Thread: Funding La Izquierda

I am still mystified as to why “Chicano’s” even have their own park. I looked in vain for a gringo, African-American, Chinese, Vietnamese or other ethnic parks.

The U.S. government has accumulated the largest debt in the entire history of the world.

According to the website “u.s.debtclock.org” the current $15 trillion obligation exceeds an entire year's output of our nation and continues to grow at warp speed.

I would think that even hard-left elected officials like Congress members Bob Filner or Susan Davis would object to federal expenditures other than those essential for the health, safety and well being of Americans, their nominal purpose.

In thinking that, I would be wrong as I learned by a recent visit to San Diego’s “Chicano” park in Congress member Davis’s district.

I am still mystified as to why “Chicano’s” even have their own park. I looked in vain for a gringo, African-American, Chinese, Vietnamese or other ethnic parks. What possessed a prior city council to buy into such a racist, wholly un-American undertaking is a puzzle.

You can tell where Chicano Park is by the graffiti on the Caltrans highway access spans leading to and from Coronado Bay Bridge.

Throughout the rest of the state, Caltrans annually spends millions and risks the lives of their employees removing signs of gangs, political candidates, or scatological body parts.

But not in the Barrio Logan.

Caltrans apparently gave up and declared the bridge stanchions an ethnic graffiti free-fire zone thereby condemning the residents of Barrio Logan to a visual daily barrage of anti-American political propaganda from the American Hispanic hard left: La Izquierda.

But freedom to litter the bridges with graffiti is now apparently not enough.

What La Izquierda needed was one million, six hundred thousand dollars granted to them by the deficit-dollar spending U.S. government to paint a whole new, updated and refreshed version of their hard-left propaganda murals.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Mexico. And I like Mexicans.

I have traveled throughout the Estados Unidos de Mejico from the Yucatan to the Pacific. And from the U.S. border to Guatemala.

It is a big, diverse, beautiful country filled with wonderful Christian people.

They make great food, wonderful music and dances that communicate a happy optimism that counters the grinding poverty imposed by 200 years of communist and socialist governments.

Their poverty has now been augmented with a horrible murder rate that results from their equally pernicious gun-control and no-death-penalty laws.

Thus, I have no objection to celebrating things Mexican in the United States. I love Cinco de Mayo in Old Town and Los Posadas at Christmas time.

In my view, Mexico and Canada are the two nations in the world most important to the safety and well being of Americans.

Let some nut case like Hugo Chavez take over Mexico -- as nearly happened in the last election -- and we will have Hezbollah rockets launching from the foothills south of our borders.

However, what is being painted on the Coronado Bridge is not a celebration of Mexico or important Mexican-Americans.

The murals being added or refreshed are primarily communist propaganda painted with money borrowed on the “full faith and credit” of the American taxpayers.

Those communist murals will be long gone by the time the money spent to paint them is paid back, if ever. In the meantime, our kids will be paying interest on the forgotten murals until the end of time.

And what murals are those?

There are portraits of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. Between the two of them, they murdered or imprisoned thousands of Hispanics. Castro offered the Russians a base in Cuba from which to launch nuclear missiles against American cities.

There is a memorial to Salvador Allende, repeatedly alleged by the left to have been the “democratically elected” president of Chile ousted by a CIA coupe supposedly to our shame. Pure “hecho para el toro.”

Allende was never elected president of Chile. In fact he was defeated for that office three times. He was ultimately appointed “presidente” by a bribed legislature. The CIA just didn’t bid enough. As soon as he was appointed, Allende imported a brigade of the Cuban army and imposed communism on Chile through a murderous nightmare.

The Chilean army finally rose up against the Cubans and Allende at the behest of their own legislature and supreme court, which had condemned Allende and his communists for violating the constitution and a reign of murderous terror.

The murals also deify Caesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, that dysfunctional union that tried to create a labor shortage by repealing the guest-worker program. Doing so deprived thousands of law-abiding Mexicans of the right to earn a living and kicked off the tidal wave of illegal immigration.

The murals also celebrate La Raza and Atzlan. Taken together, they espouse the superiority of “the bronze people” above all others in violation of every American principle while calling for a return of the western states to Mexico; who stole them from the Spaniards; who stole them from various native tribes.

One million, six hundred thousand dollars to paint anti-American, communist, racist propaganda on San Diego bridges for La Izquierda.

Bob Filner, who wants to be our mayor, Susan Davis and President Obama say that we need to raise taxes on those awful rich people balance the federal budget.

I say they need their cabeza’s examined.

OUTRAGE: Feds Spend $1.6 Million to Restore “La Raza” Murals

The funds are being provided by the Department of Transportation and is called a “federal transportation enhancement” (as if there are no unsafe bridges across America that could use the funds!)

The murals begun as Mexican nationalist graffiti in the 1970s. The graffiti was first painted on highway underpasses in an attempt to stop the construction of a California Highway Patrol office there. Activists proclaimed the area a “Chicano park” and appeasing leaders – fearing violence – “negotiated” with activists to keep the murals and cancel the police station.

The Federal money will pay to restore 18 panels. 9 have been restored so far. Funding was first approved in a Congressional earmark in 2002, but was (wisely) held up by the Bush DOT because of the frequent mention of the racist “Aztlan”. But with Obama and his La Raza sidekicks Hilda Solis and Cecilia Muñoz in power – and Latino votes to be bought – the funding is now going ahead full steam.
Here are some selections:



Above: One panel depicting the mythical “Aztlan”, carving up nearly half of America into land that Chicano activists claim was “stolen” from Mexico. Also a lovely image of naked, armed woman and some creepy ‘baby’ with severed arm holding a machete.



Above: the first of several appearances of Communist murderer Che Guevara – darling of the left – who conducted more than 500 show trials and executions in Castro’s Cuba.




Above: Yet another appearance by Guevara, along with Castro (far right), and a flag declaring “The Race…YES, Border Patrol….NO” – oddly depicting Cesar Chavez’ United Farm Workers flag above it – despite the inconvenient truth that Chavez himself was strongly opposed to illegal immigration and amnesty.

Your tax dollars at work promoting ethnic separatism and Communist icons in the good old U.S.A.
Below: A sympathetic local news anchor excitedly reports on the project, with nary a word about what the murals contain.
