An idea to that’ll really put Fremont on the map.
An idea that came to me this very minute thanks to you my man.

Why we host is our great town a good ole American GUN SHOW!!

We could hold it in the old GM Factory.
It’s big and cavernousness make it the perfect Location.

There’d be morethan enough room for Guns, Pistols, Shotguns, Knives, more Guns, Ammunition, Military Collectibles, Toy Guns, Army-Size shooting range, Mountain Man rondezvous tent, PaintBall Zone, Gun Accessories and Conversion Kits, more Guns, and more Ammunition!!

We could even have a civil war re-enactment outside using the Union Pacific railroad tracks-we’ll get the Antique train people to bring in an old engine that could be carrying supplies or something.

How’s that sound?? I know, It’s Great!! The city will make
A FORTUNE!!

So, What are WE waiting for?!!??

Well then, what are we waiting for!??!!

Also at the meeting was a business man who explained that the burdensome taxes and regulations on top of the healthcare bill will prevent him from growing and hiring and a woman who said that she can’t find a job and will run out of unemployment insurance. Duh!

1. That most of us don’t like ground beef so it wouldn’t make any difference to us nor would we hold it against the waiter who tried to serve us a plate of crap in its place.
Marty, seriously, the assumption wasn’t on your,or anybody else’s, personal preference for ground beef, it was about what had been ordered. How about if I say,
at least I can tell when I’m served two bowls of diarrhea even if the maitre’d assures me one is Split Pea Soup.

2. Thank you for finally admitting to us that all the minutemen really want from Pete Stark is “lip-service once in a while”.
Finally someone on that side says what most of us have concluded for some time. The only logical explanation for the temporary blindness that makes some people unable to see in any Republican, the exact same faults they saw clearly in a Democrat.

3. You are also saying that we shouldn’t be allowed to bring up that, the minutemen, teabaggers and the rest of thier ilk, ARE arriving late in the game.? You say it’s a useless endeavor? To What?? Educate them. Find some common ground with them. Get them to realize how annoying it is for the rest of us to listen to this Johnny-come-lately uninformed partisan invitation for another fiasco rigamorale? C’mon.

And wasn’t Janet Napolitano the governer of John McCain’s Red State of Arizona? How’d that happen?

Manifest destiny included stereotypes of all Native Americans as “merciless Indian savages”. as described in the Declaration of Independence. The first two years of the California gold rush saw the deaths of thousands of Native Americans who were subjected to de facto enslavement under a system of peonage. California entered the Union in 1850 as a free state with respect to slavery, but the practice of Indian indentured servitude wasn’t outlawed by the California Legislature until 1863.

Also out here in the west, Asians and other immigrants faced hate-based discrimination. Non-whites were prohibited from testifying against whites, a prohibition that included the Chinese. The San Francisco Vigilance Movement, ostensibly a response to crime and corruption, systematically victimized first Irish immigrants and later transformed into mob violence against Chinese immigrants.

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, hundreds of thousands of Jews escaped the pogroms of Russia and Eastern Europe, arriving primarily at Ellis Island. As soon as they left the boat, they were subjected to racism from the port authorities. The derogatory term ‘kike’ was adopted in reference to Jews because they often could not write so they signed their immigration papers with circles – or kikel in Yiddish.

I trust that I don’t have to delve into the history of discrimination against African-Americans in the United States.

In his first inaugural address in 1885, President Cleveland stated, “The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor, with no intention of acquiring citizenship, and bringing with them and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization.” In a recent survey of presidential rankings, Cleveland didn’t even make the list:

Has it occurred to anyone lately that we are living on land that was once the residence of the progenitors of today’s “illegals”?

As is usually the case when times get tough, it is in the interests of those who seek to gain power and to retain power to set various segments of the population against eachother – it keeps them distracted from what’s going on at the top. Karl Rove only thinks he invented class warfare – it’s actually a very old tactic.

We should know by now that we are not the enemies of immigrants – unless we are 100% Native American, we ARE immigrants, and we should have learned that mark our moral progress largely by how we treat those who come to this country. Is the proof of our worth as human beings.
