I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and, if I had $5 for every liberal idiot who looks at me and says “You don’t look Puerto Rican”, etc., because I don’t fit the Liberal template of what a Lateeeno/Lateeena should be like, this blog wouldn’t need to carry ads.
Frankly, by now I expect to consistently encounter discrimination and bigotry from Liberals. It’s in their mindset – identity politics is their lifeblood. […]
Halperin was likely expecting Desi Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo singing Texas Pete,
Or perhaps Halperin was disappointed Ted didn’t invite him over for cortadito and pastelitos de guayaba. Halperin capped it all off by asking Cruz to “say something in Spanish.”
Cruz is much too polite, but I’m not. Here’s something in Spanish, Halperin,
Bésame el culo.
We can assume that in the edited moments Cruz didn’t invite Halperin to ask his question in Hebrew. As Fausta says, too polite.
Greetings:
Geez, Carmensita never invited me over for anything more than rice and pinto beans. And her papi, well he wouldn’t even look at me.
I thought the MSM was going to go with the born in Canada thing. Should have asked aboot back bacon.

(You don’t look P.R.)
One of my deaf friends who is P.R. and joined the deaf actors group showed me his portfolio. I was stunned. On each page is an entirely different person, and not caricatures of different people either, genuinely different people. I had difficulty processing that indeed this is my friend on each page. I would NOT have recognized him in any of the images. He is that flexible and pliable and malleable a set of features.
So there.
The other thing about him is irrelevant. He was always thin as a pole and now he is quite fat. That is the other shock.
Some Poles are fat too. Probably overmuch kielbasa.
Bésame el mucho culo, por some mor.
Cha-cha, bum!

Carly Fiorina Launches #DomainGate, Buys HillaryClinton.Net
Halperin was setting a trap. If Cruz said more than a word en Español, someone would have complained that he didn’t use the “correct” accent, so he’s obviously a faux Latino appropriating a culture to which he does not belong.
As if the son of Cubanos growing up around Mexicans in Texas would speak the language with the “correct” accent (however that’s defined, and since there’s more than one possible definition, you may rest assured it would be defined to make him “wrong”).
I bet there are kids who grow up there whose abuelitas back in Mexico think they talk funny.
¿Como estas, y’all?
The Monster is 100% correct and this is why Mr. Cruz should follow Andrew Breitbart’s advice and not legitimize the Leftist Narrative, even on the seemingly small things.
I think “bite me” or “screw you” would be appropriate responses to a question like this. I’m sure there is a more diplomatic way to put it.

Regulation Run Amok—And How to Fight Back
Too many government regulations today are pointless and prevent us from doing our jobs as well as we could, writes Charles Murray. His modest proposal: Ignore them.
Too many government regulations today are pointless and prevent us from doing our jobs as well as we could, writes Charles Murray. His modest proposal: Ignore them.
Why not? The President does.
It’s an interesting idea that Mr. Murray has and worth vetting.
Of course, it’s not a fresh idea, as the owner of this joint could tell people.
The key, however, is to Resist, Resist, Resist in what ever way is effective, to say ‘No!…No more!…We will not accept your Despotism!’
Resist and Agitate – in small ways and big, and Just Say ‘So?’

I’m eagerly awaiting his approaching Ben Carson, asking about watermelon and fried chicken and whether the good doctor prefers rap or hip-hop, followed by asking him to “chat wid da Homies in Ebonics”. Or, if he wants to make the bias utterly clear, how about interviewing Liz Warren whether she prefers her buffalo-cooked-over-open-fire raw or well-done, and why she doesn’t make her own deerskin dresses for those big tribal powwows, where she can ask for their votes in Windtalker lingo….
A true authentic Cuban would have called the reporter Yankee Gusano trash, and played golf on the beach with Sean Penn to talk about world peace, socialized medicine, and a pulled pork recipe.
Well, maybe that, or maybe just ignore Halperin and do another few push-ups on the floor of his jail cell while musing on the question whether he’ll be receiving any mail from home this month.
Rush was speaking about how [to go all Firesign Theater] “Everything You Know is Wrong” and spoke of the Zimmerman case, then the radio cut away for news and it was reported…
“George Zimmerman was involved in a shooting today.”
Then they go on to say that someone pulled up next to his car and shot at him.
Next up, breaking news, President Reagan involved in an assassination attempt.
Today I heard Lester Holt is African-American. I think Halperin needs to do some vetting because I have never seen Holt doing anything “black”.
Heh “involved”.
I thought, hey, that’s a good joke a clever headline writer just made up. Then I looked in on the FNC website, where the joke is taken a step further with the lead headline “In trouble again“, followed by the admission subheadline that it was Zimmerman who was targeted.
There but for the grace go we, I guess is the headline writer’s point, if we’re to be charitable about it. If we’re not to be charitable about it, the headline writer wants a good asskicking.

