The kids these days are almost incomprehensible with their 50 likes a minute. I am no grammar nazi, but encouraging this stupidity is not a good a way to go.

In the manner of that gentleman in Nevada who raises cattle for a living, my family has also abided on this land for generations.

The federal government also forced me to leave the land, which in opposition to the aforementioned Nevada gentleman, I actually owned.

I believe my claim to authentic American-ness rivals and may even surpass that of the Nevada gentleman. As such, I would welcome the arrival of justice-seeking freedom fighters to similarly assist me in securing my rights.

Because I have been waiting for more than 200 years to this time.


You're welcome.

Although I can't say it packs quite the same punch, but perhaps it's just a matter of personal taste.

Their little pea brains actually believe history went something like this: White man discovers gold in California. White man earns it due to the deaths of Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie (who gave us a most excellent knife) at the Alamo. White man ran all of the Mexicans over the border making California 100% white.

So any time you see a "Mexican" it's because they snuck over the border. Get them to mow your lawn and toss em back because THEY DON'T BELONG HERE.

Never mind that the Mexicans VOTED to make California a state on the promise that they would no longer be peasants.

He has no more right to that land than I do and I live in Ohio. I think I'll buy some cattle and move 'em out there.
