I don’t consider the USA to be stolen land, but suppose we were to agree to be neighborly and gave them back the entire US southwest, EXACTLY AS IT EXISTED WHEN IT WAS “STOLEN.” Suppose we could magically wipe it all back to barren land…no homes, businesses, industry, roads, public services…just he virgin land they so desperately want back. Then suppose that, at the same time the land was turned over, we could also magically wall that off from what was left of the USA.

Would they be satisfied to have “their” land back and take responsibility for it to make it into the paradise they assume it could have been, or would they be climbing the wall?

Why is it so hard for modern-day Americans to acknowledge the sins of their past?

I’m not saying this country isn’t deserving of redemption. It is. There have always been and will continue to be courageous Americans who will go against the tide and work to make this country better for future generations.

So this man puts up a sign (on his private property) airing his grievances with perceived injustices committed by the county and city he lives in. Contrary to the outrageous claims by some previous posters, the sign does not explicitly display any specific hate speech or incite a call to violence. So what gives? Does the first amendment of the US Constitution have no significance anymore? This is a clearly a case of the local authorities attempting to suppress a citizen’s constitutional right to free speech through the dubious use of a technicality regarding building permits or some other trivial matter … all because they don’t want to be publicly embarrassed by the exposure of their policies and actions. Well, you reap what you sow.

I somewhat agree that PWC’s immigrations policies, as draconian and heavy-handed as they are, aren’t really the equivalent of the gross atrocities committed by the KKK, but the mans’ tendency toward exaggeration can be addressed in a more constructive and civilized manner than advocating trespass and destruction of his property.

To John Burton:

Advocating vandalism and destruction is not an act of civil disobedience. Anyone who claims so does not understand the nature of civil disobedience. Mr. Fernandez is a private citizen, not a civil authority … meaning he’s not “the man.” Stop being so irresponsible in your statements.

I just beleive this sign is spouting hatred towards a segment of the community. It is disrespectfull of our heritage and culture.

It is NOT pro-immigrant it is ANTI-european.

It needs to be brought down by citizens as a demonstration that we will NOT be treated this way.

I realize that you can not condone illegal actions on your site, and have never done so. (Though I think destroying the wall is civil disobience and protest).
I will respect that by not posting any farther on your site.
Thank you.

Does no one have the courage to simply destroy it?
Why?

We need to join together. Pick a day and DO IT.
It needs to be brought down.

Anyone willing to do so?….

….

Read what Teddy Roosevelt said about immigration, language and the borders. Read the Constitution and the protections it affords its CITIZENS.

That is my free speech and it is the truth. I don’t have to listen to some stupid, ignorant rant about how bad we (I) am. That sign can go to hell.

Nothing will destroy a nation faster than group political advocacy along racial, gender, religious or ethnic group lines of group supremacy and self-interests.

Do you have a better explaination for why the rest of the world is fighting ethnic and religious wars? Do you firmly believe these issues of ethnic hatred and ethnic superiority do not exist here in the US?

Do you believe that racial, religious, gender and ethnic groups should proliferate and advocate only for their own politcal agendas (as they are) without taking care of everyone equally?

Would it make sense to you if one of these ethnic, gender, racial, and religious group’s that advocate and demand special privilege and laws that apply only to them was a “white power” political advocacy group?

I’m telling you ALL of them are wrong and hateful. Do you disagree that these groups should not be allowed to operate?

Such concepts will destroy Democracy, hurt all individuals and remove individual freedoms and protection for ALL under fair and equitable laws, resulting in a conflicted and warring society align along racial, gender, religious and ethnic group lines.

What do you think is happening in this national presidential election? Destruction of “integration”, Freedom and Democracy and replacement by political “factions” aligned along racial, gender, religious and ethnic group lines of advocacy. THAT leads to “facism” and militant signs like the one above.

Most of you “social engineers” just don’t get this concept of impending national destruction, because you don’t notice it happening in the rest of the world’s religious, racial, and ethnic group wars. It has come home to America.

You might want to check your own local ordinances, Boy, and see what is allowed and NOT ALLOWED in historic districts…assuming, of course, that you don’t live in a totally primitive area with absolutely no historic districts so the issue is not addressed. If I’m reading correctly, you are advocating breaking the law…is that a distinguishing feature of Yankees? Is lack of appropriate vocabulary also a distinguishing feature?

Freedom did not equal “diversity” and “ethnic group” political power. In the Greek Senate, Freedom and Democracy equaled “individual” rights (only), common law and integration”. Out of many, one. Not out of many, many.

Truth: I am way distant from being a “facist”. I’m trying to save my Nation from self destruction and disintegration from within as a result of its recent belief in destructive socialist ideologies.

I belong to NO ethnic, racial, gender or religious group.

Fascism is a government, faction, movement, or political philosophy that raises nationalism, and frequently race, above the individual and is characterized by a centralized autocratic state governed by a dictatorial head, stringent organization of the economy and society, and aggressive repression of opposition.[1] In addition to placing the interests of the individual as subordinate to that of the nation or race, fascism seeks to achieve a national rebirth by promoting cults of unity, energy and purity.[2][3][4][5]

Fascists promote a type of national unity that is usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, national, racial, and/or religious attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: patriotism, nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, economic planning (including corporatism and autarky), populism, collectivism, autocracy and anti-liberalism (i.e., opposition to political and economic liberalism).[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

The key element in understanding this concept is promotion of a national unity that is based on ethnic, cultural, national, racial or religious attributes. In other words “separate” yourselfs into self-identifying ethnic and religious groups, demand separation into ethnic groups by law and legal advocacy, demand privilege, organize into ethnic aligned social and political groups and then refer to your group as “us” and “them”. i.e. We “demand” that you allow us to claim we are the “real” native Americans. “You” are the oppressors because you will not allow us to segregate into our own ethnic and political groups to defeat you. You will not a allow “us” to break “your” laws. And if you try to stop our cultural revolution, self segregation, refusal to integrate, and not give us our demands for ethnic privilege, we will call you “facists”, “racists” and members of the KKK.

Funny how every militant group advocating “black power”, or “brown power”, “red power”, “yellow power” or “religious power” sees only the “other” group” as the KKK. Oops..what we are really saying is you are “bad” if you are a majority, and you are only bad if you are “white”.

Ignorance, complete ignorance of what “facism and “racism” really means. “racism” is ANY political entity aligned along racial and ethnic group lines advocating for their own special privileges and “laws” while trying to oppress and destroy all other “individuals” not part of their ethnic or racial group using concepts that promote your ethnic group supremacy using a concept of “diversity” that really means “privilege” and “advantage” and “racial” balancing so you get 50% or more political leverage and power even if your ethnic group only represents 10% of the individuals in a nation.

When you see it, you need to denounce it, because it will lead to war and conflict. You have only to look at the rest of the world’s religious and ethnic wars to know this.

The cancer is group segregation, cultural and ethnic group political identification and “diversity” advocacy rather than “integration” advocacy.