Mark Halperin is a serious and fair-minded journalist. Today he kindly issued an apology for some silly questions he asked me in an interview. The apology was unnecessary — no offense was taken, nor, I believe, intended — but is certainly appreciated.
I’m proud of my Cuban heritage, my father’s journey from oppression and prison in Cuba to freedom in America, and also my Irish-Italian heritage on my mother’s side. Both are integral parts of who I am today.
The 2016 Republican field is shaping up to be the most diverse in history, and I look forward to a robust and substantive conversation about how we work together to turn around our current stagnation and expand opportunity for everyone to achieve the American Dream.<

Would they have asked Reagan to do something Irish like get drunk and beat the snot out of them?
I would have paid to watch that, BGB.
do something Irish
A malicious-clever-foolish interviewer would beseech a few lines from An Béal Bocht , or better yet, the inspiration of it, An t-Oileánach , to which the great man would have demurred, but perhaps condescended to recall a piece of the last line in English: “. . . I have done my best to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again.”
Irish? Prove it! Cure a brisket and get your wife pregnant! Then drink six beers and get into a weird argument about Anselm.
“Cabrone. Pronounced: Ka bron.”
Well I was going more for red-castro sounding rhetoric being part of the authenticity requirement. Goat is just spanish in general.
GoddamnIrish – that’s one word, ya know.
I heard an awesome line the other day, I wish I could remember where for attribute but sadly I can’t. Anyway, it needs be the go to any time you hear “African-American”, and goes like this: Shee-it! Charlize Theron is more African American than [insert racialist asshats name here].
I love that! Brings a smile to my cynical eyes, it does.
At this point, I’m genuinely surprised the media hasn’t just taken off the mask and started writing “George Zimmerman Still At Large” headlines.
Que lastima, Mark Halperin. Que lastima.
I apologize to those that were offended? Lame indeed.
I think what they did do was to keep asking him about Bedtime for Bonzo.
Charlize TheronMrs. Heinz-Kerry is more African American than……………Barbra Streisand?

Wait, someone expected intelligence and maturity from that manifestly selfish cretin? Surely not.
Cruz apparently expects them to be friends back, unlike any other time in the last 40-50 years.
In the short run “Goode Family,” the Goodes had adopted a African kid only to find out he was white. The still named Mbutu. Their dog was named Che.
I do have two friends and the husband who is from Zimbabwe who is now a naturalized American. He is very Scotch-Irish. I do not know if that makes him African-American but, the kids should be. She is was born in Mexico with a Mexican father and American mother. The kids have got it made getting into college.
Thinking about out friend born in Mexico, actually we have two and both are in the Charlie Sheen level of looking “Mexican”. In fact, wife and I were both thinking that all our “Latino” friends are “Funny you don’t look. . .”.
We must be racist, oh wait. it applies to us as well. Wife was adopted but, birth parents mostly native American with some Mexican and my absentee father was also a Latino.
I am starting to think this whole race thing is kind of a scam. Having grandparents who spoke Spanish making you an oppressed minority is really just made up isn’t it?
bgbear: “I thought the MSM was going to go with the born in Canada thing.”
Oh, don’t worry, they will. If Cruz is the GOP nominee, then about 2 or 3 days before the election all the big media outfits will suddenly “discover” he was born in Calgary, “causing some to raise questions about his eligibility…”. That will be the first time the low-info crowd finds out.
And yeah, he isn’t eligible. If you’re born in Canada, you’re Canadian, no matter where your parents are from. I was born in the same province as Cruz, and my mom is German. I’m as eligible to run for President of Germany as Cruz is to run for President of the USA.
Elon Musk is more African-American than…
IDK, I think the “natural born” laws are a little more liberal than that since before Cruz was born.
Obama was born before that loosening , however, I never cared much if he was born in Kenya. I think having a mother who had not denounced her citizenship was good enough, at least that is how much of the law reads today (no expert just going by experience with friends who were born in England and Mexico of American parent[s] and other ancedotes).
The leaves of maple are upon you,
All the live long ehhhh…
Actually, Cruz is eligible, for the same reason John McCain is. Is what I heard anyway.
After Obama, actual citizenship seems a moot point anyway. I mean, at least Cruz LIKES the USA…
>I mean, at least Cruz LIKES the USA…<
all those folks born on usa military establishments overseas are not "natural" born but the wetback is? effin' stupid
