Want to read some bullshit?
La Raza: "If the American people found out..."
Doug Ross Journal ^ | June 27, 2009 | Doug Ross

Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 7:43:45 PM by Main Street

"Suzanne", a female caller to Mark Levin's show on June 25th, revealed the ominous secret of the Democrat health care reform effort.

"I want to tell you that last week I attended a conference on health care reform sponsored by La Raza. And I will tell you that what they had to say, Mark, is scarier than anything that's been said so far on the health care plan.

The kind of comments that were made and the notes that I took... they started the conference out by saying "America does not need health care reform, but Latino immigrants need health care reform."

And someone from Menendez' office promised that he would make sure that "the useless barriers of citizenship would not be in this bill" and that he would make sure that they would use keywords like "streamline"...

It was La Raza, the Childrens Defense Fund and Senator Menendez from New Jersey, a representative from his office...

...Yes , these are my notes, Mark. They actually got up and said "Latino children need health care more than whites". And then they would say things like "you must go out into your communities, use words like 'streamline', use phrases like 'all workers' and 'all families'," because they said -- and I quote -- "If the American people find out that this bill is about giving health care to non-citizens, they will rise up against it."

...One of the quotes they said was, "We want to make sure we take care of barriers like verification, but we can streamline programs to the more affluent" and, quote, "Useless treatments for the elderly can be gone because we don't need to spend money for people who are going to die anyway."

That's a direct quote from that meeting. They also said, "We are very concerned there will be an effort to include" the illegal immigrants in this argument, so "we must make sure that we focus this" to the American people that it's looking like we want "health care for everyone".

And they also said that 75% of the children who will be picked up in this will be non-citizens and that 44% of the uninsured are non-citizens and they can't possibly allow the American people to know this."

Menendez' office said that he's going to make sure that "a family of four that makes $66,000 a year or less will pay nothing at all for the new health care. And he was the one who said he was going to get rid of specifics like "citizenship status" and focus on, quote, "equity for all workers".

And he said he's going to make sure that the Latino immigrants are the focus of the health care reform.

And La Raza said if they get this, they don't even care about amnesty, because they've fixed it so that one family member can apply for all extended family members. And... Mark, if you think we have a problem with illegal immigration now, wait 'til you see the borders when this thing gets passed."

"If the American people found out?"

Gee, what a surprise. A group that preaches racial superiority and divisiveness wants to enact a stealth illegal immigration bill -- not dissimilar to chain migration. The bill will reward illegal immigration to the direct detriment of all American taxpayers and especially the elderly.

Kind of puts Judge Sotomayor's membership in La Raza in a new light, doesn't it?

Groups like La Raza encourage the Balkanization of America. They promote mutually hostile political groups that do not form a "melting pot", that do not utilize a common language, and that do not share the principles of America's founding.

Fifty years from now, if La Raza gets its way, America will look more like Yugoslavia in 1993 than America.

How many things can you find wrong with this? I mean, c'mon! First of all, the new enemy for the right La Raza!@!! Then it's an anonymous caller into Mark Levin's show swearing they were at a conference and came out with the most outrageous 'quotes'.

Sheesh. I'm surprised they didn't claim La Raza was throwing babies out of incubators.

2. Re "Want to Read some BS - La Raza
Fuzz - I strongly advise you to read some of the La Raza talking points - and join in on some of their calls.
This is more accurate than you may realize. I get robo-dial calls out here in Texas promoting this crap all the time, in Spanish.

There are indeed some rather hostile - ANTI-AMERICAN sub-groups within La Raza - you may be shocked to read some of the diatribe from their groups on some college campuses.
And yes - indeed they ARE pushing for illegal immigrants to get their "FAIR SHARE" of health care. An important statistic to remember - more than 45% of these "uninsured children" we keep hearing about are immigrant children of illegals - and 25% are anchor babies of illegals.

Look - this should not be a Right wing versus Left Wing - DAMN already - we cannot afford to treat the world.
I have family in the UK who ran an AIDS program which was overrun by illegal immigrants - it dried up the funds.
THIS is reality, man - I wish like hell Americans would stop forming their opinions based on which talking head agrees or disagrees -
if Rush says it, liberals have to disagree - if Maher says it, Republicans must disagree. THIS is IT - the last chance to wake the hell up and take notice.
The cap and trade crap - the health care "reform" - this is going to hurt us - ALL OF US - well most of us, the politicians will continue rise, I'm sure, until it is too late.

5. You've convinced me.
No seriously. I was just sitting here, thinking how nice it would be if, God forbid, one of my girls came down with cancer, they wouldn't just be sent home to die because their full-time jobs don't offer health insurance - but you've convinced me. I shouldn't be upset if they get cancer and die because it might be inconvenient to you if they have access to health care. I have seen the light shining from Rush Limpballs ass. Thank you.

11. Maybe someone will drop them a note...
...telling them that a great many of us refer to ourselves collectively as La Raza, and have been for a looooong time, whether or not there's some organization calling itself that.
