As if tensions between certain races weren’t bad enough, Hollywood is now getting into the act, doing their part to stoke the fires of discord. Robert Rodriguez’s movie ‘Machete’ is due to open in September and three months ahead of that event ‘Machete’s’ race war implication is being felt all over.
An all out race war seems farfetched but something that horrific is not entirely out of the question with tensions so high on both sides of the immigration debate. ‘Machete’ delivered a stern message to Arizona, using the occasion of Cinco de Mayo to push hate.
The danger of ‘Machete’s’ race war inference is that in today’s society, people don’t need much prodding to act out or glean ideas from what they see on TV or the big screen. With tensions already high around the border due to Mexico’s drug war and violence and continuous infiltration over the border illegally into America, why provoke something that no one wants?
The Hollywood, leftist double standard is alive and well in the movie ‘Machete’, with the main character (aptly named ‘Machete’) taking matters into his own hands by killing white men who aim to keep America from being overrun with illegal aliens. John Nolte at Big Hollywood asks the question that liberals always fail to ask; what if the tables were turned? What if it were white men securing the border who started a race war against Hispanics? It’s doubtful that Robert Rodriguez’s movie would be as well received in Hollywood circles if that were the case.
There’s also another angle to the movie ‘Machete’ that should have you up in arms. ‘Machete’, race war movie of 2010 was also made with taxpayer dollars. The Texas Film Commission has funded, at least in part, ‘Machete.’ Race wars may seem like something you would only see in the movies, let’s hope it stays there. For the country’s sake let’s hope that the left doesn’t get their way by provoking an irreversible travesty for political gain.

Fck it, bring it !
If these idiots get out of hand a simple retraction of the millions in aid we send Mexico along with a nice big fence, pull the plug on trade while providing as many deportations as possible oughta be good start.
If that dont work we can strip anyone of their citizenship that takes up arms against America and air drop their ungrateful a$$es in the South Sonora.
Chute not included.
Any uprising or revolt would be of great diservice to the majority of Latinos. The majority of this country, between 63 and 75% support Arizonas decision. Those are not the kind of numbers you want to face in any confrontation. I suspect the first thing that would happen is an awful lot of migrant workers, legal or not would be sent packing by my various means.
They’d be about as popular as Malcom X, and we all know what happened to him, maybe they dont.
May 15th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I don’t support the arizona decision. I want to live in a country where the police aren’t scanning me as to what my citizenship is, and in that providing them probable cause to ask for my “papers please!” By doing this Arizona is empowering its overworked police to scan every living person as a potential criminal. I like good old fashioned policing, which is solving a crime after it happens, and using some sensible pro-active policies short of stings to keep the peace. Thats it.
May 15th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
no car impounds either, unless your a big time rackateer or drug lord. leave the little citizen alone as much as possible.

Chris Matthews had a guest on who described the concept of Mexicans taking back the southwest United States deviously by simply immigrating and settling here. Americans on the east coast, south, and northwest think of the southwest US as settled territory, and it has been for many decades now. But if you live in those states you will see its really in a state of demographic flux and eventurally ex-Mexicans will outnumber everbody given their current numbers and higher birth rates. I think the treaty with santa ana ceded texas and other lands pretty clearly to the US after the war. But now freelancers from mexico have simply bolted their border and its as if the Mexican government has not tried to stop them. Frankly they send a lot of money back into mexico from their US jobs. Originally, Mexico invited American settlers to set up shop in Texas, but so many came and they became so militant, they simply incorporated the land and joined the US. I can just imagine what Israel and Palestine are going through. Its as if our own southwest keeps going thru changing demographic hands, even today.

Micky is right….Tribes are gathering and the dogs of war are straining at the leash.

