Mahmoud and Hernandez Love to Exploit Freedoms They Won't Pursue For Their Own Countrymen

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mexican-sometimes American Juan Hernandez love uniquely American freedoms when it comes to capitalizing on them personally, but not for their own countrymen. The people in Iran aren't free to express themselves on an international stage. They will not be free to see the uncut versions of the Columbia University fiasco or other world events as long as Mahmoud and his backers control the country. And the majority of Mexican workers will not be free to earn livable wages while any of Hernandez's homeboys have anything to do with it.

Hernandez has a book to be released, "The New American Pioneers." Can you believe it? "We don't need to close our borders," he rants. "Why are we afraid of Mexican immigrants?" He obviously thinks Americans are dumb? Is that it? Are we mindless drones who can't discern the delicate distinction between legal and illegal immigration? Are we so unwitting that we fail to see the consequence of a hostile foreign under-class. I wonder if Hernandez will publish his book in Mexico or the U.S.? Will Side1 be upside down in Spanish and Side2 upside down in English? Of course he won't allow that nonsense. Despite La Raza's best efforts, U.S. students are still taught American history. English-speaking consumers will know that his "new pioneers" aren't really new or American. I predict sluggish sales.

Both Hernandez and Mahmoud shamelessly dispense 1950's style propaganda targeted at the generation that perfected propaganda. But neither one spends half as much energy trying to improve the lot of their own countrymen. Iranians and Mexicans are suffering tremendous poverty and disenfranchisement. Hernandez's answer is to send them here. Mahmoud's answer is to blow up Israel. Their propaganda merely communicates their disdain for America and their unreasonable trust that we are all senseless and indiscriminately impressionable.
