP for the Libertarian Party.  Gary Johnson was a Republican Governor of New Mexico.

Libertarian Candidate and high profile attorney Marc J. Victor makes an excellent watchman and I am enjoying finding out how he is putting career politician Jeff Flake in check with Liberty issues.

Victor writes:

Senate Candidate Marc J. Victor Criticizes Jeff Flake’s Vote To Spy On Americans

“…Mr. Victor goes on to say, “With this vote, one must ask, if Jeff Flake has such little regard for privacy and rights of Americans, what other police state-type measures would he also support? Senate Candidate Jeff Flake has assisted in directing our country on an Orwellian path of domestic surveillance with obvious disregard for the Bill of Rights and the civil liberties of Americans. Arizonans have long had an independent streak, cherished liberty and resisted the growth of big government. With this latest vote for warrantless surveillance, Senate Candidate Jeff Flake has demonstrated an inability or unwillingness to protect freedom and help return our nation to the principles that made us a great nation. ”

About Marc Victor: Marc J. Victor, aka “Attorney for Freedom” is a practicing criminal defense attorney with offices in Chandler, Arizona, since 1994….”

Nebraska Governor Heineman is attacking baby and prenatal care again, but this time he is threatening to  opposes lawmaker pay raise.

Here’s the story:

Heineman opposes lawmaker pay raise because of veto override

Will lawmakers choose the protection of life and compassionate acts?  Or will the the Nebraska lawmakers choose money?

Time will tell, and we will record who stands on the right side of American history as it relates to the treatment of fellow man.  Either you believe all men were created equal or you don’t.

A little background on a previous story we wrote about the Nebraska Governor:

Gov. Dave Heineman is no Christian Compassionate person as he bullies women and children again. Emulates Arizona Governor.

I’ve known for some time that the Republican Party has been corrupted with bigotry via FAIR and the John Tanton network.  The Tanton network has certain states within their sites and control, and now Nebraska is on their radar.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is an anti-immigration ‘movement,’ that began by one man, John Tanton. Tanton was the organizer and President of the Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood Association between 1965-1971, and in 1975 he wrote The Case for Passive Eugenics where his letters and memos are a public collection at the Bentley Historical Library.   Tanton has clear connections to Pioneer Fund and Numbers USA where  Pioneer Fund’s eugenic ideas (selective breeding of humans)  supported a variety of institutions that legitimize race “science”, including the journal Mankind Quarterly, which today is published by long-time eugenicist, anti-Semite and Pioneer grant recipient Roger Pearson.

There are Republicans who claim to be pro life but are not.  For those who don’t know about John Tanton, he is anti-semitic, anti-immigrant and anti-everything.  The Republican Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman is at it again with attacking women and children again.  This is the same so called “pro lifer” who

tried to attack birth right citizenship under the 14th Amendment of our Constitution of the United States via NE LB 599.

State can restore prenatal care to undocumented moms

Now he is at it again.

The Nebraska Governor not only will be bullying Deferred Action (DACA) beneficiaries but also VAWA (women victims of domestic abuse) beneficiaries with his recent proclamation in denying driver licenses to some Nebraska residents.  FULL STORY HERE>>>

I’m diggin’ the fact that Senate Candidate Richard Carmona invoked high profile attorney and Libertarian Marc Victor against Jeff Flake!

I met Libertarian Senate Candidate Marc Victor and was impressed to find out what some of his views were — especially as it relates to Mexico.  To my pleasant surprise, I was happy to hear how Richard Carmona addressed Jeff Flake’s hypocrisy with Libertarian Marc J. Victor.  Additionally, many people don’t know this, but both Carmona and Victor are veterans of our Armed Forces so both individuals put their money where their mouths are when it comes to the Love of our Nation.

Richard Carmona Advertisement Uses Marc Victor against Jeff Flake

I think my readers know by now how much I appreciate Richard Carmona for U.S. Senate because he has a bipartisan record and views.  Jeff Flake does not.   On the other hand, I like Libertarian Marc Victor, too, because he spanks Jeff Flake’s hypocrisy on trade relationships with Mexico.

Arizona voters do not want another “shirtless career politician” for Senate via Jeff Flake, Nay…we want someone who puts Americans first in D.C.

I have my ideas on why Arizona has suffered economically, and Arizona has suffered economically due to  restrictionist and protectionist career politicians like Jeff Flake.

According to Latintelligence:

Mexico also is a friendly source of oil, O’Neil noted. It’s the United States’ third largest supplier behind Canada and Saudi Arabia, according to the U.S. Energy

The economy in Mexico is recovering faster than the United States.

Information Administration.

“So keeping our lights on and our cars going depend today much on Mexico,” she said.

Since the two countries share a border, they also share the problems and responsibilities of regulating the environment, preventing drug trafficking and maintaining security.

Every president of Mexico has had a different take on U.S. relations, but all of the top contenders in the current race have indicated they will work with the United States, said O’Neil.

