They teach hate and AZTLAN. They teach that this is their land - Mexico.
That is unAmerican and if I might say so, racist. What does La Raza
stand for? The Race!

Hmmm...I keep hearing that.   I also hear it stands for "The Family".  I guess context matters.

If I as a white man was to start a group called "The Race" or something
similar like the "Aryan Nation" which I denounce right here right now, I
would be labeled a racist.

Watch this video and tell me La Raza is not a problem -

Yup, I can say he's a problem.

Tell me we are not traveling full speed towards a race war?

Um...welcome to the world.  There've been race wars ever since people noticed differences in appearance.

Instead of embracing the American dream these groups poison young minds
which will ultimately destroy lives.

Much like some other groups I could name.

This is America! I'm tired of the bellyaching and all the "poor me"
stuff. This is the land of opportunity. Don't expect a handout and don't
expect me to pay our bills. Get up off your lazy behind and make
something happen.

Wah.

I worked midnight shift as a police officer so I could attend college
during the day. It was hard but that is what it takes. You wants
something don't look to the government look to your God and your Savior
and get out and pay the price.

Good for you.  Except for the God part.  I'm more of a belief-in-self kinda guy.

This is America! If you do not like it here get out. You are dead weight
and you are holding those of us of who what REAL change, back. Beleive
me you have not experienced anything like a red blooded American that
feels he is being wronged. We will right what is wrong with this country
and that includes those who have come here illegally. I do not stand
alone. The surveys say 50 - 70% of America is behind Arizona. There is a
battle line being drawn. What side will you be on?

Actually, those of us who wanted change are mostly getting it.  We voted this guy into office...by 
a HUGE majority.  A mandate, if you will.  Also, A very large portion of the country liked slavery
and the thought of black people as less than a white person.  Didn't make it right. 
OR Constitutional.

If you are on the side of La Raza you will loose. This is America. If
you fly the Mexican flag expect trouble.

I'm against any group whose stated core principals include racism, elitism, exclusionism, hate,
intolerance, or the promotion of Windows based solutions (hows *that* for an On-topic attempt?).

I'm also smart enough to realize that a few bad apples does *not* make the group. If I wasn't, I'd
have to oppose most forms of religion (Church of the Subgenius excluded), the "Teabaggers", most Conservative
groups, some "liberal" groups, and, of course, anything put out by SCO.

As a Christian man I believe I am to live in peace with you as much as
you will allow.

My Bible says in Romans 12: 8 "If it is possible, as far as it depends
on you, live at peace with everyone.". That says it is up to you. I want
peace and revival in this land. If you however want trouble that is on
your head, and that is what you will get.

Blah, blah, blah.  I don't recall Jesus (the deity, not the common spanish name) ever saying anything even 
*close* to that.  It sounds like your intolerant religion is itching for a fight.

Why? Serious inquiry. From my brief reading, they don't do anything many
other political groups do.
