okay

Unless you're a Hispanic business owner in Dallas and you own a chain of pizza restaurants called Pizza Patron.

I still think it sounds better if you say:

Unless you are an Hispanic business owner in Dallas...

But that is just my take!

My name does not suggest any

My name does not suggest any intolerance, only what my beliefs are. Only one intolerant of atheists would claim that calling oneself an atheist implies intolerance.

I have never claimed to be the most progressive, the best person, or the fairest Democrat. I think perhaps you're projecting.

What you implied, and that I find objectionable, is that you have a problem with a promo involving people ordering in Spanish. That's intolerance, and it also affects legal immigrants.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall; who's the fairest Democrat, best person, most progressive of them all?

With your vanity, I suppose you convince yourself; it's you?

The only intolerance I have, is for unlawfulness.

Legal immigrants are welcome.

Your intolerance, as expressed by your name , leads to a never ending vicious cycle.

You built the strawman of intolerance. When all that I implied was, I am against land grabbing

In reply to You figure, just because

Tu quoque is an especially egregious logical fallacy coming from someone who pretends to be a Christian. (Mama, sis hit me! He hit me first! Did not! Did too!)

Two wrongs don't make a right. That's not to say we can't have a sensible immigration policy, but to justify ethnic intolerance (handed out to both those who are here illegally and those who are here legally) on a basis that the ethnicity in question has a history of intolerance itself leads to a never ending vicious circle.

Aunt Sam, Satan's Surrogates would do these sorts of things, NOT A CHRISTIAN

Satan Ate My Government! Is an affront to all Christians

I've just discovered that it was YOU, that brought forth this trash talk.

In reply to Let me point out something

You figure, just because Mexico claims all territory of the West, they are entitled to disregard the indigenous tribes?

Mexicans telling the Apaches in Arizona, We the Mexican Government, claim all these lands.

Mexico telling tribes of California, this is our land now.

As I remember, Texas had both American and Mexican immigrants.

Take note of the reversal

1) Santa Anna fearing the Americans were about to take control of Texas, brought in his troops to impose his rule.

2) ~~Santa Anna~~ Americans fearing the ~~Americans~~ Mexicans ~~were~~ are about to take control of ~~Texas~~, America, brought in ~~his~~ troops to impose ~~his~~ their rule.

Its okay for Santa Anna to try to kick Americans out; but when Americans try the same thing, some people call foul?

Is it possible?

While America was busy fighting the French/ Indian war - 1763

Louisiana purchase 1803

Then the war of 1812,

While we were preoccupied defending against invaders from across the Atlantic; the Spanish conquerors saw an opportunity, to cut off Americas opportunity to expand west?

They knew we had eyes on the west (Louisiana purchase 1803) Knowing full well, they couldn't hold control of it anyway, they tried to block us .

When America could finally focus towards the west

Only to find, the Mexican opportunists had tried a land grab

Alamo 1836

Just as the French and the British, tried to stick this new country, called The United States of America.

Santa Anna tried and he temporarily succeeded. We fought back against his expansionist plans.
