For those going, but what Arizona did is ilegal and will be thrown out

[nadinbrzezinski]

by the Feds.... here is the thing. This speaks to the increasing climate of hate. This is a beast that is now on the loose and the wild. And to be honest, this could end very badly...

You may think I am exaggerating when I say this, but ethnic cleaning is an American tradition (see all those Indian wars), and so is the use of Cheap Labor... coming from oh the dark day of bringing WHITE slaves to the US_ in the form of Children destined for the Tobacco Plantations at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia... and yes you are forgiven if you do not remember hearing of this in school... kind of a nice little chapter in American history most people don't know about.

We have a sordid hsitory, must of it hidden from view, but this little Arizona law is unfortunately consistent with American history... and part of a pattern. Oh and that cheap labor, well you got papers, don't you? And do not expect me to step on Arizonan Territory or spend one damn red cent there. If a company is based there, and it is selling on line. I will not buy from them. Nor will I travel through it's airports... a boycott is on, and I am sure it will hurt some in that state, but this is something that has to be spoken against, or the poison will spread. Oh and how do you tell an illegal? The same way you told a Jew.



And this is about frightening those who are not like us... oh an old American tradition...



And it can end in this....



Or this...



Or this



Oh and spare me the Nazi comparisons... there are reasons why they are valid, but so are the comparisons to our OWN history.

1. amen

this ugliness IS our reality.

history is written by the winners of the wars. our dark victories are shameful.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Nah the problem is that we are very selective on what we

teach as history... to the little impressionable kids. And yes the story of Pohacontas is endearing, but what went around it is not... the first is nice and we "celebrate it" every November... the latter... well a few specialists discuss it in papers and books that only OTHER specialists read about.

Like that white slavery... damn most Americans do not know off it, never mind that one in four Americans were indentured servants or kids of them by Independence.

2. Your subject line is confusing

I think you mean: For thise who say: "but what arizona did..."

but, after all, your analysis is very credible

[Webster Green]

3. The wingnuts are trying to incite civil war during Obama's presidency.

I believe that. It's getting really ugly.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. They WANT a race war... now I am convinced of it

[HipChick]

4. nothing has been learnt since Japanese internment camps

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Au contraire

something has.

Hubby was in the Navy when 9.11 happened. Remember the trial balloon on internment of Arab Americans?

Shall we say there are many rumors of mutiny across the US Fleet.

Why it was withdrawn.

Now has the lesson expanded beyond some areas? Nope. (And the last photo is about that internment)

[LetsgoWings13]

5. While i agree with you that this is completely wrong, i think that is an over exaggerated statement

don't you think its a little out there?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Yep, as exagerated as what happened after the Nuremberg Laws

in 1933... or for that matter the mess in Bosnia Herzegovina oh barely a decade ago.

Or for that matter the internment of Japanese Americans in the US... or the Indian Wars... nope, they were not about ethnic cleansing, no sirree... :sarcasm: but about "manifest destiny."

You are right... it is exaggerated and these demons never lead to these kinds of horrors. They only don't when people fight, actively mind you, against them. But they are now lose... and even this country has seen the horror of them... many times in her history.

22. +1 nt

[shraby]

9. If you think it's an exaggerated statement, you just might

be at the wrong site.

[LetsgoWings13]

12. I'm looking at it from the point that I think the repukes want that kind of power.

I just don't want people to talk like that because I feel it would hurt us. People would think that we are the crazy ones thinking this could happen.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. It has happened... under the leadership of BOTH parties

The Indian wars were pursued by Presidents of BOTH parties, and last time I checked a history book FDR was a DEMOCRAT. He ordered the internment of Japanese Americans... you know why we did not see that after 9/11? Rumors of mutiny across the Armed Forces of the United States. They read history, and chiefly learned from it.

History does not care about party... albeit some historians may.

And to power... those who refuse to speak against this kind of horror are complicit in it.

[LetsgoWings13]

16. exactly, it just proves politicians don't know their history as well as they should.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. As the old song goes, what side are yuo on?

Are you on the side of history? And this means calling this for what it is? Or trying to make this a political issue?

Personally this is more than just an insult to my sensibilities. It puts me in one of two moods. Take passport, and get on the next plane out... or fight. Yes MY FAMILY saw this movie already, in my dad's generation.

Suffice it to say... this is not politics any more, but ethnic warfare.

[eShirl]

23. So what? It's better to not speak out against wrong than that some people think you crazy?

That is cowardice.

[shraby]

24. What do you mean "hurt us". It hurts ALL of America when

idiots do something like this. I cannot abide the type of action that Arizona took. We should all be ashamed of what they did. May it be overturned asap.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Or be like the millions of Americans who do not remember last week

let alone hundred, two hundred, three hundred or four hundred years ago.

That is also an American tradition.

[Ozymanithrax]

7. Yes, this is one of those genuine scary indicators...

No,I won't be traveling to Arizona anytime soon. And I will join the boycott, and that is a boycott of stores with corporate headquarters in that state.

Anyone who chooses to do that should write a letter to the corporate headquarters explaining why you will no longer spend money in their Establishments.

Petsmart
US Airways
University of Phoenix
Best Western...

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Absolutely...

And perhaps we can turn this tide...

[WeDidIt]

14. I'm with you.

Aryanzona can take a flying fucking leap.

[Bobbieo]

19. I am so ashamed of my state and I'm stuck here.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Why we all collectively have to scream

from the rooftops...

(And I know you guys have... Telemundo actually showed it)

[WeDidIt]

17. Those who have said "Never Again" need to speak out and say

"It's happening again and it's happening in Arizona."

If the JDL did that, the veil would be lifted.
