Meet Rosanna Pulido

A Hero for our time.

Rosanna Pulido contends her heritage and her gender - she's the only woman to head a state Minuteman branch - make her an effective leader for those who say illegal immigration must be thwarted, borders sealed and laws enforced.

So, too, do her ethnic roots confound immigrant activists who wonder why the granddaughter of a Mexican farmer and a Christian who once ministered to Mexico's poor would put security over solidarity.

Pulido, a 50-year-old Chicago native, shrugs off such criticism. For her, the issue is defined by right and wrong, by patriotism and faith.

On her role as a Hispanic woman within the anti-illegal immigration movement: Just like I wanted a Middle Eastern person to stand up and denounce 9/11, to say we deny radical Islam, I thought this is my chance. That's why I felt I needed to take leadership. They call everyone a racist. Well, I'm Mexican. Well, they still call me a racist.

On being labeled a racist: It's more a reflection on them, than it is me. It's the lowest common denominator. They know if they had to argue and debate the laws, they wouldn't win. It's the only bullet they have to put in their gun. ...


Within the last week we had one of the moonbat commenters claim that the Minuteman project was full of klansman and racists. Ms Pulido puts a lie to the smear of the left.

Thanks to the Mark Levin Blog

We need more people like Ms. Pulido.

On a side note, can you imagine what the liberals at the ACLU and the pro-illegal immigration union activists are saying about her?  I’m sure terms like “self hating” and “racist” are used a lot.

Not having actually met anyone from the Minutemen organization, I can’t say for sure, but I would bet that they have plenty of people of Mexican heritage.

It’s not that organizations like the Minutemen don’t have diversity, but that it doesn’t fit the media’s script.  For example, I attended the 2002 Texas Republican state convention.  There were plenty of hispanics and black delegates at the convention.  When I got home on the final day of the convention and saw the local news they interviewed two blacks and one hispanic and made a huge deal about having found a few minorities.  Now, the Texas Republican Party vice chair is black and we hear nothing about it in the news.  It just doesn’t fit their script.

Don Myers is a perfidious clown

Over the weekend, militant illegal alien activists marched onto a post office station in Maywood, Calif., and replaced the American flag with a Mexican flag while chanting anti-American epithets. Slowly but surely, the great American Southwest is being reconquered by Mexico. These lands---which many Mexicans believe are their birthright---are being detached ethnically, linguistically, and culturally from the United States by a deliberate policy of the Mexican regime. This is the “Aztlan Plot” for “La Reconquista,” the recapture of the lands lost by Mexico in the Texas War of Independence and Mexican-American War. The time of negotiation and talking has past.......it’s time to pick up arms and fight back !! ..

There are hundreds of news articles, videos and photos on it from media sources all over the country.
I bet you believe that 9/11 was orchestrated by Dick Cheny and that 6 of the terrorists that flew the planes into the towers are still alive!

MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as “Mechistas,” romanticize Mexican claims to the “lost Territories” of the Southwestern United States—a Chicano country called Aztlan. In its national constitution, MEChA calls for self-determination by its members to liberate Aztlan. MEChA’s national constitution starts out: “Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán.”

I’ll assume that you cannot disprove my evidence(should read comment) that the Minutemen are, in large part, Klan- and neo-nazi types.

The fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative is a type of logical fallacy of the following form:

“This exists because there is no proof that it does not exist.”

Non-fallacious ways to prove something include the use of logical syllogisms and/or the incorporation of empirical observations. But it is not logical to argue that something exists simply because there is no proof to the contrary; one cannot say, “No one has proven that aliens do not exist. Therefore, based on that alone, they must exist, notwithstanding that I have no evidence that they do exist”. Given (as it is above) that it was not proven that aliens do not exist, they might exist, but this alone does not prove them to exist.

Don is a total fucking idiot---but this is kinda fun! keep-em comin’ Don!

Don’s source is the Southern Poverty Law Center.
( a step below the ACLU) It was founded in 1971 as a small civil rights law firm. Today, the Center is internationally known for its tolerance education programs, its legal victories against white supremacists and its tracking of hate groups.

Located in Montgomery, Alabama – the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement – the Center was founded by Morris Dees and Joe Levin, two local lawyers who shared a commitment to racial equality. Its first president was civil rights activist Julian Bond.

Go to their site. They see racism and white supremacists conspiracies under every bed and in everybody’s closet.

