My point was that you implied it was hard to find the “Por la raza…” quote, when in fact it’s on every MEChA web site I looked at. I agree that it’s not their moto. It appears to be the “motto” of whatever group* originally wrote “El Plan…”.**

I’m sorry, John Mace, I had no intention of implying that the “Por la Raza…” quote was difficult to find in MEChA websites. I meant to imply that the motto (La Union Hace La Fuerza) had been difficult to find in MEChA websites. My “Sorry. I’m an idiot” post that you quoted was supposed to clear up the confusion, by identifying the source of my confusion; namely, my ineffective search strategy that included the English translation in the search string. When I removed the English translation, and searched only for “La Union Hace Fuerza,” I got a TON of hits, several of which linked to the websites of MEChA chapters.

My apologies for the ambiguity.

Suprise suprise, the 9th Circuit Court, the most liberal in all the land, stepped in. I dont think you can take this court seriously with their past BS rulings (i.e. The Pledge) and their 92% turnover rate.

Oh yeah that pledge decision was such a BS ruling. I mean, having the state lead a mantra announcing the close relationship between the country and God is such a stunning example of the seperation of church and state.

BS they may be, but court rulings they are. They have the status of law until and unless overturned. I hope you can take that seriously.

Update from Salon’s Max Blumenthal. The short answer to the OP title is Yes. I liked this part:

As was apparent in Schwarzenegger’s speech, the support of swing voters like Latinos is essential to thrust him ahead of Bustamante. His Latino-issues specialist, Juan Botero, told me that despite the central role played in the campaign by former Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican whom many Latinos loathe for his support of anti-immigrant legislation, he is counting on a huge groundswell of Latino support on Election Day. I asked Botero to sum up Schwarzenegger’s message to Latinos. “Viva Arnold,” he replied with a chuckle. After a pause, he added, “Dot-com.”
