Hilarious and right on.

hevusa -

It is absolutely untrue that we "stole their land". The US government not only won that land in battle - the same way so many other lands have been won and are retained - but they also PAID Mexico fifteen million dollars for it.
Even after winning it fairly and squarely.
Do you have any conception of the value of $15 million back in the 1840s or whenever that war ended (I know it was sometime around then).

Why don't you - just for once - experiment with the notion of NOT demonizing America.
You say "won in battle" I say "stole". They were there first.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
