What I find interesting is that people (whether minority or not) who are on welfare don't really see it for what it is. Yes, I know what and why welfare was designed but the reality is it is not being successful. It's created quite the opposite of 'fighting against poverty.' The reality of many of these programs, I would argue they are inflicting more harm than good. First many of them establish an 'entitlement' mentality. That others are obligated to 'he

I don't do the mango, pineapple kinds at all. I was just adding to Doc's post about veggies. Tomato and peppers are fruits eh maybe lime or lemon juice all fruits. :) Those imo are the fruits acceptable to salsa. Can we keep the mango, peach, pineapple salsas out of it? That's not salsa just a spicy fruit cocktail. lol La Victoria is a good commercial salsa. Just wish they sold it in larger quantities. The lil 14oz bottles means I'd have to bu

[quote]The Bandit is on Circle just between Platte and Bijou...on the west side of the road. The 3 Margaritas on Academy just north of Airport has some pretty fine chicken and rice dishes, as well.[/quote] Sweet that's not far from where they live. (platte and constitution area). 3 Margaritas isn't bad but I haven't had their chicken. I'll have to insist that we try the banditos next time. :)
[quote]But the Bandit is my favorite in the Springs.[/quote] Where is the Bean Banditt in the Springs? My mom and brother live there so we visit often. Might have to check that out and compare notes. lol
A gal here at work is from Mexico. I asked her if SHE knew what Cinco De Mayo was about. She didn't know and noted that they don't celebrate it in Mexico. Much pomp and circumstance for something most don't even know anything about.
[quote]Does your version include Hominy? It is hard to find Menudo around here that does, but it is a stable where my in-laws live.[/quote] no hominy in the Menudo? No Bueno. :) no Menudo, no como. I've tried the salsa idea but there is a restaurant in Santa Fe that has all kinds of salsas. They had this jicama salsa that was tasteless by itself but on tuna tacos it was out of this world! The same with their chipotle salsa. Not the best by itse
BFD, totally understand where you are coming from. I grew up in a small Mexican dominated town SE of Pee-eblo (haha). My family had a farm where we hired migrant workers. Each year we usually let a couple of guys rent out a section of an old School house that was suitable for living. Over the summer we'd establish quite a relationship with them and they taught us what REAL Mexican food tastes like. It's funny my wife who is from Kyrgyzstan understands mor
How is it that people are arguing that this bill may violate the 4th amendment? Seems to me they have more of an issue with the law enforcement then they actually do with the bill? Go Spurs. :)
[quote]Especially if they are swimming into the US illegally.[/quote] Heck no! If they swam from Italy to the US, sign them up for the Olympics because that would be some serious endurance skills!
I'm astounded at the number of people who are screaming racism when they haven't even seen the bill. Then they turn on the cops suggesting that they are all crooked all the while failing to connect that they are two completely separate issues. *sigh*
Obama doesn't even know what the bill says.
There have been several politicians from multiple states (outside of AZ) calling for a boycott of all businesses and products from Arizona. Isn't this against the state commerce laws? Oh there I go with that constitution thingy again?
[quote]I have to agree with that statement. The whole thing could have been cut off at the pass if Obama had produced it at the beginning, but now that the conspiracy is out there, nothing is going to convince some. [/quote] This is what McCain had done and it shuuuushed his critics in a heart beat.

I 'heard' that Hu Jintao came a few days before this summit to review our Health Care plan. Why would he care? Well, since we know it's gonna run up our debt maybe Obama is trying to sell the debt to him? A little bow to smooth things over?
Bakiyev became what he supposedly was against back in 2005 when he came to power.
[quote]The Central Asia republics have not been especially hostile to Russia, and I think for the time being, they are content with that. If they started getting hostile, perhaps a revolution or 2 would straighten things out, but the last thing they want is another Chechnya.[/quote] Exactly. In fact Bakiyev was favorable of Russian influence just Russia didn't like that he was favorable of US influence as well. This past year he played Russia brilliantly and that may have
There is credibility to the author here. The current elected President Bakiyev has something strikingly in common with the Interim Gov't. Roza Otunbayeva. She led and orchestrated the Tulip Revolution of 2005 and is leading the over throw of Bakiyev's administration now. Roza has worked VERY closely with the Russians all the way back to when the USSR was still in existence. I have only heard 'rumors' that Russia was prepared with the paratroopers but from
Interesting read given the subject. LINK
[quote]Well I watched him back when Bush was president...his theories then were a little more conspiracy, a little less Democrats.[/quote] Exactly Tova, he finds these conspiracy theories through the likes of Alex Jones ( a master conspiracy theorist... to listen go to infowars.com). His comments regarding the Federal Reserve and the 'tri-lateral commission etc ALL come from Alex Jones (this is my allegedly). The reason why I say it this way is because I just happened to b
I don't like Glen Beck. I find him entertaining from time to time and has a conservative message. I just don't like how he won't give credit to people like Mark Levin where he borrows material from and either gives credit some where else or takes credit himself. There are even times where he practically QUOTES Mark (just changes a word or two) but won't give credit for what he said or the ideas. He's even done this with Alex Jones as well. I also don't care for how he
I've got an idea. How about the peeps of USA work towards Gov't reform. 1.) Fire em all and start over. If you were in office you cannot re run. 2.) Term limits 3.) Congress cannot be expempt from the laws that they wish to impose upon the populace (ie health care, taxes,etc)
