    I was referring to the mythical "reconquista" that seems to fill the minds of some whackos!

    Mythical.....

    What's with *"Two by two...One house at a time"?
    and If it's mythical, why is that Joe Baca (D-43rd District) supports it and denounces the fence, and any border enforcement of any kind.....as "Racist"?

    MeCha and La Raza aren't square dance social clubs...check out their agendas.....


    * A mantra in reference to Reconquista as a "conquest of attrition"... hence the "one house at a time......" During the early 90's from La Raza and MeCha...

    In fact, they used to have an ISP called twobytwo.net that was directed mainly to Hispanics as an alternative ISP to AOL or Earthlink back then. Most of it was in Spanish as well.

    It is no longer in use or it goes by another domain name.

    I first heard about "Two by two.....One house at a time" from a "Groundsman" who worked for the Edison company. He told us about a rally he attended in East L.A., and basically told us that "gringos" are on borrowed time because as he put it...."Our people are going to take back what was stolen from their ancestors....either you can leave peacefully now...or leave in a box later.....your choice."

    Care to elaborate?

    WCP, I would put BS like what you describe in the same camp as the birthers, the Aryans, and other left and right wing whackos that take things to the extreme.

    For instance, the radicals that claim Aztlan, as the southwestern part of the US, number less than 100, according to a report I saw recently.

    How is that a good idea? I guess I'm just a dumb old flatbedder but to pull a load of shingle without strapping and tarping is asking for a chance to kill some innocent bystander. Loads move...they move a lot when you have to do ANY defensive driving, they move when pavement gets rough, when the wind blows too hard and hundreds of other reasons. Those weren't the good old days, just stupid luck days. I'd rather throw extra chains and lots more straps rather than worry or even wonder if a piece of my freight was going to move, come loose, or even worse fall off.
    Case in point...About 3 years ago I had a load of steel plate going from Gary, IN to Greenbay, WI. I was heading North(west) on the Dan-Ryan thru Chicago about 2 am. It had stopped raining about 10 minutes earlier and traffic was light and rolling about 50. I'm in the right lane when a woman in a Cady decides to cut across my cab to make an exit ramp. She came from 3 lanes left of me and the only reason I didn't roll over the top of her was because I cut hard right and she just touched the corner of my left front bumper end. Problem was I could feel the trailer jack knifing and I saw it was just starting to roll over. I tried to cutback left to straiten out but it was too late as the cab had stared to roll over too. LONG story short the 49,800lb load of flat steel never moved at all. One of the rear chains snapped or wore threw while the trailer skidded on its side but even after the wrecker got the truck and trailer back up with the dirty side down nothing had moved or come off. She got a DUI, I had a couple of bruises, and after a state trooper and I examined the cab, trailer and load I was rolling 3 hours later. Even delivered on time and legal! So much for no straps or chains or just enough to get by with. NOOOOO thank u...I'll take the extra time for securing it right every time.

    Never said it was smart, it was just something all of us did driving for BJ McAdams flatbed division. The secret was each of the packs of shingles had a little glue on them and made a surprisingly secure load. And our little Ford L-9000 day cabs didn't go that fast with 80.000 pounds.

    Would I do it today? Not on your life!

    Fearmongering nothing more! you have extremist whack jobs on both sides of the aisles.

    Take back America? From what? We haven't lost America in 200 and something years.

    You got the White Supremcists talking their crap. How different is it from a small group of Hispanics talking crap? None at all.

    But everyone is so ###### scared of the Mexicans. It amazes me. With all the hate and discrimination shown against them by the extremists, were the Mexicans the violent "reconquistas" people think they are, you'd have a race war in the streets.

    Despite the best efforts of some of the extremist right wingers to make that happen, it hasn't and I have my doubts if it ever will.

    Mexicans, by and large are pacifists.

    I can agree with that statement....
    It is not the Mexican people who I take issue with...rather the brand of politicians now who use their Mexican "Heritage" as a tool......
    And the liberal politicians who have "White-man's guilt"......

    Then you have Dr. Juan Hernandez who has a "Border...what border?" attitude...
    In fact Dr. Hernandez pushes a believe that even if your family has been in the US for 4 generations, you are still "Mexican"..........

    This is the sheyat I take issue with my friend.....
    The average Mexican and the average American citizen are getting played by both sides....

    We wouldn't have illegals jumping the fence if Mexico would clean up its act and the liberal politicians from the US wouldn't put out the "welcome" mat...

    Illegals vote...I don't care what anyone says...They vote....

    it is illegal to ask for proof of citizenship at a polling place.....and our ballots are in Spanish....

    So who is going to notice right????
