“Your time to take this country over”

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 3, 2008 10:04 AM

Chris Kelly notes that if a person of non-color talked like George Lopez did while urging Latino voters to support Barack Obama, he/she would be run out of town on a rail.

Hollywood television celebrity and popular comedian George Lopez brought U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s message of hope and change Wednesday afternoon to an estimated 1,200 potential young voters at the University of Texas at El Paso.

“It is the time of the Latino, your time to step up, your time to take this country over,” Lopez said, eliciting applause. “But si se puede doesn’t mean anything unless you go out and make it happen.”

Meanwhile, the Hillary camp courts Latinos with this: “”Vóte por Mamá, no Obama!” (Vote for Mama, not Obama!).”

    Lopez’ comments remind me of a better comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, “…it’s a game of world domination being played by two guys who can barely run their own lives.”

    ¡Si, se puede! :lol:

    If Lopez were refering to Mexico, I’d be in complete agreement with him.

    George Lopez is typical of your Hispanics. That is why the Democrats are seriously deluding themselves. Democrats think that Illegal Immigrants will be another dependant class, dependant on thier largesse of taxpayer dollars.
    TRUTH:

    Isn’t it so wonderful how many groups of people want to ‘take this country over’. The question for the rest of Americans who have been here forever is . . . why should we let them?

    But the premise of this post is accurate. Imagine a skinhead claiming that ‘now is the time for white power’. All the news stations would be clamoring over themselves to cover such a racist novelty.

    I have a problem with this:

    “It is the time of the Latino, your time to step up, your time to take this country over,” Lopez said, eliciting applause. “But si se puede doesn’t mean anything unless you go out and make it happen.”

    Is he referring to the Reconquista? Doesn’t Lopez have anything better to do with his talents than this? What does this mean?

    Or is he saying, go ahead and vote for Obama so that he will guarantee that you and your relatives will live on the dole for life! Latino’s don’t “own” this country and the American taxpayers don’t owe them anything. Pathetic.

    Every liberal’s fantasy is to be incarcerated with black and Hispanic gang members and forced to perform sex acts, so dominant talk from macho males like Lopez just increases their appeal to pro-illegals.

    If I hear or read one more time that we owe them and that they somehow have rights in this country, I will tear my hair out!

    If Obama gets in, it will give them that much more guts to infiltrate this country like a cancer, and it will spread and spread…SAD.

    “Time to take this country over”

    At least liberals are admitting now why they want so many illegal immigrants and uncontrolled immigration–to move us over to socialism, with the help of Latinos who vote for Democratic socialists and Marxists, like Hussein Obama. They then turn our country into the countries that they left.

    Obama is the Hugo Chavez for our country.

    As long as we continue to do essentially nothing to stop the inflow of illegals, it will be a fait accompli (o mejor dicho, un hecho consumado) in a decade or two anyway.

    Build the fence! Catch and incarcerate illegals in tent prisons, then deport them. Fine and imprison employers who hire illegals - put them in the tent prisons too. Elect legislators who have the will and the backbone to do it.

    Otherwise our country will be forever changed and not for the better.

    While our politicians continually pander to Hispaics, they are graciously crap on Americans every chance they get. I think that it’s time for Americans to take America back and send the third world trash (illegal aliens) back to where they came from.

    Lopez is the Louis Farrahkan of Latinos. They speak in terms of their own race and have the unmitigated gall to call white people racists.

    This is the legacy of the Ted Kennedy liberals. They’ve practically surrendered our country in less than one generation after over 200 years of hard work and people dying for it.

    By all means, elect Obama so he can finsh the job.

    If people would open their eyes, they would see that the comment is not all that far fetched.

    About one third of Mexico’s population now lives inside the US. ONE THIRD. While there are many out there who are loathe to call this an invasion, it cannot be denied that those numbers reflect a colonization. Juan Hernandez’s “New Pioneers” who are now poised to fulfill the dreams reconquista.

    One has to wonder how many of these people actually want to become US citizens. With all we hear of the Mexico first crowd, it sounds highly unlikely that the Mexicans living here would renounce Mexico in favor of the US.

    And before someone wails that I am focusing on Mexico as the big problem, I am only repeating what I have gleaned from Mexico’s officials. Juan Hernandez’s Mexico First diatribes. Calderon’s repeated assaults on Us citizens and sovereignity, including his most recent visit to influence the election. Mexican legislators visits to the Southwest, complaining of our laws that are forcing the return of their citizens to their native soil. And finally, groups like MeCha and La Raza, who ardently back reconquista and pursue a blatantly racist agenda for “the race”.

