DIATRIBE?!? Ramblings, may be, but last time I checked, if I was making a diatribe, I would have been attacking something. I wasn't attacking any one or any thing. I was expressing some ideas (okay, ramblings may be a good word) that had been floating around in my head for a whilst, and I thought that I'd see what kind of varied opinions that I could get out of people. It wasn't meant to descend in to the sort of diatribes that you and I have begun to engage in betwixt ourselves, rather it was more of a: "Do you believe this or not, and why?" When did I use the term "Hispanic invasion?" The only invasion per se is of illegal Hispanic immigrants. Immigration is all well and good if it's legal. I have several Hispanic friends who have lived in Texas for generations, others who legally came to Texas (not border-jumping, but doing the whole green card bit, et cetera). Illegal immigration is tearing away and will continue to tear away at the economy by flooding it with too many people who should be elsewhere. And look at how everything's starting to be written in English and Spanish in Texas and across the Southwest. That's just catering to illegal aliens. This nation has ONE national language, and it should stay that way or face the terrible consequences of a nation split down the middle betwixt those who have a legal right to be here and those who just walked right in. And I am aware of those demographic statistics of which you speak, are they not evident of past illegal immigration? My use of "Anglo" is just that which you can find in any textbook or dictionary: descendants of Englishmen. It's not meant in a racist way, only to specify my specific heritage. "Longs for the days of killing invading Mexicans?!?" What the fuck?! Back this up a second, when did I say a thing about killing any one? I just think that there are a lot of people here who shouldn't be here, that doesn't mean that I want to have any one killed! My definition of "Texian" is the exact same one that my family has used for 150 years or so. It is equally applicable to the descendants of any Blacks, Mexicans, whatever, that fought to free Texas from Mexico. I really hope that we can come away from this with an amicable conclusion. What is your basis for thinking that I'm such swine any way?
