Glenn Reynolds: “I THINK THE OXNARD SCHOOL AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE FIRED FOR THEIR RACIST ASSUMPTION THAT HISPANICS AREN’T AMERICANS. Shameful.”

I got you all beat since I live on the Res.
We can all start to talk in cryptic proverbs now.
How.
Every time they play that card it shows more about their own hidden assumptions than it says about those they are accusing.
Another example.
LaPierre’s op-ed: Stand and Fight, which drew the attention of the loathsome leftists, including in that category Joe “the imbecile” Scarborough.

Go on: make fun of us half-breeds – that’s all I’ve ever heard and both sides were against me since the day I was born.
