"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
My guess is that most Hispanics know about the guy who gives you a check "sin fondos" or one that bounces.
Yes, Hispanics have experience with the charlatan who gives you a check with a smile and then can't get a straight answer about anything.
Yes, Pres BO wrote Hispanics a big check in 2008. It was full of promises and "coqueteo". It was exactly the kind of message that seduced a lot of Hispanics who wanted to believe in "hope and change".
Sadly, too many Hispanics got caught up in the "personality cult" that symbolized the Obama campaign of 2008,
Four years later, "hope and change" is:
1) 11% unemployment in Hispanic communities;
2) public schools that work for the teachers unions in bed with the Dems rather than the parents;
3) 100,000 troops in Afghanistan without a clear mission;
4) indifference toward Latin America...we remind you that BO opposed every free trade agreement, from NAFTA to the Colombian FTA.....he opposed them although he finally implemented them when the GOP took over the House in 2010;
5) a foreign policy that sends mixed signals to Israel; and,
6) "a cover up" about what just happened in Libya.
Hispanics have a chance to send a message in 2012.
Will Hispanics be in the pockets of the Dems party and taken for granted?
Will Hispanics bang on the table and expect results rather than "coqueteo" or "Cinco de Mayo" speeches?
Dear Hispanics: Take your vote seriously. Don't take another check from Obama because it will bounce like the first one!

Being an immigrant, chances are you have children. The only reason the US population is growing is because immigrants are having more children than the natives. What this means is you have "skin in the game" an English phrase that means you are personally invested in this country. So if you don't want to study economics, you don't want to be educated and you are so naive you can't see a problem with a politician that promises "free everything" fine. Your children will suffer your ignorance. I'm lucky in this regard because I have no children. Matter of fact I watch with a macabre fascination with the demise and collapse of the United States. I'll be dead leaving no loved ones behind, I don't care. However, you have much more at stake in the future of this country because you have children.
So the choice is really up to you and all other immigrants in the United States. You can keep going down the road you have before. You can keep voting in politicians that promise you everything and in doing so will simply repeat the economic collapses of the countries you came from. You can remain ignorant about history and economics of not just the United States, but your home country. And you can be lazy about studying the finances of a country you are in charge of (because this is a democracy). Just be prepared to have yourself or your children pay for the consequences.
I will, again, be watching the Titanic sink with everybody on it in macabre fascination."
