Home brewed racist drivel

Home brewed racist drivel

Interesting, to say the least, how great minds think alike. At the risk of unleashing attacks by the opposition, I found this nice little blog, out of Alpine Texas refuting some ridiculous editorial on Mexican Trucks.

When the trucks roll, one wonders what their cargo will be. Illegal drugs, illegal aliens, international terrorists and lots of vegetables are the obvious choices.

As Jack Bow of City Drug recently stated, “Pharmacists are the only drugs dealers who won’t make money off this deal.”

If the international terrorists make one move toward the Alamo, they are dead meat. Knowing that many Mexican fields are irrigated with raw sewage encourages me to buy California produce.

Same old crap but this time it didn’t fly. Numerous people took exception to the writer.

The guy who sent me this who blogs at MexFiles (do remember that we’re not all bad, that there’s pockets of smart, liberal people in nearly every backwards shithole in the country, and to be fair, Alpine probably has more than most), also included his complaining letter to the editor, which was not published. Which is pretty surprising, actually, because when I lived there, you could have submitted your grocery list to the editor and have it run, because they were that desperate for content. (Gossip did make its way into the letters to the editor.) So, as a favor to him for staying in West Texas and putting up the good fight, here is the entire letter:

And nice enough to reference Mexico Trucker as an expert source, which I am beginning to accept as the truth, since no one else is bothering to dig for the truth.

If the Avalanche is unable, or unwilling, to hire Spanish-speaking staffers Mexico Trucker (http://mexicotrucker.com) – which has extensive coverage of the incident — is a reputable source of information the trucking industry.

There may be legitimate reasons to keep Mexican trucks out of the United States. But, suggesting that Mexican trucks will be carrying “illegal drugs, illegal aliens, international terrorists…” is not one of them. If Covington is suggesting that drugs or aliens are regular cargo, then his criticism should be of the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement divisions of Homeland Security, not the truckers. If he is suggesting “international terrorists” are coming from Mexico, a quick check with Homeland Security will reveal that the only “terrorist” to have crossed the Texas Mexican border was a Minnesotan detained in Brownsville in 2004 with the intent of joining a Somali jihadist group