    When another country encourages a third of its population to illegally infiltrate into the US and demand to be permitted to stay as their right, that is a clear warning of imminent danger to our sovereignity. These actions and sheer numbers reflect the implementation of a well executed plan that is designed to circumvent the US Constitution without a shot being fired.

Bush is most to blame for abandoning his responsibility to protect this country from invasion…but no,… he cares more about Iraq than his own damn country. The man is a traitor…and this is deliberate on his part.

    Ok, so let me get this straight - he is openly advocating for the overthrow of the US government and his own group to take over?

    Any guesses as the reaction if a white group did this?

    George Lopez is a token who thinks he’s funny. He a typical Mexican General. Plays the role but knows not the game. The Mexicans lost Texas a long time ago and I’d make the Texan’s a 21 point favorite to do it again. It will take more than these pompous taco kings can imagine to take over an American that’s home to 200 million guns and almost that many citizens that can shoot straight. Those Mexicans who think they can take over America by saying boo at the old folks should first talk with John Horn a proud Texas gun owner.

    Vicki, someone asked me if I ever watched that and I said that sometimes I did but I would rather watch “Everyone Loves Raymond” reruns instead. I got called a racist as well. And Laree if he is going to Kuwait, he should. He’s safe and happy as are all the celebs. They owe the troops something besides some stupid thing at the Oscars where the troops wound up thanking them instead of the other way around. Others go quietly, I always question the ones who make sure everyone knows they went to see the troops. I did that when I was a member of the troops as well.

    Antonio Villaraigosa: Alcalde de Los Angeles?

    by
    Hector Carreon
    La Voz de Aztlan

    Los Angeles, Alta California - May 13, 2005 - (ACN) “EL Pueblo de Nuestra Señora La Reina de Los Angeles” may again have a mayor (alcalde) of Mexican descent after more than 133 years. Antonio Villaraigosa, a former student leader of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), may take over the mayor’s office of the second largest city in the country on Tuesday. According to the polls, Antonio Villaraigosa is on the average 12 points ahead of incumbent Mayor James Hahn with only 4 days left before voting day.

    Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by Mexican families primarily from Sinaloa, Sonora and Jalisco. From 1781 to 1822 all of the mayors were born in Mexico but from 1823 to 1848 they were mostly native Angelinos, sons of Mexican families who owned vast “Ranchos” in the area. The first white occupation mayor was a migrant from Missouri by the name of Stephen Foster. Foster commenced his term as mayor in 1848, the year when the Mexican-American War ended, and one year before Alta California was invaded by hordes of whites looking for gold. The “Gold Rush 49ers” were mostly unsavory characters. They were foul-mouth rowdy thiefs and gamblers from the east who negatively transformed the peaceful culture of the region. Their effect on the local culture is today immortalized on a City of Baldwin Park public monument with the inscribed words, “It was better before they came”.

    The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) has done wonders concerning the political re-empowerment of La Raza. The organization’s opening of the doors to higher education through student recruitment, politicalization and the formation of Mexican-American study programs has created a very effective cadre of leaders with the will power and know how to do what has to be done. There are now numerous MEChA alumni at all levels of government and one, Cruz Bustamante, came very close to defeating the immigrant from Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the governorship of the state. The last Mexican governor of Alta California was Pio de Jesus Pico. Governor Pio Pico was forced to flea to Mexico in 1846 by US occupation military forces. The election of a governor of Mexican descent in Alta California is just a matter of time.

    an aging and unproductive white population is a major factor in the ongoing transformation. The white population, primarily paper-pushers, are loosing their grip on political power. One perfect example within this element are some white hate radio jocks who make a living by using their mouths to blurt ethnic hate. They produce nothing concrete of value. They produce no food, shelter, or clothing but only pollute the airwaves with their broadcasts.

    A large and vigorous turnout of Labor on Tuesday will assure the election of Antonio Villaraigosa. La Voz de Aztlan compliments Antonio Villaraigosa for never repudiating MEChA under the intense pressure exerted by the English language media. The example set by Cruz Bustamante is noble and Antonio Villaraigosa is to be commended for his courageous resistance.

    On Tuesday, flags may be flying and autos seen with bumper stickers saying, “Los Angeles Today, Alta California Tomorrow”. God Bless Aztlan!
