Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Yeah, it's a "conservative" web site, but the libs seem to be ignoring it. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/02/absolut-reconquista/ _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:04 am  Flinn's Journal F L I N T O I D That's based on a pre-1848 map of Mexico. Mexico and the U.S. fought in the 1846-1848 Mexican War which Mexico lost. The southwestern USA was formerly part of Mexico. _________________ I HAVE SEVERED MY TIES WITH FLINTTALK.COM BECAUSE TROLLS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ON THIS BOARD.

They are probably the recipients of former Absolut drinkers who object to the ad in question. _________________ I HAVE SEVERED MY TIES WITH FLINTTALK.COM BECAUSE TROLLS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ON THIS BOARD.

Here is the treaty for those that are interested: http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=26&page=transcript Interesting, it would appear that the US gave amnesty as part of this Treaty already, a long, long time ago. And to make things more interesting, this treaty also stipulated that both countries should be neighborly and fight no more. And, that the US would do it's best to take back any Mexican citizens that were kidnapped by the "savages" (I hate that word.) and take them back to Mexico. By allowing Illegal Aliens into this country and not deporting them are we allowing a group of people to declare war in this country if the concept of Reconquista is true? Therefore violating this treaty? Is the President of Mexico violating this treaty by not taking any action against his own people? Wowzer. _________________ Build a bridge and get over it!

This is a cool web site. Sat Apr 05, 2008 9:16 am  andi03 F L I N T O I D Thanks for the compliment. _________________ Build a bridge and get over it!
