If that was Alex Jones calling for armed revolution they'd already have him and his entire extended family in Gitmo.

I think it's ridiculous and overblown to call for violence because Americans want to protect the border. I find it overblown to call someone racist just because the group that is most responsible for breaking the law are brown. Their color doesn't make them break the law anymore than it makes one racist for calling a criminal a criminal.
I watched a lady on Larry King today(She was with Penn from Penn & Teller)Talking about how the Tea Party's shouldn't be listened to because they are white and middle class, equating being white and middle class with being racist.
It's the same damned game on every chessboard in this country. Play the race card, the extremist card, the economic status card...If you don't support the BS you're racist.

He clearly indicates that "our commandante is Fidel Castro" and that "the enemy is capitalism and imperialism". Last I heard, Castro is/was the leader of the communist party of Cuba, and those phrases/his speech are a regular part of their dogma. What is
sad is that the communist regularly try (and sometimes succeed to a limited degree) to infiltrate central and south america, taking advantage of circumstances/situations within those countries when they deem the time is right to be effective in their efforts.
For more information on his "commandante", go here:

Colonization of Texas C.S. Roberts House The Alamo, San Antonio Early colonization efforts in present Texas date from the 18th century and reflect royal commissions by both Spain and France. Spanish colonies first centered on the missions, but in the late 1740s more concentrated programs along the lower Rio Grande developed under the direction of Jose de Escandon in the region he named Nuevo Santander. French colonial claims to Texas came several decades later, when Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle established Fort St. Louis. Both countries experienced limited success in their colonization efforts, and large-scale settlement of Texas did not take place until the 19th century. In 1821, the year Mexico gained independence from Spain, Stephen F. Austin received permission from the Mexican government to settle a colony of 300 families, now known as the "Old Three Hundred," in Southeast Texas. Although Anglo Americans were already living in Texas at the time, Austin's settlement was the official beginning of Anglo American colonization in Texas. By 1836, 35,000 to 50,000 people had settled in Texas. By 1835, Stephen F. Austin was convinced that war with Mexico was necessary to secure freedom. Growing tension in Texas was the result of cultural, political and religious differences between the American settlers and the Mexican government. In response to the unrest, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the president of Mexico, reinforced Mexican troops in Texas. A battle fought at Gonzales on October 2, 1835, in which the Mexican forces were thwarted in their efforts to retrieve a cannon, gave rise to the famous flag bearing the words "Come and Take It." Though there were earlier minor skirmishes, the Battle of Gonzales is generally considered to be the first battle for Texas' independence. The Battle of the Alamo, lasting nearly two weeks, ended on March 6, 1836, with the deaths of all its defenders (numbering about 190). The Mexican army of Santa Anna numbered 4,000 to 5,000 during its final charge. Among those killed were David Crockett, Jim Bowie and William B. Travis. A subsequent massacre of Texans who had surrendered at Goliad on March 27 led to the battle cry of Texas' independence, "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!"
I would compare it more to the dismembering of a pinata, than to a Civil War.

Looks like we're on the route to another Civil War in the United States.

My fear is that some small outbreak of violence could lead to a much larger conflict... And only then will the government see a reason to act.
Too late.

The thought of the whole situation is sickenning. People getting kicked out of school for wearing american flag shirts. Why, cause someone will get offended. illegal aliens wandering all over the U.S.A, why? because some agencies are not doing there job. America i say, is runneth thy cup over. You know you can only put so much water in a glass. people are the same,you know you can only put so many people in U.S.A before it cannot support itself. jobs. Come on people, its a fact. We need to kick out all illegals of all races, thats not discriminate. Lets clean up america. Take in no more citizens and take care of the ones we have here. I hate to say it, but its true. I'm not racist, we just have to many people and not enough buisnesses to take care of us all. Take out the drug cartells, the MS-13, the kkk, the greedy and others and see America shine. I say arizona is sick and tired of being sick and tired of the agencies that handle illegals not being enforced. What good is a law when its not getting enforced. In other words, what good is a border if illegals keep comming back in. Im not cold hearted either, I hate to see a poor child going hungry. Nomatter what race. Lets take care of our own. We have enough people to deal with.
