Ex-Mexican prez no friend of U.S.

Most people by now have heard the “potty-mouth” comments against Donald Trump by former Mexican President Vicente Fox who ruled Mexico from 2000-2006. Fox deserves no respect from either Mexican or U.S. citizens. Fox ignored the Mexican drug trade while he was in office. It was only when Mexican President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) and the current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto (2012-present) stood up that the murderous lawlessness of Mexican drug lords was even minimally addressed. After the corrupt regime of Fox, it may be too late to reverse Mexican corruption or the massive drug flow into our country from Mexico.

Fox encouraged Mexicans to illegally cross our borders and to become U.S. citizens and to then vote in the interest of Mexico. Former Mexican president Vicente Fox was not our friend in the past, is still not a friend, and his anti-American rantings should be ignored.

Maybe pastors need even more ‘protections’

If some religious leaders need the “protections” of state law, then it needs to be greatly expanded! There are many other protections pastors and other faith leaders need. Christian faith leaders need to be protected against being forced to perform Jewish bar mitzvah’s. Jewish rabbis need protection against being forced to perform Easter services. Hindu leaders need protection against having to perform Buddhist ceremonies. The list is almost endless. Okay, so none of these are done today, but you never know.