Brian;
“I don’t support the arizona decision. I want to live in a country where the police aren’t scanning me as to what my citizenship is, and in that providing them probable cause to ask for my “papers please!’
ENOUGH ALREADY !
Theres nothing in the bill that says or implies any such thing, which by the sound of your regurgitated crap means you havent read it.
Everyone has always had to show ID at any legal stop or approach. This is nothing new.
Also, there are no “PAPERS” to be shown so stop the fcking inflammatory N*zi references !!!!
You have show “IDENTIFICATION” and if that “IDENTIFICATION” is of another nation you “THEN” will be asked of your citizenship.
You should be ashamed of youself for propelling this insidious bullsht that serves no purpose but to anger those who are too ignorant and complacent to actually read the damn bill.
May 15th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Is this a historical movie about the land of Obama’s birth, the great state of Kenya?
May 15th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
what if you have a fake or no i.d., they will toss you in the local jail with real criminals? what you think they are going to let you walk if you have no i.d.? havent even you ever forgotten your wallet or drivers license? Micky did you know most of the people arrested at dui stops are arrested for not having a drivers license, and they are tossed in the pokey and their cars are stolen “impounded” and its about a 3 of those to every 1 official dui. the numbers are huge! so as you can see this is a real issue that affects “real” people.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Actually it might be the story of Obama’s rise to political power in Chicago.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
The immigration “crisis” is a non-issue that’s been ginned up by the right wing and the conservative controlled media to divert America’s attention from the real issues that need to be addressed, issues that might threaten the pocketbooks of the rich and powerful if they were.
There is nothing the right wing would like more than a “race war” in the US. If a state like Arizona passes the laws they have passed, and the right wing cheers, then what else do you expect but a race war? Then you turn around and say, we don’t want no “race war.” It’s Hollywood movies causing race wars! But this sort of double standard is typical for the right.
And it works, for now. The day will come, howsomeever, when it won’t work anymore. And that day may be sooner than you think.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
so say I fly to arizona and stay at a nice hotel. and I go to the pool leaving my wallet locked in the hotel safe. and after swimming I get up and try and enter the lobby fiding Arizona police standing there demanding to see everyones i.d. as they are mad at all outsiders? When I try and explain myself they say I am resisting arrest and tase me. So they cart me off to Sherriff Arapio’s tent jail in the desert heat and make us all wear pink underwear and jump suits and force me into a tent with two burglers, one murderer, three who skipped their probation, and a big time drug runner half who are AB and there is no arraignment till late monday. Why couldn’t this happen? It darn well could. There is nothing in the law that prevents this.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
‘ I get up and try and enter the lobby fiding Arizona police standing there demanding to see everyones i.d. as they are mad at all outsiders?’
Was your daddy a bad cop ? Geez.
Where you dig up this imaginary BS ?
the scenario you’re talking about is once again nothing more but an insinuation of a regime that no longer exists.
Try telling em your ID is in the dafe and they’ll more than likely let you show it to them.
What, are you running out of foil ?
Mad at all outsiders ?
Before this bill nothing ever stopped bad cops from racially profiling if they wanted to. And you seem to think this fed law written to the state gives them more ability to profile by race ?
Give it up Brian, you got nothing but speculation.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
“more than likely” says they have way too much disgression which when they are in a bad mood, or following orders, official or unofficial, they can do whatever they want to you. You have no idea, years ago I was going about 7 miles per hour over the highway limit of 65mph like everyone else and he made it 10 with out of state plates towards phoenix and got pulled over, was given a ticket on Christmas Eve and was told by this young cocky Arizona Highway patrol officer “have a Merry Christmans” right after he got me to sign his ticket pad in a sarcastic voice and then he looked at me with that “got you” look. Yes they can do whatever they want. Meanwhile I bought gas at their gas stations, ate in their dinners, stayed in their motels, and spent money in their state. I never went back after that despite a bunch of opportunities. If anything we need to retract some of the discression police have to interfere in our affairs over the mundane. not add even more opportunities to invade us. I marvel at how they, the state, the government, uses the excuse of you simply driving your car on tax payer roads gives them full license to challenge you for whatever they deem they want to and completely muck up your drive, even arrest you and impound your car fot things that have little to do with you driving really.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
If I even try to tell them they can easily ignore that and escalate it up to an resisting arrest thing. Don’t you ever watch reality tv. occasionally that is what happens, just a lack of communication, a struggle over power and dignity and control and zap you get tased to shut you down. In theory a sane police officer would want the easiest resolution possible that satisfy’s the criteria. But they have bad days too, and they also take abuse, but then when someone says anything critical at all to them it quickly can escalate to “their need” to maintain control. By haveing this new law it enforces that they expand their contacts with the public over this issue, and some are suing the state already to shut it down. Its more than the police, its the proscutors, the politicians, the whole system that then only values you if you have the right body paperwork. Thats sad indeed.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
