This post is from a friend of mine.... Chris!The fact that I am forwarding this should show you and anyone that reads this that I "AM an American First" Ethnicity always comes second I was "Born Here".
If you wonder why I harp on that, I'm tired of the rants about Puertorican's being the butt of Mexican, Salvadoran, Cuban, and any other hispanic's rant. Puertorico is a commonwealth of the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. AND I am a citizen. I served in our armed forces and went to college on the G.I. bill .
I work for my money just like you and my opinions, and my political views are mine and mine alone. If you don't like how I feel tough, It's still a free country. And until you take my last breath from me I will watch FOX news channel and exercise my god given right to free speech (because I participated in a TEA Party) right here in NYC.
Let me be the first to affirm there were more than Conservatives at that rally. I aw Republicans, Democrats, Independents, there all protesting the economic policies of the Obama dministration. Americans tired of being taxed too much for too little in return.
Granted the economic climate is not the best... but that's what President Obama promised to fix is it not ? Maybe if he took the time to stop being the rockstar camera hungry hound he is he would find the time to deal with real "AMERICAN PROBLEMS" and we could fix this problem instead of just passing the debt for this problem on to our grand and great grand children.
There is a solution and in my god's given opinion, President Obama is clueless. That's all I have to say on the subject. GN all its 3:40 am here and I am tired just needed to clear my thoughts.

Speaking to an affectionate crowd of Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday evening, Meghan McCain ridiculed the party her father headed this past election, declaring that "old school Republicans" were "scared shitless" of the changing landscape.
The Senator's daughter, who has quickly become something of an iconic figure in the gay conservative community since the end of the election, took repeated shots at the GOP for its antiquated mores.
"I feel too many Republicans want to cling to past successes," said McCain. "There are those who think we can win the White House and Congress back by being 'more' conservative. Worse, there are those who think we can win by changing nothing at all about what our party has become. They just want to wait for the other side to be perceived as worse than us. I think we're seeing a war brewing in the Republican Party. But it is not between us and Democrats. It is not between us and liberals. It is between the future and the past."
Later, she called out those officials in the Republican tent who insist that tactical improvements, technology and brass-knuckle politicking are the path back to relevance.
"Simply embracing technology isn't going to fix our problem," she said. "Republicans using Twitter and Facebook isn't going to miraculously make people think we're cool again. Breaking free from obsolete positions and providing real solutions that don't divide our nation further will. That's why some in our party are scared. They sense the world around them is changing and they are unable to take the risk to jump free of what's keeping our party down."
The remarks, delivered at the Log Cabin Republican's national convention in Washington D.C., drew healthy applause and the occasional high-pitched whistling. McCain, at one point, declared herself a proud member of the GOP. But her pot shots at the Republican Party and its flashier figures were not thinly veiled. Describing her public tiff with Ann Coulter as non-delicate, she went on to refer to the brash conservative talker as "overly partisan and divisive." Later in the speech she insisted that "most of our nation wants our nation to succeed" - a pretty clear dig at the now-infamous remarks of talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.
As for the GOP establishment, McCain described it as a "party that was thriving at one point on a few singular issues" but could no longer "see long-term success."
"We've seen how it has contributed to some serious problems in our nation and world," McCain said, in an apparent reference to the government under GOP control. "Let me blunt, you can't assume you're electing the right leaders to handle all the problems facing our nation when you make your choice based on one issue. More and more people are finally getting that."
SEP....Megan McCain is trying to get rich...what better way? Who cares what fatty Megan says.... not me... you liberals can have the worthless piece of trash.!
Diana I know I already thanked you for allowing me to post on your blog, but I would like to thank you again here. Thanx again Diana your'e the best.
OBAMA SHAKES HANDS WITH CHAVEZ IN VENEZUELA WHILE BUSH GETS DRUNK WITH REVERAND MOON AND SEVERAL YOUNG MOONIE WOMEN ON BUSH'S and Rev. MOON'S NEIGHBORING RANCHES IN PARAGUAY
OBAMA said Venezuela has a defense budget about one-six hundredth the size of the United States', and owns Citgo, the oil company. "It's hard to believe we are endangering the strategic interests of the United States" by talking with Chavez, Obama said.
The trip was Obama's first presidential journey to the region, and he said the meeting of heads of state had the potential to create greater progress on economic progress, climate control and immigration.
As he did on a recent trip to Europe, Obama stressed in Latin America that the United States is a willing partner, "inclined to listen and not just talk," in trying to advance national interests.
"We recognize that other countries have good ideas, too, and we want to hear them," he said, adding that the fact that an idea comes "from a small country, like Costa Rica," should not diminish its potential benefit.
Besides the discussion about Cuba, which was not invited to the summit, his trip was dominated by images of his handshakes with Chavez, the leftist president of Venezuela who once likened former President George W. Bush to the devil. Chavez approached Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the summit and said he was restoring his nation's ambassador in Washington, voicing hopes for a new era in relations.
Bush's MO of not talking to our "enemies" led to a period of great isolation and limited cooperation with our own allies. It was an ineffectual policy that made no sense on its face- as if Bush expected that by not engaging, things would improve on their own. Refering to nations as being in the "axis of evil" (David Frum's words) was a poor substitute for constructive engagement and diplomacy. Our nation loses nothing by talking and yet has everything to gain by showing respect to our hemispheric neighbors. Bush's cowboy diplomacy was bullshit. The right better get used to the idea that we have a real president now.
Mira idiota- Republicans despise P.R.'s. You should see what they say behind your back.
