St Augustine FL is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the US and was founded in 1565 by Spaniards..there were earlier Spanish settlements but they were destroyed. followed by Jamestown and Santa Fe NM in 1607 several colonies were established in Canada, Mexico, Central America in the late 1490's and early 1500's..... the Acoma and Taos Pueblos (New Mexico) are the oldest continuously occupied cities/towns in North America.........settled around 1000 CE (CE=common Era).....followed by the Hopi town of Oraibi (Arizona) around 1100 CE

Truth be told, it was those who came in the Mayflower who are considered the "first" settlers, which we all know not to be true. This is among the many lies taught to us at schools. Although, the only ones that can claim to be "true" Americans, North, South and Central, are Native Americans, of which I also have a chunk of. Everyone else has immigrated, mostly illegally to the US. Funnily enough, I would be stopped over in AZ because I don't "look" American, yet my bloodline says otherwise. |

Is that a cactus or a pitchfork? Not to worry, all she's ultimately doing is packaging up the Latino vote and handing it over to the Dems, not only in AZ but across the country (not to mention putting some much-needed pressure on Obama) Thanks, Jan! |

I'm troubled here by what I consider to be both ageist and anti-feminist comments above. As difficult as it is for women of any age to find themselves in positions of power, especially in government, but particularly the battle that women of a certain age face, I see these comments as both unnecessary and hypocritical. If Jan Brewer can be accused of racism, how is it effective to battle her with ageism? Further, I do not see the point in the following statement: What must someone look like in order that they be welcome to speak at a Chicana function?

*I* personally feel she looks like something worse than just a crypt keeper, I could care less of the ol douche was 45 or 89 she just put a hunt sign on my people.. As for a Chicana function.. How about someone from my latino community, who gives a damn and isn't about placing a target on my forehead, not some white woman giving free tickets to racial profiling. But that is just me, ms pretty may have a different view... P.S. My mom called this woman a *cunt* I have NEVER heard her use this word.. So ms pretty was actually kind to what alot of latinos and chicanos are calling her... Just sayin'

Brewer's politics are disturbing and deeply unjust. But to utilize ageism and anti-feminism against her is to only be guilty of the very principles that she upholds. Quote:
I debate what I find to be worthy of debate and it is never personal, nor will it ever be personal. I debate ideas, not people. In such matters ("personal shit," of which we have zero), I am much more direct.

In her press conference, her last words hit me as asinine, it was almost like "come back next week to see what other fuckery I have for you!"
Insane, inane, asinine, racist, and wholly fucked up!

Personally the ageist and anti-feminist comments when right over my head, although I felt a bit of a breeze up there. I kind of thought someone would comment on her looks. If a man in her position had a weathered face, nobody would bat an eye. So, yeah - it's not very cool.
BUT - This woman is the poster child for white privilege. Her arguments, comments as to how this new law will be applied withOUT profiling make absolutely no sense. That didn't deter her from using them. She seems so convinced that she is right that logic has nothing to do with it. She views the world from her position of power and her only concern is to protect that power. To hell with the lives this could disrupt, scar - even destroy. I'd love to see her walk down the street in a predominantly latino neighbourhood and see if her well-practiced smile helps explain away her racist policy.

I watched her press conference in its entirety. I was immediately glad I was not her press secretary. And I also gained a new appreciation for some of the asshats I have worked for in the past, thinking maybe they weren't so bad afterall.

Let me bore you for a minute here...
Let's remember that in 2008, Obama received 67 percent of the Latino vote. This was unprecedented in American politics. In 2004, John Kerry got 53 percent of the Latino vote, compared to 44 percent for George W. Bush -- the most ever received by any Republican presidential candidate.
Latinos were about 9 percent of the total vote in the Obama-McCain election. This number will continue to grow, according to every poll and analysis I have read. Obama was more successful than any Democrat before him in pulling Latino voters. Why? He didn't talk to them like an ethnic group. If you listen to any speech he gave to a primarily Latino audience or in New Mexico, Florida, Colorado or Nevada, he spoke to Latinos about inclusive key issues -- the economy and Iraq. Given that, I think Gov. Brewer's actions do solidify what was already a growing Democratic voting bloc. However, I think there are factions within the Latino community that remain solidly Republican -- the Cuban-Americans in south Florida are a prime example. I'd be interested in knowing if law enforcement groups endorsed this new law or were they opposed to it? If they opposed it, it just further supports that this was a dumb political move for Brewer. It is stuff like this that swings law enforcement support in elections to the Democrats. If she is pandering to a narrow band of conservatives in her party, what has she accomplished? As a politician, she's shot herself in the foot twice -- once with Latino voters and maybe again with law enforcement. But it did grab her an entire national news cycle for at least a day or two. Palin, Bachmann, Brewer...a truly scary mix. Last edited by Hack; 04-24-2010 at 03:50 PM. Reason: a misspelled word |

Quote:
"The Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police has sharply criticized the legislation: The provisions of the bill remain problematic and will negatively affect the ability of law enforcement agencies across the state to fulfill their many responsibilities in a timely manner. While AACOP recognizes immigration as a significant issue in Arizona, we remain strong in our belief that it is an issue most appropriately addressed at the federal level. AACOP strongly urges the U. S. Congress to immediately initiate the necessary steps to begin the process of comprehensively addressing the immigration issue to provide solutions that are fair, logical, and equitable." And while the older community of Cuban-Americans are in fact mostly Republicans, there is a new wave of younger Cuba-Americans who have registered and voted Democrat. This was highly noticeable during the Presidential election where Obama was able to win Florida with the help of said group. I also want to keep in mind that although this sorry excuse of a Governor signed the Bill into law, it was those in the House and Senate in Arizona who wrote it and passed it. The Latino vote will not forget those facts. And John McAin't better forget any support from this community. |

When and if this gets to a federal court, we all know it will eventually, it will probably be challenged on Constitutional grounds. The profiling in of itself is against the law.