And yet you want them there immediately when you want or need their protection. Can’t have it both ways and everybody has gotten traffic tickets. No need to whine about it.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
@Klo – its not the ‘right’ drumming up those issues. All you have to do is look around and see who is throwing r*cial slurs and accusations at the drop of a hat. Its almost entirely coming from the ‘left’ and people are just getting SICK. Of. It.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Well Beth I want them there for regular law and order focused on biblical crimes of theft, mayhem and murder. But not over lifestyle issues, or going a little too fast, or having a blinker out as an excuse to launch the latest government campaing on you. In fact police would have an easier job in my scenario, focusing on the big issues that are real crime. I would change dui’s to a diversion civil program and decriminalize the small timers, first or second offenders and not impound their cars since as little as two beers on an empty stomach can put you over. I would get the war on drugs to scale back on little amounts regarding citizens and stop various stings that go on. Police could focus on theft, violent crimes, terroists, that sort of thing and not have to endure crazy annoyed and annoying people over little things like they do now. They would have more freedom to police on the spon without haveing to make mandatory arrests. It would actally make life easier for everybody I think. That isn’t whining. You guys are too passive. I want a system that addresses problems efficently and effectively without making a whole host of new problems. Also I want to reduce our need to criminalize all our fellow citizens over things that truly are not classic biblical type crimes. What you eat shouldn’t put you in prison. You might need some other kind of help, but prison just creates a whole new set of problems for most persons the rest of their lives.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Beth the town I come from use to have only 3 police and now,not much bigger or more populated it has 9 so they keep a gauntlet of squad cars stopping people as they drive through it doing endless wants and warrant checks. In their blog they pull in so many court cost fines and basically escort them down to the station, or arrest them, and make them pay a fine like 250 or 650 dollars before letting them continue on their way. They literally control the roads and check a lot of licenses and cars. I would like to think I can drive through my own town of origin and not be radio checked as I pass through. Why in california a town is putting cameras in the entrance and exit of the towns and noting which cars don’t leave to do a check on them as well. Its getting nuts. If americans dont speak up, its only going to get worse as you ahve hundreds of thousands of these officers on the payrolls of every town and political entitiy in America.
May 15th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
‘“more than likely” says they have way too much disgression which when they are in a bad mood, or following orders, official or unofficial, they can do whatever they want to you.’
yeah, its called “judgement” Get used to it, it happens in a”judiciary”.
Besides that. In most states not carrying ID is actually an offense.
In case of emergency it enables physicians to determine while you’re unconscious if you’re allergic, phone numbers of kin etc…
“You have no idea,”
No, “YOU” have no idea, all your crap is drummed up paranoia. I’ve been arrested and locked up more times than you’ve had birthdays and know the full scope of the liberties cops take. Almost all of them (looking back) were decent men.
And yeah, Beth made a point you probably dont want to conciede to. As soon as your foil cap gets stolen, who ya gonna call ?
May 15th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
uh micky, consider BP’s little spill dilemma, that is a result of judgements made by managers to do it the way they did, problem concrete bop seals and dead battery and disconnected hydraulic cable and all, failure of the bush governmnet MMM agency to regulate the siting and review the plans with its “grand permit exemption”. Those were all judgements. they sure look like a complete meltdown of managing a tricky 1 mile deep oil well in prime fishery waters. same with police, their judgements can be clouded by their command structure, their supervisors, their sheriff’s or chiefts, or prosecutors or mayors or the Feds. By restricting their legal access to aspects of your affairs you at least have a lot of protection. Read Ron Pauls letter to Congress rearding approx. Is America becoming a Police State, in 2002, I just googled it and its really worth the trip.
May 15th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
As I said I support police performing a basic law and order role limited to policing biblical crimes, I just don’t want them sitting in my glove compartment and can opener. Do you?
May 15th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
As one with a more checkered past than most I’m not worried about it Brian.
Weve come a long way from the 60s where a guy could get jacked up just for wearing beads and having hair down to his waist. (It still is)
May 15th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
As far as your one stop light town goes… how else is some ink stain on a map supposed to make money ?
Sounds like you lived in that town “Valkenvania”

I think this movie should be banned for the simple fact that Lindsay Lohan is in this movie.
May 15th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
It needs to be banned because some idiots that see it will think it’s cool to go killing people over any perceived slight.