Bezu Fache on August 31, 2006 at 08:35 am

Don: What Bezu posted about Mecha is true.  I have experienced it firsthand, living in Southern CA.  You are wrong, as usual.

Offer-to present for acceptance or rejection; proffer.

Generally, to “cast pearls before swine” is to share something of value with those who will not appreciate it.

Don,

Your self-styled “evidence” is crap.  Pure and simple.  The Public Eye is a Progressive leftist rag with no credibility in the real world, and your “evidence” is an article situated between a blatantly false screed about former Alabama Governor George Wallace, and one more tiresome anti- Wal-mart diatribe.  Not exactly evidentiary material, now is it?

Your second piece of “evidence” is an SPLC article that purports to show that the Minutemen are supported by some folks who were at one time affiliated with the Klan.  So?  There is a rather substantial chasm between the given example and your ridiculous argument that “most” of the Minutemen are Klan or white supremacists.  Why, that would be like suggesting that because serial liar and do-nothing Senator John Kerry is a Democrat, that MOST Democrats are serial liars who actually DO nothing.

As for Julian Bond, I have watched his execrable career for many years, since I live in the Atlanta area.  I have even met the man on two occasions.  Julian Bond is as much a hate-filled bigot and racist as Davis Dukes.  The only difference is that Bond’s racist hate is deemed acceptable by the liberal MSM simply because he’s black.

Actually, I think Minutemen is a cool thing. And you know, the KKK have actually done things like trash pickup (not a pun). Now that things are regulated, they’re under control more. Even though you all seem to label me as “liberal” I’d have to say that I agree on quite a few “conservative” issues also…

I, and my legal friends, completely detest illegal immigration because these people do not put in the work that the legal people have, and for all of the things that it causes (for being undocumented). These illegals have closed several hospitals in my area, demanding healthcare so much that the hospital loses money on them.

Can you prove that the Minuteman “are mostly” racists? Thanks. Try not to use the racist SPLC in your response please.

You’ve alligned yourself with Klansmen but I’m a “race baiter.”

Says the Democrat. (Hint: “the conscious of the Senate”, former Grand Kleagle of the KKK, Robert Byrd, is a Democrat.)

The GOP has run up massive deficits but the Democrats are “tax and spend.”

The GOP is behind the built in spending increases in the “New Deal” and “Great Society” programs? The GOP is responsible for over 60+% of our national government expenditure ("social programs"). I don’t think so.

Every day is Opposite Day with you floks, ain’t it?

This is classic projection on your part Don.

Bezu: How does this largely fictious story demonstrate...

“La Reconquista” is “largely fictious? Since when? Looks like an example of your “Opposite Day” projection.

...the Minutemen aren’t Klan?

They aren’t.

Check out Ms. Malkin and Mr. or Ms. Fache. THAT’S waht a race-baiter looks like, not me.

Someone who points out your racism is a “race-baiter”? Oh,..I forgot - you are in permanent “Opposite Day” mode.

Since all you can offer are insults and cowardly threats, I’ll assume that you cannot disprove my evidence that the Minutemen are, in large part, Klan- and neo-nazi types.

What evidence? A report from the racist SPLC organization? Are you trying to be funny?

I seem to have struck a nerve...

Your stupidity does tend to do that.

Like, for instance, a paranoid fantasy about a Mexican take-over of the US

Other than the fact that ten percent of Mexicans illegally live in America and that there were hundreds of thousands recently marching in the streets for “Reconquista”, of course.

Do you have any evidence that isn’t from an obvious white power hate site?

Care to point out the “obvious white power” Don? Back up your statement.

So do you have anything to offer besides insults and white power websites, or is that pretty much it?

Where were those “white power websites” that Bezu Fache supposedly linked to again? Back up your statement Don.

Congressman Bond and his successors at the SPLC have a lot more credibity than two people too cowardly to sign their names and one poorly-designed white power website.

Goodness, you don’t shutup. Once again Don - back up your statements and while you’re at it, you might want to lose the appeal to authority argument.

Face it, gentlemen and/or ladies---I’ve handed you your collective hats on this one.

You’ve done no such thing. You just label people racists while ignoring the true racists out there. Why would you do that?

You’re defending the Klan and its members?!?

That’s all I need to know about you.

Who the hell is doing that and where?

You’ve got major comprehension problems Don. (Here is where you call me a racist, offer no proof, and then claim superiority.)
