Though it was not me, as a Texan, I take liberal (little l) license to throw a little spanglish into conversation at times. It is not tempered as a result of the parties (little p) to said conversation. I've even been known to throw in some French, but that's probably the Democrat in me.

As for the white family farms, I believe that was a topical reference to the current events in Zimbabwe. (Though, again, not me saying it, so I could have misread it.)

Bravo. Finally, an Obama fan who is willing to stand up and say YES!
I disagree with most of your points, of course, but I am glad that you are expressing your opinion. Hard to have a volleyball game if everyone is one side of the net.

Nit-picking....

Por favor? I am of hispanic heritage(well, partly anyway). I am sure you meant nothing by this, but in these days of political correctness, we must all be careful of the words we use and who we use them to. At least one of my cousins would have gotten royally POed if you had spoken to her like that. Me, no problem.

Farms of white families? I think just the word "farms" would have gotten the point across without bringing race into it.

I did not mention your name.
