Weep for Mexico

Weep for Mexico
Your access to the blog is: cinops be gone Thursday, May 29, 2008

I am overwhelmed and deeply saddened when I read what is happening in Mexico. Try to imagine this happening in the United States. Does anybody care?
In today’s news – Culiacan, Mexico – Mexico’s federal police need more-powerful weapons to battle heavily armed drug cartels, a senior police official said Wednesday. General Rodolfo Cruz said several federal officers killed Tuesday in a shootout in Culiacan were outgunned by members of the Sinaloa cartel.
There is a news story of yesterday. Seven federal police officers were killed in a shootout at a suspected drug house in Culiacan, home to Sinaloa drug cartel.
I believe a statue should be erected in that town in memory of these seven brave heroes who died for law and order. What the Mexican people are dealing with is fundamentally a community health and drug problem. There are dogs with rabies roaming the streets of Mexico. The citizens of Mexico deserve better.
Another headline dated Sat. May 24th, 2008, the Associated Press in the Orange County Register, “Organized crime deaths up 47 percent, Mexico says.” Attorney General Eduardo Medina told Radio Formula that 1,378 people have been killed so far this year, compared with 940 in the same period last year…. 4,152 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006 and declared a war on drug cartels that ran entire regions of Mexico. About 450 of those were police, soldiers, prosecutors or investigators. {Now these 450 are heroes. Let their deaths not be in vain.}
Now there is another news item from Tuesday, May 13th. Mexico City – A police officer and four other people with suspected ties to a drug cartel have been arrested in the assassination of Mexico’s federal police chief, authorities said Monday. Edgar Millan Gomez was gunned down inside his Mexico City home last week. Who cares?
On the one hand, we have California’s Catholic-in-name-only Latino politicians who fundamentally are opportunists and stooges for the Culture of Death a term coined by Pope John Paul II. If you can’t trust them in loyalty to their Catholic faith, how can you trust them in anything else? Yesterday, these CINOPS helped to pass AB 2747 - Assisted Suicide Bill in the Assembly. They are all with the party that promotes the five absolutes evils of abortion on demand, assisted-suicide, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and embryonic stem cell research.
And that is the party that is going to oppose Sarah’s Law and the Constitutional Marriage Amendment that marriage is between a man and a woman on the ballot in November. Sadly, many of their uninformed and duped constituents of the CINOPS will vote against these two measures.
The least these politicians can do is to remove the Catholic label when they are running for office. They have betrayed the faith of their Latino fathers and their family values and beliefs. Have they the guts to change their religious identity?

On the other hand, we have many patriotic Mexican American associations throughout the country that can pass resolutions and proclamations in support of Mexican president Felipe Calderon to bring law and order to the Mexican nation. They may need to set aside monies to train freedom fighters to help straighten out the very serious corruption facing the nation of Mexico. God bless Mexico!
