- Raoul how dare you question Fernando Suarez – you are a vendido.
- By Dorinda Moreno
Raoul, estufas, ese!
This essay is so laden with denigrating, disrespectful-- talking down not
only to Fernando Suarez del solar, but to all thinking parents y pueblo not
following the red white and blue lies that got us into the Iraq war. And,
yes, like Fernando and the 'white people of the American left which you
demean, also I am an admitted antiwar, Chicana activist, proud to stand
opposite from any podium on which you may serve: two polarized views in this
sea of contradictions that is the corporate war and takeover of the united
states and thus of the planet.
Also, I hold in my keep, my grandfather's green card and having fought in
the 1910 revolution alongside of Pancho Villa, I honor his example and
follow in his footsteps, como Fernando Suarez del solar, guerrera Azteca.
Gente like ourselves will always be your 'bee sting'.
Bravo for Moctezuma Esparza for making a film of this important time in
history that Fernando gracefully presence's, and that you so stupidly
lambaste with your slanted 'lambiche' tecnica of the right. Jesus died so
that scoundrels like you could emanate your poison pen condescension in
support of the status quo. Pues, let me assure you that my views are my own
and that I trust that Fernando represents the many parents who themselves
did not receive a proper education yet soon found out what perhaps he and
they didn't know before-- that their son's and daughters did not die in
vein. Jesus left his padre and people like myself much to direct the rest of
our lives for-- ending using our young to fight corporate and old men's wars
of trickery, buffoonery, and corporate complicity for oil and empire.
Do you think that all the parents of son's and daughter's that sign up for
the military, coming back maimed or in boxes are knowledgeable of 'foreign
policy?' and, if they were not before, that they haven't read enough
newspapers or watched enough television to quickly see that they sacrificed
their blood kin for a lie? The blood of Jesus on foreign soil is 'proof'
enough for Fernando's following of his heart and questioning the motives of
Bush and his blood thirsty cronies.
Whose ideas do you 'regurgitate?' I'm sure not just your own, but those that
belly up to the sheepish followers of the doctrine of evil that moves the
writing of this denigrating opinion offering de verguenza. Obviously, you
belong to these whose tonterias feel as though you have inherited the flag
since l776 forward, from the victor's you shall embrace the spoils.
Fernando makes it plain from his title, that he belongs to the gente of the
'500 years of resistance', guerrero Azteca, of whom we are consistent with
our legacy of destiny y honra. while your venom reeks de un tapado of
ultimate pendejes.
How dare you question
that Fernando and others like him did not know where Iraq was on the map.
Many whose children have gone to Iraq and died or are forever maimed and
scarred, may not be able to find
Iraq on the map, or for that matter,
Washington
DC. Further, of that dyslexic animal
in the white house, I bet you forgive the fact that a team of burro-crats
writes his speeches and think his thoughts before he utters them. like
Reagon, a studied actor of the John Wayne category still fighting the
Indians. and, trust me we are proud to keep circling the wagon's till we
wrest history from the likes of you and Bush and write our own pages of the
future.
We are all smart enough to know that Bush has had two fraudulent elections.
Don't waste your depleted emotional bank grieving for Jesus or any
activists’ sons or daughters who dare rise up to the knowledge their
children have given their lives for a lie, and are voicing their opinions
feely in the face of the Patriot Act. The ultimate desgracia of this piece,
is that you say you grieve for Jesus, but in reality you just want to sell
your book!
Pues, stay in your panic, and those others of your kind receiving much more
feria than Fernando will ever get. your writing will always speak for our
enemy, never for 'nuestra gente', unless they are the one's also who don't
think for themselves because they follow you, Hispanic Vista, Bush and every
vendido that comes down the tubes of history.
Bring them on! Pancho Villa lives! todos somos Marcos.
