San Francisco and other city governments have jumped on the bandwagon of formally “boycotting” business with Arizona in response to that border state’s new law to assist the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Boycotts are an honorable way to influence governments or citizens. When the Nazis came to power, millions of Americans boycotted German imports. Blacks in Mississippi boycotted the Montgomery Bus System for its discriminatory practices toward blacks five decades ago. American patriots boycotted British goods prior to the Revolutionary War. Conservatives prior to our toppling Saddam Hussein called for boycotts of French goods.
Boycotts have been used against conservatives like Dr. Laura and against leftists like Rosie O’Donnell. In a world in which we have enough “stuff,” there is a compelling case to be made that all of us should use our votes in the marketplace to support values we treasure instead of just getting the best economic bargain. Many of us do that. I have not watched new television programming for decades. Millions of us boycott Hollywood.
The term “boycott” derives from a British officer, Captain Charles Boycott, who zealously enforced the legal but draconian rights of British landlords against Irish tenants in 1880. The Irish people voluntarily decided to have absolutely nothing to do with Captain Boycott. They neither offered nor threatened violence. They acted as a group, but as a group of private individuals. Within a fairly short period of time, the captain and his family left Ireland and returned to England.
It’s time to kick all the illegal Mexicans out of America. Regardless of how much the left cries about it. These assholes are in America illegally and want free shit.
This is an example of the police overstepping their bounds. These asshole are breaking into a man’s home, then shooting his dogs, and for what you might ask?
Marijuana. Just enough to get a misdemeanor charge at best.
I am afraid, if the police came to my house by mistake, then in all likelihood, there would be at least one dead cop, probably more, and my ass would be dead too.Someone tries breaking into my house in the middle of the night, I get up with my pistol in hand racked and stacked, booger hook on the bang switch.
Because they don’t get their fucking intel right, a family is terrorized by these assholes and their pets are shot.
This is America, not Mexico. The fifth of May is just an excuse to drink morons. Everyone beat the French! Morons.
The shit heads that whined about this being a Mexican holiday; go back to that hell hole called Mexico if it’s that important to you. Otherwise shut the hell up.
You are in AMERICA assholes!
I created this graphic. If you want to use it, please feel free to do so, but give me a shout out on your site.
On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.
Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal’s office.
“They said we could wear it on any other day,” Daniel Galli said, “but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it’s supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today.”
The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts “incendiary” that would lead to fights on campus.
Here’s a spoof on the GM lie, this one is actually more like the truth.
I won’t buy another GM brand vehicle as long as the government is involved in any way, shape, or form. I used to be a GM guy. Now I’m not. In fact, I think my next truck will be a Ford. That’s the free market for ya.
Well, if he can call us tea baggers, we can call him that too, right? Nice dialogue, Mistuh President.
Tea bagging: the insertion of one man’s genitals into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act.
The joke of today’s Obama lie is that the tea parties came first, way before the Republicans. We came first. The Republicans came along at last — not at once. What is he trying to do? Why does he divide at every turn? What is his objective to be petty, egotistical and small? Or he is manufacturing a crisis he can take advantage of?
He is such a …………….pig. Seriously. I think back to how the left destroyed, mocked, lied about Bush during a long terrible war. Bush never called them what they really were: traitors, seditionists, aiding and abetting the enemy.
Has there ever been such a man in the White House? He insults, derides, contemptuously dismisses the American people. If only he were as scornful and tough on Iran and the jihad as he is with the American people and our allies.
This is good shit. The military has always been a leader in innovation when it comes to technology, and much of the medical field owes a lot to the military.
In the near future, wounds may be treated with a flash of light. A process called photochemical tissue bonding can replace conventional stitches, staples and glues in repairing skin wounds and even reconnecting nerves and blood vessels.
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, working with funds from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, recently completed a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of light bonding compared to traditional stitches. The study involved patients who had skin lesions removed and needed stitches.
The team just submitted the study for publication, according to Dr. Irene Kochevar, a dermatology professor at Harvard and a research fellow at Massachusetts General’s Wellman Center for Photomedicine.