The economy in Mexico is recovering faster than the United States. Helping transform Mexico’s economy is a growing middle class, she said. View a chart of GDP growth in both countries:

“Thirty-plus years ago, Mexico was a commodity-driven, oil-driven, inward-looking economy,” said O’Neil. “Today it is a manufacturing and services-based economy, export-led with a focus on the U.S. market and that is fundamentally different than just a few decades ago.”

Partly because of Mexico’s economic growth, immigration between the two countries has slowed to a net zero last year. The slowdown also can be attributed to a demographic shift in Mexico in the last several years, O’Neil said. “There are fewer Mexicans turning eighteen and looking for jobs than there were in the past. And more and more Mexicans are staying in school longer and investing in their future and investing in their skills. So they’re not leaving the country. They’re not thinking about going abroad at fifteen or sixteen anymore, they’re staying in school.”

Mexico is becoming an increasingly urban society as well, said O’Neil. “So the old days of a campesino (peasant) wearing a sombrero riding a burro—it’s a reality for a few Mexicans now, but very few. It’s a more urban society. And that’s a total transformation from back in the fifties or sixties.”

Helping drive the current conditions is a transformed government. “There are still problems with corruption, accountability and transparency—in particular at the state level,” she said. “But it also is a democracy. They’re about to have elections that almost everywhere in the world people think are going to be free and fair. And that’s something new.”

We hope to see former Texas Mayor Julian Castro help turn the State of Texas turn purple soon.  He is set to speak as keynote speaker for the DNC tonight at 10:00 pm eastern time or 7:00 pm Arizona time.

We need more rising stars like Castro to root out the Republican Congressman Lamar Smith extremists.  Someone like Lamar Smith should not hold power in Texas for much longer and he knows it.  Republicans are the modern day Dixiecrats and are so last generation. They no longer believe in the big tent, which is why we see the Democratic Party working harder for the Latino vote …  and for those of you critics who think Latinos do not want to get wooed — WE DO.

LATINOS HAVE BEEN WANTING BOTH PARTIES TO WORK HARDER FOR OUR LOVE AND THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.  It’s about freakin’ time, too!

According to WIKI:

Castro was born in San Antonio on September 16, 1974^[2] to Maria “Rosie” Castro and Jessie Guzman.^[3] He is the identical twin brother of politician Joaquín Castro.^[2] His mother was a Chicano political activist who helped establish the chicano political party La Raza Unida.

So why does Mexican-American Julian Castro trump Cuban-American Sen. Marco Rubio?

Easy.  It’s a numbers game.

Almost 70% of the entire Hispanic Population pie consists of those who are of Mexican descent while Cubans consist of only 3% of the Hispanic population pie.

Get the picture?

Cuban Republicans like Sen. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are for Cuban amnesty while damning the Mexican, Irish, Indian immigrants.  In other words, the immigration issue doesn’t hurt them as much as it does us because they receive amnesty.  Cuban Republicans have squandered their Latino street credibility and in my view it is time for the dog to wag the tail instead of the other way around.

Mexican-American voters are the gold mine due to our sheer numbers and voting strength that will be off the hook as years go on.  Hallelujah to that!

Julian Castro, the “real” Latino rising star and latest Mexican-American/Chicano heart throb.

Just in from the Daily Kos which confirms what I have known in my gut all along.  Republicans are abandoning states with heavy Hispanic population and focusing on the northeastern part of the United States.  Republicans are the modern day DIXIECRATS who don’t want a big tent.  They are after the white vote while damning all minorities and suppressing the elderly vote, the handicapped, and disabled voters, too.

The Republican Party is so last generation.

From Daily Kos:

Dose of Tequila, this is what winning in November looks like two months out. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is pulling its resources out of New Mexico, which until recently was considered a toss-up race by election forecasters. Further, the NRSC is shifting the $3 million it had reserved for New Mexico to North Dakota, which until recently was a Senate race Republicans thought they could take for granted. By essentially conceding what was supposed to be a toss-up race in order to hang on to what was supposed to be a safe one, Republicans are admitting they are losing the battle for the Senate. This makes it clear Democrats can not only defend the Senate, but that progressives can upgrade the Senate with candidates like Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, Chris Murphy in Connecticut, Mazie Hirono in Hawaii, Martin Heinrich in New Mexico, and Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin.

(Above) Aguirre signs vandalized.

Are Raul Grijalva supporters vandalizing (D) Latina Candidate Amanda Aguirre campaign signs?  If they are, I will be the first to call them machistas!

We are noticing how Grijalva signs remain untouched.  Here is a link to a story about Ruben Reyes Grijalvas staffer caught with the oppositions signs in his car.

I am a registered Independent voter in Arizona … but let’s hope the Democratic average voter is smart enough to choose John Rowan in the Democratic Primary election come August 28, 2012, else, Paul Penzone is gonna look like a simpleton during general election time.  Here is an image of what the campaign will shape into if Paul Penzone (alleged wife beater) beats John Rowan in Democratic Primary.

Answer key: Candidate 1 is Arpaio. Candidate 2 is Mike Stauffer. Candidate 3 is Penzone. This is precisely why we support independent candidate Mike Stauffer for Sheriff. This picture cannot make it any clearer to the reasonable voter.
